his opinion OF an attempt to compel

Senator Teller was followed by Sem
aior Sherman in au earnest speech in
favor of investigation. He rose, h.
said, 10 perform che most disggreeable
duty OF his life. During oil the time
he had been in this body he had never
had occasion to bring before the SEN
ate the politics. &, of Ohio rs distin-
guished from national politics. In
performing what he regarded public
duty 10 the people OF Ohio, and par
ticularly to the Republican people of
Ohio, he would do it in no spirit of
unkindness to his colleague. He had
known him, or had known OF him,
since he had arrived at the aye of man
hood. He had always known him IA
a respected and honorsd citizen of
Cleveland, regarded well by his neigh
boIs, and he waa glad to say that in
this investigation, and in performing
this duty, ne should not have occasion
to arrNign his colleague in the slight
est degree. He believed that whatever
corruption had occurred in he pro-
cess OF the election, no knowledge Of
such corruption WAS brought tn his
colleague. He believed also (sin-
Gerely believed), that if the inveetiga.
ton were gHnted, his colleagues honor
would not be touched by the teeti-
mony that would be produced, He
wished to say also, TO the Senator's
from Illinois, New York and Colorado,
Senators Logon, Evarts and Taller),

with the criticisms made npon these
honoied Senators. He did not think
that any OF the newspaper ex raCts

stating that up 10 thqt time politics
there hal been practically pure. He
gave IN account OF the Highland
House Convention held in Cincinnati
in August, 1889, when he said organ
ized fraud had been introduced for the
first time in Ohio politics. That
movement, he said, which WIS or
