Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-07-24

poets himself to make his own statement before the close of this discussion. There fore shall not ask him now to give tho country the benefit of his statement so that all the truth in connection with this matter may go to the people.
 nr. Cleveland Arraigned.
 ''As have said, sir. this is Q most ex- traordinary proceeding for Democrat elected to the highest plaoe In the govern mont, with fellow Democrats in another high place. where they have the right to speak and legislate generally, to john with the commune to traduce tho senate of tho United States, to blacken tho characters of senators who arc as honorable as they dare be, who are as patriotic as they ever can be, who have done as much to servo tho party as tho men who are now the beneflciaries of your labor and mino, to taunt md jeer us before the country as the advocates of trusts, as being guilty of dishonor and porfidy.
 'It is time to speak. Tho limit of en- duranco has been reached The senate owes it to itsslf Every senator hero who is part of this Democratic majority owes 1t to himself.
 There Is no power, no matter how great, in this country-the president with his patronage-that would keep me silent longer under the charges. under tho impu- tations so foully made from such distin- guished quarters. hurl 1t back to him and say that this treatment of his fellows is infamous.
 Ut Is destructive to the government that men In high position should attempt to ower this body-a body conservative, consisting of sS great representatives of states. No man can reach here by devious ways and stay long. It is composed of men who represent the best thought of the country. men who have stood and bat tied for tariff reform when the towards in higher places dared not show their heads lapplauso in the galleriesl; men who, when another place was ovcrrun and they had not the courage to stand and fight a tyrant, stood hero at the risk of health, at the risk of fortune of all that Is dear, and saved the liberties of the country when those towards could not be seen.
 "we will not be traduccd longer, Mir President. The facts must come. "Wc have seen how this bill passed tho senate. how only 1t could pass the senate No man, whether in this or in any other place, no matter what his position may be, | who styles himself n Democrat, who be- lieves in his party, can change materially | this measure without defeating 1t. Who dare take that responsibilityg Consumed With Vanity. "I can imagine no man who could do it unless he was consumed with vanity and desired to set his judgment above that of his fellows or a desir0 to keep an | issue before the people that he might ride in the power rather than give content and peace and labor and prosperity to his fcl- low countrymcn."
 Again roverting to President Cleveland, | he said
 | MT President, I speak of tho presi- dent of the United States with nothing | but the kindcst feelings. l have never in my life had anything but the kindest feel | ings for him. l believe he is one of the | most remarkable men ever in public life | in the last 90 years in any civilized cOun- | try on the face of the globe. To elect him Il tho first time he was n candidate gave | my constant, unremitting labor. l stood | by him when hc had but few who had the | moral courage to walk through the slime and filth and uphold him.
 II supported his nomination for tho second time, though not agreeing with | the policy of his declarations in the mes | sage of 1887, and l stood by my friend, the senator from Ohio (Mr. Brico), who
 gave to the nomination MT. Cleveland l his substance and his time and ,cvery-
 thing that n man can give to servo great
 cause I stood with him from the begin
 ming of the campaign to tho end.
 II was not in favor of Mir. Clcveland's S
 nomination again in 1892 as n matter of
 policy, but I, with the distinguished sen
 ator from Ohio (Mr. Bricc) and the dis
 tinguished senator from New York (Mr.
 HilD, who carried the battle flag in that
 state, and tho senator from North Caro-
 lima (Ransom)-wc never permitted any
 thing to stop our efforts until We placed
 him in this high station.
 We did it with an admiration for thu | man, with belief that he would serve hl: n m Ill {.
 o<der that we might have Democratic con
 trol in this government"
 | In conclusion Mir. German said: What
 Is our duty What did we agree to do We placod in your han. Mir. Chairman
 and you Democrats, the power to say wha we ought to do after careful and unfettcr sd oonfercnce. No such confidence on tho
 part of all our party has over been given to mon as we gave to you.
 Let this degree of confidence continue. Let this bin 20 back to a conference on
 the part Of tho two houses. These thun- der clouds will roll by. These flashes of lightning. these exhibitions Of temper. all

 "Go into the next conference" said he l turning to Mir. Voorhccs and Mir. Vest - Say to them that in Ohio, New Jersey 0 Indiana and West Virginia, which dc r mand the senate notifications. there arr n more manufacturing concerns than in al . the states that ask these radical changes
 If the senate amendments arc not accept 3 cd, this bill Is defeated. You have hcart Ienough, senators. already to know that l s is this bill or nothing"
