islative security, but declared that it was
brought about by gerrymander and vari-
Gus forms OF electioneering larceny, in
which he indicated that the then Gov
ernor and present Senator from New
\ ork was concerned. AS to the election
of Martin of Kansas, Chandler said the
! Senator, although a Democrat, had made
| CLOSE connection" with the Popuiist
mem bers of the Kansas Legislature, and
! on becoming a Senator had secured all
! the Democratic patrlmony which the
State of Kansas received from the
| him." said Chandler, sand the results
have been what might have been eX-
! pectcd."
| AS to the seat now occupied by Roach
of South Dakota Chandler declared that
it would be filled by a Republican, il
there had not been the basest mauipula-
ton, in which the Speak er 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 the private record of Roach, and read
from it to show how action on the inves-

proceedings of the Kansas Legislature in
the election of Martin, and declared that

presented in electioneering frauds. He

remain until next Monday, when the

Senate, as PETER had at times with the
Republicans, but Chandler did not criti-

possible, with the unlawful and fraudu-
lent vote OF Martin and the vote of Roach,
who should never have remained in the
Senate one day after the facts of his life
were known, for the Democratic major
ity of the Senate to be maintained:
Chandler closed with a reference to
GOrman's recent figure of speech that
a bow of promise for Democracy was in
the sky" which, said the New Hamp-
shire Senator, was merely flash from
the lower regions.
Hill was Immediately on his feet when
Chandler had finished. He said the
Senate had witnessed an extraordinary
spectacle. The Senator from New
hampshire sought at this closing hour of
the Senate to stir up some partisan bitter
ness. But the spectacle this Senator has
presented o-night-indulging in coarse
statement against brother Senator
does him no good, and VIII do his party
no good" said Hill, vehemently.
