GEN, HUR.Bur CLOSES.

Nm. CnAlHuAn AND GENTLEMEN: I heard
my Distinguished freud say at Sycamore when
wo had our u,Hcussion t1oro that was " 40 in
noccut" In tha ways of Congress. Ho lsnows
all Tho tricks. md | mn aware Of It nor. uo
known tho trick OF reading portion of record.
aud leaving out the substantial part. Ho knows
tho trick Of making tho worat appear tho bottar
sdo by misquoting, or rathar by quoting cor
rectty as far as o goes but leaving ont the thing
which is material to the olhor side. Mr.. Farus-
worth talks about
THE sA1AnY-dEAB.
Who brought It nuout? It ,rss done two years
ago tv a combination, and bad culn~
b.uasio,,, before had anything to do
with Congress; 1t was douc. Rs such things
always arc aouo, by ths mon who were going OUT,
not By the men who stuid In. It Was dune By tho
votes as tho records show, Of tho men whoaI tho
people hal elected TO s,ar at home. md who warc
purchased With this alaitlou Of e5.00O to their
salary, dated back. I had nothing to to with
rat, and you all hnow it. But II tho principle
OF buclz-pay is vroug, /. applies everywhere.
" 4etg,
Afr. FarnaSorth was iu tho Congress that voted
a,, addition to tue SALARY OF the mnlnbeis ras,ng
1t from sG,uoU to $4,000, and They dated back
their j]Ry fourteen months, anu lo toot IL. As O.
matter Of principle, I think the receiving
of lhe pay from $1,000 to $1,000 WAS just.
I tuiuk tuat tho raiging OF 1t from
75,0 600 to $7.0UO WIS not wiac. / tl!nk 1t was
too n.ilch ,t4at tito prnaaut aaaiy, or ahout hat,
In enough. IIo sdys, and truly, that l received
shat t,aY straight along fot tou mouths md
l.alf did teceiye 1t, a,4d have nelttor excuse
rur npo.o,;y to mike ios it. Il WAS eiysn to nae
BIZ u law TINT lal nothing to do with making,
and paid to me monthly by II draft from tho
Treasurer, aud td not consider 1t my duty to
return IT, aud 10 not consider it my duty now,
[Al,pla,,se.] Aud Tell You, If had beeh fool
enough to roturn it, thoy would have said all
over thls district just as they nre Eayiag III tho
ryoepo.t District aIuut Du1chard: Flo returned
it, but it waa sham. trick, and yporrisy,-

Now, ahout the rcpoal Of tho salary bill. The
rcco1,l is hero. They got into tangle and the
new rae.nbers mud nothing to do With
it, sitting by quietly as loug III we could,
rhila the old stnsers brought zip their
old q,arrels. You hayo heard what oIr.
