See in another column
Mr.. GOODING: Mr.. Speaker, take great
Measure in secoHding the nomination of
Daniel W. VOORHEES, for reelection to the
United States Senate for the next six years.
Personally, the relations between Senator
Voorhees, and myself are most cordial and
of the most friendly character. But my
pleasure in voting for him arises more par
ticulsrlY from the fact that his sympathies
and his public acts and votes are ever on
the side OF the masses of the people whom rs
SO faithfully served.
Mr.. GORDON: / should feel had hardly
fulfilled my duties as the representative OF
Putnam County il | failed to second this
nomination. 1t was in Putnam County that
perhaps the test days OF the distinguished
citizen were spent 1t vas here that the
people knew hiru IN his early boThood- 1t
was at Asbury University that be acquired
bis education. II vas hero that ne gave evi-
dence of those splendid abilities which have
given him such renown. 1t was here
that he found the companion OF his life
whom believe has been Joy and solace to
him in his last days. II was here that his
early years were spent and his con, now a
dele gate in Congress, was born. The people
OF Putnam County knew him not only as 8
college student, but they have delighted t,
listen TO his oratory. 1t is but fitting there
fore, that should second his nomination
All of the powers of this distip euished cit
zen are of senatorial type. He ia one OF
the few men fitted for this exalted position.
Mr.. Speaker, / second the nomination OF
Daniel w. Voorhees,.
Mr.. TAYLOR: | don't desire to engage
the attention of the House for any length of
time. Mr. voorhees, was distinguished more
perhaps at an early age for speech he de.
livered IN Virginia, in behalf of o person
named Cook, than any speech he ever de-
livered OF non.partisan character. When
cast my vote for Mr.. Voorhees, it will be the
have never regretted the act. My first OF
forts were in behalf of that gallant old MAJ
wno sits TO the left of Mr.. Jewett (Mr. Nc
Donsld). Mr.. Mcdonald at TIA. time de-
featsd Mr.. VOORHEES,. | Bever regretted that
vote and i never will. Mr.. voorhees, then
was young. Ii was right proper and fitting
that be should abide his time. Bot have
voted for him eince then and Will vole for
him now | have no doubt that that
vote has never been misplaced. Mr.. Voor-
hees may have made some mistakes, but in
the essen tisl principles OF Democracy hs has
always $1,000 Tor Inc rfgQt against wrong ana
oppression. | therefore say that Indiana
and her GODS will never have cause for regret
for any seton which be may take in behalf
of bis State or in behalf of his country. l
more than second the nomination of Mr.
Daniel w. voorhees,
Mr.. MeMICHAEL: | had the distinguished
honor to cast my vote for the gentleman Tit
ting at the Speakers side, and have never
regretted casting that vote; and / hope TO
see him as q counsellor in the council of the
incoming administration. j hsartily second
the nomination of Daniel w. Voorhees, to-
day, and do but voice the opinion of the
Democratic constituency, as well as that 81
many Republicans who cast their vote Tor
me, that / should cast my vote for him.
Mr.. COPELAND: I have the honor or be-
half of the Republicans of Indiana to place
in nomination a. their candidate for United
States Senator Governor Albert g. Porter.
Indiana has been honored by many Illus
trious sons, some of whom she has crowned
with her choicest honors but it is to the
splendid achievements OF the genius of her
own SONS, born on her own soil, educated in
