Senator Bacon of Georgia, IN a
sneech in the senate, precipitated the
1iveliest row of the session, and so
stirred up the muddy waters that at
one time it seemed doubtful if the sem
ate could adjourn according to pro-
gram. The senator was speaking on
the republican trust measure, when
was passed by the house with great
flourish as campaign scheine'
with the intention that the SEN
ate should pigeon hole 1t. tie
spoke with great strength against
any trust legislation and denounced
the cheap political methods OF the re-
publicans in attempting to bunco ana
deceive the American people. Speak
inc for the democrats, he urged thal
the measure should be put to vote OF
the senate. and not referred as ar
ranged in Metropolitan program. lie
then spoke of the part which the trusts
plav in the republican campaign.
"The most remarkable statement
ever made on the floor OF this senate
said he, "was when a senator maze
the statement that the Cramps OF PM
adelphia contributed 100000 to the re-
publican campaign fund in 1886, with
the understanding that the firm should
be given contracts in building ships to
amply repay the contribution ana
leave them % handsome fortune be-
sides. That statement was made in the
presence of the chairman of the repuD-
lican national committee, and he ana
not open his mouth to chailange IT, y

face of the manager of that campaign

Senator Hanna heard the Georgian
reiterate the charge of Senator Petit
grew. and this led to denunciation OF
Pettigrew by Hanna. Senator Pettl-
grew replied briefly, stating that what
he had said was true.
