Clty, 1T would not cause a perceptable in
huence. He had always understood the
gentleman was the wit and humorist OF the
House, but he was never convinced of it
until the gentleman delivered his speech on
the tariff. He remembered that when Ben
Butler "shoe-6ied" the gentleman into
silence, he believed he would forever cease
to be the funny man of Congress. But the
gentleman had evidently become jealous OF
Allen, OF Mississippi, and in a desperate
effort to regain his shattered reputation he
| had selected his (Woodburn's name
Tor humorous analysis. II the name we're
the same as that of the gentle
man from New York he would have
the good sense nevee to permit
it to be the subject of criticism on the floor
OF the House. He had read modern and
ancient and sacred and profane history
and he had failed to find that the name OF
Cox was ever associated with a decent or
conspicuous achievement. The Almighty
had never destiney to immortality man
bearing the name of Cox. He then quoted
Cox's remarks eulosistic OF the Celts and
deregatory Of the Saxons, and commented
upon the marvellous change which had
since he wrote 'The Buckeye Abroad"
From this book he quoted to show that |
in 1854 Mr.. Cox had held views deroga-
tory to the Celts, and he declared that the
Buckeye in Ohio was totally different from
the Buckeye when he had placed his carpet
bag in Tammany Hall. The gentleman
was DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. Wood
burne then went into an analysis of
Mr. Cox's middle name of Sulli-
van and denied that gentleman's
claim that he was descendant of
General Sullivan OF revolutionary fame In
conclusion, he replied to the charge in re
'ard to A. s. Hewitt having apologized to
jhe British Minister because the House
passed resolution OF inquiry as to the
rial OF American citizens by a British
ourt, but his time having expired, he
tated he would take the floor tomorrow
lpon the question OF privilege of address, ,
ng the House on the subject.
Cox said he had been advised by friends
III both sides OF the House to pay no at
ention to this nonsense. For many years
his book ''The Buckeye Abroad" has been J.
uoted against him on many subjects t
'hough a young man, he had in that book t
lndlcated, as every young American q
hould, the doctrine of our constitution as :;
o religious liberation. He had paid a ! !
isit to Ireland and had paid tribute to the L
eople of that country. The gentleman [
hould have made this attack upon t
i'm during the day of the debate On ;,
be tariff, The bullet had gone by
nd the gentleman did not know enough
t the time to know how he was shot. He
id not know it because he was an incarn- II
te suppressionist. Tint was Irish for "
man who did not tell the truth" He ad- "
lifted the gentlemans assertion that he a
as a better lawyer than he (Cox) was.

on, was, ''dig, dig, little mole, dig under h,
