Mr. HAINEs then paid his respects to Mr.. WEST
of Mclean, saying he was reminded of q
verse of poetry:
The man who blows the cornet


verse of poetry:
The man who blows the cornet
Thinks that he is some.
But, Lord, he amt a patchin'
To the fellow who beats the drum.
EGreat laughter. Mr.. WEST was a horn
blower and he[ HAINEs) was alarmed when the
bugle sounded. The members of the COM
mittee on investigation had recommended
enough men to Eli the pay roll. If the speaker
had appointed more men than necessary it was
because he had been importuned so to do by
just such men as the members of the COM
mittee. The report eensured the speaker for
what he had done for the makers of the doc
ument.
When Mr.. HAINEs had concluded his de-
Tense Judge Dill proceeded to show up the
false prophet in his true colors, brief
synopsis of the speech being reported in the
Chicago Times:
Judge DILL said he had done much toward
making Mr.. HAINEs the speaker, and he be-
lieved the Democratic party had disgraced it
self in making political hermaphrodi tea
political harlot-the speaker of the house.
Applause. The duties of the investigation
were very unpleasant. 1t had developed the
fact that without warrant of law Mr.. HAINEs
had increased the expenses of the general
assembly 500 per diem. He had not asked
Mr.. HAINEs to do an Illegal act or make an il
legal appointment, and anybody who said to
the contrary was liar and a scoundrel. The
signing of petitions for appointment did not
justify Mr.HA in making unlawful desig-
nations to office. There was no warrant of
authority for the appointment, of forty-one
ianitors. If the Democratic party was re-
sponsible for the waste of public money it
must stand it. He wanted to tell the Demo-
Gratis that the expenses for the first eighty
days of the general assembly were S11, 000in
excess of those of the Thirty-third assembly
for the same time. If the Democrats persisted
in this course and permitted these Wasteful
expenditures of money, the party at the next
general election would go under to the tune
of 1000 majority. Applause from the Re-
publcans. The party should repudiate the
so-called leadership of man who is neither
fish nor fowl, beast, bird nor bat, Applause.
The report must be voted up or down with a
roll call.
On roll call by vote of SO to 46 the
house adopted the report Of the committee,
but Delegate CRAFTS, who is partisan of
HAINEs, was in the chair at the time, and
declared that the report was defeated,
whereupon a scene followed that would
have disgraced New Jersey legislature.
During the tumult that followed Speaker
HAINEs took the chair, and rapping the
gavel, declared the house adjourned, while
an imprOmptu Glee club struck up Good
Bye, My Lover, Goodbye" Delegate
LINEGAR, however, seemed to be master
of the situation, for, taking the chair and
occupying it as temporary speaker, cOolly
Informed the clerk that if he did not pro-
coed with his duties his Office would be de-
clared vacant and successor elected. This
announcement brought the sulking clerical
official to terms, and business proceeded.
When Speaker HAINEs found out that the
legislature was going along without him, he
slipped back into the house and reoccupied
the chair, and at length was compelled to
submit to the modification of announcing
the passage of the resolution which adopted
the report of the special committee and
contained censure upon himself. 1t is
fortunate for the United States that there
is but one Speaker HAINEs in the country.
