VoICING REPUBLICAN SENTIMENTS.
Mr. Whipple. of Cattaraugus County, made
speech IN reply 10 Mr.. Fish, which eXcellently
represented the sentiments of the majority OF the
Republican Assemblymen the subject of the
Worlds Fair bill He said
Some one asked me II Warner Miller is Tam RAW
Hall man. l not discussing Mr.. Miller. but l say
when a question is presented this has been Dy the
Senate Of this State Endorsed By the Republicans o. the
tntire State exception OF few soroh"ads. It i'
right for the Republican majority In the Assembly 10 sun
port It, Such a spectacle have never witnessed. The
leader great in the House, standing uToa
the floor in the body where has stand adj
dressing the Democratic side Why 50 FAR l know
there been time the history q the Rcpuo'
can party that IL did appreciate an honest man who
stood BY faith and not by some petty personal feeling
This struggle whether this commission shail be
fair and square represented by majority Of tho two
OF the Legislature whether 1t shall b" partisan
upon other side. That Is all there is 70 IT, Mr.
Depew and Mr.. Miller and others went TO washington %

speeches that contained sixty E'puhl ans OFT
Of 1903 honest statement, As u should nave
been and as they believed It be. We find. the
trsry, examined that there are only in The
uttermost fortysx. I say to the Republicans OF these
two houses that their duty % make that statement good
and that the complexion OF The commission shall De
what they represent g. It u fair proposition,
and they should be supported In it, II
has dragged along 70 this OF proceeding. We
have had two committees they appointed
under practice OF this House under practice governing
all legislative bodies one then appointed. IL
ported upon compromise. and This House rejected IT,
The having been appointed reported and unanimously
asked the appointment Of another committee That prop"
stiOn put the Hous" and agreed upon, and the
Speaker appointed the committee. That right II
was the only thing do the last he's blood IN
the Fair bill. WHY Because II II was made up Of the
vomplexion Of the Mr. Fish there would
be another disagreement certainly IN favor Of the
Fair. / am in favor Of agreement in the matter,
in favor Of >urendering right Of the Roplb-
lcan party Of the alabsorbing institution Tam.
many Hall would not surrender this right % Tsnnany
Hall for existence. This committee should be ap-
ponted as the Speaker names H. II there IS any
for agreement and favorable result upon this
matter IL from that KIND Of coum'ttc" This
action by my friend Fish results in just this proposition
having been willing by his conduct 70 slowly torture the
nfe out OF this Fair bill and he shk that re-
spOnsibnity. II Is just alive; It's heart Just tlrob'
say ne simply tortured ~ o. this point There can
be other proposition other faf construction am
against amended committee suggested By Mr.. Fish,
because It is dscourtcous Speaker, because u can
do no good the Speaker, in his privilege ~
appoint that committee he believed TO be right,
and l propose for one, e. stand by him.
TIE TWO NOTIONS THAT CLASSIFIED.

itself should name all the members Of the Confer
ence Committee, taking it out Of the Speaker 5
hands. He moved that there should be appointed
as the members of the Conference Committee As
mblymen Gibbs. Boag, Blumcnthal, Greene and

amendment that the Speaker should appoint the
Conference Committee, and in support Of his mo-
