Red-Hot Roast.

The Democratic side of the house,
he said had gotten hystericaI when
on Saturday he would not disclose the
name of his informant. He then read
from the New York Journal. published
by COckran's colleague. W. r. Hearst,
in August, 1896. statement that
Cochran was for Mckinley, "a position
which, said the publication. Ito those
who remember his career in congress
does not seem to involve such n strain
on his feelings as might be supposed
especially with rumOrS in the air of
S2o0.OOO checks out of Hanna's 'educa-
tiOnal fund" He quoted from an
article in. the New York Tribune in
1898. in which the statement was made
that Cochran evidently had been deep
ly incensed by the charge that he had
sold his OratOry to the fusion cause.
but had been hired for n larger price
by Tammany.
DalZell closed amid wild Republican
applause with a most bitter denuncia-
ton of Cochran. He referred to that
gentleman's speech before the Demo
cratic conventiOi which sent him to
congress, in which Cochran said: I'VE
have reached a point where the coun-
t;'y is regarded as an international
hoOdIum." Facing the Democratic
side and looking directly at Cochran
DalZell declared that that utteranCe
was of as much interest to them as
ii was TO himself. ''If There be aTy
hOOdlumS amongst US" he said. speak
ing with much vehemence. they are
not the product of American soil. Amer
lean institutions or American civiliZa-
tion.''
He was interrupted with loud and
prolonged Republican applause. Con
tinuing. he said: They are TO he found
rather amongst these Adventures who.
having left their own country for their
country's good. find in the field of
American politics prolific source of
notoriety and pelf: men who without
conscience and without conviction fiUd
an OppOrtunity now with one party,
now with another. to find a market
for their peculiar wares, among which
is not respectability." He took his
seat amid another storm of Republic
an applause.
Cochran replied briefly. hut bitterly.
He referred contemptuously TO the
newspaper evidence by which Dalzell
justified his charge. and denied every
allegation made by the Pennsylvania
member. including those referring to
political inconsistency; said he could
always protect himself from DalZell
by choosing my own side of the
street" and then introduced resolu-
tiOns providing for n committee Of five
members to investigate DalZell's
