Mr. Croker had never asked him to
vote for the bill. He had known Mr.
| Croker for many years. He never knew

to do anything for which he need be
ashamed to face his fellowmen.

Republicanism is not to be challenge
by Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, c
Senator Foraker, of Ohio. 1 don't cha
lenge their right to come here, but
do question the propriety and the
good faith. If Senator Thurston wishe
to teach Republican principles let hiI
go to his own state, which last yea
cast its votes against the Republica
candidate. One Of these gentleme
said that every original Mckinley ma
