PRINTED But REVISED.
Kennedy's Speech on Quay Appears in the
"Record"-The Changes.

WASHINGTON, September 13.-The
speech of Representative Kennedy, of
Ohio, attacking the Senate and Senator
Quay, which created a sensation when
delivered ten days ago, appeared in the
Congressional Record this morning, after
having been revised by Mr.. Kennedy.
The speech as it appears in the govern
ment's official publication of the pro-
cccdingS of Congress, differs from the
speech he originally delivered in the
elimination of certain passages, which
it has been asserted were contrary to
parliamentary rules and usagcs. The
revised speech is hardly less Sc
we're than as originally delivered, but
it is believed by the Congressman from
Ohio 10 now be in conformity with the
rules of the House governing criticisms
in debate of the other branch Of the
the Legislature. The first part of the
speech which was devoted to the Of
fetal election bell is unchanged. Coming
down to the attack on Senator Quay, a
slight change is made. Then. after de-
claring that Ohio has twice within a
decade been diSgraced by Senators
chosen, simply because they were
able to outbid other contcs-
tantS." There is this sentence:
Surely the block of Senatorial
courtesy has been used to hide the infa-
my and the corruption which has dis
honored and diSgraced a body which
was once the proudeSt in the land all
the other parts alluding to Senatorial
courtesy having been omitted The
only changes made, so far as Senator
Quay is concerned, consist in the elSion
of the word criminal" where it occurs
in two places, and the omission of all
mention of Senator Quay by name.
Where il was suggested in the original
speech that Judas when he hanged him
self had left IAN example for the Mat
QuayS that is well worthy of their imi-
tation, there is substituted therefor the
following: "An example well worthy of
imitation"
The sentence. The Republican party
cannot afford To follow the lead OF a
branded criminal" is struck ont alto
gether, and latter on. where il was said:
"He stands convicted criminal before
the bar Of public opinion" change is
made so rs TO read. He stands con-
yictcd before the bar of public opinion.

Az IOWA SENSATION.
The Prohibition Attorney Protects the .
Saloon-Kc Kcepers.

'dt'hli-htfptlNs
DrBrorr. To-. September l3.-.Iudgc
Hey, one of the Democratic judges of the
District Court sprung a sensation from the
bench this morning which has frightened
the nearly 900 Dubuque saloOn-kccpcrs
half 10 death. About forty saloon inlunc-
tion cases have just been submitted on the
depositions Of one Mercer, spy imported
from Des M0ines. and the oral testimony
OF Capt Adams, prohibition attorney.
Judge Frey then called Capt Adams, who
has made thousands Of dollars yearly out Of
saloon-keepers, before him and asked {;
How many inlunctions have you OBJ
tanned against salOon-keepers
About $50"
why have not those $50 saloons been
closed. -
"They appealed to the Supreme Court.
or evadcd the law in some other way"
Judge Ney went on 10 state that il is
generally understood that there was an
agreement between Capt Adams and the
Personal Liberty League by which cases
were settled by the payment OF his at
torney' fee. and that these injunction cases
We're only Instituted by Capt. Adams Tor
the money in them He would no
longer allow his Court TO be pros
tituted TO the use of illegal backmail.
Press and pulpit were declalm!ng against
the officers of Dubuque county for not en-
forcing the law when in reality 10 was the
fault of the prohibition attorney that the
saloons were not closed. Judge Ncy stated
that he should issue no more inIuncuons
until he was satisfied that they were
started for the purpose Of closing the
saloons.
Great excitement is abroad among the
saloon-keepers of the city, and Judge Nye,
who is a candidate for reelection, will be
LARGELY knitted.
