the summer across the sea, and all of the
Democrats among them have returned Re-

made many friends by the stand he took
in supporting Mr.. Cleveland when he vetoed
the river and harbor bill, and in the con-
tested election cases he took the side OF
justice, whether the contestant were Dem
ocrat or Republican. and voted to seat
the Democrats where it was clearly shown
they were entitled to the seat.
