Mr.. Dwight, the House whip, had sent
out urgent calls to keep the full Repub-
lican majority in the House. Many men

fused to do. The first roll call, wrote
Mulhall showed the largest attendance

The real task assigned Mulhall and hi;

he did everything he possibly could I

the work that has been going on here

Senator Cummins. a member of the
committee, denied categorically Mulhalls
statement, in a letter dated May ., 1870
that Senator Cummins had invited him
to accompany Cummins to the office of
the late Senator Dolliver and that they
there discussed speech made by Repre-
sentative Kendall of Iowa in favor of an
eight-hour bill, to which the n. A. NJ.
was opposed. Mulhall wrote that Senator
Cummins upbraided the manufacturers
for giving Speaker Cannon a prominent
place at a banquet held at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York.
I'm getting tired Of being accused
Of being denied" said Mulhal.
1T makes no difference to me whether
you are tired or not replied Senator
Cummins angrily. If you don't tell the
truth 1 will deny any misstatement."
No Reelection on Cummins.
Mulhall said there was nothing in the
letter to reflect on Senator Cummins. He
declared the n. A. NJ. had always been
opposed to Cummins and Kendall and
were still fighting Cummins.
That's a damnable lie,'' said John
Kirby. jr., president of the n. A. NJ.

corridor during recess, referring to Null
halls statement that the N. A. n. was
fighting Senator Cummins

driven insane by the National Association
of Manufacturers during the last cam

She is now said to be confined at the

this city.
The trouble started when Mulhall was
explaining that he did not in person make
the weekly payments to the labor work

Jersey and Pennsylvania

went to Feeney or TO some one designated
by me. 1t was paid out, and nv accounts
were kept by my stenographer, who trav-
eled with me for twelve years, and with
out whom 1 would not have thought of
going into a campaign. They drove her
crazy in the last Hughes campaign in
New Jersey.

Nelson.
Lulu K. Mulhan; that's the woman

''Oh, your wife" commented Senator

''Yes-well, in a sense my wife" replied
Mulhall; and then he famed up: 'Tll go
