you dare"
II will" replied Mr.. Palmer. "When-
ever the senator brings forward
charge against any individual in the
senate, l will vote for an investiga-
tion."
"When I make a criminal charge
against particular individual" said
MIR. Stewart. contemptuously, 1.-THE SEN
ator from Illinois will allow it to be in
vestigated, but he will not protect the
wholesale charges. He wants lie to
make criminal charge against SEN

Mr.. Palmer wanted to ask another
question, but Mr.. Stewart declined to
be interrupted by that kind of stuff. l
Will not make personal charges when
the air is full of them"
'They are very windy" Mr.. Palmer
managed to insert.
"Yes, they are very windy" repeated
Mr.. Stewart. "They blow down upon a
good many senators and members"

and territories; that claimed to direct
the legislation of congress, and whose
voice had been heard last week on the
east front of the capitol rebuking the
senators.
Mr.. Morgan rose to personal eXpla-
nation. referring to the article in the
New York Times of today that no hon
orable Democrat could listen to that
part of Senator Stewards speech crti-
cising the president and continue to act
with him IN obstruction to repeal, "un-
less, as we fear is the case with Senator
Morgan, he is so implacable and un-
reasonable an enemy of the president
that he subordinateS the highest ques-
tion of privilege and public interest to
the qualification OF pubic revenge"
There was an imputation, said Mr..
Morgan, that he was the enemy. per-
and. of course, that the president recip-
rocated that feeling. He was very
happy to state that between the presi-
ident and himself there existed the most
cordial personal relations. They had
always existed, and he hoped they ever
would.
The history of Mr.. Cleveland iIlustra-

only. In fact, he very much doubted
whether the differences between the
president and himself were of any very
material character, if he understood
what really were the presidents opn-
ions and hopes in respect to the present
imbroglio. With that statement Mr..
Morgan thought he was entirely justi-
fed in saying that the New York Times
in this particular article played the part
simply OF
Observation-Disclosures
There was no occasion for that paper
to take him up and bring him and the
president together in this Irritating and
unfortunate attitude with respect to
each other which, if unexplained, the
country might regard as truthful,
whereas, it was simply and maliciously
false.
Mr.. Voorhees, then rose and said:
Il desire to supplement with a few
remarks what the senator from Alabama
has said. was very glad to hear the
remarks of the senatar from Alabama
in regard to the assault which has been
made upon the president OF the United
States for the last two days. l desire
simply to account for the total silence
on this side of the chamber in the face
of such all assault by stating that it has
not been thought necessary to say
single word in defense of Grover Cleve-
land from the time he was born
in New Jersey, as stated by the senator
from Nevada, until the present hour.
On this side of the chamber, and have
reason to believe on the other side, aud
all over the country, his defense has
been fully made by the American peo-
pie themselves. and 1 intend that no
criticism shall appertain to his friends
here because of their silence. l say this
because we feel that his great and
powerful career disarms all such as
saults as have been made upon him.
NV Whatever the senator from Nevada
(Mr. StewarD may nave found of fault
in his career, the American people have
not seen it in that way; whatever of
criticism the senator from Nevada may
have indulged in. the American people
have not shared that criticism of him.
NoDOuy is perfect, Human nature
is intirm, the loftiest characters are not
infallible. but l venture to say that In
American history the career of Grover
Cleveland, his character. his achieve
ments, his honor, his patriotism and his
ability will stand with the foremost in
spite of all the assaults that may be
made
whether we differ from him or agree
with him, nobody fails to recognize his
stalwart and powerful character, both
of mind and of high integrity.
II hope, Mr.. President, that this little
tribute may be taken as sufficient to &C
count for the fact that we will not feel
called upon to enter into any defense of
the president Of the United States un-
less something far more important may
be charged against him than has been
up to the present time"
