If any one has any anxiety to know what it cost Senator Caldwoll of Kansas to secure his seat in the Sonate, perhaps t'io fdlowing answer of Mr. Burke, edit r of the Leavo ïworth Timen, to a question of the chairiuan of the Investigation Committeo, will throw some light on t ;e matter : " He s:i 1 if he sliould show me his check book I would bo surprised at the amount it cost hi:n, and that it cost him twice as niueh as the entira salary of the office would amount to for the ent r i six ycars, and that the buying of a Logislature was a costly business. Len Smith told me a few days after Caldwell's election that Caldwell feit vory poor sinco the elect oa, as it cost like heil to buy a Legislature."
