TH- kind I talk Ci lists .uit- often from the lepre e natives of the Southern States. Tlds kind of talk doe no' arise .-o much beeaufy the repregenti es from the South are so much different from th( se of the North: hut it arisen from the fact that the woi kinsmen from the S uth are different from thereof the North The men who rrpr-?eiit the North' find at e'ettiui times that they have lo consult the work'ngmen of t.f-.r district bef.iv they can he eli cted to oliioe. That do- s not st em to he the case .vith the representatives from the South. They are never worried at. all about their election; it is only their nomination that ever troubles theui. It is a mystery how it is that the vorkingmen of the south never take any interest in who represents them in the halls of legislation. During the last Brsirri of Congress there was a member. fr;m the fonrth district of Minnesota, who was a republic- u, w ho had been very independent in his n-p?ii3 to the committee of the Order stationed heie to look after legis lation. The committee reported this fr-.ct in tbrdr rej, ort at the end of the session. The workingmen of that d s tiic took the mattir in Land, aid when ' the ebc-Tion was ovr and the votes ver' counted it was found that he bad re e-ved S,909, wl i!c his oppot-ent a Dem crat, had tecivM d 31,043, and a Prohibit onist had received in the suae district: 1,990 vot 8 The total number cf votes cast in ih:s district In that eh e tion was 64,830, moic t'uau doutlu the LMituber of v-ot s Cast in the uhole State i f Georgia.
