GROSVEMOR AT DE ARIVIOND'S
MULTITUDINOUS CHARGES
WITH OLD TIME FIRE
Opposes Postoffice Investigation Because Complete Inves-
tigation Has Been Made, Lauds the President s Pana
ma Action, and Calls the Democratic Hand on Many j
Republican Measures They Decry.

GORMAN OUT OF FIGHT
ed by speeches by Mr. Dearraond and
Mr. Grosvenor, the former attacking
the republicans fur failure to consider
an investigation Into the postoffice
charges and to revise the tariff, and
the latter vigorously defending the re
ptibllcan party and lauding the presi-
dent for the part he played in the pos-
tal investigation, the passage of the
Cuban reciprocity law and the treaty
ever dreamed could be put on tin:
statute books/of the country." He
mentioned the president's attitude in
connection with the postofflce investi-
gation. Cuban reciprocity treaty, and
the 1'anama canal treaty. In the lat-
ter ease, he said, the president had
risen in his own person, In his own
power as an individual and as presi-
dent of the United States, and solved
that problem in such a manner that all
with Panama for the construction of the world looked on In admiration, and
an Istbm'an canal. lie added that there was nobody in the
Mr. Grosvenor frequently was inter-! United States today that raised a sane
Tupted and applauded by the republi- voice against the proposition. When
cans when lie answered the gibes ol the first ship goes through the canal,
jcveral democratic members on the
question of tariff and the postal in-
vestigation.
Earlier in tho day Mr. Prince, ol
Illinois, in a vigorous speech pre-
dicted friction between the general
naff of the army and the secretary of
war. .
The military academy bill was passed
■without amendment.
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio closed t he
general debate on the bill devoting
himself to a defense of the republi-
can parly. Mr. Dearmond. he said,
had Indicted the leaders on the floor of
the house for an attempt to cover up
crime.
"What crime." Mr. Grosvenor asked,
"ha* been committed In any one of
the branches of the administration ot
the federal government and by whom?
Ho sarcastically remarked that when
a member of the house knew enough to
hurl In the face of the majority of the
house ihe chcarge that they were
covering up and protecting crimes, "he
ought., to know enough to make some
statement that somebody, somewhere
had committed crime." lie declared,
amid much laughter, that since
the references to the postofflce report
in the house, the democrats had gone-
through a series of "agonizings.
• Why are you opposed to an in-
vestigation," inquired Mr. Dearmond.
"For the manifest reason-' said Mr.
Grosvenor, "that the department has
been thoroughly investigated. All the
wrong doing has been laid bare."
Mr. Grosvenor said this had been
shown by the convictions In Washing-
ton. Baltimore, New York and else-
where. "And." he said referring to
the St. Louis boodle cases, "so far as
we know of there is no ready made,
willing supreme court to set.'at liber-
ty everybody who should be convicted.
Democratic applati.se followed an In-
quiry from Mr. Dearmond as to
whether Ihe gentleman would endeav-
or to "provide one if the statute of
imitations is found to be insufficient. '
Mr. Grosvenor, facing the democrat
it side said:
"Your entire clamor ami your libel
ous attacks have been based upon noth
ing but a deliberate purpose to tar
nish the administration of your gov-
ernment in the interest of party poli-
tics."
He assured the democrats that if they
would come in with a single charge in
writing that somebody had committed
a crime in the postofflce department
and had gone unprosecuted "they will
have an investigation instantly."
Branching off <>n the tariff he call-
ed Mr. Dearmond to state what ought
to be changed In the tariff. "There
will be no ten of you" lie said "that
will name the same Item, no live ot
0! you that, will come within 50 perj

her American flag, another Hag. with
an inscription testifying to the genius
courage, skill and patriotism of the
president.
•Haven't you forgotten something''
Inquired Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York
Mr. Grosvenor convulsed the house
when he replied after hesitating a mo-
ment:
"i have forgotten more than you
know."
Not perturbed by this retort. Mr.
Fitzgerald asked If there should noi
bo added to the inscription the fact
that the American people was heartily
ashamed of the way they got the Pan-
ama canal route.
Mr. Grosvenor replied that "sev-
eral little people, got that way. and
so did several big people."
He challenged the democrats to come
forward now "and fool with ihe very
weapon that has destroyed a number
of great men of your party already.
And he added amid laughter there are
many others on their way to the grave
1 yard." He believed, ho said, the peo-
ple understood the president to be
genius and a man of great power and
unlimited patriotism, and the demo-
crats could not name an affirmative
act of his that was not done right.
Returning to the subject of the re-
publican party and Its policies, Mr.
Grosvenor said it was so united that
there, was not a man on that side of
tne house who could not In an hour
draft a platform that would be unani-
mously adopted at the coming conven-
tion.
Looking over to the democratic side, ,. . .... .
