Howell, removed. He acted, he said, in ac-
cordance with the suggestion of the Cover
nor but instead of the Governor carrying out
his part of the proposition, he had appointed
man unrecommended by him, and in this
way he had treated him, as q Senator, with
great indignity and inflicted upon his constlt-
ueuts great wrong. Very soon after the ap'
pointment of Sanders, he called, he said, upon
Chamberlain, and asked for an explanation
of his conduct, reminding him Of the agree
ment which had been entered into between
them, which agreement he (Walker) had in
good faith carried out, but which had been
shamefully broken by his Excellency, the
Governor Chamberlain finding himself in
an unpleasant dilemma, endeavors to appease
the wrath of the Senator by telling him that
the appointment Of Sanders was made upon
the recommendation of Judge T. j. Mackey.
At this stage of the speech, Chamberlain was
spared for while, when the thunder-bolts of
wrath of the mighty Senator fell without
mercy upon the head Of Judge Mackey. The
idea that the voice of Mackey should be more
potential with the Governor than that of a
Senator, was wrong that was absolutely in
tolerable He charged the Judge of the
Sixth Circuit with "selling OUT the Republi'
cans of Chester county, which opinion was
enthusiastically endorsed by his admiring
listeners. The speaker then poured out the
vials of his indignation upon Chamberlain for
not appointing day for the election of a
Sheriff for Chester county. The reason given
by the Governor, that he was not invested with
the authority to do so, was not satisfactory to
the Senator. The Republicans of the county,
he said, were powerless in the hands of the
Governor, who had been untrue to them. lie
called upon his co.laborers in the Republican
cause to strain every nerve to secure an elec-
ton for Sheriff of the county. He earnestly
entreated them to get up petition, signed, If
necessary, by every Republican in the county,
asking for the desired election. The speaker
then meted out condemnation to Chamberlain
for nominating Yocum for Treasurer of Ches'
ter county. But our comments upon this slg-
nifcant speech have already been prolonged
to too great length. Walkers manner
was even more significant than his language.
A wild bull in China store could not have
raved, and tore, and more effectually demol-
ished things than the Senator did in exposing
and denouncing what he considered the politi'
cal sins of Governor Chamberlain. But the
Governor will probably survive the demoli.
