WASHINGTON, July 21.-The senate
took up the consideration of the reports Of
the Payne committee. Several speeches
were made for and against an investigation.
When Mr.. Logan took the floor he stated
his reasons for Directing to an inquiry, and
then paid his respects to the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.
1t is. he said, very influential paper q
very powerful paper, nobody disputes that.
1t is owned and edited (and has been for
long time), by a man named Halstead He is
a gentleman of wealth and influence, and it
is easy for him to trample OF q creature like
me, because l have no aspiration in the
world beyond what l am. And inasmuch as
the state of Illinois does not always ask nv
friend Halstead what she shall do about her
senators, and as am not desiring to be
senator FROM Ohio, propose that
MY FRIEND HALsTED
snail have all the power ana influence and
shall exercise it against me in Ohio. I will
try to take care of myself at home Halsteea
es said, is an influential man. In the days
of Abraham Lincoln Halstead thought that
Lincoln's head ought to be chucked against
the wall and his brains knocked out, or some
thing like that. That was complimentary to
Lincoln. In 1858 Hastead thought Grant was
drunken old loa fer who ought to be kicked
out of society. That was complimentary to
Grant. After Grant was elected president
Halstead thought that he was a dirty, corrupt
old scoundrel, who was not to be trusted by
the people Of the country. So in 1872 Hal
stead supported Greedy for the presidency
against Grant, because Grant was not u man
to be trusted. L came to the senate here
almost accidentally and the first thing l knew
when l got here 1 picked up the
Cincinnati Commercial one day and
found five columns of that paper
charging my friend from Ohio, who presides
so honorably over this body with all sorts of
things. The article was written from WASH
ingtOn city and published with great he ad-
lines to show that our friend Sherman was
DIsHoNoRABLE, CORRUPT MAN,
who ought not to be trusted anywhere on ac-
count Of some kind of devilment that he had
with quaftermaSterS during the war. The
next thing that / found in the Cincinnati
Commercial was that James G.. Blaine was q
scoundrel and thief and villain, who
should be executed at the nearest lamp post.
did not believe it about Blaine. l did not
believe it about Sherman. did not believe
it about Grant and did not believe it about
Lincoln. 1 did not think that 1 was a big
enough fellow ever to be attacked by the
Cincinnati Commercial, and I never dreamed
of such thing. But soon found it pitch
ing in against some other people. Ut is not
necessary for me to mention names.) But
the other day picked it up and, to my utter
astonishment, found
MY NAME MENTIONED
in it in complimentary way in connection
with the names of two other senators who
are greater men than myself. Halstead is
the man who got up this case by first pub
fishing all these Donivan charges and he
says, speaking in a very kind manner Of the
senator from New York, the senator from
Colorado and myself, that all the arts of corr
rupted schemes and all the Establishments of
millions have been brought to bear upon u.s.
MIR. Logan here quoted from the Cincinnati
Gazette an article against himself and Sem
ators Evarts and Teller, and speaking OF Mr..
Evarts as representative of coal oil in the
senate and that as to Teller he wasn't worth
talking about. 1.-The presidential boom,' the
article continued, ''of two distinguished Re-
publican United States senators can now be
tenderly laid away to eternal rest" That
(said Mr.. Logan addressing Mr.. Evarts)
means yourself and the senator from Ohio, Mr..
Sherman. Laughter. 1t cannot alude ia
anybody else. There is nobody else spoken
of in that article who is an aspirant for an
Office of that kind. Laughter. Continuing I'd
quote from the artice) "Ohio Republicans will
see that their graves are kept green.'' Thanks
lsaid Mr.. Logan to the Ohio Republicans.
That is kind and generous of them. (Agair
quoting) 1.-The Standard Oil company does not
confine it's influence to the Democracy. The
Republican senators have been waited upon
in behalf of DOODLE" 1 read this to show how
far men will go to
DESTROY THEIR BRETHREN
who is as honorable as they are. Here is an
Mr.. George Fox had been on a visit to West
Virginia, and that just before he left there
Senator Camden, whose Intimate relations
to the Standard Oil company are well KNOWN
had telegraphed to prominent Democrats that
only six more votes were wanted to carry tho
senate, and that they were prepared to pay
$4,000 each for them. ':Now,'' said
Mr.. Logan, II say that any man
who will publish such an ins
famous SANDER and such villainous lie as
that upon honorable members of his own
party is unworthy of recognition anywhere,
1 ask Senator Camden to state whether that
dispatch is true or not. (Mr. Camden repeated
the statement which he had made in the sen<
ate two or three weeks ago when the dispatch
was first called to his attention, denouncing il
as malicious, false and without foundation.l
Here is another extract: "a large crowd OF
Republicans are talking of hanging Logan,
Evarts and Teller in effgy.'' do not know
whether they did or did not. But if they did,
burning us in effigy would not hurt US. He
had done his duty, and he would stand by
what he had done. Mr.. Teller followed in de-
Tense of the course taken by the committee
and held the floor at the hour of adjournment.
