toned the authenticity of the Grundy
speech, said the silence of the Penn

That Is one credit for the junior
Senator from Pennsylvania" remarked
Senator Borah of Idaho. He never
denies anything
Then Grundy spoke up. His voice
did not carry well and some Senators
did not seem to be able to hear MN.
He said:
81 made that speech about a year ago.
However, as it was an impromptu speech
l could not recall the subject matter or
the details of it, and only in part caught
the substance of it from the reading by
the Senator from Wisconsin.
Grundy Replies With Sarcasm.
The exhibition that has gone on here
this afternoon for the last half hour
in my opinion juStifieS about everything
that I understood the Senator from
Wisconsin to read from mis- memoran-
dunn of what I said, If in this discussion
l may exclude any references to the
President of the United States.
Il think this exhibition certainly
ought to be notice to every right-think-
ing person of the United States as 70
the character of discussion which Is
occupying the time and attention OF
some members of the Senate to the ex-
cluSion Of important problems now con-
| fronting the country"

cussing the tariff bill.
IT failed to observe anything about
the rotten Burroughs up in Pennsyl'
vania where they vote dead men" sale
| the Wisconsin Senator. They art
rotten ripe. the stencil of which went tt

the United States" replied Blaine.
Gould not the Senator call Mr.

Caraway, referring to one of Mr.
ut might be very embarrassing to me
| to approach the throne" continued
! Blaine. II do not like detectives. l dc
spise spies, SO cannot go to Mr.
Richey."
Caraway then suggested that he cal
upon Walter Newton, another of thu
White House secretaries, or have com
mission appointed to call it to the Presi
dents attention. But Blaine said h
thought the White House doors wer,
closed to him.
Senator Norris. Republican, Nebraska
then suggested "a way out"
Norris Cites Reports"
IT ask the Senator" continued Norris
! "if he has not read the report that tn
Senator from Indiana, Mr.. Watson, tn,
leader on this side, has decided to cal
a conference of the Republicans in orde
to punish properly Mr.. Grundy for tina
speech, to take him of of his commit
tee assignments and perhaps expel hin
from the Republican party"
Senator Caraway interrupted to say
There is no use to do that, did not MI
Grundy put the President where he /

When Blaine replied that he did no
think the Republicans should punisl
Grundy for the speech, Senator Watson
