soon afterward got the floor and re-

all the demagogues OF demagogues in
that time, the worst demagoguc was
the gentleman from Medicine Lodge
He was recognized all over the country
as the demagogue of this House.
"Well,' replied Jerry. with great
good nature, when n gentleman is
cornered In debate and finds he is on
the wrong side. he generally retorts
by calling his opponent Il demagogue
I have voted with the Democrats when
thought they were right, and was
called demagogue by the Repub-
licans; and I have voted with the
Republicans when though they were
right, and have been called dema
gogue by the other side of the House.
But you have never been called a
plutogogue," shouted John Williams
of Mississippi.
"No," responded Jerry. sadly, "a
have not, and never want to be-
consider IT an honor however. to be
called demagogue by such Il man as
the gentleman from Pennsylvania"

his feet. When the gentleman from

A swirling discussion was a feature
Of the debate on the Indian appropria-

lists were at 1t hammer and tongs. The
silver question was logged in and the
melee was productive of hot words.
General Grosvenor finally got the floor
