he supported Mckinley when the people had forced financial plank in the plat form which met his tCockran's) approval.
 T will state that have been Informed that 1t was profitable 10 the gentle man from New York to support Mckinley when he did remarked MT. Dalzell. amid applause and laughter on the Republican side.
 That is a statement" replied Mir Cochran. with vehemence which has come out mouth full enough to utter words behind which there Is no con- science I challenge the gentleman and all the cohorts of vice and crime and cor ruption that are embodied in the Repub- lican party to show that their National Committee ever contributed as much as my railroad fare during all that cam paign."
 This was greeted with prolonged ap- plause and cheers on the Democratic side T do not suppose the gentleman paid any railroad fare Mr. Daizell said.

 "I challenge the gentleman now. as I challenged Mr. Honna while he was liv- ing, as I challenged The New York Trib- une last fall in New York while Mir. Hanna was still living. and as I now challenge every one on any side, to show where, in the last two years. have nos been a subscriber to, instead of recipi- ent from. campaign funds. The gentle- man attributes to me what he knows to be the universal custom of every Repuoii- can politican."
 This was greeted with prolonged cheers and appla dse by the Democrats.

 So vociferous was the Democratic applause that 1t was some time before MT Cochran could resume. &
 He then continued the discussion of the trusts, describing the long reign and mistakes of the Republican party. MT. Cochran predicted. its reign would end, and end now. It matters not whether the man to lead the Democrats to victory was the one named by the New York convention, Judge Parker, or whether the leader should be the officer who had suppressed poodle and crime in Missouri. Tn any event. he hoped the minority leader of the House (Mr. Williams) would be oh the ticket. This reference provoked prolonged ap- piause which was joined in by the Re- publicahs, tt
