cOnStrue that remark as a reDuke tt
either house of Congress. If it ha(
been 80 intended, it would have beer
very unworthy of the President or
such an occasion. 1t might just a;
well be supplemented 10y a statement
or passionate views on public ques
tlOns. That would be quite as repre-
hensive as to say that the Senate OF
House could be influenced by the like
motives. Having read the portion OF
the article imparting to himself, per
sonal and political enmity toward
| Cleveland, he said: 81 am very happy
to state that between the President and
| myself there exists the most cordial
personal relations. They have always
existed, and | hope they ever will; for
| esteem and prize him very highly In
all personal respects and in his public
career. | think that the history OF Mr.

some OF the highest properties Of the
American CHI 4racter. | differ with Mr..
Cleveland in some of his views OF pup.

Mr. Morgan said he felt justified III say

paper played the part simply OF il mis-.
chief maker.
Mr.. Voorhees, hal, also. something
to say in regard to tn" President. lie
Was very glad to hear the remarks Of
the Senator from Alabama III regard
To the assault which had been III tde
upon the Pr"sidelL fpr the last UwD
days. lie 1tSirr,i 10 account for the
attitude Of silence observed on the
Democratic side of the CnamOer in the
fac Of the assault. 1t was that it had
not been thought necessary TO say a
slngIe word III the defense of the Pres,
ldent from the tim" he was born in
New jersey up TO the present h ,ur
| OD his Slie OF Jhe chamber. aud he had
| reason To believe on the other side of
the cltmD1r, IN ali uv"r the country,
| MIR. Clry"landS defense ha been fully
made by the American people them
selves. lllS great and powerful career
dlSirmei all Such assaults as had been
made upon hlm Whatever Of taull
the Senator from Nevada might have
found IN Mr.. Clev"l md's career, the
American people had not seen it III
Senator from Nevada might have i'll
dulgpd in the American people had no.
shared that criticism with him. No
body was perfect. Human nature wa
lnlirm. The lOftiest characters were
not infaliOle. But he veutured to 81,
that in American history the career 0
Grover Cleveland, his character, hi
achievements, his honor, his patriotism
and his aOliltio5 would stand in til
foremost line, i'll spite Of all the as
J saultS which had been mate. WhAthe
Senators differed with Mr. CleVelan
or agreed with him, nobody tailed [
, recognize his SLa!Wart and powerful
character and his high integrity. II
hoped that This little tribute would b
taken as sufficient to account for tn
TACT that the Democratic side Of th
chamber would not feel called upon t
: enter upon amy defense of the Pres
:. dent unless something far more impor
ttnt was charged against him than tla
been charged up to this time.
