5in The senate to-day on the basis OF
Mr., Elalcs resolution asserting the
,,,oot benefits resulting to the people OF

I'm y il concerned; stating that it was
tt .m 90 as 10 suit the candidatei and
Jsraring the issue between tho two
Isrlie, had thus been made up, and the
GSbt would be waged on that issue I'M
H., II decided by the gnfrages Of the people
next November.
MI Mr. Vest, ON the part Of the Democra.
~ accepted the challenge, and had
"; 20 say MS to the operation OF the
TcEinIey net in increasing the cost OF
GryeoodS and hardware, in reducing
~srcs, and in causing strikes and labor
troubles. He also commented upon the
choice OF tho new chairman OF the Re-
nublican National committee as being in
fine with the policy Of encouraging mo-
"y Burjn. Mr.. Vests speech on the Me-
yinIev bill he alluded to tho existing
nor troubles ut CQrnegie's Homestead
Iron Works near Pittsburgh. And yet,
he mid, that gentleman (Alr, Caraegie)
who had tClegraphcd from his castle in
SrotIand, congratulations 10 President
Harrison on his denomination, had
arrayed his police and armed and equip
ned them to put down his own laborers
and workmcn and had surrounded mis-
establishment with an eleven foot wall.
For what purpose2 To protect himself
AGAINST the people OF tho United States
under this Ubiquitous gystom, and now
the newspapers OF the country Mr..
Vest said we're full Of rumors OF war
between Mr. Carnegie's company and
rs own laborers. Continuing, Mr.. Vest
said the Republican party had placed
A; the head OF its national committee an
other OF tho same brood Of politicians,
Mr. Campbell. he said, was tool OF
monopoly. He was tho ablest and
most plant fundamentally in the
hands oil Armour in order to rob tho
people, and especially the cattle raiaers
OF the west.
Mr.. Hale said: AS to tho selection
OF the chairman OF the Republican ma
tiona! committee, tho senator from Mis-
sonri has sought to bring reproach on
Mr. Campbell because OF his association
as counsel with great monopolies and
great interests. Has it gone out OF tho
mind OF the senator that that great
convention OF his in Chicago was mar
shallcd and dominated and controlled
from beginning to end by that great
leader Of the Cleveland hosts, ex-Secre-
tary Whitney? Does he claim that Mr..
Whitney is in no way associated or'con-
uected with any great INTEREST,"
MIR, Vest-Dees the senator say that
lie is?
Mr.. Hale-The greatest OF all the
trusts. the Standard Oil company, is the
interest that controlled the Chicago
convention.
Mr.. Vest-I ask the senator categor-
ically whether he charges that Mr..
Whitney has any connection whatever
with the Standard Oil company.
Mr.. Hale-I do not make any charge
against Mr.. Whitney.
Mr.. Vest-Then it is utterly unfair
and unparliamentary to make IN tnsin-
uation in which senator is unwilling
to put in SO many words. Ideny it. |
denyit on Mr.. Whitney's own state
ment. He has no interest whatever in
the Standard OIL Company. His broth
er-in-law is stakeholder, but have
yet to learn that man is responsible
for his brother-in-law.
Mr.. Hale-Do you say, in terms, that
Mr.. Campbell has dollar OF interest in
the great trust which you have referred
to?
Mr.. vest-I affirm here, on my per-
sonal knowledge, that Mr.. Campbell is
and has been for years the paid lawyer
Of P. D. Armour, attending to all his
law business; that he followed my beef
committee to st. Louis and Chicago, ad-
vising Mr.. Armour, and that he is the
man who instituted the movement on
the part OF Mr.. Armour to refuse to
obey tho subpoena OF the senate.
Mr.. Hale-I suppose that Mr.. Camp
bell, who Is a very able lawyer, has
clients in many domains OF business.
He is none the worse for that did
not assert that ex.secretary Whitney
has any interest in the Standard Oil
company. His denial of that is enough
for me. But you cannot mako the
country believe that tho great Standard
Oil trust did not have q controlling hand
and voice in shaping the resolutions OF
