Judiciary Committee during the latter part
or the late session of Congress This led
TO the Introduction OF bill by Senator
Hlii taxing from the courts the right to
me or imprisonment without the interyen-
ton or Jury for indirect contempt.
This bill, Senator Faulkner said, was
caused by the action OF the courts in the
Imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs, and he
called attention to the fact that the measure
was passed without call of yeas and nays
Tine letter or the Attorney General won't
hurt us, Think said the Senator, land
as for being surprised at his action, we
didn't look for anything favorable from our
opponents, you know. 1t was to be ex-
pected" This was all Senator Faulkner
considered it necessary to say about the
Harmon letter.
MR.. BABCOCK PLEASED.
Chairman Babcock, OF the Republican
Congressional committee, appi auded the out
spoken letter of Mr.. Harmon, OF course
~ rpvarf III rnry ahla y,
said Mr.. Habcock, patriotic, and on the
right side of the political question he.ia.,.
1t will help the sound money cause greatly
admire the letter greatly, and it is a nota-
BILE addition to the good testimony given on
the side OF national honor by prominent
Democrats"
Senator Faulkner said he brought very
little news from New York Asto the Hill
meeting. which did not take place. he said
ii had not been his intention to seek an in
terview with Senator Hill, bat that Chair
man Jones had telesraphed the Senator at
Albany. The telegraph company answered
that the message could not be delivered, as
Senator Hin wasin New York.
Any statement that the New York Sen
ator 'dodged'' Chairman Jones in New
York city is false. declared Senator Faux
ner Senator Hill had left the city Just
before Chairman Jones' arrival, he said.
Senator Faulkner declined to discuss
the probable action of Hill The only thing
he would say about the New York trip
was that Chairman Jones brought encour-
aging news from the West, and that
the poor mans campaign, which the small
funds made necessary, was being prose-
cuted vigorously and satisfactorily.
A VOICE FROM DELAWARE.
Congressional Candidate Handy OF Della
ware visited Senator Faulkner this morn
ing. Mr.. Hardy is making strong fight
to win in his district. In talking of d em o.
cratic prospects in the little State he said:
1--WE have lost a number of men from the
party by reason of their opposition to free
silv ver and We miss them greatly. We are
not discouraged, however, We are gai;>
ing many supporters from the Republican
ranks and we see daily defections to our
side from the laboring people and from the
farmers. These facts. supplemented by the
indirect assistance which comes to us from
the Republican family quarrel, make US
hopeful Of winning the State for Bryan.
..As to the Higgins-Addicks fight, that
is fight for principle said Mr.. Handy,
smilingly, land in such a case we say let
them fight it out without niolestation. The
Higgins Republicans are not ready to sell
out the party to millionaire adventurer,
who would purchase the State as he would
a yacht The State of Delaware is not
to be made the plaything of such a man."

states that he can prove this and Is ready
to do SO.
He has no criticism, he says, for the
millionaire individuals, who contribute
large sums to the Republican campaign, but
wheniti is done by corporations, ethinkst the
opposition has excellent political capital in
the fact.
