The San Francisco call., 1899-03-10
GRANT men NOT CAUGHT WITH CHAFF
The Mexican Cannot Get the Followers Of the
San Diegan to Turn the Stone While
He GrindS His Political Ak

| concerning the gentleman so often men
| toned in this case, the son of the most
distinguished soldier of modern times,
| whose memory is cherished by all ma
tions, that l have never said and l have
never allowed to be said that he mas
been guilty of anything that would tar
/ niSh his name, and to demonstrate my
cordial feelings and friendship l hope
that this resolution l have offered Will
prevail"
The applause came from the Burns
! people; the Grant faction sat quiet and
uninterested to hear what Mr.. Fair
weather, who next claimed the floor,
had to say.
This reminds me" said he. of that
old hymn, While the light holds out TO
| burn the vilest sinner may return, -
and the Grant people warmed up
! enough to laugh.
1T gives me great pleasure con-
tinued he, Ito second the motion of my
friend DibbIe, and I am glad he has
| come over to the right side.
| Then Mr.. Burnett of San Luis Obispo
got up. 1t was only the raw aspect Of
! the whole proposition that Appealed TO
Burnett and in saying so he subjected
| Dibble to a scoring that no other mem
! Der on the floor has ever dared indulge
! in. Speaking directly to Dibble he asked
why this sudden reversal of his own
decree, what the incentive. Broadly he
insinuated il could be no honorable one.
He called up Dibble's rabid remark of
Yesterday that Green's dismissal
would mean the disgrace OF the House.
Shaking his finger menacingly at
Burns agent he shouted: If you so
reverse yourself there is but one de-
cision the people Of the State OF Cali
fornia will come to-that com did It,
coin and nothing else.
If death lay in the glance OF an eye.
Eo,,rratt'S constituents would shortly
have found it necessary to call spe-
| cial election Turning upon the man
/ who had dared to bait him, Dibble
said: There is an old French proverb
! that fits the case of Mr.. Burnett 1t
| is .Honi soft quf NAL pense'-evil be
to him who evil thinks-if the gentle
! man from San Luis Obispo has been
/ looking for coin and has not found it
! can he blame me?'
do you mean to say that you have
found it?" retorted the angry Bur
nett.
Dare you say have?" shouted Dib-
''Take you seat, Burnett" ordered
the Speaker.
"Honi soft qui NAL pense," repeated
| Dibble, by way of benediction.
The episode gave way to Feliz of
| Monterey. L admire the manhood of
the man from San Francisco. I admire
much thought to this matter since yes
terday No doubt he has spent a
sleepless night in worrying over the
wrong he has done Mr.. Green and has
come here to-day prepared to make
reparatioR. But 1 want to say that
this is nothing more nor less than a
! scheme to elect to the Senate a GER
tain individual. / want to see a Sem
ator elected before 1 leave this place,
be he Democrat or Republican, but not
this man nor by these tactics
Then Belshaw spoke along the same
line he pursued yesterday. He said
| that to relieve Green would be. to ac-
mistake and was trying to get out of
| it.
Speaker Anderson put Belshaw in the
chair and came down ON the floor to
state his position. He said that he was
unalterably opposed to Green's relief
| to-day, as he was yesterday and had
! always been. He denied that his de-
cisions of yesterday were arbitrary or
carried political significance. He had
acted and voted consistently and would
! continue to do so on every matter ap-
pertaining to the honor of the House
Of which he was Speaker
