speeches in tbs United States Senate upon the
silver question have become the text book of
those statesmen v no are devoted to the inter-

We take pride in the career Of Francis q.

he has risen in six years to place among the
leaders Of the House, and that bis influence in
public affairs is becoming more ind more man
fest, as is shown by his great part In the an
