In the Senate this morning Mr.. Hoar
asked unanimous consent 10 take I'd the
Clark case and 10 consider the resolution
declaring the Senator not entitled TO his
seat The motion was agreed 10 and Mr..
Hoar then moved that the case be laid
/ over until next Thursday.
Mr.. Bacon took exception to the remarks
Of NJ. Chandler yesterday TO the effect
that there was purpose to delay action
in that case He could not understand
what possible motive the Senator from New
Hampshire could have il making such
statement unless there was an impliea-
tion thai Senator had connection with it.
But the Senator had discIaimed any such
implication De CAlr. Baeon) did not know
what his OWE action would be on the reso-
luton; but he did know that he was a
Judge IN the case: that he was called upon.
under most solemn obligations. TO perform
the duty Of Judge. and that he should
claim the uHehalienged right TO iavestigats
the matter fully before he pronounced
judgment
4 acquit the Senator from Georgia
The Senator need rot aequit me- Mr..
Bacon broke in
I did not IN what said yesterday have
any reference 10 the Senator
Again Mr. Bacon interrupted. The
Senator need not make that disclaimer.
Go not for a moment harbor the thought
me"
The Senator is quite right about that
dr- Chandler remarked. 4 will put il 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 tine 70 read
the testimony"
7 am inclined to th5rk that that Is
true" Mr.. Bacon put in
There was nothing il what I had said
that justified the charge. and ] think the
Senator ought to withdraw il" replied Mr.
Chandler
Mr.. Bscon-If said that. it was per-
haps an injudicious use OF words. / did
noS mean 20 say that IL was the purpose
70 rush consideration and action. but I
meant that the effect would be that
The eolioquy went on. and II the course
OF il Mr.. Chandler referred 10 the threat OF
Mr. Stewart
Threat 10 do what2" Mr- Stewart de-
manded
that II there was any attempt TO rush
the case these three volumes Of testimony
would be read in the Senate for the pur-
pose OF delay"
There VAS no such threat made Mr.
Stewart asserted I suggested that IL
was lot a case that could be rushed and
that IL there was not time TO read the
testimony outside there would be time 20
read Il inside.
7 think that some portions Of IL ought
10 be called 70 the attention OF The Sen
ate, for it was very irrelevant There
should be fair play all round do not
propose 10 be lectured. particularly by a
man who gathered in all sorts OF hearsay
matter and filed three large volumes with
IL
Mr.. ChandleT-When the Senator at
taeks me of the committee he will re-
eeive lecture from me.
I have not attacked you or the CON-
niJtee,' Mr.. Stewart exclaimed
And when he makes threats" Mr..
Chandler continued. he viii have lee
ture from me-"
"A lecture from you. repeated Mr.
Stewart disdsinfuliy. You will get lee
-ure from me on your report and on all
The irrelevant scandal that you brought
into it." (Laughter)
This closed the II-tempered colioquv.
and then, on motion OF Mr. Hoar. the
Clark case was postponed for one week.
