drew 1t and moved to add 10 paragraph

Mr.. Chandler. in one of his extremely
bitter speeches, recalled Mr.. Aliens state
! ment OF half an hour ago, that he mad
not yet made up his mind what his final
vote on the blll would be. Ihe Senator
now wanted free lumber and, Of course,
he would get II, because that was the
understanding lie (Chandler) did not
expect TO prevent this transaction that
was now going on, but he did have a
curiosity TO know whether the bargain
was yet completed; whether the trdnsac-
| ton might be considered as closed, and
whether the Senator from Nebraska had
finally concluded how he would vote
finally on the bill? or had he notified
the oIher side OF the chamber that he had
not vet concluded what his final vote
would be. and that he would move to
pat something else mot produced in Ne
braska) on the free list, ana would have
TO get that as consideration for the
vote he was TO give? lie (Chandler) was
! anxious TO know if the Senator from
Nebraska was entirely fOreclosed by the
other side Of the chamber
Mr.. Allen desired to say in as polite
language as he could use 10 the Senator
from New Hampshire, that his statement
or insinuatlOn that there was any bar
gain between himself and any Senator
IN charge of the Dill was entirely untrue
and he was inclined to think that the
Senator knew it TO be untrue al the
time he made il. He {Allen) had made
no bargain and proposed 10 make no
bargains, and he proposed 20 vote As
ne saw fit
After some further personalities be-
tween Messrs. Allen and Chandler. Mr.
Aliens amendment was adOpted-yeas, IS;
