kind of politics had arrived.
During this latter part of the speech
many curious glances were directed at
Peabody and Stevens, who sat IN the

chamber, only an aisle separating
them. Through this choice OF seats
they could confer without leaving their
places. Various senatorial associates

1t difficult to believe their ears-but
