tor David Bennett Hill, OF New York.
The New York Senator spoke almost
two hours TO breathIess galleries and
= full Senate.
Several times the presiding officer
was unable TO restrain the enthusiasm
his remarks evoked, notaciy when Mr..
Hill declared that personal cousidera-
tions would not prevent him from de-
Tending the Presiden, wuen he was un-
justly attacked
He defended Mr.. Cleve.and's letter,
his right TO send it and the sentiments
IL contained and made 4 strong point
against his adversaries when he pointed
out that they criticised the President
for siding with the House when they
admitted that they had used all their
influence 90 induce him 10 interDose Ia

tariff reform.

he concluded, and each word rang out
like "a hammer on an anvil, Il can say

lowed Mr.. Hill with a brief speech, also
gave to the country his share OF the
