would preserve time organization. Tinat if
suds a plan were carried out the denmocrats
might control the next house of representa-

kind is found in tire persons of Governor W.

to say that the five senators who recently
voted against the consideratIons of house Roll
No. 2.749 , known as the revenue bill , made a
mistake. McConnell rays if does nmot neat-
ten' ii'Inat action is taken on limo silver ques-
