Voorhees, made reply, but was not until
May 1 that the curtain rose on the full
performance with fine stage setting. Said
Mr. Voorhees,: 'The Senator from Kansas
has been walking the streets and posing
before the world as a political vitality since
the 9th of March. AS an old friend Of mine
in Indiana once said to me, VINO was in

walking around to save funeral expenses.

settled him last March.
The only criticism l have seen in the
press is that galvanized the corpse.
81 regard the Senator from Kansas the
most brilliant and capable man on his side
OF the Chamber" Following, he attacks
the Senator'S biography in the Congressionl
Directory, and accuses him of promoting
himself as an afterthought as Lieutenant
Colonel and a Judge-Advocate of yolun-
teers.
Now, if the Senator from Kansas can
find in any Adjutant's report of the State
of Kansas where his name ever appeared
as warrior even in that diluted and dilapi-
dated form of Judge-Advocate,I will let up

having any connection with the nights O!

correspondence of those who had taken

where 100000 men were promised for the
Southern cause was in that office, and
various correspondence from various men.
