had known him for 30 years and knew
the sort of political affiliations he was
used to.
This brought Allen forward in an ex-
PLANTATION of his party Affiliations. He
had voted for Lincoln and Grant.
When Allen spoke Of his voting In
1892 for General Weaver for president,
Gear interrupted to state that General
Weaver stood for the confiscation of
railroad property, the telegraph and the
telephone and the issuance Of paper to

Gear rose to say that he took no ex-

Allen rejoined that he was surprised at
being able to defile a senator who had
seen so much of the world.
Hoar spoke briefly in support of the
bond resolution. He said the bond trans
actions were properly subject to investi-
cation. No corruption or iniquity was
charged against government officials.
Among minor bills passed was one
amending the Carey act in reference to
arid lands.
At $40 p. m. the senate adjourned until
