The great Grafton which BourKe
Cochran delive. ed in the House OF
Representatives on April 23rd set the
Democrats wild with enthusiasm. The
Democ. attic Representatives could not
yell loud enough nor stamp hardenougl
to EXPRESS their exultation in his elo'
uuent periods, and his body blows OF.
the Republican corpus. For an after
noon n a night there was hilarious
Joy, and there was no Moses but Coch-
ran to show the Democ. acy the way
out of the wilderness.
But it was different In the morning.
hilarity. All at once, when the Rep
resentatives who had been so joyou'
the day befo. e, saw that they had been
-applauding a statement that the
House. of which they were members
had lost its standing, was a mere ap-
pendage to The Senate; that 1t had
neither force nor d gnity, and that Ii
had sunk to a deplorable level, they
began to tank things. And the things
they thought were not pleasant. A
man does not, on reflection. desire to
applaud the sentiment that he is
a nonenity. So Cochran stock fell. n

But worse yet was TO follow. as ths

And then Senator David B. Hill was
an active hacker of German in mak.ns
the six hundred ard forty odd amend

And the same David b. Hill is now tn,
chief sponsor and hacker of Judg,
Alton Il. Parker. the most piominen
candidate for the Democratic nomina
ton for Pres dent.
To attack such men as these as help
ing to degrade the House of Esepresen
tatives. and as untrue to their dut,
with respect to a Democratic tariI
measure. is bad enough. But TO charg,

All he could say in reply was that 'th,

And SO it stands that way. Cochran
