not in his remem brsnce had the speaker
made 80 many speeches away from his po-
81 ion. The reply Is that ne was oongeo

the steering.
Col. HssEins takes the people OF YER
mont TO task, who persist In electing new
and uDtried men at each biennial election
and are responsive for such conditions
And il did seem from his letter that the
state made great mistake in the choice
OF its representatives. for 1885 ont the
| fnsl wind Up OF the speakers letter puts
a different iig BIT Cd the subject matter and
really controyerts all previous argument.
| He SAYS that he has four times been
elected 10 he Vermont legislature and for
thirty years oeen acquainted with its per-
sonre,. and that be has no hesitation IN
zffirming that the House Of 1888 Was above
The average OF any preceding It. IL we
knew which end OF the letter to believe, II

| The Burlington Ness assures as the last
| House was so cheap that whoever 10
elected. tue next will be an improvement.
Thanks, Mr.. Neps We will rest in
quiet for two years.
Speaker Haskins says the House proper
lily refused TO concur with the Senate IN

SO doing the expenses of 5000 saved TO
the state 800 900, but he doesn't tell how.
It is enough for Us to know the speaker
says so.
One thing Is very satisfying-coming
| from the colonel-that the senate was
composed of 30 very pleasant gentlemen.
Too much praise might lead as 70 think
there was something wrong. l had an
idea that they were pleasant and agreeable
most Of the time, but as for Icing sound
legislators, they were much inferior TO the
abused House. This, however, is faint
praise for Representative hall.
