Chicago Tribune Special e
Late in tho afternoon Boutelle got tho
floor and, after calling attention TO tho
familiar scenes and grouping, by tho
Democratic brethren about Uncle vii.
liam Holman yesterday, slid the situa.
ton reminded him of Dotheboya Hall.
when Mrs. Squeers gathers tho pupils
Of tho academy around her, administer.
Ing to each IN turn copious doses oil
birthstone and treaclc, thus warding Of
diaeasc and saving provisions. He
incctiously likened Uncle William Hol.
man TO Mrs. Squeers; Dickeraon, OF
Kentucky, was his Pecksniif, and
breckenridge, OF Kentucky, with his
"heaven bless you all my children, "
was his Chadbaud. This was enough
to sot tho house roaring. Boutelle kept
right on.
"Unclo William Holman" he said,
"was with his long spoon pouring trea.
clio and birthstone or retrenchment and
reform down tho throats OF his Demo.
cratic brethren. True, they squirmed
some, but thoy had to down tho dose
out OF respect to the old lady,"
Then he took u swipo ut Gen. Joe
Wheeler, who, ho said, alighted upon
the back OF any great question as II with
y sudden bound and rode around like
tho ocular demonstration OF tho Darwin
ian theory OIL tho back Of trick Gle.
plant at country circus. Wheeier's
efforts at oratory, he said, produced tho
impression on him Us II something, he
did not know what, had disarranged
Whcelcr's power to speak. He began
like calliope on Mississippi steamer
aud wound up with noise like that
produced by sand-pipo laboring with
IN acute attack Of pneumonia.
Wheeler came into the hall while
Doutelle was speaking and busted him
self trying to find out what all tho laugh
ter was about, but Boutello kept on.
The wailings Of distress uttered by the
Democrats, he said, were universal and
heartrcnding
The only exception to tho rule i'll this
particular was in the case OF woman,
tho wife Of Governor Flower Of New
York. When she took possession Of the
executive mansion Mt Albany she
told the reporter OF n New York paper
that the house was in bad condition
after its occupancy by the bachelor
governor who preceded her husband.
Boutcllc said there were cigar stumps
in the sugar bowls and poker chips in
the library, whilo pictures OF opera
bouGc artists and sky dancers were
hung up so they obscured and hid from
view portraits OF Dewitt Clinton and
other distinguished New Workers. The
speaker then went on to say that Mrs.
Flower declared she was IN American
and believed in American manuiac-
lures. Everything person wanted
could be bought in New York, and she
was going down to New York to buy
the furnishings for the house. The
United States was good enough for her.
Boutellc closed hisspecch by referring
to Uncle William Holman's treatment
OF the appropriations as something in
the nature OF nickel in the slot ma
chine, where one puts in nickel and
pulls out IN appropriation. The only
difference, he said, between the similc
and the reality was that Uncle William
Holman was trying to cheat the public
and the owners Of the machine by try
ing to make the affair work with u lead
nickel.
