WASHINGTON. March Z. 1910.
Mr.. Davis's success, in The encounter
which il pleased Mr.. Buchanan to give
him. WINS signal, and triumphant Wbatey-
er the Loco Foco press may say about il,
be assured. Mr.. Buchanan has go. II, Tor
the rest Of his life In endeavoring to repel
the charge ofbeing in favor Of reducing the
price Of labor, he has only furnished an OPP
portuniiy for that charge TO be fxed upon
him still more strongly No doub, il was
q concerted movement The party had be-
come alarmed at the effect which their doc
trnes had produced in the country, and
found il necessary to deny that they were
their doctrines. MIR. Davis's speech hav-
ing a vast circulation. and evidently produ-
cling great effect, the attack was directed to
that quarter. II was well met, and com.
petey repealed. Mr. Davis was cool and
collected, in manner, but he went over the
whole subject with admirable clearness. and
concluded by direct declaration that what
he, Mr. Buchanan, had chosen TO say. "was
not parliamentary, not gentlemanlike, and
not true"
Mr.. Davis proved, completely and incon-
testably.
l. That his speech, as published, was the
same as he delivered it. He made this so
clear and certain, that Mr.. Buchanan could
not. and did not, drnyit.
2. That Mr.. Buchanan sat by and heard
the speech. without interrup,ng him, or
complaining oil any misrepresentation.
8. He attempted no reply TO MIR. Davis's
speech. either for the purpose OF explaining
his own or otherwise. And he rested FIVE
or six weeks before he made any complaint
at all.
All this was clearly established.
II may be added tina; Mr. Smith Of lndi-
ana, MIR. Henderson of Mississippi. and
Mr. Merrick, who had all spoken before
MIR. Davis, had understood Mr. Buchanan
Just as Mr.. Davis did. as their printed
speeches will show. And nothing said
by them was denied By M. Buchanan,
And Notwithstanding Mr.. 3. pretended
that he only just then, viz on the sixth.
became acquainted with what was stated, in
regard TO what he said. in MIR. Daviss
speech yet there is reason to believe that
he had many days before written TO Con-
necticui, probably at the r-qurs, Of friends.
to give explanations. &c. to take off the
edge Of what he had said, and give relief
to the party from the niolerable weight OF
his anti labor doctrines.
ought to have added that Mr.. Davis
declared in his place to-day, that after he
had finished his speech now SO much rom-
planned Of, Mr.. B. came up to him and con-
graduated him upon its ability. making no
complaints oil misrepresentation whatever.
And i! is a fact. also. that about ten DAYS
before this attack was made, Mr. Bnchan
spoke in the Senate OF Mr.. Daviss speech
as the ablest he had ever made, and did not
complain Of any misrepresentation.
Il is probable that Mr. Buchanan's printed
speech may have been good deal trimmed
and soiened in its expressions. compared
with the spoken speech still the noxous
doetrneis clearly and visibly in it. as Mr.
Davis proved TO demonstration by long
string Of extracts which thrust he will pub.
