DICK IS NOW
u. 5. SENATOR.

President Pro Tempore Frye and the
oath was administered.
Shortly after he had taken the
oath of Office the Senator met the
members of his family and his more
immediate friends, together with
Senator Foraker, in the marble room.
AS the latter was presented to the
new Senator's mother he said.
"Mrs. Dick, it must have been 4
source of great qualification to you
to have been present and see your
son sworn in as a member of the Sem
ate. congratulate you. My moth
er was present when | was first in
stalled as Governor of Ohio, and my
greatest pleasure that day was found
in the feeling of pride which she
had
Mrs. Dick, her voice somewhat
shaken with emotion, expressed the
sense of motherly JOY which she so
deeply felt.
This has been a halcyon day for
lSenator Dick in another way. It
contained long and earnest talk be-
tween him and Senator Foraker,
which seemed to make for the most
cordial relations between these two
distinguished men, and cleared away
number of Misunderstanding of a
trivial character within themselves
but under the accommodating pro
cess of public discussion, had beer
: magnified until they took on seri
Gus aspect. 1t was supplementary tt
the talk between the President ani
l Dick last night, when the former
urged party peace in Ohio, and de
. clared his purpose to act in all mat
: tiers affecting their interests with alb
i solute impartiality and fairness. II
y this talk the matter of specific ap
I pointments was not taken up, al
though the matter of appointment
as general proposition was wei
t gone into, together with the welfar
, of the party in the State.
!, THE HATCHET BURIED.
II The same line of conversation wa
e followed to-day. 1t was found tina
1t there was really nothing of disagret
IS ment between the Senators of sue
a character as need cause either
d complete or partial severance {
81 friendly relations. Many rumors an
,i stories which have come to bot
y were taken up,and found to hay
le contained nothing at the start whic
'e need to have given offense.
Ie Senator Foraker assured Senate
le Dick that he entertained nothing bl
p the kindliest feelings toward hir
IN that there was no intention to tire
MS pass upon his rights, and that
4. trusted and believed that they cou
ne work in perfect harmony and accor
e, Senator Dick replied that in Il
ne matter of regard for his colleague
ne accords none a place above him: tn
,f, there was no purpose or thought
ne defeating him for delegate altar
n to the national convention, and t
lily Organization in Ohio was not for a
We one man, but for the upbuilding
ne the party in general and the succt
ed of its candidates. He likewise {
,p- pressed the firm conviction that tn,
us relations would be of the most frieI
ny ly character, and assured Sena'
IN Foraker that he would prove as lol
i've to his-interests as to his own.
While there was no plan of proc
an ure adopted, and no fixed agreemt
OF reached regarding the matter of
Iho pointmeuts, there was a mutual
I've derstanding that in the future IL
Ine would consult upon all matters VIII
put might arise. and permit no quar-
leo to come between them. Bygo
en- were looked upon as bygones.
MS 1t was the most satisfactory I
iaa regarding Ohio politics and Repu
axe can conditions that has taken pli
H. in some time. Unless someth
MS should arise to disturb it the orgs
'm- zation in Ohiolwill be an organ
tion for the benefit of both Senate

the zation, and in that all Republic
eet will work together. Senator Hal

an great brainy man, and lovea
