was opposed by Senator Staats, who made
his maiden speech in fighting against the re-
record He sent to the desk and had read a
biographical sketch of Mr.. O'Neill. Senator
Voorhees, said that O'NeiIl whined like a
whipped cur Senator Hinchliffe declared
that it was shame to throw cut of office a
man with such record as O'Neill.

appeal to the Republicans not to make me-
morable the closing hours of the session by
