| Butler OF South Carolina were chums and often
went fishing trips together. Mr.. Henderson nd
Mr. Blackburn were chums and "A standing pair
! existed between them. In the present Senate the
chums of the same political faith. Mr.. Cor
man and Mr.. Faulkner. and Mr. Berry and Mr.
Walthall. are very thick as schoolboys say. And
among the members Mr.. Foraker and Mr.
Fairbanks are observed much together. They are
neghbors at home. and each has often crossed the
