his deepest indignation. and he let out q
howl that is ringing yet in the woods
surrounding his native city.
The Times says "Senator Gorman's
defense of his treachery to the Demo
cratic party in relation to the tariff bill
provoked Senator Higgins of Delaware
10 an exhibition Of satire which amused
the Senate as we'll as adorned tale of
treason. The Delawarian ridiculed the
senatorial pretender from Maryland for
assuming TO speak ex-cathedra for the
Democratic party while the record
shows that the President, the Chicago
convention, the House of Representa-
tiyes and finally the leading newspapers
OF the country are in opposition to his
views.
senator German pretends that in his
treachery to the party he was serving
tine cause he betrayed. In this he as
sumes that he is wiser than the multi
tude. But his bubble of pretense was
punctured by Senator Higgins as it will
be broken by the Democratic people.
Ills statement that the bill which he has
forced upon the Democratic party as a
hlghwayman forces his demands upon
the wayfarer, is Democratic measure.

ohenslvely protuberant that it is made

And yet watch the Transformation
into cuckoo. This defiant moulder of
public opinion fiercely denounces Cor
mans "treachery" and then announces
that his paper will support that
Ireachery. Like its party which be-

hen proceeds to formulate protective

Us party to submit and aid the comple-
