bin for the annexation of Panama to
the United States, basing his argument
on the ground that the pending canal
treaty practically contemplated that

il amounted to a national disgrace
that such charges were made, He dis
cussed the presidents course at length

it had been negotiated with com
bination of men who had no right to
make it. If the treaty should be
ratified he would accept II as the law
Of the land, but until that was done
