LINCOLN, February "a. - Several
days ago the senator from Red vii.
low introduced q resolution to the eff.
feot that the senate would not adjourn
till after some legislation had been
passed that would relieve the people
from railroad oppression. It was
we'll known at the time that this reso-
luton was all for bunoombe, and It
was known also that said resolution
was written by . senatorial brother.in-
law and intended to defeat the very
law or laws that II purported to favor
and under these circumstances SEN
ator Dech, while he voted for the res
olution, send up an explanation of his
vote, setting forth that no believed
that the resolution was al chat, but
that he was willing to stay till Gabrlel'e
horn was sounded II necessary.
In answer to this the senator from
Red Willow undertook to say that the
senator from Saunders was not what
he should be; that he wa not 0 gen-
tisman AID that bis explsnation Of bis
said vote was unbeooming q senator,
etc.
In answer to the charges made by
Senator Dolan, Senator Dech said:
Mr.. President-I rise to o personal ex.
PLANTATION. The gentleman from Red
Willow, Senator D0lsn, last evening saw
fit to misrepresent facts. First the expla-
nation OF my vote was ruled out of order
and therefore was not q part OF the record
OF the senate; this should have satisfied
the gentleman. He further misrepresented
me in his statement as being opposed to
staying for the purpose of railroad legisla-
tion.
l do not charge the senator from Red
Willow as intending his resolution for bum
comb, IL Is more than likely he did not; I
think he like numbers Of statesmen of the
past, has q chance to learn, II be grows
older he will know more, he may even pos.
sibly learn what o gentleman Is. The dr.
ference between he and I Is that he knows
what others affirm; j know what I affirm.
With the poet, / must exclaim:-
"Oh, man; thou feeble tenant Of an hour;
Debased by slavery. corrupt by power;
Who knows thee we'll must quit thee in
disgust
Degraded mass Of animated dust"
The gentleman, himself, Ia the falsifer,
when he states that my remarks are false.
I know what has been going on In the last
forty days. / keep my sslf posted. I may
not be : gentleman, but I venture the
opinion that where ! Am best known my
character will compare favorably with
the banker from Red Willow, who OPP
poses usury laws and then bowls for the
dear people. The poet we'll says =
when vice triumphant holds her sover.
eign sway;
Obeyed by all who nought beside obey;
When folly--frequent harbinger Of crime
Bedecks her cap with bells Of every cline;
When knaves and fools combined DER all
prevail,
And weigh their ~justice ina golden scale,
Then Ia the time when men who do wish
mankind well are bounded down; but let
me here inform the gentleman, and for
ever may 1t sink into his soul, that I court
not his love, nor do I fear his hate. This
question will be decided by Q jury Of the
public. and all the partisan bribery cannot
cnauge their verdict, and I shall be satis-
fed with their decision.
