Mr. Daizell said he would mention
some facts and circumstances connected
with the history OF Mr.. Cochran. He
then read from number of documents
to show that Mr.. Cochran started as a
green hacker, and In 1886 stood with the
Mckinley side because he was for sound
money.
'.For sound money In 1885, he said
amid Republican applause, travelling all
overt the continent; in 1900 In support OF
Bryan. greenbacker. sound money man,
free silver man. He has been a Bryan
Bryan In 1900. Is he for Bryan now"
Looking Mr.. Cochran In the face. Mr..
Dalzel! repeating in derision, said that
Mr.. Cochran has been a Tammanyite
and as such has been a member OF Con-
eress: he has been an anti-Tammany-
lite, and as such ceased to be a member
OF Congress. The gentleman from New
York Is a Tammanytte now again, and
now again he Is a member OF Congress.
The Republicans were reused to a high
pitch OF enthusiasm and approval when
rIr. Dalzell softly inquired, would not
that make one suspicious that 1t was
more than matter Of conscience with
a gentleman having such a harlequin ca
reer?"
The Democratic side OF the House, no
said, had gotten hysterical when ne would

Mr.. Dalzell closed amid wild Republi-
can applause, with a most bitter de-
nunciation OF Mr.. Cochran. He referred
TO that gentleman's speech before the
Democratic convention which sent him
to Congress, In which Mr.. Cochran said;
1--WE have reached point where the
country Is regarded as an 1nternat|ona!
hoodlurn." Facing the Democratic side
and looking directly at Mr., Cochran, Mr..
Dalzell declared
IF there be any hoodlums amongst U.S.
they are not the product OF American
soil. American institutions. or American
civilization" He was INTERRUPTED a WIZ
loud and prolonged Republican applause
Continuing, he sald
''They are to be found rather amongst
those adventures who. having left their
own country for their countrys good,
find In the field OF American politics
prolific source Of notorlety and pelf. men
without conscience and without conylc-
ton find an opportunity now with one
party now with another to find a
market for their peculiar wares, among
which Is not respectabillty.' He look MS

can applause.
