IL any one doubts that Minister Willis
g an attitudinizer let him recall the clos
ing part of his address to President Dole
when he unfolded Mr.. Cleveland's policy
and requested the provisional government
to surrender it's power to the Queen. Ac-
cording to his own report this is what he
said:
And now, Mr.. President and gentlemen

the situation, and with the earnest hope
that your answer will be inspired by that

SOMETHING LIKE BRIBERY.

1t is gradually coming to the public that
the President was SO determined upon the
confirmation of Mr.. Hornblower and to de-
feat his adversary Hill that he took unusual
methods to attain that end. A prominent
Democratic Senator holding the chair
manship of one of the most important
committees. is authority for the statement
that the President sent for Democratic
Senators almost daily during the tendency
of the Hornblower nomination. The Presi-'
dent would send for Senator whose atti-
tude toward the confirmation of Mr. Horn
blower was uncertain. Upon arriving at
the White House the Senator would be
ushered into the Presidents private room
with unusual promptness. Mr.. Cleveland
would meet his visitor with the utmost
cordiality and invite him to take seat-a
rare courtesy under the present regime.
Then he would hear from the Presidents
lips a statement like the following:
'I asked you to CALL Senator, because
wish 10 consult with you about the removal
of certain officeholderS in your State and
appointment OF JIlelT SuCceSSOTS. WOulQ
you be kind enough to give me a list of
the names you have personally fndorsed
for these prospective appointments"
Thereupon the President, with portentous
solemnity, would take pencil and care
fully write down the list of his patriotic
Democratic constituents which the Sena-
tor, with cOuntenanCe beaming at this
Barmecidal feast, would give him
This ceremony over, the President would
ask the Senator: What do you think are
the prospects for the confirmation of Judge
fell how
colleague will vote? Have you reached a
decision as to how you will vote yourself
on this nomination." and other questions
of similar pointed nature.
So open and clumsy was that effort to
bargain for the defeat of Hill that several
Senator's who might have voted for the
insult to their integrity as well as to their
intelligence, and went over to the Hill
column. Even after Mr.. Hornblower was
rejected, the President undertook to pro-
cure a reconsideration in the hope that
Senators who did not vote might be in
duced to vote, and that others would
change their votes. but the man who voted
against confirmation. even by pair, could
not be found to make the motion.
These reports are not Republican dnven-
tions, but the revelations of leading Dem
ocratic Senatocs. They show that, to carry
his points, the President resorted to a
species of bribery or what would have been
bribery if the Senators had indicated a
purpose to vote for Mr.. Hornbower.
