narFisOns We know that ho ulealrSatsd il false and
frivolous; for il formed wtJ bin no objection Il
gssast the claims Of Mr. Baldwin to'hs confidence and
support. And further know THAT nothing has since
occurred TO render the charge loss False and frivolous
than il was nj that ine.
My colleague (Mr. Duncan when Masking his speech
the other day, read extract frsm the journal Of the
Senate OF Ohio which forth the 18th section Of the
BILL and the proceedings of that body in relation to il
AT the same time, he tile Clerks table paper,
which Inc said contained TIE 'Eemarks of Gen. Lucas,
delivered sat She time HE measure was under discus
sion" might be forever jSed in the minds Of tie present
and all coming generations he desired that hesc re-
marks might be read; aBa To give greater force 10 the
remarks OF Gen. Lucas, gy colleague pronouseed an
eNnavagan euogy his Character and public services
With these praises whether well orI deserved haYe
nothing do. The whole speech attributed TO General
Luoas furnishes inteal evidenoetbas it was not made
sat the time the measure under d9cussan,n but IS
the production of laser peri0s, land the eflson OF
heart canSercd with Tie accumulated venom of years
an't me last paragraph nnuckiy for the author Is per-
iectsy conclusive thLppoint II in these words
"ThequestiOn was them nken on Mr.. Fitban'S notion,
and carried in the affirmative: Yeas % nays r. So this
obno ous prOvision vOtttlor ald tieended by VIM. H.
HaI 'ssts' uoes not now disgrace the statute book OF
Ohio.'
General I.ucas, incline TO. thnk weuId have been
less bitter in his denunciaiions had he forgotten,
the late period when he this speeeit he lad
himself voted for' The Eth section, which IN its ope
ration cne Of the patriots of the Rovolutfon who
might have been provoked 20 commit assault in de-
Tending the honor of his Government is far more
gorous and degrading than the section against which he
has directed the thunder of his reprobaon Before he
ventures writing another philippe against Gen. Har
rison, would oaf his attention that section, andask
him why he allowed il to pass, and sdisgrsce the
statute book Of Ohi0?' But, sir, it is ding
known in parliamentary proceedings to debate propO-
siiion after il has been decided and rather difficult
announces pending the discussions the precise result of
the vote, and odesgnae the of particular in
dvidual having voted in the negative before the ques
ton decdea,I should be glafif my honorable col
league would inform me how Gen. Lucas enabled,
during the debaeon pending notion to say that ''the
question tlisHtRken;'' that it carried in the
acknowledgements, nays 1897 anato declare exciting
y, tsat in consequence of this vote, the Eobnoxious
proposition, votedor and defended by Win. H. Harri
SON. does disgrace the statute book of Ohio.n
Such speech, delivered sat the time the measurewas
under discussions must have sounded strar gely the
ears of his brnthes Senators!
Again, sir, is it rot little remarkable thatthe s'now
Governor of the Terri'"y of Iowa" should then have
selected the Of Gen. Harrison from the twelve Sc
majors who all voeed the way, and made il the
special object of a rude and malignant ASSAULT And
think you he wouldhave committed this outrage in his
presence; Where the motive at that day for sing
ngout Cen Harrison and hsding him up TO the odium
OF The country without remark on the conduct of
these who voted with him. No motive then existed,
and no such speech made.
Ny colleague has been deceived This pretended
p'ech like the charge it his brought support, has
beemtrmped up to,serve the party purposes OF shy,
and then TO be consigned 10 oblivion forever
have now donewith this stale cal mny: and nothing
remains for to do hut deliver it 10 the indig
nant scom and contempt of an honest and generous
people.
