 support, and leaving his own campaign he stumped in the east for Bryan. He was elected to congress by a majority of nearly 10000 over his opponents, one of whom was republican advocate of silver and the other a populist. He came to Washington a stranger, but his ability and congeniality have a- ways won for him the esteem of many and the friendship of his associates. In his convictions he is unyielding and maintains his views with courage and fearlessness. During the fight made by him against the proposition to lease mineral lands in Utah owned by the government he demonstrated his ability as fighter and made several speeches on the subject which have been highly commented for the convincing argu- ments they contained. He took the initiative step in congress towards the annexation of Hawaii, and the fact that the provisions of the joint resolu- tion introduced by him are precisely along the lines of those contained in the treaty sent to the senate later by the president is evidence that his ideas as to foreign policies are bread and far seeing. He is student and a hard worker.
 Among the new and young men of the house none has made a more agree abieimpression than Charles K. Wheel CT. of the First Kentucky district. Or exceedingly handsome personal appear aEce, he is courteous and winning ill his manner and address. His attain ments as a scholar make him a ready and interesting conversationaiist.

All though he has dedicated his time to the mastery of law, he has yet found time to acquaint himself with the politics ot the day, and has always gone to the aid of his party. Big of stature, broad minded and generous-hearted, he has all the qualities that insure the perma- nent good will and respect of all classes of voters, and there is scarcely doubt

 A popular member of the Virginia delegation is the industrious and ap- proachable member from the Norfolk district, W. A. Young. He perhaps had the hardest fight of any of the old do- minion statesmen for those honors which he now wears SO modestly and so becoming the real man of ability There were half a dozen old and eX- perienced politicians willing and anx- ious to represent the Queen City of Virginia and it's surrounding country in the national halls of congress. but MT. Young, nothing abashed by his youth, rushed in where age. experi- ence and influence had arrayed them selves, and competition fled from him as if from glance of destiny Though hitherto with no experience as polit- ical talker, MT. Young made a decided hit IS a campaign orator, and probably contributed as much as any of the 1 speakers in the state to rolling up a majority for Bryan, Sewall and silver. He is an Apollo in appearance, stylish in dress and a Chesterfield in manners. He is 37 years of age.
 It is singular fact that these young men are democrats. The leader of the democrats in the house of representa- tives is MT. Bailey, of Texas, who is also young man, barely 34 years of age. Are we to infer from this fact that the democratic party is going to systematically put forth it's young men i; ! or is it an accident, incidental to eli mate, soil and political environment ?
