IN A LATE MESSAGE.
Rourke Cockran Defends tho Demo
cratic Party, Praises President
K<><>s<>veli tor Hts Message, Which
lio Says Outlines tho Conditions
Under Which Rrynn Recomes tho
Ordained Champion,
During tho consideration of tho
Indian appropriation hill In tho
House Mr. Townsend, of Michigan,
?louvered a speech in which he re
hearsed the history of Republican
legislation, which, ho said, he did for
tho purpose of "disputing tho unwar
ranted claims ol' our Democratic
bro! bron."
Ho was not, he sahl, defending
tho prosent Administration. "It. needs
no defence with tho American peo
ple," ho said. "Its record will ilu
mino tho pagos of Pulled States his
tory and mark an epoch In popular
government." Ho declared that the
student of the future would point to
it as "tho period when the people
came into tho possession of their own
by establishing by facts tho theories
of a Republic, whereby Federal law
is onaeted for no class or financial
condition, but for all tho people."
Ho said that the legislation of the
last two Congresses had been charg
ed with producing the Into financial
disturbance, and ho undertook to
rofute tho charge NS untrue. Ho re
ferred especially to the railroad leg
islation and said that Democratic pol
iticians, liming that tho legslatlon
waa good, desired to adopt it to
themselves as a political asset in fu
turo campaigns.
Declaring fault Unding to be the
largest part of the capital of the
Democrats, he declared "the Demo
cratic party has a nose for carrion,
it can scent corruption at very long
rango, but it. bas no relined distinc
tion as to tho hind." Every little
while, be said, be heard or read ol
nome Democrat saying that tho rate
hill, the anti trust law and tho en
forcement of them were pf Democrat
ic origin; that Republicans bad stol
en Democratic thunder; that Presi
Domocrnllc parly may come m mai i
them by richi of pososslon under the
statute of limitations."
(V? Mr. Townsend denied thal the rate
law and the principles ii represented
word of Democratic olivia or con
ception, ami he in (pd red If thc Pres
ident had departed from Republican
policies NV h icti it bad advocated. He
Iben discussed ant i-t rust, legislation,
ami compared tho action under tho
Cleveland administration and under
the Roosevelt administration. Au
compared with ('loveland's adminis
tration ho said Ibero had been under
tho Roosevelt ad minist rat ion four
limos ns many bills in equity bled,
niuo times, as many indictments
found and seven times as many con
victions, with nine Indictments cases
vlill pending. Anti-trust law, he
s.,id, was no I ot Democratic origin,
ami its enforcement was not to Dem
ocratic credit.
Cockran Answers Townsend.
Representativo I to uric o Cochran, pf
Now York, Democrat, denied thc itel
curacy of Mr. Townsend's statement,
and said thal sim o the beginning of
tho Republic then had not I.n a
single policy prominently incorporut
. ed into law that was not bf Democrat
ie origin.
Wild Democratic applause greeted
Mr. ('od;ran when ho remarked that
the poliah s ol' jefferson; adopted to
avoid var willi Franco, had been .ap
plied by Hie Republicans to "the con
quests of the Philippines and the
purchase of men. " ile compared (he
Philllpine acquisition wilh Hie Louis
iana purchase, "one glorious posses
sion of our country," and said lin
Republicans were seasick bf tho Phil
lippi'10 bargain Hov would he wil
ling to blame Providence foi it.
Ile asked if (he M :: loci ti
was of Republican origin. lt w
not, ami yet, he added, il frequent
ly had been involved liy them.
Mr. Cockran spoke ol' the civil war
and said ililli while il wa S true Ro
publicans led Hu I nion force.-., Dem
ocratic patriots manned the army.
"The message which the President
sent bore Friday raised a (pioslloii
thal goes to the very existence ol
tho growth ol' civil government," be
said.
"After we pass Ibo portion eon
faining complaints, we come to the
liait where we all applauded, rind thal
was the paragraph relating to charges
thai business distress was brough I
on by tho Oovornmeni, and Ibo para
graph raying thal (be knife should
ho freely used in culling oui l'OttOU
noss."
(J$ "If (here bc any forces outside of
our penitentiaries who would pro
rent tho enforcement of such action
?icy themselves assert that, rotten
noss is the foundation of our pros
portly."
Denounces Dishonest (inici?is.
Mr. Cockran denounced bunk pres
identa und corporation officials who
hud boon guilty of Illegal acts. In
speaking of the recent Quanda! crisis
ho said lt has been caused by suc
cessful revelations of depravity i ,
high places in Hie financial world
Tho whole Hiing, he declared, grev.
our of a (linn i el of th? plunderers ol
insuarneo companies over tho dis
tribution of tho spoils. So doeply
did tho pu lille conscience becomo ap
palled, ho said, by tho spectacle of un
punished crime that never before did
Instead of curtain corporation hoads
being sulTorod to do houuo donning
in tho corporations they had pillaged,
they ought to bo sont to do some
cleaning in tho penitentiary. Those
gentlonion," ho said, "when their ra
pacities had exhausted tho supply
and thero was nothing left to steal,
did not oven surrender control of tho
corporations they had wronged. Tiley
do not." lie continued, "dee from jus
tice, fearing Hs sword, but they go
into a Court of justice and obey its
pro! eel lon."
Regarding recent bank failures In
Now York, Mr, Cockran said that not
one of thom fulled through error of
judgment, but through ?aime. Ho
charged that tho officers who wem?
being pursued before grand juries
and Criminal Courts actually had sot
themselves to work to raise funds to
reopen tho concerns and induce, de
positors lo sanction delay in the pay
ment of their money.
"It had boon asked," continued
Mr. Cockran, "why dont tho
President proscenio the gen
tlemen? Hut." lie said, ho noticed,
"it. was always propounded by Hmso
Who, if they thought thero was any
danger of prosecution, would not en

quoted in tho newspapers, but be
quietly seeking steamship tickets to
foreign lands." Ile did nut believe
the President yid had exhausted all
his powers, but, ho sold, 'i do say
this message shows he appreciates
bis duly.
Inspired Proclam?t inn.
The message was, ?Mr. Cockran de
clared, an inspired proclamation to
tho American people.
Mr. Cockran discussed thc judi
ciary and said ho noticed In his own
State Redorai and Stale Judges leav
ing tho Rcnch to accept, professional
employment by corporations. It was
no wonder, therefore, ho said, that
public conscience should bo alarmed.
Ho spoke of tho President's love of
justice and said lt bad been charged
that the President was indiscreet.
"Can it ho taken as a reproach
against any public servant .' " he add
ed, "that his love of justice ls so
strong Hull it does not com perl with
the Interests of tho people?'1 Ho
