ELOQUENCE OF WHITNEY.
Senator whitney made a magnificent
speech, bristling with good sense and
eloduence.a He said:
Il am opposed to the motion to ex-
punge. / knew nothing of this Ieso-
luton until it was introduced
upon the floor of this assem-
bly,, and 1 was among those who voted
to lay it upon the table. l co not ques-
ton the motives. of the member who
| introduced it, nor of those who favored
its adoption. These motives, l doubt
not, were pure and honorable am not
among those, thank God, who spend
their time Matching up imDurations
upon the motives of members of this
assembly. Desperate diseases require
desperate remedies and it IS only a
desperate cause that requires desperate
arguments TO bolster it.
One of the commOnest arguments of
this kind is the imputation of Improper
motives to an adversary. This is not
always done directly. An inuendo, an
insinuation, is sometimes made to do
service in lieu of an open accusation.
The deliberations of this assembly
have not been free from insinuations Of
this character. 1t was inSinuate1 here
the other day that because u certain
candidate for United States senator
was not member of the dominant
church that fact might possibly count
against him with members of this body.
Again. it was intimated that another
candidates wealth ought not 10 weigh
in his favor, or another candidates
poverty to count against him. IN other
words, that we should not bow down
to god Of gold.
Why, sir. what right have
such arguments as these upon this
floor? a mans religion or non-religion,
mans wealth or poverty, are not
qualifications or disoualidcations for
the Office Of senator of the United
States. A man may worship a yellow
dog, for aught 1 care, bowling down to
its head at night and TO its tail in the
morning: that has nothing to do with
the question of the senatorship. Neither
has mans wealth or poverty. 1
have not pleaded in support Of any
candidate that he is a man Of wealth.
It is not his wealth that commends him
to those who are supporting him, but
II.
ize capital, TO promote industry and
build uQ the country; ability which is
just as much God-given endowment
and just as worthy of recognition as
that which enables other men to utter
forth thoughts that breathe and words
that burn
L re9udiate with scorn all these in
situations, this calling in question of
mems motives. | protest against any
tmputation upon the motives Of Mrs.
Horne, the introducer of this resolution.
Those motives are pure. But I am op-
posed to the motion to expunge the
resolution from the record. Let those
who wish to recant, recant. Let a mo-
ton be made generating the president
But let Us not carry this motion to ex-
punge, thus mutilating the history of
these proceedings"
OTHER OPINIONS EXPRESSED.
Representative Lapish did not believe
that any one questioned the motives of
the member who introduced the resolu-
ton Tuesday, and he favored either ex-
pungtnS the matter from the record.
or TO the elimination of Mrs Horne's
name as the prOponent of the objection
able resolution.
L opposed the resolution and sec
onded the motion to expunge all refer
ence to the matter from the record"
said Representative jackson, because
! objected to its object. Representa-
tive Horne's wishes are my wishes, and
hope they will actuate all the other
members the same. l have not risen
to make a speech in favor of my can
didate-to pile Pelion on Ossa or to
carry Goals to Newcastle; but, sir, if
reputation of insinuations is in order
/ can be as emphatic as can any gen.
tleman in this assent bly,"
Representative Robinson said: There
are two phases of this question to
which 1 desire to call the attention of
the assembly. If the resolution was in
troduced without any Interior purpose.
1t can not possibly do any harm to re-
tain it in the journal. 1 have entirely |
freed Mrs Horne, in my mind. from |
any improper motive, but would like to !
call her attention to this fact, that she |
is representing her sister suffragists in |
this legislature, and they would not |
have her Shirk any responsibility she |
may have incurred; and, in my opin-
ion, she would be subject to greater
reflection If this matter be expunged /
than if it be retained in the journal l !
shall vote for its retention"
The mover of the resolution said |

CALLED THE TRIBUNE DOWN.
Arising to a question of personal priv
lege. Senator Evans said:
Ordinarily I do not take notice of
reports. and We're it not for
he fact that it had been misrepresented
n one of the morning papers I should
lot ask to treSpasS on your time,
which shall be for only a moment,
however.
Il will read from the Tribune of this
morning:
