ever heard committee objected to o.
account of the character Of It's members
and am glad that the first experimen
has been tried upon Senators agains
whom so little can DO said ri'| iI...
Mr., T4URMAN-The Senator from
Rhode Island wholly evades the question
| No Senator will say a word in disparage
ment Of the character of either Of iht
Senators proposed as members Of this
Committee, and no. snch issue can bC
forced upon the Senate. We are not herl
to investigate the character Of Senators
We are here to inquire whether this pro
posed Committee will be in acCordlpcS
with parliamentary Ilsages and good
sense. The question is, whether having
resolved 10 Investigate, Investigations shRl
be committed 10 q committee, the MAORI
lty Of whom are earnestly in favor OF the
investigation, or 10 men who arc opposed
70 it. To say that those who favor M
Investigation ought to be on the commit
tee, implies no imputation upon the mo-
tives Of those who would be excluded
from it. There is q difference in opinion
in the Senate as to the existence Of frauds
and tho necessity for investigation. NJ
Mr.. CoNKLTEG-W What difference I?
MIR. THURMAN-The Senator from No.
vada said the other day that there was no
necessity for the investigation Rt all; that
this administration and ia officials were
