Springfield jan. 10Th, 1910.
Being quite unwell yesterday, | pre-
vailed on friend B. who is one OF the bes,
stenographers now in Springfield, to at
tend the Senate chamber, when the final
vote was taken on the bill repeating the
system of internal improvemenls,-on
his return he handed me his notes, part
of which give you verbatim, purporting
to be speech of one of the Senators,
which if correctly reported, evidently
manifests, as great variety on speech
making in that body as could well be
found out of it, when compared with
Browning, Davidson, Little, Gatewood,
Fithian an others: '.Mr. Speaker, rise,
sir, not to make speech-speech max
ing is not my trade, but to tell the friends
of repeal, that am torment them, although
l hate rail roads as bad as any man on
this yearth prehaps, and have good rea-
son to hate them, yet | shall vote agin
repeating them, bekase all my cons,itu.

other side, too. lta,e fact, Nr Speak

but guess know as much as some 9TH

Clinton, for some years, across the bottom
there at Carlyle and one over Crooked
creek bottom in Marion, and of all infer
nal roads in creation for roughness, they

but right jam up chicken fixin tavern,
told me tina, no mortal man could tell the
eggs that had been broken in bringing
them TO market acrost that Internal rail
road, and FULLY told me the same thing
exactly about Crooked Creek rail road
