About the most thoroughly disliked
man in the Senate is Senator Chandler Of
New Hampshire. His attack upon scna-
tor Martin of Kansas and Senator Roach
Of North Dakota on Thursday was as in
excusable as 10 was brutal. His speech
was based upon a resolution introduced
by himself declaring the seats of those
two senators vacant His reason for
wanting Senator Martins seat declared
vacant was that that senator had been
elected as "a populist and was now dem
ocrat. and be objected to Senator Roach
occupying a seat in the Senate because,
as he alleged. the charges against the
senator namely. viz. that as cashier Of a
bank in Washington he had embezzled
bank funds. had never been properly in
vesugated.
Senator Chandler knew Of course that
there was no probability that his rcsolu-
ton would be adopted. The senators he
attacked have been admitted to their
seats in the Senate and the presumption
is that all charges against either or both
of them were shown TO be groundless be-
fore they were admitted. What then
was Mr.. Chambers purpose in introduce
ing his resolution TO have their seats de-
clared vacant Was it not to get
chance to reiterate the charges that had
been made against them, and. as far as
nc could. bring them into disrepute with
their fellow congressman and their con-
stituents? If that was his purpose was
not Senator Hin fully justified in insinu-
ating that Senator Chandler is a hypo-
critic, and indirectly charging him with
the theft of the electoral vote of Flor
ida in 1876 when Mr. Tilden was defrauded
Of the presidency?
Senator Chandler made a pitiable spec
tacie when from his place in the Senate
he undertook to break down the charac-
tiers of two of his fellow senators. But
then Mr.. Chandler is capable of doing that
sort Of thing. He knows that he is heart
lily despised, and hence he misses no OPP
portunity to try to make it appear that
he is the good man of the Senate. He is
too well known, however, to play that
role successfully He viii likely remem-
Der for a long time the reply Senators
