MONDAY, JAN. 18TH. SENATE.
Thirteen pension bills were intro
duced.
Mr.. prtchard, who had been in
corrupted in hi speech on last Fri
lay said "Mr. President, OH FRI
lay last when rose to reply to- tae |
yriticism of the senior Senator from |
Now York Mr.. Hill the chair recog-
uized the Senator from California |
Mr.. White. ! was thus unable to
proceed, and therefore beg the in
diligence of tho Senate for few
moments this morning.
Mr.. pritchard then proceeded to
tear the lions skin off of the jachass
body of the great Democratic peanut
politician, Hill, of New York. Hill
had charged Pritchard with advoca
ting n high tariff reform, and said
n his coarse, goldbug-rnonopoly-
hreling strain, that ne did not see
how "both the North Carolina Sena-
tors were to be accommodated" In
reply to this Mr.. Pritchard said:
"But alas for human greatness,
When the proposition to put even
higher duty than the Mckinley duty
on collars and cuffs was offered the
resonant voice of the honorable Sen
ator was silent as the grave. Does
it lie in the mouth of the Senator
from New York, Mr.. President, to
preach consistency to othersP
Now, Mr.. President, the colleague
OF the honorable Senator voted for
the Wilson bill and clamored for the
highest protection possible on collars
and cuffs, the manufacture of which
is an important industry at Troy. n.
y. The two distinguished New
York Senators were elected by DEM
ocratlc legislatures which owed their
Democratic majority to election
methods like those of Mr.. Bat Shea,
who now, understand, is residing
temporarily ut Sing Sing, counting
the hours until his electrocution,
and to "Boss" John y. Mckane,
who is permanently established al
Sing Sing penitentiary. Would IT
trouble the honorable Senator toe
much to look after his own tariff in
felicites and party incongruitles be
fore meddling with affairs in North
CarolinaP
Speaking in part for North Caro-
lima, I will say TO the Senator from
New York, in conclusion, that l
combination is necessary to com
plete Democratic defeat in the Stat
in this woeful year of Democrat
disaster, it will be effected. My col
league is abundantly able to spea
for himself, but l will suggest to tn
senator from New York that tn
difference between them is, that m
colleague left the Democratic part
because its abuses could not be COZ
rocted inside of it's organization, an
the Senator from New York wa
kicked out of the Democratic part
and branded as traitor because h1
opposition to the Wilson bill threa
ened that hybrid measure with d'
feat. Between the consistency {
my colleague and the self-stultliicf
tion of the Senator from New lOrf
who still maintains his adherence
the Democratic party, the compar
son is no disparagement to my co
league. also wish to remind tt
Senator that McKane was sent
the penitentiary in consequence
misconduct growing out OF DEM
cratic election methods in the Sta
of New York. That is the point
wish to make. The Senator seeks
evade the force of it by remlndlr
me that some time In the past tn
man was "a decent man and Repu
Hcan in the State of New York. "
have u great many instances in hi
tory where men had n good chara
ter, whose character was unquC
TONED, and in an evil moment th
lost their character. l can not he
that. ] am sorry that he is a De-
ocrat and am sorry he is In that
ttude."
Mr.. BUTLER. Mr.. President, |
not care to reply to anything I
distinguished Senator from N
York has said to-day, but | wish
make statement, inasmuch as

tor from New York of course dino
intend TO misquote me, but h n
marks as they appear in the R'or
