am disposed to believe, Mr.. Chair
ace is not "reaL genuine' loco foco hard
handed democrat. He cant have the
fright stripe" You may depend upon it
something must be out of gear. Why, sir,
he loves tassels, rosettes, and girlish tinery
almost as much as a real Bank Wing loves
hard cider. BY the act of the Sd of March,
1887, Congress appropriated twenty thou
sand dollars "tor furniture of the Presidents
House," quote the language of the law,
"for furniture of the Presidents House. "
Now, find the entire bill of Messrs. Pat
ten s. Co., included in the ''abstract of
payments made by Thomas l.. Smith. agent
for purchasing furniture for the Presidents
House, from 18th April, 1887, 10 10th
May, 1888" | would, therefore, respect
fully inquire whether ''silk tassels and ro-
setts" are considered household furniture,
in the legitimate democratic meaning Of
the word? | ask, sir, whether "slIk tassels
and rosetts" can be democratlcally inven-
toried as part and parcel of the household
furniture of a hard handed loco foco? Are
"slk tasseIs and rosettes" hereafter to be
written down, deemed, and taken in the
same category with frying pans, oaken
chests, chaf-bags and croyttubs? As well
might the honest citizen Of Tulpehoc ken
valley, who garnishes his by 10 looking
glass with string of blue-jay, yellow ham
mer, whitaker, and mocking bird eggs, call
those speckled eggs household furniture, and
formally bequeath them. when he is about
to take leave Of plantations and speckled
eggs, by his will, written or nuncuptlve.-
Sir, this would be too bad for a Christian
country. But this is not all, for in the
same abstract Of payments made by L. l..
Smith, the following bill is also included:
"WAsnINGroN. Aug. %, 1897

Do you suppose Mr.. Chairman that plain,
