Badly Lett"
CONCORD, n. H., Feb. 25-Nearly the
entire afternoon in the house yesterday
was occupied by United States Senator
Elect Gallinger, of Concord. and H. w.
Green, of Hopkinton, in replying, under
question of personal privilege, to the allie
cations made by United States Senator
Chandler, in an editorial in the columns
of the paper, The Concord Monitor, that
these gentlemen and other Republicans
had entered into series of bargains with
Hon. Frank Jones, Hon. C. A Sinclaire.
and other influential Democrats, inimical
to the Republicans of the state. Each gem
tleman replied at length. denying plainly
and unequivocally every one of the allega-
lions.
Applied Epithets to Chandler
Mr.. Green at times became very ami
mated, and during these periods he applied
the epithets eur" coward" and "assas-
sin of character" to Senator Chandler
Mr.. Gallinger appealed to Mr.. Sulloway,
of Manchester, to state whether Mr. Chan
dler's allegations were true, that he Gal
linger) was responsible for the attacks
made upon him tChandler) in the RepuS-
lican senatorial caucus of 1888 Sullowav
who was then member, said that Mr..
Gallinger was not responsible, and Sena-
tor Chandler was an unmtigated liar
Is 1t Malice Maniaf
Pillsbury, of Derry (Rep), offered the
following: Resolved. That this house has
read with unreasonable surprise in the
columns of a newspaper of extensive cir
culation, whose chief owner is Hon. Will
lam f. Chandler, senator of the United
States from this commonwealth, charges
of the most offensive character against
certain prominent members of This body
who have been especially honored
by us and by the people of the
state; charges which, if true, would in
fiict lasting disgrace upon this body, ir-
respective of party, and leave a stain upon
the fair name of our state We therefore
feel called upon to characterize the utter
ances of said paper of the 10th inst, above
referred to, as either the inventions of
malice or the maniacal rawlings OF one
whose reason seems to be dethroned. I6
Is therefore the sense of this house that
Senator Chandler ought to tender to this
Legislature either an apology or full re-
traction of the charges"
The Resolution Tabled.
Angel, Rep, of Derry said: Before
this resolution is submitted 1 should like
to know whether William E. Chandler is
sick, insane, or diseased. l judge from
what has been said this afternoon that he
is insane, and if he is, why notice these
things?" On motion of Lyman of Exc
ter, the resolution was tabled During
these extraordinary proceedings the gal
leries and Hobbies of the house were
thronged with spectators
