Senator Elon r. Brown then expressed his

OF ell the opponents Cf the bill Senator Grady
WAS the frankest. IN his discourse he boldly
defended gambling Tar q the people con-
Cerned were rich, and declared that s between
Canfele's ana the Stock Exchange he could see
no difference Criticism q the manner IN which
Senator Bracket talked OF his accusation that
District AttOrnev Jerome stood as the exporcr.
