an aspirant for an office of that kind.
Laughter.
Continuing to quote from the artiele)
''oHIo REPUBLICANS WILL SEE THAT
THEIR GRAVES ARE KEPT GREEN"
Thanks, " said Mr. Logan, ''toth Ohio Re
publicans. That is kind and generous of
them" again quoting from the article)
''The Standard Oil Company does not con-
fine its influence to the Democratic party.
Three Republican Senators have been
waited upon in behalf of Doodle" | read
this to show how far men will go to de-
stroy their brethren who are as hon
Orable as they are. Here Is another
article from the Commercial Gazette stating
that Mr. George Fox had been on 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 prOmi-
nent Democrats that only six more votes
were wanted to carry the Senate, and that
they were prepared TO pay $50, 600 each for
them. Now" said Logan, II say that
any man who will publish such an infam-
Gus slander and such villainOus lie as
that upon honorable members of his own
party Is
UNWORTHY OF RECOGNITION ANYWHERE.
| ask Senator Camden to state whether
that dispatch is true or not"
Mr.. Camden repeated the statement
which he had made in the Senate two or
three weeks ago, when the dispatch was
first called TO his attention, denOuncing 1t
Us malicious, false and without the slight
est shadow of foundation.
''IIere is another extract: A large crowd
of Republicans are talking of hanging
Logan, EvartS and Teller in effigy.' do
not know whether they did or not. Per
haps they did after they read this article.
But if they did burn us i'll eiiigy it would
not hurt us. There are divers and other
articles upon the Presidential question
which | do not want to read because ii
might possibly have some influence on the
aspirations OF some gentlemen. For l
notice whenever they speak OF killing
some one oil they always put up some 9th
or fellow : poll. Sol will not mention names
lest ii might have some deleteriouS effect
upon somebody. In the Commercial Gazette
of the 27th of June | find this extract;
Three Senator's voted with Coal Oil. The
Ohio members are increased with LOgan's
act and say that it kills him forever as to
his chances for the Presidency
''LoRDr
he exclaimed, Il did not know ever had
any chances for the Presidency. Then in
the Commercial gazette of the !Sth is this
sentence: Who will mourn for Logan
now Laughter.l Certainly not the
Commercial GGzette.'
lie would now read in order to show how
much he vas in favor with certain people in
Ohio, Or rather with certain politicians
there letter which he had received from
the Lieutenant Governor OF the State. lie
read the letter, dated June 26, iii which
the writer stated that the assertion was not
too broad that his LOgln's) vote would bc
diSapprOved 10y every Republican i'll Ohio
who was not purchaser or hired defender
of coal OIL and also by a large majority of
! the Democratic party of the State.
In conclusion, Mr.. Logan said Mr.. Hal
stead could not bully these three members
Of the committee lie would not say he
had been able to bully any Of them, but
he knew that these men whom HalStcad
attempted to bully he could not bully, and
he need not try it. He Logan would sink
in his place before he would be driven

which would be ungcnerOus, unklnd and
unlawful, in order merely that he might
he the pet of somebody for month or two
and then he kicked afterwards. He had
been actuated in this matternOt by impulse
nor by being aggrieved, not by attacks,
hut by calm and deliberate examination
of the testimony and of the law in the case.
He had done his duty and would stand by
it, for his action was right and just and
proper. [Applause on the floor and in the
gallery.
Mr.. Teller was proceeding to analyze the
testimony in the case, hut gave way to 4
motion to adjourn, holding the floor to
conclude his remarks tomorrow.
