VOL. 1, NUMBER 122.
VERY SENSATIONAL
SPEECH IN THE
SENATE,
FLUNKYISM ROASTED BY WHEEL
ER. WHO SAYS PAUNCEFOTE
OUGHT TO BE SHIPPED ACROSS
THE SEA.
HE CALLS PRINCE HENRY A
..“LITTLE DUTCHMAN" AND
THINKS IT LAMENTABLE FOR
ROOSEVELT’S DAUGHTER TO GO
TO CORONATION.
Washington, Feb. 14.—During the
debate in the house upon the pension
bill Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky creates,
a sensation It. a speech denouncing
the attitude of the administration and
state department in connection wit!
what he termed the recent exposure
of the attitude of Great Britain to
ward the United States.
Mr, Wheeler excoriated what he
termed the modern disposition toward
“European flunkyism.’’
"Until 1896,' he said, "all Americans
glorified in the splendid isolation of ]
the republic and it determination to |
hold aloof from foreign entangling al !
liances. Lesss than five years ago a
president, agged on by a pitiable
flunky in the state department,
stretched his arms across the seas in
adulation to th* p* ople of Great Uni
ain and today the government is hug
ging to ijs bosom a nation that, since
the battle of Yorktown, has systemat
ically and persistently plotted our
downfall.”
He sneered at the “sboulder-stra;)-
ped, old-lace flunky*.” who were to be
dispatched across the Atlantic to bend
the knee to unit ki e the hand erf ih*
English king, whose government, he
declared, had attempted to form a
coalition of Ruropean governments to
thwart us while we were seeking to
strike the shackles from Cuba. Hon
est, straight b.'wtrd American iij lo
maey. be declared, had given w iv to
Euruoaa <11; loc.ucy. He said lit rs
speeted the present occupant of th
white house. He was, he said, too
straight-forward for many oi his par
t> colleagues, slightly Quixotic, per
haps, and hasty tempered, but bones!
and brave enough, he thought to
“boot out thai n the staL, de
partment who had brought, us to a
humiliating position.”
Turning u. England's war in South
-
Africa, he denounced her tyrannv and
the part we had in it in allowing war
material to be shipped from our
shores. If half that was said of “this
man Pauneefote" was true, lie de
clared, ho ought to be shipped across
the water, and "the sooner th' bet
ter."
Referring to the report that a mtu
ber of the president’s family was to
attend the cor' nation, Mr. Wheeler
said it was perhaps unbecoming to
allude to it. Nevertheless, he said, he
considered it “most unfortunate and
unprecedented, and to be lamented by
every liberty-loving American." It
was but one more link in the chain.
Mr. Wheeler then turned to the
prospective visit of Prince Henry.
Withm a gesture of contempt,, he de
f lared the "European maniacs were
failing over each other" to see the
"little Dutchman” There were thou
sands of Americans following the
plow,” he said "who are as honest and
noble a* he, “Why,” he asked,
“should the American people give
heed to this flunkyism of the present I
administration? We should treat our
visitors politely, but w..y fall down
and worship them.”
The whole house was aroused by
Mr. Wheeler’s philippic. Several
times the Democratic aide burst into
applause. As he was concluding Mr.
#reeve*o ef •hj., asked if Mr.

accorded the Frenchman by Washing
ton.

ceive Lafayette,” replied Wheeler.
“He helped fight for our liberties.
(Democratic applause.)
Mr. Gillett of Massachusetts called
attention to the fact that President
Buchanan, a Democrat, had receive:,
the Prince of Wales.

torted Mr. Wheeler, amid Republican
jeers. “He came in an official capac
ity as heir to the throne.”

nied, declaring the prince came in
cognito and was received and enter
tained at the white house by a Dem
