EATON REsEws THE POLITICAL. DISCUS.
SION.
Mr. Eaton, Who was entitled 10 the
floor, said that he was glad the Senate
adjourned Just after he took the floor
on Tuesday last, because after reflection
he was satisfied that this floor was not the
place for . political speech on the River
and Harbor appropriation bill, but he
had wprd to say to the Senator from
Ohio (Sherman);. that Senator had said
that there was no act Of the Democratic
party within the last 40 years which
could be defended before the country.
All this was said in the face Of the fact
that Tor 60 years the history OF the United
States was the history; of The Democratic
party. Under the Democratic rule the
country had increased from 1900, 900 to
O,OOO, 900 Of people;old England had been
humbled on land and sea by Democratic
men, and the Democratic party was
worthy OF the country. He Eaton)
would say out upon all such talk,
=, IT WAS CHILDISH AND ABSURD,
and ought not to be heard on the floor Of
the Senate. He promised hereafter in
more than one part Of this broad land TO
discuss this question, but not here in the
Senate again. The honorable Senator
(Shcrnlan) ventured 10 couple the honor
ed name OF Samuel J. Tilden with that
OF VIM. NJ. Tweed. There was no de-
Tense for that here or anywhere else.
Benedict Arnold was once trusted officer
and associate OF George Washington, the
iatherrof his country. One Judas IScariot
was called an Apostle.
IT WOULD NOT DO FOR ANY MAN
on this floor or anywhere else to couple
the name OF Samuel J. Tilden with that
OF Wm. N. Tweed, or any other malefac-
tor, except rs his prosecutor. He (Eaton)
made no charge against any Republican,
neither did he wish to defend the Demo.
cratic party; he would do that hereafter
and elsewhere. -
Mr.. Sherman said the Senator from
I Connecticut had by straining the. Ian
guage which he uttered in the heat Of the
debate, made q new issue; he then read
from his remarks Of Tuesday last, and
said what he meant to say was that
no PoslrsoN OF THE pEMocRArfc'PARtY
since 1876 could be defended before the
country, and on that question lie would
be glad to meet his friend from Con.
necticut on the stump. He next re-
ferred TO his remarks in regard TO Tilden,
and said he did not mean 10 say that he
was man OF the same character as
Tweed, but 1t was we'll known that Tilden
was . pohticaland 10 some extent a per-
sonal associate OF Tweed's. He (Sher-
man had letters and kilograms furnished
him by his friend from Rhode Island,
(Anthony) to. show this fact, but he felt
bound to say that when Iiiaen Sld par
tlclpate IN the, efforts san New iork, 10
put down iraud, nwaS after long aelayr
though when he did commence WORK ne
did so with vlgor.
TrnpEs DID DHcLrsEAT FIRST
to become member Of the Committee Of
Seventy. In all the reform for which
Tilden was distinguished he was aided
throughout by the Republican party In
New York, and opposed BY the strong ele'
pient Of the Democratic party. it was
only!by the aid OF reiormers that he got
the htleof the 4ireatketormer.
MI. Eaton said he would not be drawn
into a political discusaons 61t when the
Senator IRON Ohio satd. lllden was an
associate OF Tweed, he Eaton might a.
we'll say the President ot the United
States was an associate OF Mcdonald. The
Senator from Onio- had challenged the
Senator's on the democratic side to name
one Republican who had been detected 10
faud. He (Eason) did not propose to
name one now out Of thousand.
MI. Herman said that he didAnot dealre
to discuss politics on this 6lll, but 40 Mr.
.Illden lived IN the state ot New,4oIk be
desired 81! TO say that when the. frauds 1.., in
