German continusd-''We stand
today on a volcano; we have heard
a discussion as 10 starving Indians,
but take no note Of the fact. TIE
farmers Of the lscd are meeting and
resolving that there is Ganger and

them; the faces Of bankers and

not; il you persist in the course
marked out by the senator frcu, Sss-

sllay the panic or the menace TO the
commercial prosperity OF the coun-
try which had begun when the cleo
lions were declared in favor Of the
democratic party, the country hav-
ing been before that In q position Of
unexampled prosperity, why should
he not, after fair and proper state
ment Of his reasons Tor voting
against the election bill, let the
Senate vote upon IL? The election
bill was q measure whose sole pur-
pose was to submit TO the Judges Of
the Courts Of the United States,
against whose integrity and official
