The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-09-06
NR. PENcE ROAsTg MR, BYNUM.

that has occurred since the present
special session of congress assembled
took place in the house on August "A,
when Mr.. Pence, Of Colorado, took
occasion to scourge Mr.. Bynum, Of
Indiana, for his sudden change Of
front upon the silver question. Mr..
Pence's remarks are worthy of repro
duction in full and they are here sp-
pended as follows:
Mr.. PenCs-Mr. Speaker, under the Ave
minute rule / have but word OK two TO
say. I know that tho house has been al
ready too kind to me. But, raised as was
in the Indiana school, and allied az ! am
by matrimony with the Kentucky school,
could not let even this short opportunity
pass by without expressing my opinions and
feelings respecting the utteranOes Of certain
of the Hoosier and Kentucky statesmen on
this floor. do not desire TO take the time
of the house in any discussion Of the merits
of this question. am q little bit dis
couraged, and my people are; and we have
reason to be 30.
My wife is a Kentuoki&n and We have
good many Kentucky friends in Denver,
and each and all Of them gave me
brief words of encouragement when 1
started away, and when they on the
last day before / left home told me
that the New York democrats may 60 back
ON silver and the silver platform, ConneCd-
out democrats may 60 back on silver and
the silver platform, Maryland democrats
may spew the Chicago declarations out Of
their mouths az mere Catohwords and
glittering generalitieS, but you will find one
good warm table where yOu can sit down
in Washington, the good old "MOCre cary BIZ
metallic Hosiery" which will be open and
every example of it's hospitality will be
spread before you.
Mr.. Speaker, have tried at the door and
at the dining room door and have been
turned away from that good old inn, hungry
az was when I applied for admission and
sustenance and when upon inquiry sought
TO find what means this change, am d.
reCted TO step out upon the sidewalk and
look up at the old sign, and there learned
that the old hospitable inn is now being
run on the European plan. Laughter and
applause,
Mr.. Speaker, they told me that it would
be warm reception, because in 1891-not
Eack yonder before the war, when the moon
was larger than it has been since hosSilitieS
oeased-but in 1891 the gentleman, who has
been the chief executive Of Kentucky, had
been the glad recipient Of vote Of thanks
by a democratic convention in Kentucky,
which, in addition TO declaring for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, had also
voted an express resolution Of thanks to
him and his colleagues, for their almost
unanimous vote for free coinage in con-
gress.
have autographed my old Kentucky
frisnd-or my wife has-that We have been
fooled. Laughter.
Mr.. Speaker, that, however, does not 80
much concern me, because my best reool-
leotions pertain in no wise TO the "dark and
bloody ground" south of the Ohio river. 4
was born and bred in the school Of Voor-
hees, of Cooper Of Indiana, Of Bynum of In
dianapolis; and right we'll they taught me
my lessons, and set me upon course con-
cerning which shall not turn my face at
the suggestion Of pie from the admins
tration. Laughter.
II il were my purpose, Mr.. Speaker,
standing here as a representative Of the
Peoples party
