TO SUCCEED GEN. COX.
Plans For Reorganization Of the Of
fcers of the Senate.


The contest over the Senate offices has
been settled by the determination to Sc
lect ex-Congressman Charles g. Bennett.
of New York, as secretary, and Danlel
Ransdell, of Indiana, as Sergeant-at-
arms.
Mr.. Bennett was finally selected by Sen
ator Platt after quite number Of other
New Workers had declined the position.
He was noted lin the House for his ex-
treme elegance of dress, and gained some
notoriety as an example of manly beauty.
He never appeared without wearing w@lite
''spats," and his vests We're marvels of
color. His luXuriant auburn mustache
was unequaled, and his curly hair, of the
same hue was another adornment which
was at once the envy and the pride of the
House. Mr. Bennett also gained some
fame through rumor that he was to be-
come the son-in-law Of Thomas B. Reed.
Yesterday he occupied a committee room
of the capitol, and Senators were guided
to him, in order to make his acquaintance
and gaze upon his pulchritude.
Mr.. Ransdell was formerly the United
States marshal for this District, serving
under President Harrison. He is n man
of high character and acknowledged abll-
ity, but he will need all his talents TO
keep his administration up to the high
standard set by Col. Bright whose re-
tirement is Il matter Of universal regret.

He insisted that the compact with the
United States had been observed; that
polygamy had practically ceased, that the
Mormon church had given up polygamy
in good faith. Mr.. Roberts said he had
BEEN in public life for twenty years and
was not driven to the defense of his
moral character. He was not here rep

received greater number of votes from
Gentiles than Mormons. You can Meth
