Brothers in conaress.

1t is now possible that the coming
congress will have three brothers as
members, all brilliant men. 1t is
doubtful if any great parliamentary
body has ever enjoyed such an expert
ence. Two of the brothers-Charles
and Fred Landis-have already been
nominated in safe republican districts
in Indiana. The third brother with
congressional aspirations and pros
poets, bears the remarkable name OF
Kenesaw Mountain, due to the fact
that he was born while his father was
fighting in the Chickamauga campaign
He is nova candidate for the republican
nomination for Congress in q chicago
district. Iowa Register and Leader.
We hope the three Lands brothers
will all be elected and that they Will
serve with distinction and credit. But
it will not be an unprecedented thing
for three brothers to be in Congress
Maine bcgs to remind the great West
that there were earlier families in
which the congressional habit was as
strong and as well gratified. The good
old Washburn family, nurtured among
the hills of Livermore, Maine, beside
the Androscoggin, sent no fewer than
four brothers to Congress to represent
as many different states and three of
them served simultaneously in that
high body.
These brothers were Israel Wash
burn, Jr who represented Maine in Con
gress for 10 years and was later the
war governor of our State; Elihu Il.
Washburn who represented Illinois in
Congress, was secretary of state in
President Grants cabinet and was
minister to France; Cadwallader c..
in Congress, was a major general of
volunteers and was subsequently
governor of Wisconsin; and William
Drew Washburn, the youngest of the
brothers and the only one surviving,
the Minnesota flour manufacturer and
capitalist. and for six years in the
United States Senate from Minnesota.
Thus these four brothers, all rocked in
one Maine cradle. have all served in
Congress, three of them being in the
House at the same time, and later be-
ing governors of their respective states
They were foremost among the found
crs of the Republican party. These
We're not all the family, either, though
the other brothers did not get around
to go to congress. One of them,
Charles A. Washburn, became minister
to Paraguay and wrote a history of
that country. Another. Samuel b.
Washburn, became q sea captain and
served in the war as a captain of
marines. That was a family for you,
and when Ohio, where the Lands
brothers were born, or Indiana and
Illinois. which are sending them to Con-
gress, can produce such a family, we
will remove our hat and koWtoW With
all possible grace. Even Maine doesn't
claim to produce such family in
every town more than once in gen.
