FRIENDS OF REPEAL

on this side, and that the senator from
Maryland has been marShaling the
members on that side who favor repeal,
with view to agreeing upon some fur
ther and more rigorous measure which
shall compel the senate to sit longer
hours, in order, if possible, by that
method to force vote. | shall be very
glad if [ am misinfOrmed."
II have been member of this body
for over twelve years." said Mr.. Cor
man. 81 have been connected with it
from the time when was twelve years
of age, but this is the first instance in
that time that | have known a senator,
either through himself or his agents, to
listen at committee room doors, or from
information received from eaveSdrOp-
perS tell the senate the private confer

of
THE PRESIDENT,
Mr.. German said he was not the mouth
piece of the president. His patronage
know nothing OF. l care nothing for
it. L neither have it nor wish it; but
there is no man who has been more
careful in using the great power of his
office than the present president. If he
| may be criticised at all, it would be
proper to say that he has been so care
ful of it that he has scarcely done his
party justice" Applause i'll the gal
lerles.
Mr.. German, in conclusion, said it
should be borne i'll mind that if any in
| jury were done any section it could be
remedied. He hoped the debate would
| proceed without personalities, and said
| he occupied position where he could
| at any time meet this question or any
| like it with desire to do justice to all
| interests.
Mr.. Aldrich (Rep., R. L. denied that
he at any time had undertaken in any
conference to represent anybody but
himself. He intended hereafter, speak
ing upon his responsibility as senator.
and as the representative of a state, to
cooperate with the senator from Mary
land or any senator who would save the
senate from further humiliation, if DOS
sible, in the eyes of the American
people.
Mr.. Wolcott said he had carefully abb
stained from the slightest reflection by
inuendo or otherwise upon the senator
from Maryland. His disclaimer was
made while that senator was speaking,
and should have been sufficient. 1t was
not because OF supposed imputation
of improper motives that the senator was
sensitive; that which ranked was not
the
PRETENDED SENTIMENT
which the senator from Maryland may
have had that he was miSQuOted or might
be miSiudged because OF his vote upon
the seating of the senators from the
three states referred to. 1t appeared to
be because he (hr. WolcotU had char
acteriZed him as one of a steering COM
mittee.
''He was quick to recognize that he
was meant" continued Mr.. Wolcott. Il
named him not by name. He has named
himself. If he is the Steerer, he ought
not to object to reference to it from
this side.
II should not rise to reply to his in
situations. were it not that he has seen
fit TO suggest that had listened at COM
mittee room DOORS"
~ did not say that" replied Mr.. Cor
man. II said if he had taken his in
formation from eavesdr oppers who
were at committee room DOORS"
Mr.. Walcott said the senator from
Maryland knew that he would scorn
dishonorabe methods. He character
lied as untrue the statement that the
resolution was introduced to consume
time.
"When the senator from Maryland
asks US to conduct this debate without
feeling, when he asks us to yield 4
quick and speedy vote, and the senator
from Rhode Island, the great state
which he represents, having protected
in this congress every petty Yankee no
ton that has asked protection, saws
he will take every means to secure a
speedy vote, so that the country shall
not be further humiliated; when the
country is overwhelmed with suffering.
when the people are sitting by poverty
stricken hearthstones. looking starva-
