mo one could tell about that,
because that Is q matter OF
opinion, on which probably no two
persons would agree. It may be
that I have a temper.
II read on: Most Of his coll
leagues remain In awe Of Nc
Kellar's lashing tongue; even In
fear
In my judgement, that Is a will
full, deliberate, malicious lie, out
of the whole cloth. If any sena-
tor stands in awe of me for any
reason. I do not know 1t. I have
never heard Of such thing. The
only thing I can say about that
statement is that 1t Is an abso-
lutte falsehood."
"A COLOSSAL LIE"
Listen to this. OF all the re-
markable statements that have
been made about me In this ar
ticle, this one is the most false,
most damnable, most outrageous,
the most colossal lie I have ever
read about myself or anyone else:
They remember the occasion when
Mcclellan pulled q knife, and
charged a colleague on the Sem
ate floor, until he was disarmed.'
IT say that that statement Is
a willful, deliberate, malicious, dis
honest, intensely cowardly, low,
degrading, filthy lie, out Of the
whole cloth. I never pulled a
knife on any person in my life.
Not only have I never pulled a
knife on any senator. but I have
never pulled a knife on anyone in
my entire history"
During this part Of his
sueech, Senator Mcclellan glared
hard at Senator Clark Of Mis-
souri,.
MIR. CLARK Of MISSOURI:
'NIr. President, will the sena-
tor yield?"
MCCLELLAN: II yield. NotWith-
standing my temper, am de-
lighted to yield"
mir. CLARK: II can bear wit
ness to the fact that the sena-
tor was never Incorporate with
me-"
NOTE: The Associated Press.
April 5, 1898, reported: When the
Senate quit for the day, Senator
Mcclellan made lunge at Senator
Copeland, but Senator Clark of
Missouri steppedin. Struggling IN
Afr. Clark's arms. Sen. Mcclellan
announced distinctly that Senator
Copeland was a blankety-blank,
asinine old son Of a so-and-so.
Furthermore, Senator Mcclellan
went on, he was blankety- blank,
lying what-you-may -call-it."
Sen. Clark later told this COL
umnist that Mcclellan had a clasp
knife which he was atking out Of
his side coat pocket when Clark
grabbed his arm. Clark has since
denied this.
