Washington Letter on Congress and Public Figures
Special Correspondence notes stenographers rate, habits of speakers in the House, and a Nebraskan pie stand tale. It covers Senator Platts revised appearance after marriage, a whisker quip about J Ham Lewis, interactions with Oklahoma delegates visiting the Great Father, Hanna’s stance on Cuba, and a sharp exchange about fools in the country.
