The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-03-07
ubo Mr.. Chandler holds, was

S2OOOO to cover tne EXPENSES m
in contesting the seat of Senator nlartll
of Kansas, and to the latter slooo e3-
nenses in the contest. The only amend
ment 10 the legislative bill agreed to was
that increasing from $20OUOO to SZo0,-
600 the amount in force in the supervls-
ing architects Office to prepare plans
etc. for carrying into effect various APP
pronriations for public buildings.
After a short executive session re-
cess was taken until 8 p. m.
RAND progress was made on the legls-
lative and judicial appropriation bllis
at the night session. ~,
The appropriation for the Utah conven-
ton was temporarily laid aside to per-
nit Mr.. Chandler to make speech on
''recent election methods of the Democrat
ic party"
Concerning the election of Mr.. Muir
phy Dem, n. " Mr.. Chandler did not
auestion the legislative regularity but de-
clared that it was brought about by ger
rymander and various forms of cleo
Pioneering larceny, and minated that
the then governor and present senator
from New York was concerned therein.
AS to the election of Mr.. Martin Dem,
Kan.) Mr.. Chandler said the senator,
although a Democrat, had made 'close
connection" with the Populist members
of the Kansas legislature, and on be-
coming a senator had assumed all Dem
ocratic patronage which the state of
Kansas received from the administra-
ton. The people of Kansas were thus s;
deceived. They cheated to get him"
said Mr.. Chandler, "and the results have
been what might have been expected.
As to the seat now occupied by Mr.
Rocah, Dem., n. d. Mr.. Chandler de-
clared it would be filled by Rpqblican
if there had not been the barest manip-
ulatiOn, in which the speaker of the house
and his cOnfederates had participated.
This speaker had subsequently come to
Washington, an autOcrat from his home,
asking an office from Cleveland, and not
getting it had gone no one knew where,
dshonOred and despised.
He then took up the investigation
which the senate began as to the private
record of Mr.. Roach, and read from the
Congressional Record to show how action
on the investigation had been avoided.
"And So" said Mr.. Chandler, "the
former cashier Of the Citizens National
Bank of Washington continues to occupy
n seat rs a Democratic senator"
Mr.. Roach sat at his desk throughout
the severe arraignment.
Mr.. Morgan sought to interpose a ques-
ton as to the regularity of Mr.. Chand~
ler's speech.
The vice president held it to be in order.
Mr.. COckrell endeavored to break the
force of the speech by remarking: There
is no reason why such harmful speech
should not proceed"
Resuming, Mr.. Chandler referred to
Mr.. Morgan's point of order and said he
would assure the Alabama senator he did
not intend to touch upon Alabama cleo
ttIt. t,l- L.
time"
"You have already touched upon them
through your mouthpicce," responded Mr..
Morgan, land | have treated your at
tacks with contempt and disdain."
Mr. Hill was on his feet when Mr.
Chandler closed. He said the senators
had witnessed an extraordinary specta-
Gle. The senator from New Hampshire
had been proceeding through the cOur,
tesy of the senate. He evidently had
something on his stomach" and it was
necessary to get rid of the BILE" but
the spectacle the senator had presented
tonight INDUCING in coarse statements
against brother scnators-does him no
good and will do his party no good, said
Mr.. Hill, vehemently.
Mr.. Hill was about take up Mr.. Chand-
ler's speech in detail, when Mr.. Cockrell
interrupted, saying that he hoped the sen.
ator from New York would not take w
the speech of Mr.. Chandler otherwise
than as joke.
Mr.. Chandler then said II hope the
senator will proceed. | have been trying
for two years to draw him out on New
York election methods"
And you have drawn me out" an
swered Mr.. Hill, land before | am
through you may conclude that it would
have been well not to have drawn me out ,
MIR. Hill turned his attention to Mr.
Chambers reference to Mr.. Roach. He
lIiilD could have forgiven the attack on
New York or the attack of Honest John
Martin but" said he, II can never for
give the cruel, mean, contemplate, ma
licious attack on Senator Roach" Mr.
Hill referred ironically to Mr.. Chandler
statement that he spoke Of he subject
with regret. He would as soon expect the
hyena, in bouncing on its victims, to pause
with regret. Mr.. Hill drew Il striking pic
ture of the coming and going of Mr.. Roacl
from the senate chamber his plain anC
quiet habits. And yet the malice of tn,
New Hampshire had, hyena-like, assailet
this poor man. Mr.. Hill said he "hatet
hypocrites."
Mr. Martin of Kansas then replied t.
Mr.. Chandler. Mr.. Martin said no homes
man had ever questioned his right to hi'
seat. No man had ever charged that h,
bought his seat in the senate, but coulC
the senator from New Hampshire say Il,
much? If one-half was true that wa!
charged against the senator from New
Hampshire, instead of being in the United
States senate, he should be in the pen.
Instead of the eagles that had repre-
scented the great state of New Hampshir,
Il buzzard had taken their places"
Mr.. Frye called Mr.. Martin to order
