Grafton.

GRAFTON.
Senator Hoar yesterday obtained unan-

| the case OF W. A Clark of Montana. and
asked that the resolution declaring the
latter unlawfully elected be considered.
Mr.. Hoar then moved that the case go
over until next Thursday when the SEN
ators could be prepared to speak on it.
Senator Bacon then arose and took ex-
ception TO the remarks Of Senator Chan
dler on Wednesday to the effect that
there was a purpose to delay action in
the case, and he wished to disclaim that
he had anything to do with the matter.
Il acquit the Senator from Georgia,
Mr.. Chandler began.
The Senator need not acqult me" Mr..
Bacon broke in.
Il did not in what said yesterday have
any reference to the Senator"
Again Mr.. Bacon interrupted. The
Senator need not make that disclaimer.
do not for a moment harbnr the thought
that any man ever supposed that about
me"
The Senator IS quite right about that
Mr.. Chandler remarked. Il will put it in
any language he chooses But the Senator
said yesterday that / desired that the SEN
ate should be rushed into considering and
voting on the matter without time to read
the testimony"
4 am inclined to think that that is
true" Mr. Bacon put In.
There was nothing in what I had said
that justified the charge. and I think the
Senator ought 10 withdraw It," replied Mr..
Chandler.
Mr.. Bacon-If 7 said that. IL was per-
haps an injudicious use OF words, | did
at fn cav that W. thu
to rush consideration and action. but
meant that the effect would be that.
Mr.. Chandler then referred to the threat
made by Mr. Stewart.
What threat?" asked the latter.
THE threat was Mr.. Chandler replied.
that IL there was any attempt made to
rush the case these three volumes OF testi-
mony would be read in the Senate for the
purpose Of delay"
There was no such threat made Mr.
Stewart asserted. Il suggested that it
was not a case that could be rushed and
that if there was not time to read the
testimony outside there would be time
to read it inside.
II think that some portions Of it ought
to be called to the attention Of the Sen
ate. for it was very irrelevant. There
should be fair play all around. l do not
propose to be lectured, particularly by
man who gathered all sorts Of hearsay
matter and filed three large volumes with
it."
When the Senator attacks me or the
committee, he will receive a lecture from
me. said Mr.. Chandler
4 have not attacked you or the CON-
mittee." Mr.. Stewart exclaimed.
And when he makes threats" Mr..
Chandler continued, he viii have a lee
ture from me-
"A lecture from you" Mr.. Stewart re-
peated disdainfully, You will get a lee
ture from me on your report and on all
the irrelevant scandal that you brought
into j."
The case then went over until next
