entered upon the consideration of the ag-
ri,ultural bill. The bill carries $S,325S02
ling S1S5 800 in excess of the amount for
the previous year.
Mr. Wadsworth, Rep, of New York,
chairman of the agricultural committee,
evnlained that the increases We're due to

Failed to see how Senator .Hanna's return
could be beneficial to the country, save
as an example to be avoided.

Pom of Iowa. in support of the appropri-
zion in the bill for seed distribution and
in eulogy of Secretary of Agriculture Will
SON whom he described as a genuine
bard-fsted farmer, Mr.. Dearmond, Dem.
of Missouri got the floor, and made some
sarcastic comment on the newspaper re-
norris of the election of Senator Hanna
hue the
cram sent from Mr.. Hanna to President
mckinley: God reigns and the Repubh-
can party still lives"
The telegram, he said, was unique. That
God reigned there was no room for doubt;
therefore the latter clause of the telegram
was the more wonderful. But with cut
ting irony he proceeded to comment on
some of the kilograms of congratuiation
sent to Mr.. Hanna from this city, includ-
ing these of President Mckinley, Senator
HaWley and others. Commenting on the
Presidents telegram he asked how the
Term of Senator Hanna could be beneti-
cial to the country save in an example to

was the truest and best exponent and rep
resentative of modern Repubncansim.
Mr.. Diamonds remarks brought Mr.
Mahaney, Rep, of New York, to has Ieet
In a brief, but emphatic, speech he re-
piled to the remarks of the Missourian.
In 1892" said he, 1.-THE American peo-
pie witnessed the spectacle of the Demo-
cratic party meeting in it's national con-
vention, and despite the unanimous pro-
test of New York state, nominating for
the Presidency of the United States "a
man who was repudiated by his own COM
monWealth. 1t was the bosses of the
Democratic party who perpetrated this
outrage on the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic masses. During the succeeding
four years the friends of Mr.. Cleveland,
L. oh
horrent to the consciences of the people,
found their financial schemes smiled upon
through the influence of this government.
This lesson was not lost on the bosses of
the Republican party. In 1896 bosses who
had debauched the legislation of sover-
eIgn states and turned the legislatures of
those states into cash registers for their
own schemes, met together in a bosses
pool to syndicate the Presidency of the
United States, because it was known that
owing to the fact that the conscience of
the Democratic party had risen up and
hurled down to oblivion Cleveland and
CleVelandism, the Republican party, in all
human probability, would be victorious in
the ensuing elections. So the bosses
gathered together to syndicate the Presi-
dency of the United States and at a mo-
ment when the masses of the Republican
party almost despaired of averting this
outrage on their party and this disgrace
TO the republic, there was one man who
rose up, man whom it is the delight
of the Democratic party to denounce as
boss; a man who, by his bulldog cour-
age and his faith in the strength and
conscience of the masses of the Republi-
can party, gave battle to these bosses and
mode triumphant the will of the masses OF
the Republican party in the nomination of
William Mckinley for President of the
United States. Applause on the Repub-
lican side)
Il will state to the distinguished and
profound gentleman from Missouri De-
Almond, that it is for this reason that the
American people rejoice to-day; that a
man who dared to give battle to the
bosses in national convention and hurl at
them his defiance, still survives in the
power and glory of American life. Cap

Mr.. Cannon, Rep. of Illinois, expressed
ms qualification over the election of Sen
Htor Hanna. 1t was a triumph Of the ma
Jority and of political decency. He did
not believe, he said, that any gentleman
on the other side could rise and place his
hand on his heart and honestly say he
was not glad treachery had been rebuked.
Mr. Henderson, rep, of Iowa, then re-
VertinS to the question of seed dstribu-
ton, said he would like to see the policy
discontinued. He said that the $4,000 had

Mr.. Berry, Dem, of Kentucky, supported

Mr. Bromwell, Rep, of Ohio, moved to
sttlke out the appropriation for general
seed distribution. He said he thought it
was time Congress to rid the government
