his letters to members in plain envelopes,
and, it is said marked personal on the
outside. The California friends of the
measure have taken every precaution to
see that members are informed on the
matter, and have sent communications
to every representative in both personal
letters and printed circulars, setting out at
length the mode of the passage of the bill
and every detail in connection with the
subject, and this has lent valuable aid to
the friends of the bill, who have gained a
conceded fight in the Senate. When the
bill has passed the upper branch Hunting
ton and his forces will openly oppose it.
A number of the members who live at
such distance from Frankfort as to in
volve a longer railroad journey and a
change of lines left for home early to-day,
after pairing off with some of the oppo-
site party; others, who live within a few
hours ride or did not succeed in pairing,
waited till the session adjourned. By
night the majority Of them were out of
town, and things around the Capitol Hotel
and other resorts were comparatively
quiet. All the Louisville delegation went
down and with them quite number of
others, including some of the mountain
county members, who have not been out
of Frankfort since their first arrival.
There is no reason why all Of them
should not go. 1t really seems that any
one staying here is quite unappreciative OF
the entire willingness or, you may say, the
intense desire on the part of the Hunting
ton managers to give them every oppor-
tunity for enjoying themselves-free rides
on the "kyars" (even if it is against the
law specially made and provided) and free
board and lodging where it can be forced
upon the party in question, free drinks,
free almost anything else wanted-"if you
don't see it don't be afraid to ask for it,
"Will call coupe and take you in few
minutes; several of the fellows are going
There are ways and ways of getting a
hold upon a man. If he cannot be got
one way try him with another; anyway
get him.
The recess is quite relief to those who
have been engaged in the active work ol
the past week Senator Goebel among the
number. He is wonderful worker, and
though with the duties incident to his
connection with the several Senate com
mittees and the Democratic Steering Com
mittee and the caucus committee ano
other things, he has more on his shoul
ders than any other man in the Legis
lature, he is always prompt in his attend
ance on the sessions and meetings, brigh
and cheerful in appearance and seems pre-
pared for anything that may turn up.
While he is not at all uneasy about the
| 'bastard bill'' introduced by Mr.. Stiglitz
he nevertheless keeps a close watch on it
and it is well assured that he will be ready
for any emergency that may arise from
both bills being in the House at the SAM
| time and will minimize its power to hur
or delay the passage of his BILL. The Sen

morning.
AS indicated some days ago, John ]
McHenry of Ohio County, son of one o
the Southern Pacific incorporators, has ar
