The appropriation bill was temporarily
laid aside to permit Chandler to make a
speech on Recent Election Methods of the
Democratic Party. He took up the cleo
ton of a number of Democratic Senators.
Concerning the election of Murphy of New
York, he did not question its legislative
security, but declared it was brought about
by gerrymander and various forms of
electioneering larceny in which he indi
Gated that the then Governor and present
Senator from New York was concerned.
As to the election of Martin of Kansas,
Chandler said the Senator although a
Democrat, had made ''close connection"
with the Populist members of the Kansas
Legislature, and on becoming Senator,
had secured all the Democratic patrimony
which the state of Kansas receibed from
the Rational administration. The Popu-
lists of Kansas were thus deceived.
They cheated to get him." said Mr..
Chandler, land the results have been
what might have been expected"
Ae to the seat now occupied by Mr..
Roach of South Dakota, Mr.. Chandler
declared it would be filed by Repubi-
can if there had not been the basest ma
nipulation in which the speaker of the
House and his confederates had partci-
pated.
Mr.. Chandler denounced the TRAITORS"
of that transaction. He then took up the
investigation which the Senate began as
to the private record of Mr.. Roach and
read from it to show how action on the
investigation had been avoided.
''And 50, " said he, 1.-THE former cashier
of the Citizens National Bank of Wash
ington continues to occupy seat as a
Democratic Senator. !"
Mr. Roach sat at his desk throughout
the arraignment.
Mr.. Chandler then reviewed IN detail
the proceedings of the Kansas Legislature
in the election of Mr.. Martin, and declared
it made as bad record as was ever pre-
scented in electioneering frauds.
ale is still here, - said Mr.. Chandler,
"and will remain until next Monday,
when the Democratic Congress will come
TO an ignominious end. "
AS to Mr.. Kyle and Mr.. Allen, they had
acted with the Democrats of the Senate,
as Mr.. PETER had at times acted with the
Republicans, but Mr.. Chandler did not
criticise their action. 'But, he said,
sit made it possible with the unlawful
and fraudulent vote of Mr.. Martin and the
vote of Mr.. Roach, who should never have
remained in the Senate one day after the
facts of his life were known for the Dem
ocratic majority in the Senate to be main
tanned.
