Republican leaders passed tbe word te tbelr

piece et demtgegulng la going e "make tbem

thev take the aeldler te be a pack of feels.
Very aeldntn ba It happened In tbe history
of Oangresa tbat nearly every member et tbe
Ileuee wa In hla neat during Iho last week
of an expiring Congres. Tbrce hundred
member answered te their namea when the
vole waa Uken en the paage ever tbe preal

roll. Ol the eighteen paired aud uet voting
nna half were lu their anal.
Tbe Republican, (lading that tbe veto
would be sustained, fur political effect voted
mildly agalnat It, Tbe Ihlrty-alx Democrat
wbe voted with tbem were from different
part of tbe country. When Mr. Helman
voted a "yea" there waa a hunt of applause
en tbe Republican side. 80, tee, when Mr.
Randall, In a clear, Arm voice, alie voted
agalnit the president' veto the applause waa
renewed and continued. TUe grtnitc! sur

New Yerk, voted no.
Tee aallsrle of tlie Heuse were crowded,
the aisle paoUed and the doorways Jammed
with people. It wa expected the beat
peakera in Ooegreaa would take part In the

disappointed.
The acrid tongue of Oenerat Bragg, wbe
poke In defense of the veto, provoked a
streagand interesting spjecb freui Oeueral

the discussion.
Mr. Oonger, of Iowa, thought that the re

wa a complete anawer te tbe president's
by -Sile crltlclam en tbe measure. He
crA.. feted upon tbe action ottbe president
In vetoing tbe pending meaaure yet signing
tbe Mexican penslnu bill, aaylng that ha did
net tbluk that the patriotle people "were
ready te Indorse ucb an action ur commend
tbelr cblef ruler for taking It.
Mr. Warner, of Missouri, said that the
question presented waa whether tbe Heu.e
wnnld stand by the brave men of 1 50 1 and
1843, who were dependent en tlielr dally
labor for support, or by a president who re.
fuml teelgn a bill which would take the old
aeldler out of tbe almsheuse1). Tne country
abeuld blush te see one of the least of lu
defenders the Inmate of a county peer house.
Mr. Hragg, of Wisconsin, Mid that the tlmn
bad arrived when the pension question
should receive morn than actaual considera
tion. Tbe people et the country withent re
gard te party had every reason te be thank
lul that tills bill had been presented te an
executive wbe had hackttene enough te meet

Mr. Bragg tbeu priK-oeded te analyze the bill
and point out what be regarded as It vitally
evil features. It would, hesttd, grant pen

wbe were found there wero tbe rueu who
had come from them and who when they
left tbe army had lapsed Inte Uieir old condi

tbe peer heusa. The men who went there
were natlre there. They had no self-respect,
no charaeter, they lay down and opened
tbelr mouth for a teat te suck.
He knew gentlemen wbe had committed
themselves day after day In opposition te the
principle of tbe bill and were grateful for tbe
veto. (Cries of "Who are they I")
"I knew what I am talking about," sld
Mr. Bragg. "1 have beard tbem." (Re

and, though without adding te tbe noise and

in ordering tbe clearing of tbe galleries, gave
vent te tbelr feeling until tbe oleao of tbe

Mr. Utajg declared that the press of the

Mr. Werner, et Oble, Mid that no elasa of
men abeuld be mere grateful for tbe veto
tban tbe veteran Midlers who went Inte tbe
war In 1601 and stayed there until they bad
achieved incces. Tbl bill would net reach
man in a regiment of these wbe went out In
1801 and 1M2. They would net become tbe
beuetlclirieaet Ibis act, but tbe pension roll
would be degraded below the loel of pau
perism. Tne bill Bet a premium upon pau
perlein and Improvidence.
Mr. Morrlseo, of Illinois In my term of
efHce 1 have veted for every peuslen bill pre
sented. In thla time thn pension roll has
grown from 9,000,000 te (80,000,000 a yi-ar.

Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, commented en tbe
fact that every gentleman who had spoken
In opposition te tbe bill, save one, bad voted
for ft originally. There must li some re,
son for this. A large number of tbem, like
himself, terminated their official Uvea en the

(Loud ebeera sod Isuguter en the Republi

I deny the right," he continued, of tbe
gentleman from Ohie (Mr. Warner) and the
gentleman from Wlsoensln, (Mr. Bragg), te
speak for the Orand Army et this country. I
tell yen that while thee gentlemen pnee did
oecupy honorable plaeea in tbe Orand Army
and were everywhere received, yet they are
looked upon te-day, when they rise In tbelr
plaeea and denounce tbelr old comrade a
vagabonds and setuipa and Ibe aeum of hu
manity, as nined let Arneld was. (Renewed
ebeera aud applause en the Republican aide).
There waa a time when Benedict Arneld rcue
along the line and when he met with the so se so
elsliu of braveaeldlery everywhere. In tbe
light of tbe telegram from tbe grand com
mander of tbe Orand Army of tbe United
Htstns, General Falreblld, wbe tells us that

man of the committee (Mr. Matsen) whether
he ha In his pocket a petition signed by
Orover Cleveland, and asking Congress te
pass a service pension bill te put all aeldler

Mr. Matsen, or Indiana, closed the debate.
Ue had been asked whether tbe president
had ever signed a petition asking that a Ten
sion be Rrauted te all soldiers el tbe war. He
bold In hi hand a petition drawn up In 1681
which was tee long te read, ltwa numeri
cally signed and In substance asked that m
pension of at least 1$ a mouth be granted te
all honorably dlsebrgud soldier. It con
tained this endorsement :

Th Exciting Contest In the Indiana Lrgtsta
tura for Speaker of the Saaat.
The Senate chamber at Indianapolis, lnd.,
waa carefully guarded Thursday morning by
the force of doorkeepers, snd even members
of the body bad difficulty In eflectlng an
entrance. There waa a tremendous crowd In
tbe lobbies and much fetllng. At the hour
et nine o'clock Oreen Smith rapped the
Seuate te order, whereupon Colonel Robert Robert
eon, wbe bad been admitted te the fleer,
started toward the cbslr. He waa met en
tbe step by an asMstant doorkeeper who
told him be could net come In. Tbe
colonel replied that he was the pre
aiding etllcer el tbe Senate and must
take his seat and stepped forward,
wben the doorkeeper repelled him te tbe
feet of the stairs. Thereupon he steed In
front of the clerk's desk, and stated that be
had be9n elected lieutenant governor of tbe
state, aud by the constitution waa presiding
elllcer et tbe Senate, and be demanded bla
seat. Tbe point or erder waa raised that none
but membera et the Seuate could take up the
time et the body, which Smith sustained,
and called upon the doorkeeper te remove
blm from the chamber. The doerkooper
approached Robertseu, took bis arm, and
the two walked out te the main deer. Tbe
crowd saw Robertseu come out, and there
wss great excitement He mounted the
steps iiud made a speech, reciting what
baa transpired in the chamber and
cautioned the peeple te de nothing that
would InfrltiKO the ivaoe and dignity of tbe
Senate, or that they would regret In cooler
mementa. Tiis ended tbe trouble, and
Cel, Robertsen passed out Inte the hall of
the Heuse, whlli body had net yet met.
During the excitement about tbe Senate
de rs three el tbe senators attempted te enter,
and bal dllllculiy. Hjnater Johusen, et
Wayne, deneuueed tbe doorkeepers, and
during the melee aunmber or persons from
the iuslde approached tbe deer, among tbem
heuater McDonald, wbe put up hi bands.
Jehnsen interpreted It as an attern pt te put
him back, uud utruck the senator en the
face.
Senater Demette was ordered into bis seat,
and wben the seiiteant put blm down threw
him te tbe fleer. The Republican senator
started te fellow Robertsen out of the cham
ber, but were net permitted te leava lhey
at quietly In the rear et the chamber, tak
ing no part lu the proceeding.
When the Ueuse waa called te order, bill
en tbelr paasaice were called up, and one bill
wa passed. The speaker announced that
whnn the lieutenant governor was presiding
in the Senate according te the constitution,
tbe fact of tbe passaae would be cemmuni
cated te that body. Thla was received with
gi eat applause. He bus Instructed tbe door
keeper uet te admit tbe secretary el the
Senate te thn ball, In order te frustrate any
