II can remember with what frantic
energy he used to wave the bloody
shirt. shirt dyed with the crimson
current OF his own rhetoric; I remem.
Der how he used to go raging over the
land. a bifurcated peripatetic volcano
in perennial eruption. belching fire |
and smoke and molten lava from his |
agonized and tumultuous bowels. can |
see how In public speeches he spattered |
the gall OF his bitterness upon the |
south. until came to think that the |
senator wished all the white people
OF the south had but q single neck,
that he might sever it at q blow. 81
would not have to 80 back forty years
or make an inquiry into the senator's
pedigree to prove that the senator from
Ohio is the last man to sit in judg-
ment in a case Of murder where q
negro was the murderer and southern
whites were his victims.

but will not do the senator such
gross injustice as to judge ms heart
by the testimony Of his own mouth:

| IL the senator from Ohio Is really as
rabid and bitter as he seems, tell
them no. his ferocity Is purely ora
torical; 1t Is simply the lingering force
Of q tyrannical habit.
IF the senator from Ohio could con-
vict the president of the charge he has
charged against him, that of inflict-
ing harsh and brutal punishment with
out any authority of law, then" con-
tinued Mr.. Carmack. ''he win have
making too much money. If the
commission so decides you cannot, Mr.
Mann. with good conscience, say you

no alternative in his action, Mr.. Car
