Washington, May Ex-senator Walsh,
OF Georgia, addressed the Senate this
AFTERNOON for a little more than an hour
and a half on the pending tariff bill His
speech was universally declared to be one
OF the best delivered in the Senate this
session. His manner Of delivery was i'm
pressive, his voice clear and resonant, his
enunciation distinct, and throughout the
chamber every word he uttered could be
plainly heard, although he spoke from the
back row of seats. When he had finished
Mr.. Walsh was warmly congratulated by
his colleagues.
Some of the expressions that fell from
the lips OF senators were as as follows:
Vice President Stevenson-I listened
with great pleasure to the very able and
excellent speech OF Senator Walsh this
morning
Senator Voorhees,, of Iudiana-It was an
admirable speech, teeming with good
points and full of arguments that cannot
be answered. 1t was well delivered and
l consider it one of the best that has been
delivered on this subject. His argument
ON the income tax was particularly strong
and meets my hearty approval.
! Ex-senator Irby, of South Carolina-It
was most excellent speech, 'andwill have
much weight in the consideration Of the
pending bill
Senator Smith, of New Jersey-Of
course, cannot say that l agree with
Mr. Walsh on the income tax part of his
| speech, but otherwise it was a good
| speech, and should be read with pleasure
! by the people of the south and the state
OF Georgia in particular.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina-A
most excellent speech, forcible and full
OF meaning. 1t will be largely read.
STRONG ON THE INCOME TAX.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama-It was
wise and practical speech, and Mr.
Walsh's presentation of the income tax
was the best have vet listened to. His
| arguments were unanswerable, and his
speech will do a world of good to the peo-
/
circulated, and am sure it will be.
Senator Brice, of Ohio-The speech of
Mr. Walsh was one of the most polished
| which 1t has been the pleasure of the
| Senate to hear this session. II was full
| of many good things, and the description
he gave of the industries of his state and
of the enterprise of the people of Georgia
will call attention to that state in the
! future. 1t was thoroughly democratic
and rfpr -
| upon the man, but upon the state that
| sent him here.
Senator Roach, of North Dakota-Mr.
Walsh replied effectually to the charge
that this bill is sectional, and showed
that the south is as much interested in
the work of tariff reform as the north, If
not more so. His arguments on the in
come tax proposition puts that matter be-
! fore the country in the strongest manner
possible, and in this respect the speech
exceeds anything yet delivered in the
| Senate.
WELL WORTH PERUsAL.
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina-A
very good speech; well worth the perusal
of every one interested in the questions of
! the day.
Senator Mills, of Texas did not hear
all of it, but what did hear, proved that
it was good tariff reform speech.

was good speech-one of the best
speeches, in fact, have heard from any

southern section of this country.

resources, 1t was a still finer presentation
of the pending measures.

admirable speech. / concur in every
word he uttered. He has done his coun-
try great service.
Senator Allen, of ofNebraska-The speech
was strong sound and certainly as a liter

to his Irish antecedents, he is great ora
tor.

think the speech strong one, and calcu-
lated to be of great good to our section of
the country. cannot speak in too strong
terms OF my admiration of Senator
Walsh's first effort
Senator Hill, of New Worthwhile I

tax yet his speech was able, eloquent
and well received.

well received, because it was well meant
and well delivered. He has convictions
on all public questions, and has the abil-
ity to express those convictions in such a
a way as delighted all who hear them.

strong democratic speech. 1t was espe-
cially pleasing on two points-hs clear
description of the progress of his state,

southern resources and was logical
throughout. His argument on the income
