Mr.. Vest-No wonder Mr.. Carnegie send
his congratulations to Gen. Harrison. He !
} tho recipient OF the bounty OF this lpro
t~eotivel system. And l am glad that the.
have put at the head OF their national com
mittee another one Of che same brood o
politicians. know Mr.. Campbell we'll. TN
now chairman Of the republican nationa
committee, II ia a psoviaential dispersal
tion, AZ the preachers say, that no has beef
put there. He is the regular attorney, anc
nothing else. Of Y. ID. Armour. He haunteo
my meat committee, a. the senator ftom
Texas (Mr. Coke) knows, from one end Of
the country to the other, representing
Armour and his beef monopoly at Chicago
He is the man who advised Armour and his
pals at Chicago to defy the senate Of the
United States and to refuse to obey our
subpnnas until I was forced to come back
10 Warrington In order TO avail myself OF
the statute we have here for compulsory
process.
This man ID nothing but a tool Of mon
opoly. or all the men ! met in that in-
v~estigation he was the most persistent and
the ablest instrument in the hands OF
Armour and his gang in order to rob the
people, aud especially the cattle growers OF
the west. or course, he is at the head OF
your committee. He is the sort of man to
do she work you have before you. Why
should he not DO there-Armour's money
and his talent for manipulation against the
American people and the consumers OF this
country? We accept the Issue and, God
willing, We will stay by il until not n
democrat can be found who will not admit
that it 10 tho great issue. the overwhelming
one to be determined by the SURFACES OF
the people in next November. If beaten
the ground. We will carry it into the next
canvass because " are right--right upon
the broad basis of equality in every citizen
of this country, and that no man shall be
taxed in order to put money in the pocket
of his nsiRhbor.
Mr.. Hale-The senator has attempted to
show thas the management Of the republl-
can party is in the hands of great moneyed
and trust interests, and has taken occasion
to comment upon the selection whioh has
lately been made by the republican national
committee of its head and chief during the
campaign, and he has sought to bring re-
proach upon that gentleman because of his
association as counsel with great monopo-
lies and great trusts. Has it gone out of
the mind of the senator from Missouri that
that great convention of his in Chicago was
m%arshaled and dominated and controlled
from beginning to close by that great Gap
tain Of the Cleveland hosts. ex-Secretary
Whitney-whom we all remember with
pleasure and satisfaction for our pleasant
association with him-and does the senator
claim that his leader in that great conven-
hon was not backed up by any combination
or money trust?
Mr.. Vest-Does the senator say he is?
Mr.. Hale-What is the popular belief?
That the greatest Of all trusts. the Standard
Oil trust, is the interest that controlled the
Chicago convention.
Mr.. Vest-Mr. President. ! very seldom
interrupt senators. The senator processes
to be a friend of Secretary Whitney, and I
want to ask him now catseorically does he
charge that Nj. Whitney has any onnec
ton whatever with the Standard Oil COM
pauv?
Nh. Hale-1 did not make any charge
against Mr.. Whitney.
Mr.. Vest-Then, Mr.. President, it is ut
terly unfair and supplementary to make
an insinuation which the senator is unwill-
ing to put in so nan words. I deny it. /
deny it upon MI, Whitney's " statement
to me personally that he has no interest
whatever in the staedard Oil company, but
that his brother in-law is a stakeholder. l
have yet to learn that a man is responsible
for his brother-in-law
Mr.. Hale-T want to ask the senator this
question: Does he say or affirm here that
MI. Campbell has q dollars interest in any
of the great trusts to which the senator has
referred?
Mr.. Vest-I affirm here on my personal
acknowledgement I Am entirely responsible
for it in every way-that Mr. Camp
bell is the paid lawyer. and has been for
years, Of p. D. Armour, attending to ell his
law business; that it engrosses all his time;
that he followed my beef committee to St.
Louis and was at Chicago advising NJ, Ar
mour, and hat he is the man who %instigated
the movements OF the part of Armour and
his confederates in !Chioago when they de-
fed the subpoena of the United States
senate and refused to appear before one of
its committees.
Mr.. Hale-That 10 all that the senator
claims, that Mr.. Campbell is the attorney
of the firm to whom he refers. l suppose
Mr.. Cam bell is a very good lawyer, a very
able lawyer; he has shown himself to Re
such, and has clients in many branches of
business, but be is non the worse for that.
do not claim, and do not assert or be-
lisye that ex-Secretary Whitney has any in
terest in tho Standard Oil His
denial of that is enough for me and for any
senator or any gentleman who knows him.
