that ever sat in that body may not
suffer even in the opinion of those
who do not know him. 1 think every
man in Washington, certainly those
who are acquainted with the events
of the past ten years, look with
amazement upon any attempt to
besmirch General Gordon’s record
as a Senator. No man ever served
his people more unselfishly, held
ins place in the Senate with more
honor, or left il with cleaner hands.
This is the universal and unbroken
'■testimony of every man who knows
(General Gordon as a Senator, Ite-
ipublicaus as well as Democrats,
diis enemies as well as his friends.
Tn the Senate he was above re-
iproaeh, and his private life was one
of marked and acknowledged puri
ty.
HUTTO THE MATTER IN HAND.
General Gordon is charged in a
vague sort of way with ha ving had
some sort of relations with C. P.
Huntingdon. The facts are these:
Mr. Huntingdon a-ked nothing of
Congress. Mr. Thomas Scott,of the
Pennsylvania road, was asking Con
gress to indorse as a subsidy fifty
millionsof dollars of his Southern
Pacific bonds. These were six per
cent bonds, and when indorsed
side on which the strongest lobby
that ever besieged Congress was ar
rayed. When General Gordon op-
r , posed it he did what required great
• courage. Many of these n .a in
both houses favored Scott’s si me,
| and any matt who opposed it un
derstood th?.t be wa-opposing the
most powerful man that has gone
before ihe legislative body in tho
history of American politics.
So much iur the facts ol Ihe case.
The next point is that Hunting
don in his correspond,nice alluded to
G lide:.’., let,. di taken off the
rudrund committee and liogy, of
.M t-souri. having been put on. In
•vriling about this lie alluded to
General Gordon was as one of “our
men.” This allusion was perfectly
proper'and natural. General Gor
don was opposing the Tom Scott
scheme. He
STOOD WITH .11 ( NTI NO DON
in till.-'. Huntingdon’s allusion to
him as one of “our men” simply
meant that he was a man who was
in sympathy with his opposition to
Mr. Stott’s scheme. Just as Mr.
Scott would have alluded to those
who favored liis scheme as “our
men.”
In regard to the proposed trip lo
California, i remember disticlly
why that was proposed. The main
point made by Scott and his friends
was that Huntingdon would never
build the road. They argued that
he could not do on his own resourc
es it hat Sc->tt demanded an indorse
ment of $50,000,'000 in bonds to do,
and that he was simply pretending
to buiid a roa t without Government
help in order to break down Scott,
who was trying to get Government
help, in order to answer this
charge Huntingdon proposed to
carry at his own expense any mem
bers of Congress,« hotlier for him or
against him, across the continent,
and show just exactly what he was
doing, lie was then building his
rc&datthe rate of a mile a day,
ami he was anxious to show tiie
members of Congress that he was
in earnest, that the work was pro-
grossing, and that several hundred
miles had already been built. I as
sume that Gordon or any other Sena
tor who opposed Scott’* scheme
was anxious for those who favored
WITHOUT-ONE DOLLAR
of Government money there
were other ScnatO's equally pure
who contended that the Govern
ment should lend its credit to Scott
and secure the building of this road
and yet I ean say that I nei'er
heard the motives of Senators on
their side impugned during the
whole of the struggle, nor since. ]
do not believe it was ever done, ex
cept by some vile lobbyist, whose
fee depended upon the success of
the scheme in which he is en
gaged. Certainly no such charge
was ever made against Gordon
and his colleagues of that day, and
hi* successors in the Senate and the
members of the House and all who
are acquainted with the national
legislation of the last ten years will
testify without a single excep
tion, in ray opinion, that the South
never sent a man to Washington
who bore himself more honorably
or illustrated his people better than
John 15. Gordon. If there was ever
a whisper against his perfect of
ficial integrity or his purity in pri
vate life it was uttered and died in
tli circh s that were below reputable
notice or recognition. Ho lived
here as most of the Southern Sen
ators have lived, in poverty, that
was honorable when we consider
that it was endured in the midst
of such temptations as have never
assailed legislators before or since.
Virginia.
General Gordon. I have written it
as justice to one of the ablest and
purest men that ever sat in the
United States Senate., The feeling
