stinted in his praise of the legislation which has
been placed the statute books by Republican
Legislators, and delivered splendid refutation Of
the several derOgatory speeches which have been
made by Democrats in attempt belittle the
party of the majority. Mr.. Dalzel devoted no
little attention to the claims of his Democratic
colleagues and his incsive thrusts at the minor
ity delighted the crowded galleries which heard
him.
He declared himself amazed at the FREQUENT
references made TO Democratic doctrine and pol
Icy" and insisted that Democracy has no policy
These principles he said were chiefly municipal
ownership free silver and the initiative and ref
erendum He dwelt at some length on the recent
speeches Of Representatives Cochran, of New

many of the statements made in each. His views

clared that II there n tariff revision 'it

hcan membership of the House gathered around
