Sharp Personalities Exchanged by

Bracket and Raines.
Albany. April 1s-The sensational scenes OF the
morning session in the Senate were followed this
afternoon by one even more remarkable IN whicn
Senator Raines was denounced in violent language
by Senator Bracket who recalled the attack made
on Senator Raines's character some eight or ten
years ago. when charges of corruption were made
against him in connection with a New-fork FIRE
Department matter of legislation.
Senator Bracket first rose to a question OF per-
sonal privilege. and then sent to the desk clip
ping from New-York newspaper. with the request
that the clerk should read it. The article was re-
gardng the predicted rejection OF the nomination
of Frank NJ Baker to be Railroad Commissioner.
and included an interview with Senator Raines in
which Mr.. Ranes quoted as saying that there
not an ounce of Republican blood in the veins
of the three independent Senator'S and he predicted
that they would be returned TO the Senate
When the clerk had read the article Senator
Raines asked to interrupt for a minute saying:

Senator Brackett then addressed the Senate
saying:
