,ois' amendment was finally ruled out on

speech on the recent election HleAhodS "a Il
the democratic party" He said the elec-
tion was brought about by gerrymander |
and various forms of ecctioneering lar |
ceny in which he intimated that the then
governor and the present senator from
New York was concerned.
As to the election of Martin of Kansas,
Chandler said the senator had made
"close connection" with tho populist
members of tho Kansas legislature and,
becoming senator, had secured oil the
democratic patrimony which the state OF
Kansas received from the national ad-
ministration. The populists of Kansas
were thus deceived.
"They cheated to get him." said Chan
dler, "and the results have been what
might have been expected" As TO the
seat of Roach of North Dakota, Chandler
declared il would be filed by republican
ii there had not been the basest manipu-
lation in which the speaker of the house
and his confederates had participated.
Chandler denounced the 'traitors" of
that transaction. He then took up the
investigation which the senate began as
to tho private character of Roach and
read from it to show how action on the
| investigation had been avoided.
"And so." said he, 1.-THE former cashire

| they had acted with the democrats, as
| PETER had at times acted with the repub-
licans, but Chandler did not criticize their
actions. But he said it made it possible
with the unlawful and fraudulent vote of
| Martin and the vote of Roach, who should
never have remained in the senate a day
after the facts of his life were known, for
the democratic majority of the senate to
be maintained.
Hill was Immediately on his feet whom
Chandler finished. Hc SAID the senator
ought, at this closing hour of the senate
not stir up partisan bitterness. "But the
spectacle the senator has presented to-
night, indulging in the coarsest attempts
against a brother senator will do his
party no good" said Hill. Hin turned his
attention to Chandler's reference to
Roach. He could have forgiven the at
tack on Honest John Martin" But"
said he, II cannot forgive tho cruel,
mean, contemplate, malicious attack on
Roach" Hill referred to Chandler's
statement that he spoke of this subject
with regret. He would as soon expect n
hycna, in pouncing on its victim, to pause
with regret. And yet the New Hampshire
senator had "spewed outn this miserable
and contemplate attack. He had re-
vamped an old charge, outlawcd
by tho statute of limitations,
n charge never sustained by court
or Jury. Hill drew striking
picture of Roach in the chamber, his plain
and quiet habits. "And yot the malice of
the New Hampshire senator had, hyena.
ike, asaiIed this man" Hill said he hated
"hypocrites." He referred to "the fraud
