gram .)-Senator Dietrich today demon
strated that he was neither coward nor
hypocrite," as Tillman alleged the repub-
lican senators were in his speech last
week. by strongly objecting to Tillman's
withdrawing the insulting remarks he
made on the floor OF the senate when the
question Of the adoption of the resolu-
tions OF censure reported by the commit
tee on privileges and elections was under
consideration.
Senator Dietrich, in explaining why he
objected. said that he for one wanted the
senator from South Carolina to, under
stand the sentiment that Tillman did not
belong in that chamber, and he wanted to
protest as earnestly as he knew how
against the use Of such language as was
applied by Senator Tillman to the repub-
lican' side of the senate chamber.
mot only did he insult the members OF
the republican side" said Mr.. Dietrich,
but he also insulted the memory Of our
late president, and for one l did not want
to stand mute when such an aspersion was
being cast upon william Mckinley. for
one believe that Senator Tillman should
have been punished in the strongest man
ner possible. that his offense was one that
should not have been condoned, and
be twenty times more severe on Tillman's
part than on the part Of McLaurin.
'T am constrained to believe, however,
that my objections to the withdrawal OF
the second insult will not be noted In the
record, as Senator Frye, presiding oficer,
did not recognize me when I objected to
permitting Senator Tillman to withdraw
the language he used when his name was
called to vote. Senator Frye intimated to
me that he did not want to recognize me
as making the objection, probably on the
ground that he wanted the strife to term
mate, but nevertheless l wanted Senator
Tillman to understand that he could not
continue to add insult to the members OF
the republican side OF the chamber with
out a protest from me-"
