/ yehemence that to assail Grover Cleve-
/ land was to strike at the republic; that 70

zen, and to stab him was to sting the heart
! OF every true American.
In conclusion he withdrew his motion of
/ Friday to strike out the additional dis
| eliminating duty of one-e!ghth Of u cent

motion to insist upon the senate amend

He did this, he said, because he was q
strict party man and desired to be In &C
cord with his democratic brethren. And he
| expressed the hope that out of the confer
ence would come a measure far better than
that which had already passed the senate
All the conferees, he said, knew the 9enti-
ment of the senate on the sugar question,
and he was sure that that sentiment would
have it's true and proper weight.
Mr.. Villas followed by Mr. Stewart,
