The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-06-09

may be asked how he could consistent
vote for Mr.. Blaine, as it is elaine
that he did? What becomes of the " cor
science plea" in that case? Verify
some of the statements made in defenc
of the senator's conduct in 1884 ar
more damaging than the attacks of hi
opponents.
The receipts of the Congressional
Record last year were only 81 900, Will
the cost of printing it was 1925 900
But who will say that it is not wortl
all it costs when it prints such matte
as the following, which we extract from
the speech of Mr.. McAdoo on the cleo
margarine bill:
II we are going to protect the stomachs
the people by depicting their pockets let u
take up the subject of sausages. [Laughte
and applause.] Let us take up the weirt
and mysterious subject of hash. Renewed
laughter. Millions of free Americans to
day in millions of boarding houses through
out the land are being supplied WITH ant
place implicit confidence in, a compound
under the denomination of hash, which
science dares not engage and which no mar
KNOWS the contents Of Laughter and ap{
plause. Let us have heavy tax, saw
and let us compel clearinghouse keepersI
to file in the city hall of every town or cityI
an inventory of the component parts of this|
most remarkable American dish. Laughter
and applause.
Here is another sample of congress
sional eloquence from the debate on
the oleomargarine bill. 1t is from the
speech of Mr.. McKenna:
see vast possibilities of profit in the sug-
gestion for oleomargarine men. Tint it a
delicate pink, perfume 1t with the scent of
the rose or the violet, or of a. the flowers
that bloom in the spring." and bulls grease
will be idealized into taurine ointment, and
as such can be used to anoint the lip of
beauty and soften the cheek of members of
congress. Laughter.] Distinguished by
color it may be, and, started out, will take its
chances in the dispute of tastes, and il any,
body then prefers this article of the slaughter
pen and an apothecary shop, this product
dug from charnel-house and run through
a chemical laboratory, carrion of death and
the grave, to pure butter, so be it. Are we
not Americans? De gustibus non est diSputdn-
dim. [Great laughter. That, Mr.. Chair
man, is Latin renewed laughter], but it
does not mean anything more than the old
woman said when she kissed the cow
[Great laughter and applause.]
On, that wedding: President Cleve-
land and Miss Frank Folsom were mar
ried in the blue room of the White
House on Wednesday evening last by
Rev. DR.. Sunderland. The guests num-
bered but twenty-seven. The floral
display was superb. The BRIDES dress
was of corded ivory satin, with train
nearly five yards in length, and elabo-
rately trimmed. The bridal veil of
white silk tulle was over six yards in
length. The Marine Band played the
wedding march. The wedding feast
consisted of croquettes, game, cold
meats, salads, ices, creams and cham
payne. The wedding cake was served
in boxes of white satin, lace lined.
After leaving the White House the
married pair went in private car to
Deer Park, summer resort on the
Baltimore q Ohio railway, to remain
about ten days. A number of reporters
are watching the premises, but have
made no startling discoveries.
