that is the important position
of democratic whip There is
one man in this body who, since
his election to congress, has al.
ways been in his place and
faithfully discharged his duties.
He is q man of conservatism.
but is always an untiinchiug
democrat. He has the conf
dence and respect OF both sides
in congress because of his
thoughtful and painstaking ap-
plicatiou to the laborious duties
imposed upon him.
He has been for four years
IN the position Of whip. 1 dare
say no whip in English parlia'

American Congress, has better
performed this difficult place
than James r. Lloyd. and take
pleasure in naming him for this

mercury went down to 40 degrees,

decidedly changeable, for short
time now and then the April sun
was out as brightly as i'm the midst
of summer.
Reports from many country dis
tricts indicate that the storm was
especially severe in these locali-

what the fruit crop will be very
slim as a result, as all the early
