" ed States senate, installed nearly
eight years ago, but never put into
service, are now being cleared Of the
cobwebs and stains of time, and will

steam, plunge, shower and electricity

Charges of extravaganza were aimed
at the baths in congressional debate
when the power of administration last
swung from Republican to Democratic,
and as a result the baths, installed in
the then new senate Office building,
were shorn of their expensive equip
ment, bereft of their attendants and
left to gloom.
The marble slabs, Turkish rugs and
steam proof tables and chairs were
turned over to government hospitals,
and only the marble shells and nickel
fittings left in place.
Now, however, the baths are coming
back, but under new plan. Mem

MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT
Ambitious Party Leaders Prevented
the Nomination Of Judge David
Davis in 1872.

In 1872, David Davis of Illinois
missed his chance for the presidency
through the overweening ambition
of Horace Greeley of New York, and
B. Gratz Brown Of Missouri. The Lib
eral Republican convention met at
Cincinnati, with thousands of prom.
inent Republicans In revolt against
Gen. Grant, and the powers in the Re.
publican party which controlled 1t.
Davis, who had been former Demo-
crat, had become a Lincoln Republi-
can, and Lincoln put him on the Su-
preme bench. He would have had a
great deal Of the Lincoln support and
a large Democratic following, IL he had
been nominated; but Greeley was am
bitious-and so was Brown-and they
formed a combination to nominate
themselves, defeating Davis, who might
have been elected over Grant. The
business interests of the country were
distrustful of Greeley, but they had
confidence in Davis. That the Grant
administration and the Republican
party, as then controlled, was unpopu-
lar, was shown in the great Demo-
cratic congressional triumph of 1874.
