On Monday, Decepiber 7th. 186 J, the Thirty-eighth Congrew convened at "" the National Capital and there ap peared a gentleman from. Iowa, Wll- ' 11am B. Allison, then a young man of: 1 4. who took the oath as a member ' of the House of ;' Representative. Schuyler Colfax waa chosen Speaker, and though not the titular- leader of h body, Thaddeus Stevens was the - actual leader. Other new members who appeared on that occasion and subsequently became distinguished political leaders, were William , R. Morrison, James O. Blaine, James A. Oarfleld and Samuel J.. Randan. . 3ut one of these men 1 left among the living, ' and his ; congressional ' career .terminated with" the Fo.rtyr. nfnth Congress In 1187, hja seat In the House of Representatives having been purchased by ; the ironmasters of PitUburg for old Jehu Baker.' After .ward Morrison long served with credit ty himself and advantage to - the country, aa i memer of the Inter calate Commerce Commission. He .Is now in honorable retirement, the most . illustrious . cltixen of the great State -' of Illinois soldier, statesman, patriot, gentleman.-" -. i Allison . served four terms In the House of Representatives and declined .i av re-election 1n order to roa for United States Senator against George .

A ' mad named Howellwas appointed to the vacancy -andAlllson contested for the succeaalon. He was beaten tby Oeorge W.

Last spring he defeated - Governor Com r mlns In a blanket primary for the term In the SenaU beginning in 190, . and that election would - have been ratlfled by the Legislature had he lived . afw months longer. Hla . service in the Senate was more than thirtXfflve yean, thing urrprece-' dented Jn the history of , that body. ,. rOn ' December lst,i. 1873, . Allison took th ,oath 4s , Senator. A few minutes later John James Ingalls was sworn la for the first time. Bdmunds and Morrill were there from , Ver-mbnt;-Sumner from ; Massachuetts, ConkJlngTroni New - York, Bayard "Tlfom JJwaririFaV-troi-lUlapis, Morton from Indiana, Carpenter from" Wisconsin,, Schurs from Missouri, Sherman and Thurman from Ohio.

Lamar were also eworn In as . members of the House that day, but they each served In Congress before the big war be tween me ciaics. .-.. Allison was not ; a brilliant-' man but a useful one.'' In debate, con trasted - with Conkllng or Bayard, carpenter . or Lamar, Taurman - or Vest, he was as Dobbin to ' Bucepha lus. He was no orator, but a ready and sagacious debater, and' what was greatly, to bis advantage, he . never made a speech without careful . and exhaustive preparation. H was far fronv'a garrulaUa man, and he never said a -wprd until he deemed it neces sary to - speak. -If all our ' solons would follow his example. The Con gressional . Record V would' . be de creased In balk at least 80 per cent The public considers Allison as a conservative. : and so - he was, . by na ture and by impulse if you . can couple the word impulse with , the mn "-but first of an.. Allison was a party man. Mike Shea, an Irish saloonkeeper, at Louisville, Ky., ' ap proached the ' late A. . O. Caruth In 1888, when that lovable fellow was a candidate for Congress, and said: "Asher, yer wrong, but Tm wld ye,? and such was the loyalty of William B, Allison to the Q.

'.."Gentlemen, I am against you, and for Jhe Established Church, by Q i. Not that I' like the Establlihed Church a bit better than- any other Church, but because It la established. Whenever TOO get your d d religion established, I'll . be tor that, tod. , .... . -, . .'And whatever the Republican party established Allison ; was 'for - that, too.", though; In politer -speech than "the stern and .'. .hostile" Chancellor ever employed. - ; t.- -. . '' '- "' ' -; ' ' They say out In Iowa that -Allison was the pupil of Grimes;; That may be: but he rorgot hla. teachings.. If Allison had -held Grimes seat in .the Senate In 1888 Andy Johnson 'would have been convicted. Allison support ed all the reconstruction measures of Stevens. Butler and Morton, not that he favored- them, but becausa the party favored them. j - ' Allison entered Congress more, of a Ire? trader than William Jennings Bryan la tffTTary.aad It was.AlMton, and not Michael C. Kerr, that made the first speech- for tariff reform in Congress after the passage of the Morrill tariff of 18(2. but he support ed every protective tariff of his party, including the McKlnley bin of 1810. and tb- Dingier bIH of HI7, No doubt he did It against his. better judgment,' but .Allison." - more ' than anything, than alt things else, was a pHceHs ' - Purchaset "Amounting tQ'$40.0aK?aM;WJ?? .ffie?

Leaving out matters of party and of policy, and relating only to the ad ministration of things. In time of tran- hjumty, I believe Allison' would 1jave been the best of Presidents. He waa naturally benevolent. He loved to confer favors. His patriotism em braced the South, all of Jt? even South Carolina, and while he would have remained a -party man1 the : South would have found a sincere' friend -in him. . - f m"' - ' James B. Beck, of Kentucky.;was a more Intellectual and more- forceful man than Allison, ahd 'a Democrat from crown to heel.' They- were chums, and Beck was Allison's pair in the Senate. Both were members 6f the two great committees of the Sen ate, 'finance and appropriations. Both were gluttons for work, and it Is per haps true that Allison and Beck with out assistance from any other Senator could have formulated and brought into the Senate every-one of the ..an nual .appropriation bills. ..Many was the morn, that,' as the sun rose, from his bed in the East, saw these two in that committee room up to the elbow at work after an all night's ceaseless labor. John O. Carlisle is-the only man I ever knew who could turn out more Vork in a given time than either of - these; but Carlisle could ' not "labor" aa they did. . His Is a genius for work; theirs was a' passion for. it: Carlisle's mind Is phenomenal, and will get to a conclusion before Alli son's or Beck's had fairly- , started. Instantaneously .Carlisle knows' wheat from- chaff; Beck and AlUson . .were necessitated to. sample and" examine. , Party man that he was, Allison was a great compromiser. - When Dick Bland passed through the House of Representatives of the Forty-ninth Lcongrees 18 to 1 and th - Senate agreed, to it and sent' It to ;R. V B. Hayes, who vetoed It, Allison set' to, work on the amendment that la known a the "Bland-Allison Wit" under the operation -of "'which mora than 1400,000.000 full legal tender If to 1 silver dollars were coined. Had Alll aon not compromised then and with out the aid of , Beck he would have failed -Hayes veto .would have". been, over-ridden In the 'Senate aa It was in the, House, and we should have had If to 1 la 1878. We would nave had had it anyhow but for Ben. Hill of Georgia, and I Q. C Lamar, of Mls aisslppl.' . . . - .- - ' : So frequently did 'Allison compose' legislative complications that ''some body dubbed him. "Old -"smoothing Iron." When the rate bill was up the last Congress, and the debate 'had been fnrlous for- months and every body predicted that it would fall, one; morning Allison, withont ado, pro posed an amendment that the, Presi dent and Aldiich agreed to. , Tillman kicked it; but the amendment was adopted, and, the bl'l : was -carrlnd Foraier. of Ohlo. andMorganv and" Pettun, of Alabama. He was con stantly doing such things, and that is what made him so Invaluable In the councils of the nation. ; ' " Of alt the men In national public life when Allison entered the House! of Representatives, In 1882, not one remains -en 'the political stage.
