concern US
The gentleman from West Virginia wis
kind enough to compliment the republican con-
ferrees in the senate and By inference TO re-
frain from complimenting US in stating the
declaration that was made. 1t is curious how
two men witnessing the same scene put dtler-

scene which occurred was only part and parcel
OF the statement which was made. that. mas
much as these gentlemen had called Us in not
for the purpose of consultation. although that
was their svowal. but for the purpose
OF removing the reproach which had been
cast upon them by the greatest demo-
cratic newspaper. which is the represent

World OF course our republican eonferress
saw that we went there a mere matter of
form, and said: If you have made up your
mind TO disagree. why not like men do so. and
let US not waste our time upon immaterial
matters
But under the influence of that editorial,
they wasted another day before they brought
before the people Of this country their resist

But the gentleman from West Virginia. in
the course of his remarks. has been pleased 10

they treated them In q tone almost Of sadness
In regard to their willingness to agree. but
were held back by their bad partners the
Jorkinses of the senate. But. unfortunately,
/ In his congressional mood the gentleman from
West Virginia did not permit himself to give
particulars
He stated that the memosrs Of the senate

plause on the republican side-
The gentleman from West Virginia has
pledged this house-amid the uproarious ap-

senate, to break the letters which bind these

! no doubt that what the gentlemen says Is

sadness have no doubt that sorrow filed theil

/ this country ought to have. 1t Is not such a
/ bill as would do justice to its industries. but
/ the house bill was so bad that almost any
/ change In an upward direction would be better
But what was the trouble with these south

/ met with the interests and industries Of the
northern democratic conferrees-their fellow

which relates to the interests Of the industries

when a distinguished senator held out fol

not merely for his own interests but for the In

kind and that business would lose its vigoi
and life on account OF the destruction OF tbs
collar and cuff industry. he was representing
bis people, because this country and its pros