it: Washington was intensely bitter
during this struggle. General Gor
don was tireless and dauntless in
demanding that the Government
credit should not he lent to the
building of a.road that was then be
ing built without Government ereeb-
it and that has been since finished
Temperance Arithmetic.
would have made them worth about I jt to take the proposed trip with
180, which would have made the
subsidy sixty-five millions ol dol
lars. Mr. Huntingdon was then
building the same road that Mr.
Scott proposed to build. Hunting
don had not received one dollar
from the Government on that road,
and did not «*k a dollar. Scot:
asked for s'xly.-tlvcmiUious of dol
'd ars Indorsement. Huntingdon’s
light was this: He stated that he
was then building the road Tor
nothing; that Scott was asking six-
ty-llve millions of dollars to build,
and he asked that Congress would
not giveScott sixty-five million dol
lars when lie was ready to do the
same work for nothing.
THIS WAS THE EIGHT I’UltK AND
SIMPLE.
General Gordon was recognized
a* the loader of the opposition to
Scott’s demand for this enormous,
subsidy. He argued that it was a
useless expenditure of the nation’s
credit, because Huntingdon was
then actually building at the rate of
a mile a day, without one dollar of
government money or indorsement,
the very road that Scott was asking
$65,000,000 to help him build. 1 or a
long time it looked as if Scott
would get his subsidy through; but
Gordon’s arguments were simply
a latiswerable and the Scott .-c leme
failed and was voted down.
The sequal has justified the
wisdom and patriotism of General
Gordon's course. Huntingdon has
finished the road that he was then
building, and it is now in opera
tion. It filled every need that
Scott’s proposed road would have
filled and never cost the Govern
ment one cent in money or indorse
ment. It General Gordon had rt-
mained silent, I lhinkno one "ho
is familiar with the facts will deny
that
THE SCOTT DILL WOULD HU E
PASSED,
and that road which Huntingdon
had built for nothing, would have
cost the Government the indorse
ment of $50,000,090 iu bonds, worth
in the market $05,000,000.
This is the fact of the tight. Hunt
ingdon asked for nothing. Scott
asked lor $50,000,000 indorsement.
General Gordon fought this scheme
of Scott’s and it was finally whipped.
Let me take the impossible assump
tioa that General Gordon was will- j be
Huntingdon and get
PROOF FOR THEMSELVES
that ho svas in earnest and was at
work.
Now, these are the facts in the
case. Instead of being abused for
the opposition lie took in inis mat
ter, General Gordon deserve
monument for having saved this
Government from writing its name
on the back of 50,000.000 of bonds to
secure a trans-continental road
that ho then contended would be
ouiit by Huntington without a dol
lar of indorsement, and that lias in
fact already been Guilt. Especially
should the Southern people appre
ciate the fight fed by Gordon against
the scheme of Scott. His road
while improperly called tho South
ern Pacific was ready a Northern
road. It never entered the South
this side of Missouri. Hunting
don’s road on the contrary was en
tirely a Si uthern enterprise. Its
Eastern terminus is Newport News,
and there is not a mile of it built
north of the Potomac river. It was
built without the cost of one dollar
to the Government. Th*. Scott road
if it had been built would have re
ceived the indorsement of the Gov
ernment on $50.000 000 of bonds.
I think it very likely that abuse
of Gordon was heard by two men
front Homo about the hotels at that
time. AS 1 have said before, the
strongest lobby that ever besieged
Congress was gathered there in the
interest of Tom Scott’s scheme. The
hotels were full of lobbyists and
they naturally
DENOUNCED EVERY MAN
who opposed them. The $50,000,000
of bonds when endorsed would have
been worth $65,000,000. The road
itself would not have cost over ex
ceeding $4*1,000,000. Here was a
margin ol $26,000,000 between the
Government indorsement and the
cost of the road. This is surely
large enough margin to have filled
ihe corridors of every hotel in
Washington city with denuncia
tionsot Gordon who lead the move
ment that.crushed this scheme and
kept the hands ot the lobbyists off
this enormous subsidy. But the
• targe or insinuation that Gordon
was influenced against this terrific
and unsrupulous lobby by any mo
tive except the purest is known to
false to every man who was in
ing to barter his influence as a Sen-1 con-
ator, would he not have been found I I ha\ e wrm

