a MOST SCATnING DENUNCIATION
CleveIand's Treatment OF the Senate De
clared to lie Infamous.
"Now, Mr.. President, my distin
guished friend, tie CT alrman OF thi:
committee, tie dis.ing uished senator
from Indiana, has had intimate con
neclion, Of course, with This measure
throughout. Therefore, | shall noI
ask bin today 10. give the country lie
benefit of his statement, so that all lie
truth IN connection with this matter
may 90 to he people. AS have sail,
sir, this is a most extraordinary pro
ceeding for deniofr,', eIec ed to The
hi1iest place III the government, 70
tladuce The senate of tie United States;
to blacken tile characters Of senators
who are az honorable as they dare Ia
be, who are as patriotic as they can
ever he, vho have done rs much 10
serve their party as the men who are
now tie beneticiaries ct your labor and
mine, who taunt and jeer at US before
the country as the advocates Of trust,
as being guilty Of G!shonor and lerhdy.
The Presiden. Roasted.
ut is time 10 speak. The limit of
endurance has Teen reached. The
senate owes it to itselr. Every senator
here who is part Of this democratic ma
iority owes 10 himself There lis no
power, no matter how great. in this
coun,ry,.not even the president with
his patronage, that would keep mes
lent longer under the charges, under the
imput;tio;, so foully made iroin such
a distinguished quarter. | lurl it7back
to him and say this treatment OF his
fellows is infamous. 1t is destructive
TO the government that men In high
positions should attempt 10 lower This
Lody, body conservative, consisting
OF IS great re, resenta!ives OF states. No
man can reach here by devious ways
and remain long. 1t is composed Of
men vino represent the best thought OF
the. country; ihen who have stood ana
halt!ed for tariff reform when the COW.
ards in higher places dared not show
their heads; men who, when another
place was overrnn had the courage
to stand and fight tyrnnt, and
stood here at the risk OF health. nj
the risk o. fortune, Of all that is dear,
an saved the liberties Of the country
when these towards could not he seen.
A Time for. Eiain speech.
I'VE wi!l. noi lie ,ra,iuced longer,
Mr.. Pres dent. The facts must come.
We have seen how this bill passed the
senate, hnw it only could pass the sen
ate. No man, whether in this place or
no matter what i'is POSITION
lnay be, who sty les himself democrat,
who believes in his ,arty,@ can change
materially this measure without DE-
leating il. Who dare take that re-
slo%s. .bi!!ty? can imagine that no
man will dare do il, unless he be con
sumed With vanity and desire 10 SCI;
his Judgment above that Of his fellows
or desires to keep an issue before the
people that he might ride into power
rather than give content and peace and
labor and prosl Gritty to his fellow couD-
trymen."
AS Senator Golln made each refer
encs to the president there was conn
motion in tie galleries which com
pelled the presiding officer to impose
constant cautions against 1urther
demo strations.

Gross Robbery.
AS TO the duty on coal, Senator Cor
man arg.le.i that 40 cents a ton was
purely a revenue duty. Free. coal, he
said, would give TO Il single foreign cor
peration all the coal ade from Boston
north. Free coal would not benefit
any man or oman in tlio country.
'Who demands it," he asked. "As
