the Government had fixed greatly

The Independent Senator.

AS to Senator Davis consistency
in allying himself with the Repub-
lican Senators to place himself in n
position of possible power, it is only
necessary to refer to his speech at
the last session, defining his posi-.
ton, when there was a Senatorial
tie, just as there was supposed to be,
when he turned tail on his pledges.
He said:
Gan honorable recognition of the
trust generally confded to my keep.
ing by the Democratic voters in 1877,
requires me to sustain the existing
order of the Senate, for which | dis
claim all responsibility. Parts of it
are neither agreeable to my taste or
to my judgment. In giving this
vote it is proper for me TO say, what
ever may be the result, that l can
accept no honor at the hands Of either
side"
He would not vote for Senator An.
thony, Republican. He refused to
vote for Senator Bayard, Democrat.
But although he had publicly pledg.
ed himself "to accep, no honor at the
hands Of either party" he found no
difficulty in indirectly aiding the
Republicans to elect Senator David
Davis. That was the provocation
that took him off the fence.
