JUD's APOLOGY.
SENATOR LAMOURE: 1 desire that
due honor nay be rendered to the GENTLE
man whom l had the honor to help to elect
to the United States senate two years ago,
and at the same time l desire to make an
apology for what l did to the intelligent
people of this state-people who evidently
knew better what should be lone than |
myslef. AS an illustration of my short
sightedness | will call the attention of the
senate to what occurred here yesterday.
When l get a thin gin my mind it is mar d
to get it out till [ am convinced that L am
wrong. When l joined that little band Of
republicans who saw fit to elect to the
United States senate a gentleman-at that
time l knew nothing about his having been
connected with a bank. | did not know at
that time that he was susceptible of being
changed from tn e convictions he had in
his mind on the great questions OF finance.
l did not know at that time he was able to
change his mind during the time that would
elapse i'll going from his home at Larimore
to Washington. In asking this senate to
honor the last victim Of that trade which
the country 1 understood 1 made at
the time, l desire to call atten-
ton to the last head that fell in
the basket-Hon. Timothy o'Brlen. and 1
ask that the courtesies of the floor be ex-
tended to him.
SENATOR WHITE: l move that the
apologies of the gentleman from Pembina
be accepted.
Which motion prevailed.
SENATOR BURKE: The apology was
made to the intelligent people of the state
and not to the legislature.
SENATOR GREGORY: 1t was made at
least to the Intelligent portion of the state,
and that includes the republicans.