The Campaign of Slamlei
The campaign against General
Gordon has resolved itself finally
into nothing bat abuse and slander
against lus personal character.
Major Paeon's friends realize the
absurdity of running a railroad
attorney against Gordon who
stands squarely for the commission
law as it is, or of trying to beat the
most brilliant soldier that Georgia
sent to the war, covered all over
with s arswonat the head of her
troops, with a man who resigned
his place as adjutant early in the
war and came home and became a
tax-in-kind gatherer. They realize
that it is impossible to juggle him
through by packing little court
house meetings. They see that
he has no strength with the people
that will enable him to stand up
against that best beloved of
Georgians—John ii. Gordon. Their
campaign has been a flat failure.
It has fallen to pieces. The pi ople
have “unfixed” what they had
‘fixed” and smothered their little
“cut and dried” programme.
To save themselves from over
whelming defeat they resolved to
overwhelm Gordon with slander,
They have, therefore, denounced
him as a slanderer, a liar, a thief;
as corrupt in public life and dis
honest in private life, as a bribe
taker, and oven as a coward. Crime
' after crime has been charged on
him. It has been asserted that he
had his soldiers shot without trial,
and that the wound on his face was
cut by a swinging limb. Every
species of pettifogging abuse that
malice can suggest or hate enven
om has been written of him, and
the state has been flooded with the
miserable stnff.
These are familar tactics to the
people of Georgia. Time and again
have they been rebuked and stam
ped upon. The little “ring” of
intolerant place hunters that is
slandering Gordon is the same that
hunted Alex Steph ms to his grave;
it is the same that vilified Colquitt;
It is the same that pulled down
Boynton; it is the same that has de
nounced and traduced McDaniel; it
is the same that threw its murky
shadows across the glory of Belt
Hill’s life and sa 'dened with its
poisoned venom his last years. It
was Dr. Felton, who now charges
Gordon with corruption, who charg
ed Ben Hill as being corrupt as a
Senator and who said he was so
ashamed of Senator Hill’s course
that he would have denied being
from the same state if he had been
asked. This is the sort of men who,
having defamed Hill when he was
living, now strike with slander the
gallant Gordon. -
General Gordon is a man of cour
age and integrity. He never did a
cowardly or dishonest thing. His
life is gallant, chivalric, generous.
In war and in peace he has been
illustrious. Wherever Georgia
called him he has served her in
honor and fidelity. The man who
insinuates that he ever did a cor
rupt or cowardly act utters a slan
der. The people know it is slander.
The men who issue it know it is
slander. General Gordon’s whole
life—on the field, in the -Senate, in
his home—proves that it i* false.
He lights above the malignant pet
tifoggers who traduce him, as men
of great souls and stainless livss
have always done. And theses an-
ders will roll away from about his
character as the clouds roll away
from the mountain tops. The mal
ice that failed to necioud Ihe int-m-
oryof Hill and Stephens will fail
to stain the character of John B.
Gordon.—Cunaticution.

The third section prohibits any cor

A gentleman who is familiar

by some of the experts that the dis

down the oil market and carry
down with it the Standard Oil Com
pany, one of the strongest monop
olies ever built up in this country.
Further reports from the Egyptian
oil field will therefore be watched
very closely by politicians as well
as the speculators. The Standard O.I
Company is to-day as powerful a fig
ure in the field of politics as in that

picture. This is made more attract
