to halt the Senator from Illinois (Mr
Lewls) in his mad career in order to cor
rect fundamental error INTO which he had
fallen, but he was so infatuated with the
suolim'ty OF his own thought and was so
engul1ed IN the ocean of his words that he
could not pause to allow correction.

VINO denies the existence of lobby? And
the lobby has not only been in the corridors

Lewis is their champion. Senator Reed
charges that the Senate is in Disgrace
too much at the beck and call of a lobby

pledge may be carried out to an outsider:

the Senator, and I fancy those all around
me must have understood, that his object
was maledction against women for their
participation as lobbyists. l gathered that
all the more from my eminent friend as he
allowed himself in an unrehecting moment
to characterize them as "a petticoat bril-
gade" and to draw the figure of military
and martial movement by referring to a
feminine general, who gave her orders to
her colonel or her captain, who then brought
them IN as a messenger to the Senator and
