address on Recent Criticisms on Rep

George T. Hoar OF Massachusetts,.
Senator Hoar said: II believe that the

net see how love of country can long
abide while ones country is altogether
ignoble."
Taking up the problem Of when party
adhercnt does right in voting ndepen-
dently. he said: Il hold II a good thing
TO narrow and not widen the field cf po-
ltical controversy. Certain offices need
only men OF executive ability and hon
esty TO fill them, and their political con-
victions are OF M greater Importance
than religion and the color Of a mans
hair. Nor should a man support evil
measures because his party advocates
them. But the men who fill some offices,
such as president CT governor. are i'm
portant for what the country does
through them and not for what they
themselves are. and here I do not sym
pathize with the Independent"

them doubted that there was any toun-
dalton to the charges made against
them.
When the hour for the hearing this
afternoon arrived the government
witnesses were not on hand, and the
defendants were discharged without
trial.
