tory Of the Markham BILL 1t deded Eckford to show up
the press bills OF the Representative their claim OF
24OO subscribers 1t gave history of the Drs work
and gave the history Of Donnellys betrayas of the
cause.
The Dr. closed at 1890, having lost ten minutes in
the attempt to shut him of, speaking one hour and
twenty minutes. The motion of Tom Meighen during
the fuss, that DR.. Fish should have 10 minutes
now got to close the debate It is rule of pars-
mentary law that the closing shall only be short
but shall bring nothing into the discussion Don
nelly spoke one hour and thirty minutes (making alto
gether two hours and As minutes nf easault5, and
drove out like herd of swine army of new state
ments and averments, more disastrous to our public
and private character but not word of evidence as
to the Dr. receiving republican money.
When he closed it was IL oclock-he talked against
time to kill of reply As he had talked nearly three
hours against DR.. Fish, unustly the Dr. went to the
headquarters room and got the Senate Com. report
with some of Donnellys Doodle bust ess officially re-
corded-and proposed to read the three aiayts else
where published in this issue Also to deny certain lies
like that OF his running 10000 ahead of bis ticket
The fusion electors 10000 behind the ticket, but
abusing Dr. Fish with the most terrific personal abuse
on the Markham Bill inamy G. G Goodenow turned to
A. L; Stoughton, who sat behind him, and asked
Stoughton, who wrote that article-did Fish?
"No sir, ! wrote it.''
"Dld Fish see it?'
"No sir, he was in Washington.
And the clackers and reptan following of the obese
liar howled themselves hoarse the abuse of Dr.
Fish, Donnely did not dare to defend his vote for the
mortgageswinde of the Union Pacific Railroad but he
turned his defense against charge OF helping to
build the railroad. And he said then II am proud of
my record upon the matter charged against mel am
proud Of it'll"

proud Of that record to pass the damnabe and cursed
bill which robbed of hundred millions at one swoop
and left millions upon millions Of bonds to pay in
terest upon-a crime degradation, against which all
alliances and all reformers have resolved in bitterness
and sorrowl And this griffin of hypocrisy says he is
proud of voting for it.
When he closed his vilifying harangue Dr. Fish
arose and claimed that he had right to close the de-
bate and refer to the new propositions made ii p
