| Mr. Wood defended the position he had taken, and
repeated his expression Of regret that the President
had picked ont two cases and deemed them Of suti-
Client Importance to present them to the world In his
annual message. 1t was an Indication that the ultra
wing of the Republican party was forcing the Execu-
tive to aid 1t in displaying the bloody SHIRT 30 that
the party could hold on to Its illgOten power and
continue that power by the punder Ofthe treasury.
Mr. Hale said II was alleged by the gentleman from
New York that the President had been dragooned by
the radical wing Of the Republican party into the
course indicated in his message and that that wing
OF the party was likely to control the Admlnlsra-
tion. He would tell the gentleman that on the great
and fundamental doctrine Of protecting citizen In
all his rights there was Radical nor Conservative
wing in the Republican party, but there was one par
ty in the land united to man on proposition that
an American citizen, North South and everywhere
should be protected In the exercise Of his constu'
llonal rights
