ain, and with having been instrumental
in defeating the election Of Mr.. Wood
ward to the United States Senate, from
Pennsylvania. He examined Mr.. Ritch-
ie's political course, declaring that he had
done more to break down the democrat
ic party than any other man in the Uni
ted States-that there were not twenty
five democratic members of the last
House who had not been directly or in
directly assailcd by him-and that after
having, no longer ago than 1887, come,
Ike mendicant upon his knees, beg
glng for admission into the democratic
ranks.
In the course Of Mr.. Wilmot's remarks
Mr.. Brown, Of Pennsylvania, declared
that Mr.. w. himself had opposed the
election Of Mr.. Woodward, and was in
expectation himself, at the time, of being
elected to the L. S. Senate.
Mr.. Wilmot denied that he had any
such expectation, or that he had opposed
thc election OF Mr.. Woodward, who was
his personal and political iriend-had
ever been his friend-had grown up at
his side-and read law in his office. The
friends Of Mr.. Woodward believed that
he had been defeated through the inhencc
of MIR. Buchanan.
