Revision -lownward will soon be an accomplished lact." v. Thi: letter is being used by the present Republican chairman of the committee, Senator Penrose, and by nther members, is full of interesting 1 matter at this particular time, when ven some -Democrats doubt that their arty will safety control the Senate.
