for twenty minutes when Van Buren's

Then the undercurrenti The South

casting their ballots for him, they had

Let me step aside q moment to say,

In the sky of the Washington society

and the other was the crude. rough
coated, aggressive democrat from the
frontiers of the West. These latter
were often seen In the holiday regalIa
of farm or village at fashionable func-
lions. Some of them changed slowly,
and by and by reached the stage OF
white linen and diamond brenstpins

Senator Wright strongly favored the

Most of the republican party leaders
have declared themselves friendly to
legislation favorable to women. Yet
the republican majority in the appro
