minated MY. 1910. lie seems TO think
that he Is addressing an sssembl, IN n. York,
at Poughkeepsie OF elsewhere. Because Gen.
Harrison did not choose to reply 10 imperi
hence, the gentleman rharqes him and the
whole party with want OF principles but ON
all subjects he was manly and OPEN and IL
was on principle tina, the People brought him
into power. Bet do gentlemen really mean
70 assert that they are without principlei ~.
SIR, no. They know the principles of the new
Administration well enough They know
that 1, will not denonnce bank paper and tl.en
I give US treasury uotes;a that IS agains, all eX-
pedients oftks kind, that the administration
will be openly and fairly conducted; that IL
will mol have debts TO large amount sur
rounding the Government In all It's depart
menis--to the Indians, for state stocks made
I Tor political purposes, and reduced TO two
thirds oftheir original value; for the Florida

MIR Calhoun (indistnctly heard) said he had
hoped that the party acting with the Senator
from Kentucky would have been contcnted
with their success, and would 90 on with the
business of the session. Let the new Presi-
| dent, when in power, present this measure Of
repeal on his responsibility, and it would then
be time enough 70 act upon IT, If his admin
istration should really be one Of reirsnehment
and economy, mr. G. would no, inquire how
it came in, but would support all his measures
TO which he could give his support
But he did not view this resolution in the
same light as the senator from n. Y. There
had been very great excitement, and there
