What democrats thought Of this par
ticular utterance of Mr.. Cummings win
appear from what another democrat
Champ Clark, of Missouri. said: IF Il
were not for my personal affection for
the gentleman from New York, /
would inaugurate a movement among
the democrats in this and the other end
of the capitol to read out of the demo-
cratic party, by name, every man ON
this floor who voted for the bond bin
the other day"
A PATRIOTIC DEMOCRAT.
Some members OF the democrats
party in congress also vigorously op-
posed the annexation OF Hawaii. In
deed, their opposition and flibustering
tactics became so obnoxious to that
able and distinguished southern demo-
crat, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, that
he denounced the actions OF his demo-
cratic colleagues in a most scathing
speech, in which he said: I'm delight
ell to find there Is a majority here will
ing to stand by thep residents courso
in Cuba and Hawaii and l am delighted
to act with them, though they are not
my friends politically. / will stand by
them through thick and thin for my
country and its flag. l will not be q
party to any miserable political trick
and intrigue. / can not reconcile II to
myself that this great and august body,
of which have hal the honor of being
a member now for twenty-one years,
could set itself in the attitude we 90
cupy this evening, OF antagonizing the
administration that Is conducting thia
wal and doing 1t so we'll and with such
high purposes and motives; that we
should be here laying pope for the pur-
pose Of controlling elections in Novem-
Der an dthat that should be the motive
OF u conduct. II that Is not the mo-
tive, let the Joint resolution come to
a vote when the debate is ended. I
hope we will not have any more of this
procedure this opposition and flibus-
tering, to say the least OF It,"
The conduct of some of the demo-
cratic senators must have been fearful
to have caused this bitter rebuke from
the leading democratic senator In TIM
senate.
IMPORTANCE OF ELECTING A RE-
PUBLICAN HOUSE.
In view Of this record that we have
submitted. and In spite of democratic
protests as to patriotism, would it not
be a national calamity at this critical
time to have a republican president
hampered by a democratic congress2
1t certainly will be far better for onr
country to have the whole administra-
ton republican. For the republican
Party is a party Of progress and adj
truly American. We are fortunate In
having an ational administration that
needs nod efense, for it's achievements
are known Of all men. No admins
tration in the history Of our nation has
wrought 30 much In the same space OF
time. 1t stands without a parallel and
las astonished the world. 1t began In
career under the most unfavorable cip-
cumstances. The people we're discour-
aged and restless. $263, OOO, 900 in bonds
with interest running thrifty years
which when due will amount to thu

issued by the preceding democrats
administration in the piping times oi
peace. Our national treasury was
bankrupt, and on every hand could b.
