many. Is this liberty. Liberty should
rest upon the general prosperity of the
whole country and not upon the fortunes
of such men as Vanderbilt and Gould.
Take that Vanderbilt. He commenced his
career by running a ferry down in New
York state and earned the money with his
own hands. His son to-day is worth, or is
estimated to be worth S3O0000,0O0. He
and Jay Gould, substantially, own all the
railroads between the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic coast. They have a pooling
arrangement. If they increase the cost of
transportation 2 mills per mile they will
have tax on you greater than all the
taxes you pay under the tariff. My friend
Bragg alluded to it. Congress has been
trying to reach a vote upon this question,
this bill to regulate inter state commerce.

II believe, who quoted the

Josh, that is true, but there has been so
little demand for the work that large,

hands of the author Laughter.
On Monday, June the 5, 1881, Mr.
Rogers, of Texas, moved the rules of the
house be suspended, and he introduced a
bill to regulate Interstate commerce.
This met with vigorous opposition from.
Mr.. Washburn. The bill was voted upon
and it stood: Ayes. 121; nays IS; and
| among the nays appears the names of
Messrs. Strait and Washburn.l The,
speaker here said he was troubled with
dizziness and would have to stop talking
and would yield the floor to his friend DR..
Ames.
Mr.. Donnelly, after Mr.. Ames took his
| seat spoke as follows: Gentlemen, there
is one of your candidates of whom wish
to speak a moment, against whom under
stand a determined onslaught has been
made, and it is my honored friend,
COL. CKOoKs.
| have known the colonel for years and
under very trying circumstances, and
say to you, he is one of Gods men. There
| is not a dishonest bone in his body. Ap-
plausel. And he takes it all by inner
itance. The son of Ramsey Crooks could
never be otherwise. Applausel. And
when 1 was holding my contest
with Washburn at Washington.
and when lobbyists were paid large sal
aries to go down from this state, from this.
city, and from Minneapolis, to lobby
against me and lie about me, and misrep-
! resent me and falsify me, Colonel Crooks,
| in the face of a terrific pressure, stood up
| for me like nobe man. And say to all
my friends, for I know 1 have lots of
| friends here-I know it by the votes they
have given mel beg them to stand by
| Col. Crooks on election day. Loud ap-
plause.
Mr.. William Washburn has declar-
ed that he feared Colonel Crooks.
m.re than any other man in the
state, and that if he was elected senator,
| his capacity for organization, his fidelity,
which could not be corrupted, would make
him so strong a man that Mr.. Window
doubted whether he could go back to the
senate again. Applause. I am not
here to abuse Mr.. Window, but let me say
1 was man who followed him and his ca
reer through the Republican party, but
party. Gentlemen, I want you to stand by
Col. Crooks.
And will say word here Il will talk
till drop, and somebody catch me,) for
my friend
GEORGE ALLEN.
Applause He deserves it for himself,
for he is a worthy young gentleman. He
deserves it still more for his father, loud
applause who is, believe, identified with
the progress of your city; and this noble
building long after he is moulded in the
dust will remain as an enduring monument
to his sagacity aud integrity.
But want to say word for another
man here. I do all this without solicicita-
ton. I do it under the impulse of my
heart, but want to say one word for my
friend
JERRY MCCARTHY.
Applause. Jerry may have his faults.
We all have; every man has. There
are few perfect men in the
worle; there is only one in the state
of Minnesota, and he is troubled with dir
illness. Laughter. want to call your
attention to this fact, that whatever may
be said of Jerry, defy any man to show
that he has ever sold out a cause, betrayed
a friend or betrayed trust. Applause !.
will say in conclusion on this point,
have not time, neither is it necessary to
look over the rest of your ticket. 1 leave
the whole thing to your cordial support.
In conclusion. let me say a word for
MY FRIEND pr. AMEs
He has been very much mallgned anG
very much misrepresented. Every public
man must be. saw an anecdote the other
day of a young printer who entered the
Office of an editor and asked him for some
work. He said, II have be en- promising
man in my day. have had brief legis-
lative career and have been sheriff of my
county" "What is your name?" says the
editor. $50 and SOL says the printer. ooh
yes, have got letter referring to you
same man, 1 guess And he took letter
out of his files and commenced reading it,
wherein this man was accused of
perjury and forgery. The whole let
ter was terrific arraignment
of the man, and when he had got through
he says, "Mister," says he, ''read that over
again" ''What dc you want it read over
again for,' says the editor. SIT reminds.
