WARRINGTON, April Ex-senator Vest, who
yesterday In debate OH the Dakota bill dug up
the facts about tho great fraud OF 1875. sue
ceeAed better than he knew In agitating tho
Republicans. and particularly tho Presidential
candidates. He smoked Honest John Sherman
ont Of his hole. and that candidate was COM
relied to come forward to-day and in IN elab-
crate speech explain the events which led to
Hsyes's Inauguration and defend his Admins
tration. The exciting debate that followed be-
tween Sherman and Vest was quite une1 1pectod,
and all the more enjoyed by tho crowd that
fllsd tho galleries, and by the Senators them
selves. Mr.. Edmunds had secured the floor for
spsech in favor Of the admission OF Dakota.
He happened to be absent In the Supreme
Court to-day. however. 40 Candidate Sherman
took occasion to speak his little piece. AS he
PROCEEDED with labored efforts to prove that
Hayes was fairly elected the greatest interest
was manifested about tho chamber. Several
Ohio members came over from the House.
and Battle Flag Boutelle OF Maine sat
near tho Ohio Senator and looked up
references for him. Not a Senator left his
seat Candidate Hawley was kept busy pre-
