the Governor would have been refused
benefit of counsel by the Frawley com
mittee had he made such request
| We are not giving the Governor the
| benefit that we accord to the criminal
| in our lowest criminal court"
| Respecting the Governors silence
under criticism, Mr.. Human said that
il seemed to him TO be "a case when
silence is golden-probably the first
time that he has acted with dignity.
Probably this momentous action has
chastened and sobered him.
Assemblyman Birkrant, Progressive,
raised the point that the proceedings
were out Of order under Section Of
the constitution. The point was over
ruled by &ssemblyman Jackson. who
had relieved Speaker Smith in the
chair.
Nobody is crucifying William Sui
zer." shouted Assemblyman Cuvillier,
the next speaker. He has crucifed
himself If he were impeached he
would not dare go on the witness stand.
We don't want 70 impeach William
Sulzer. We should much prefer that
he come before the bar Of this House
and explain these charges away-but
he can't"
Let not those men who have pre-
pared TO sacrifice William Sulzer for
their own advantage put on a cloak
| Of hypocrisy and shed crocodile tears
exclaimed Assem- blyman Gibbs. Every
body Knows that the reason why Sui
zcr is being demanded as a victim is
that he had the manhood 10 refuse 10
be tied to the wheels Of a certain po-
litical chariot"
Eugene Lamb Richards. counsel to
the Frawley committee, arrived at II
o'clock. bringing with him a satchel
containing the original exhibits of the
case against Sulzer He was installed
in the Speakers room, where, with
Speaker Smith and the Assembly
leader, Aaron j. Levy, TO assist. waver-
ing Democrats were brought In to be
shown the first hand evidence of the
case the Frawley committee has built
up against Sulzer.
Few of the wavering ones were
brought over. however, and ii remained
as il has been from the flrst-a ques-
ton Of the pressure which Tammany
can and would bring to bear upon its
own.
Upstate Assemblymen arriving on the
late trains to-day brought with them
the sentiment that is blocking and
holding up the Tammany leaders, when
they declared that the verdict of the
country districts was that whatever
the Frawley accusations against Sulzer
might be, and however strongly they
might be supported, the upstate Demo-
Gratis could not get away from the fact
that the whole fight was fight OF
Tammany against Sulzer, and between
two such antagonists they believed that
Tammany must, and would eventually
> be proved TO he. In the wrong.
