Cheney thoroughly worn out and at peace with himself and the world, involuntarily yielded to Morpheus and slept the sleep of th just but even his dreams were disturbed by the vexing fanatical (?) questions and fancied himself at Washington where he had been sent by an indignant and long suffering people to break the dead lock in the Senate. With burning eloquence he pictured to the wise law makers the deplorable condition of the country and the fearful consequence of a longer delay. He warned them that companies were being formed to march to the capital, ????? the stubborn Senators unless they speedily took a vote. They were so moved by his ???? that they pledged themselves to offer no further objection(?) to a vote and the Doctor returned home perfectly satisfied. The proceedings of the senate this week justifies the belief in counting votes cast than shadows ??????. Dream again, Doctor. (Transcriber's note: From other articles in the preceed! ing issues this would be in reference to a very lengthy debate in the US Senate regarding the repeal of the Sherman Silver Act.) end # 42
