Gruivenor of Ohio supported tho bill In nn
eloquent speech that kept his sldo in nlmost

tho republican party should destroy Itself.
Ho bad witnessed It before, but bo had nover
seen it so zealous as now to avert from the
republican party tho odium and curso of un
outraged public sentiment, (Republican
cheers.)
Ho rorred sarcastically to au editorial

papers which would probably support

God's snko not to do themselves Injury. It
gavo tho "brand of hypocrisy" to tho "whole
