to direct attention to tho exceptional actlou had

contrast with tho prompt and partisan support
Of Gov. Kellogg. ! submitted TO tho dccision
OF the Senate On thu assumption thut tho hon.

Izc the expectation Of y consistency OF conduct

without hesitation admit aud defend biz. It
taxes both my credulfty and charity to concede
either sincerity or consistency to tho Rcpubltc-
an Senators who 10 earnestly opposed my claim
from 1878 to 1876. and 80 promptly and solidly
supported tho now Benator from Louisiana"
