no evidence that the Cincinnati Convenr
| ton was to make nomination for the
Presidency. He (Morton) thought there
was no doubt about that, but he would
| have the Secretary read from speech of
Governor Gratz Brown, of Missouri, the
| leader Of the movement, to show that
nomination was to be made by that con
vention. Governor Brown, in that speech,
delicately intimated that he expected the
nomination himself, but at the time ex
| pressed willingness to stand for strong
er man from another state and he Nor
Tton) believed it was generally understood
that Senator Trumbull was to be the
candidate. The people generally under
stood that the Senator had stepped out OF
the Republican party, stepping, however,
within easy returning distance; and was
standing with his back all chalked over.
Barkis is within" Morton declared
there was still rebellion in the South, and
| he believed more men were killed and
wounded by the Ku-Klux during the last
| four years than were killed in the war Of
| 1912. The Senator further criticised Mr.
| Trumbull's vote or the amnesty bill, and
| insisted that if he and Mr.. Upton had
voted for the bill as amended, instead OF
against it, it would have passed by two
thirds vote. The Senator (Trumbull)
talked much about civil service reform,
but he had been informed to day that that
very Senator had made 1913 recommends
tons to office since the Administration
came into power.

of knowing exactly how many he had

concentrations, and there were no men
now in Office who had been placed there
at his request.
After some additional sparring between
the two Senators the discussion was again
taken up on Monday, when Senator Nye
addressed the Senate and said that in this
debate the purpose of destroying the Re-
publican party had been openly aVowed
This attack on the Administration had
been arranged by two distinguished Sen
ators and they f1attered themselves that
between them they could "fetch Grant.
These attempts to destroy the party wonld
fail.
Dir. Nye then made a few remarks on
amnesty, and concluded by reading from
q California paper parody on Excel
sior," with refrain at the end of each
verse, " Anything to beat Grant"
An animated conversation then ensued
between Senators Frelinghuysen and
Schurz, the former expressing surprise
that the latter should reiterate a charge
after it had once been disproved The Sen
ator from Missouri denled in his opinI IN
that any charge of fraud had been dis
proven, and eaquired whether the Senator
from New Jersey referred to what was
discrepancy between the War Depart
ment and Treasury Department account
Senator Frelinghuyscn-I do.
Senator Schurz-Then [ misunderstood
the Senator. never made that charge,
and therefore do not retract it and now

of the mysterious disappearance of large
sums of money, meant nothing but this,
that there was much larger sum paid
/ by France than was received by this
government, the commission of Reming-
ton being known and inconstderable in
the aggregate.
Senator Frelinghuyseu-Then the SEN
ator puts his charge on weaker ground
than I supposed. did no t suppose that

came up on Friday, Mr.. Voorhees, spoke
