And you have drawn me out, +" answer
ed Mr.. Hin, and before am through You
may conclude it might have been well not
to draw me out"

Chandler had made to Mr. Murphy, and
reviewed in detail the political changes of
New York state up to the election of Mr..

referred to-
Concerning a reference of Mr. Chandler,
Mr.. Hill declared that the Democratic ma
tional committee had taken no part what
ever in any of the these senatorial cleo
tons Even Republican newspapers had
not made such charge. and it remained
for Mr.. Chandler to sneak this nasty
charge before the public
Called Chandler a Hyena
Mr.. Hill turned his attention to Mr..
Chambers reference TO Mr.. Roach. He
(HilD could have forgiven the attack on
New York or the attack ON Honest John
Martin.
But, " said he, II can never forgive
the cruel, mean, contemplate malicious
attack on Senator Roach"
Mr.. Hill referred ironically to Mr.. Chand-
ler's statement that he spoke of the SUBJ
ject with regret. He would as soon expect
the hyena in bouncing on its victim to
pause with regret. And vet the New
Hampshire senator had "spewed out" this
miserable and contemplate attack He
had revamped an old anteancient charge,
outlawcd by the statute of limitations
charge never sustained in a court or by n
jury.

coming and going of Mr.. Roach from the
senate chamber-his plain and quiet hab.
its. And yet the malice Of the New Hamp-
shire senator had. "hyenalike. " asSailed

hypocrites" He referred to the fraud by
which the great Samuel Tildon had been
kept from the presidential chair Then
turning to Mr.. Chandler he added:

friend Chandler at that time in going to
Florida and stealing that state from tho

in the gallery at this point lasting half n
minute. The vice president raped vehe-
lnently for order and then warned the spec
tatOrs that the galleries would ho cleared
if the demonstration was repeated
Mr.. Martin of Kansas then replied to
Mr.. Chambers reference to him. Mr.. Mar
tin said no honest man had over question
cd his right to his scat. No man had ever
charged that he bought his seat in the
senate. But could the senator from New
Hampshire say as much? II one-half was
true that was charged against the senator
from New Hampshire instead of being
in the United States senate he should be
in the penitentiary." Instead of the eagles
that had represented the great state of
New Hampshire "a buzzard had taken
their place.
Mr.. Frye at once arose and called Mr.
Martin to order. Mr. Martin remained

said, he could never change his mind as
to their application to the senator from

imC. and the senate returned TO the appro-
priation bill, although there was n buzz OF
animated comment over the stirring scenes
Of the evening.
But Mr.. Chandler again took the floor
At / 80 O'Clock for another phase of the
subject.

vituperation used against him. II the
