Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1897-06-10


adopted are nearer what they were in
the Dingley bill as it passed the House
than they expected them to be when
the amended bill was reported to the
Senate. There is report that Sena-
tor German is at the head of scheme
10 delay the final passage of the tariff
bill until September, because he pre-
fers making his campaign in Maryland
before the people have an opportunity
to see the good effect that the new
tariff will have upon his business.
However, the democrats have not yet
shown any disposition to delay the
bill.
Speaker Reed was amused at the ex-
posure of the sensation manufactured
by an Anticipated fellow who imagines
himself a detective and a newspaper
man. This fellow wrote letters threat
ening the Speakers life if he did not
do as he directed and signed "a Gu ban, :"
and after mailing copies of them to
Mr.. Beed peddled other copies of them
among the Washington correspondents,
and actually succeeded in selling them
to the representatives of several motor
iouslv sensational papers. Speaker
Reed knows that the policy of the
House which he is carrying out 50 we'll
is endorsed by the best interests of the
country and that is all he wants to
know about it.
Representative Henderson is not
profane man as rule and he probably
did not intend to be profane, when,
after Jerry Simpson had delivered one
of his usual abusive TRADES against the
Speaker because he had not appointed
the House committees and several dem
ocrats had repeated for the hundredth
time something idiotic about the ma
jority of the House having been bucled
and gagged by Speaker Reed, he indig-
nantly said: "Why this hell in tea
pot this boiling oyer from the realms
of Kansas" After calling attention to
the fact that the policy now being car
ried out by the vote when attempts
have been made TO set it aside, he de-
clared that the abuse howled at the
Speaker was neither honorable nor
honest. Gen. Henderson concluded
with this lashing for Jerry Simpson:
1T takes time to ascertain the pre-
objections and capabilities of members
Take the gentlemen from Kansas.
Imagine trying to pick out a place
where he could be useful to his coun.
try, when every time he opens his
mouth he makes the problem more
difficult"
Representative Grosvenor put the
House in glorious good humor with |
his description of the changes in Dem. |.
ocratic leadership and his remarks
were interspersed with shouts of
laughter. He said in part: Every
now and then they spring something
new on us in the shape of new
leader. When the talented young
Texan Bailey, who Inherited his .
leadership rather than earned it, was
in command, a little fattery and few
kind words sutficed, and we got along |
ve-y we'll. OF course we had some |
trouble with the disappointed leader
from Tennessee (McMillin), who
grum bled good deal We got used to
that. But when the great leader from
Kansas (Simpson) suddenly flashed
upon the horizon and swung the mi |
nority into solid phalanx, thought,
perhaps, God Almighty had decided to
wreck the Democratic party under his |
leadership. But he dropped out
never knew exactly how, Perhaps |
his time was out Then came the gen.
tleman from Washington (Lewis). /
have not examined his credentials yet, !
and don't know who he represents in |
this contest | don't know whether he |
will be supported, as his leadership has
not progressed far enough to get vote. j
Mr.. Grosvenor also had few words to
say about Senator Morgan's assertion |
that the House was not legally in ses-
sion, which he declared to be wild, !
senseless, imbecile" talk that ought to
be rebuked.
