Conservative Republicans in general terms but
smoke with especial harshness of Mr.. Fessendei..
whom he denominated the Conservative Senator
from Maine. Fessenden, viewing Chandlers
soeech as personal attack upon himself,
replied to it in language and tone soaked
q IN NORWOOD. His fault was not confidence
in Andrew johnson, he said, but want of confidence
in Senators who assumed TO control, without having
the capacity TO do In the course of his remarks
he referred TO charges of nepotism brought against
him blythe newspapers. He had never sought the
appointment of his relatives. he said, and he men
toned several cases in which he had directly and
positiycly refused to recommend them. He was very
much affected when he referred TO his sons who had
been in the army, one of whom was
killed and all of whom he had been 40

rank Chandler replied to Fessendens speech with
