Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader fol-
lowed Mr.. Tayler. He did not intend. he
said, to discuss the merits of the case. The
question in issue was as to whether the
Representative-elect Roberts had a prima
facie right to his seat. He was not will
| ing to reject a representative-elect who
appeared at the bar of the House with his
credentials in due form. If he was denied
admission a precedent would be created
| which would rise to plague the House in
years to come. The only constitutional OBJ
lection raised against the member ELECT re-
| lated to his naturalization and that Mr.
Richardson asserted would not hold He
defied the other side to produce a single
precedent where objection was raised to
the administration of the oath except on
constitutional grounds. The precedents
cited were made during the war and were
not to be relied upon. In those days the
Constitution was written with the sword
They had all been since overruled after
the passions that followed the war had
subsided.
Mr.. Richardson declared that the minor
ity was In no wise bound by his position
He spoke for himself alone He was will
ing TO say that If the charges against the
member-elect were proven he should favor
his expulsion. IF there is one thing the
American people are a unit on -aid he

preserved in all its loveliness. sweetness
and purity" [ApplauseI But" he pro-
ceeded 'it is not wise to permit our judg-
ment to be warped by public clamor. To
do so amounted to condemnation without
several precedents in support of his posi-
ton. The first was the case of Geo. Q.
Cannon. who appeared in the House as
delegate-elect from Titan IN 1873. Mr.. Can
non was a Republican. Almost identically
the same charges now made against Mr..
Roberts were made against Mr. Cannon.

Mr.. Richardson also cited the case of

where the Democrats had insisted that he
should have the oath administered TO him.
He also quoted the late President James A
Garfield I'm support OF his contention that
where the credentials presented are regular
in form there Is no power in the House to
exclude him. Mr.. Richardson read the
words OF Mr.. Garfield. which concluded:

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Henry c. Payne,
national Republican committeeman from

a reporter he said:
81 have seen the published statements
quoting me as authority for a rumor that
United States Senator NJ. A Hanna was to
retire from the Craftsmanship OF the ma

1T, and the report must be the result of
misunderstanding. In 1896 L was one of
those who urged Mr.. Hanna to take the
chairmnaship He very reluctant to
do So but finally consented. I hope he will
continue in the position. With regard to
the proposed plan TO make the Republican,
vote in congressional districts the basis of
representation in the national convention,
1 am convinced that the national commit
tee will recommend such a change to the
national convention. 1t is on the same
principle that delegates are chosen to the
Republican state conventions in New York,
and is eminently more fair than the system
now in vogue Under the latter con-

SOCIALISTS WIN AT BROCKTON.
Gain Another Town I'm the Bay State
Municipal Elections.

BOSTON. Dec. 5.-The feature Of the
municipal election in fifteen OF the thirty
two cities in the State to-day was the
added triumphs of the Socialists. Last year
the Social Democrats captured Haverhill
and this year Brockton was added to the
column. Candidates in other cities made re-
spectacle showings and the vote which
they received materially affected the other
contestants. AS a rule the Republicans
were successful, Quincy being reclaimed
from the Democrats and independent can
didates defeated in other cities by substan-
tial majorities.
Fall River elected Republican mayor by
31S majority and two-thirds of the alder
men and councilmen are Republicans.
Springfield elected William p. Hayes.
Dem, mayor by l92 majority. Eight Demo-
Gratis and ten Republican councilmen were
chosen.
AS usual there was much interest mani
tested in the license vote and there were
three surprises when the vote was counted
Taunton changed over from license to no
license while Waltham and Fitchburg
which have for some time been dry
towns" voted this year for wet goods"
Nearly all the cities voted in favor of
making eight hours a days labor for city
employees.

SENATOR SPooNER Of Wisconsin,
who has Just returned from e trip to
Europe, expresses great surprise at the
little attention paid by Europeans,
even those speaking the English Ian
guage. to what is going on in this
country. Every other provincial Amer
lean is similarly impressed. All such
people labor under TOO exalted idea
of the Importance in the worlds affairs
of their own country, engendered and
fostered by their own newspapers. The
American is young nation. SO young
that it is bumptious, and old England
treats il as mature man treats fro
ward sprineRld; is kind to it, but pays
little or no attention to what it says or
does, except to smile at its innumerable
freaks, which are justly attributed TO
its adolescence. After century or two,
Americans may possibly have less
opinion of themselves and more OF
other and wiser nations.

When Esterhazy quilted prison he told
Strong several times that he would tell
all and that it would ruin De Clam and
all those who had abandoned him.
Strong said Esterhazy impressed him as
being thorough crook and swindler.
NJ. Colbert, handwriting expert of the
Bank of France, was then called. Go

bordereau with specimens of Dreyfus's
handwriting, he was convinced that
from first to last it was not the work OF

General Gonse was then called to

Colbert was wrong in the details OF his
testimony, whereupon the expert

witness began by stating that the
