the time had come for q constitutional

violent attack on the president 1.-The
present occupant of the White House, Z"
continued Pcttigrew, SIS not content with
the violation Of the constitution by the ex.
crcisc Of the veto power alone, but with an
utter disregard Of his aacred oath Of Office
as well as the constitution he over-rides
tho laws, influences congressman with
patronage, enriches his favorites at the
public expense-in fact permits no re-
st-a!nt but his imperial will
"fIc has refused to enforce the laws Of
congress 20 often that the list Of violations
Is next only to the list Of vetoes He has
sold bonds ut private sale to his favorites
and former associates upon terms and at Q
price many millions of dollars below the
market price of the bonds on the day of
such private sale. In view OF these facts
1t is time for congress to give some atten.
ton to these usurpations. II this govern.
mont is to survive we can no longer look
with indifference upon the shameful au.
tocracy Of Grover Cleveland"
Hawley supported the bill and pointed
out its features Of merit. 1T am sorry to
find the president dominated by this sad
spirit of pessimism," said Hawley. There
Is no decndence Of the love and respect Of
our people for their government. Millions
Of men are ready to lay down their lives

Hill upheld the veto power, declaring
that the fine distinctions and limitations
which had been stated were in the brains
of senator's, but not In the constitution
Senators had quoted jackson, bit Hill re-
minded them that ''Old Hickoy" himself
inauguTated the vetoing Of river and har-
