exOnerate me from the disrhaTano ettlef

Is my duty to the State whose ambos,

OF the Senate or Of any part If j, mr.
suppose that because he may think Io
ought to have great influence, | should
thereupOn subordinate myself like a

to conceal myself. The last man in
Alabama, the poorest niger in Ala.

right at my hands. as much as the
President OF the United States is-aDd

In q short time afterwards Mr.. Nor

Rawley Rep., Conn. y as to the De-

Hawley remarking that a man who
had got the Democratic nomination for
the presidency on three severa. O.
casi0ns must needs be a Democrat.

ton that he loved Grover Cleveland
for the enemies he had made, includ.
ing, Of course, the Senator from Con.
necticut and all that class Of eminent
statesmen and politicians. Now, if the
Democracy of the United States should
conclude thati it did not love himf0r the
friends he has made, Cleveland would
be in a bad way, and I should be sorry,
But he is not making friends On the
other side of the chamber He is only
making temporary allies, under a brief
coalition and for a temporary purpose
