APPLAUDS PRESIDENT.
"My countrymen. while condemned
the President for his fl inner course, |
honor AID applaud him now that he
hi mself has renOunceQ 1t there is no
higher form of courage than that
which enables man to acknowledge
mis- own mistakes and resolutely TUT
from tn error of his way. But beg
leave to ask you, would the President
ever have been made to understand the
deep end invinciblo Iepngnance of the
Southern people to anything that saw
Ored of social or political equality with
the negro? Would he have been
brought to a reconsideration of his
policy If we had greeted it with laugh
ter and song, IT wa had treated it with
levity, instead of with stern and pas
sionate protest and resentment? And
let me further ask, will the lesson be
enforced? Will the people of the North
be more deeply impressed with the
genulneness and sincerity of our feel
ing upon this question if it shall be
proclaimed that the Democracy of Ten
nessee has Tepudiated one of its Sena-
tors because he showed too mucn zeal,
too much eaInestness and too much
feeling when confronted by policy
which declared open war upon the very
of our civilization and the
very blood of our racer
The speaker then ably defended his
opposition to the Philippine policy of
the Administration.
He gave convincing reasons why he
the building of the great
canal by way of Nicarauga route
rather than the Panama route, quot
ing from the most emiEent engineers
and from the various commissions sent
to survey the two routes.
THE CRUM CASE.
II opposed the action of the Pres1
dent In the Crulu case, and said that
his action IN making a fictitious re-
cess appointment when there was no
recess, but one session of Congress
into another, was without war
rant of law. The Republican COM
NJ ,ttee to which this appointment was
referred unanimously decided that the
President action was without war
Iant of law
II opposed the arbitration treaties
rs strongly as | favored arbitration,
because there was inserted in the body |
If these treaties provision which |
rave the President alone the tight to |
make future treaties
II am not mem ber OF the Committee !
IN Foreign Resolutions, but l know
ny friend, Senator Morgan, will not
object to my saying that at his request
wrote that part of his report dealing
With this phase of the question, in
which supported the contention that !
he terms of those treaties undertook
O strip the Senate of its rightful au
horlty as part of the treaty making
owe1 and to clothe the President with
lowers which do not belong to him
nder the Constitution. The President
vas indignant at the opposition he had
xcited and Published an emphatic
Iotest In toe newspapers. But when
was brought face to face with the
uestion a Republican Senate almos
decided that my conten-
ion was right and amended the treat
es IN accordance with this object.
II opposed the Cuban reciprocity,
realty not because it was treaty
DR. reciprocity but because it
,as not. favored the treaty
D its original form, in the form
a which il had already been ratified
y the Cuban Republic.
