that calf, and you have no interest in
it" Laughter. Now you inform
us that You are going to repeal all the
Republican measures. What Is the
job yOu have undertaken You ere
going TO undo all that the Repubif-
can party has done. Where do you
begin? Do you begin at Appomat-
tox or beforeG 1t is very important
to know where You commence and
then to know where you propose 10
stop. You have undertaken a very
large job for a party Of your size and
with the people who are TO sit as
judges upon your acts. You have
undertaken to unseat man in this
body, but you will deny that you
have undertaken the job-you have
simply undertaken to investigate the
case of a Senator on this floor that
has been decided by the highest tri-
bunal that could act on that question.
Sir, there are twelve Senators on that
side OF the house that every man on
TINS side believes has a poorer title to
his seat than the honorable Senator
from Louisiana. By fraud and vio-
lenoe You occupy your seats. Now
show Us the road how to yacate seats
in this body if you dare
Mr.. Eaton-I call the Senator to
order.
Mr.. Chandler-Very well, sir, 1 Will
take your point of order.
Mr. Eator-My point is that the
Senator from Michigan is entirely
out of order when he says that twelve
Senator's on this floor hold their seats
by fraud and violence.
Mr.. ChanIler-I did not say that !;
I said they hold their seats by poor
er title.
Mr.. Eaton-You said fraud and
violence.
Mr.. Chandler-I said we believed
it, and so l do believe, and SO have
right to Relieve.
Mr.. Garland asked that the exact
words be taken down.
The official reporter read the words
as taken down by him and as given
above
Mr.. Beck called upon Mr.. Chan
dler to name the men who held their
seats by fraud and violence.
Mr. Hill ga hoped that the ques-
ton would be dropped.
Mr.. Eaton said the remarks of the
Senator from Michigan were insult
ingly out of order and called for a
ruling by the Chair.
The President pro tenn overruled
the point of order
There being considerable confusion
in the chamber Mr. Davis (W. Va)
asked for the enforcement Of order
both on the floor and in the galleries.
Order having been restored Mr..
Chandler resumed as follows: l think
every Senator on this side of the
chamber believes that there are twelve
Senator's on that side who hold their
title TO their seats by a Simmer,
poorer basis than my honorable friend
from Louisiana That is what l in
tended to state; that it was our be
lief that their seats were obtained
and are held by fraud and violence.
But, Mr. President, l did not rise to
discuss this question. simply rose
to say to the other side, you have
your day in court-make the most of
it. Your time is short. The people
of the North have taken this ques-
ton in hand, and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, from one end of this
land to the other the people are
aroused and alarmed at the state
ments that have been made and the
action that has been taken in the Sen
ate chamber and in the other House
within the last sixty days. Let me
say to you, gentlemen on the other
side of the chamber, meme, meme, teksi !,
upharsin, is written all over your
brows
