II heard and saw some strange things few
days ago" said Tom johnson. 1T was in the
United States Senate. where I sat listening
with judge MCGUIRE. For some hours the
senior Senator from New York Applause and
hissesl made q speech that sounded like Ne
Kinley and all the other high proteotionists
But the strange thing was that at The close
there was not q ripple in the Senate not .
single hand clap.
mot Republican there cared to shake the
hand Of David Bennett Hill; not o Dsmooras
dared to shake his hand. II was an extraordi-
nary thing. Usually It 10 customary whom .
man makes q speech OF any length. for his AZ
sociatss to como around and clap him on the
shoulder and say; That was aigood effort u
yours. sir; good speech Hill didn't Gst
even that. He didn't deserve It. In the lower
House even the Dem oorats who are known 10
be tainted with protection did not agree with
Senator Hill. That speech Of his has dons

to the other side than any other one thing thAs
ever occurred.
