and hia strikers point to this feet as

As a nutter of frtcl THE BEE has

133 it do < J3 not regard his reelection
tion , amniiy the probabilities , and I do
not bsliovc any considerable number
of republicans will wreck thojr reputa
tions by putting thamaolvci on record
for Paddock for ; ; second term. Ne
braska is a youna ; state , populated by
as intelligent a class as may be fonnd
in any state in the Union. She ia en
titled to bo represented in the U. S.
sanatc not merely by a man of much
higher ib'Jiy than P d-lock pna-
sesaas , but by a tr.au who ,
has positive convictions on !
cvciy Vitring isiuo ; a man whoao' '
record does not give the lie to his pro
tections of stalwart republicanism ,
and his pretentious of'unswerving
fidelity to his constituents.
During tha freuatorial contest , six
years ago , I WAS im active ? nd warm
supporter of Gon. John M. Thayer ,
who had sorrel the state with more
signal ability than any man that haa
over represented ns on ths floor of the
nonato.
I waa opposed to Paddock because
9D percent of the republicans of Ne
braska looked Ui.on him K an apostate
who had b tr ycd the prtj su the
most critical parit'd in ita hinry , by
loagniag with the copperhead democ
racy for f.'lQ&h ends ; t/y becoming a

tendered mo a loan of * ? 10COO , through
one of his friends , justbaforo the sen-
ntoriil fight , to relbvo ras from eerious
financial embarrassment ; while Gon.
Thayer , whom I did support , waq un-
sible to procure a loan for me. Pad
dock's clectii in 1875 was , aa we all
ISUOBa result of chainlighttuup , and
a consolida-i--u < f t-o dfinocr tic vote
in the legislators for Paddock , upon
n pledge on his part to cast hia politi
cal fortunes iritii the democrats , when
ever they captured the "White
House. " TJiat pledge is still In ex
istence , and I may he able to exhibit
it before the legislature ballots for
senator. A written pledge , equally
s treasonable to tao republican party ,
waa made by Piddock to the demo
cratic-delegation "rani Otoe county ,
at whose disp.v-1 ho rilaoed tha feder
al pitronaga of tst o junty. The foil
tcxf of that cnsarkavle document "was
published by 2I jor Uilcombe. two or
three weeks B O.
At the time Paddock vrsa elected I
ivas not aware of this infamous bar-
Uain , and when , Iho day after his elec
tion , the general ajjent of the associated
press requested mo to telegraph" P&d-
dockV political pedifrrco , I responded
thr.tMr , Piulccc'craa a republican ,
ami wodd act ic.7 -r.i with the ad-
niiniitwtfo-i. I LCO wr3ia en editor
ial load rfor THK BEE , lu which Pad
dock's elevation was favorably com
mented oq , and tha psopls of Nebras
ka , republicans especially , Tfcfo as-
Etirod that Mr. Tipton's Euoci ser
would make a creditable representa-
tive , who , being without entsnglit
alliances , would aim solely to legl
hte for the public good. A few da ]
later I received a letter from the sei
ator , acknowledging the generoi
treatment of THE" BEE , and asaurlr
me o ! his warm friendship.
I have said this much to show tb :
I was disyoncd at the outset of 21
Paddock's senatorial career to Md hii
in securing a foothold among repul
lican leaders of the nation , and mat
himself popular with the people of th
itate.
Sx : yeara have ehpeed ; Sir. Pac
dock haa come home to ask an er
dorsement of his eenatarial career e
the hands of a legislature made u
largely of young men who kao
nothing about his Doliticalhiatory , an
precious li lc about hh record es
senator. Many of there niembei
hare come to.Ncbraska since Pad
dock's election , atd very few kno\ \
what a weak , vasoillating and medi
ocre representative Paddock has been
SB compared with men who repreien
other states.
It is for their benefit that I not
give my personal observations of hi
conduct.
During the six yean of Paddock'
senatorial career , 1 have visaed tin
national capital eisjht or ten times
and spant over six months off and 01
in the aimonphbfa of Washington
Dnnng thc e visits I csmo in coutac
with leading men from all parts o
the union , and we-j frequently Bom
'
pslied to apologiz2 for Nebiask'a whei
aiked if auch & light-weight 03 Pad
dock was cat out of our best senator !
al Umber. 1 have compared uotei
with journalists in the reporters' gallery
lory , who are very accurate ganger !
of the calibre of senators , and the pre
vailing opinion exprcsaed among then :
was that Paddock was B sort of polit
ical jnmpinjack , who pops up everj
few minutes , and mikes blaseU su
premcly diiagtoeabla and ridiculous
by flippant remarks and silly ques
tions , just to get his name on ere j
page of The CcngreuJcnil fiscordj
but who , upon tS5 iuoii critical Oca-
' " . .mr , wliBIi vital issnaa ate pending ,
hirns up missing , among skulkcn
in the clo k room. His lamentable
lack of dUcrotion , and natural bent foi
birabt-f-slicg people , ha mide him
: ne laughing stock amons Intelligent
men all over the country.
I pro'iimo neirly everybody fn No-
biaaka rcmcmbtirs Padaosk'o billa to
"locale a naval observatory at KeameJ
and a merino hospital ct Iebra ka
City. On tlia othOr hand , toonsurea
which the < rowing wc3t demanded at
the bands of confcrcn , cither met witn
veiy gingerly support li-om Jlr. Pad
dock , or hia Uowntight opposition.
On t'io Tbnrman bill , re < [ uiring the
Pacific railroads to pay interest on
their mortgaga bonds to the govern
ment , a measure so eminently just
that no honest man could poiaibly ob-
jeit to it , Mr. Paddock's vote ia ro-
cardedftgainstthebill. Onncarlyerery
bill granting subsidies to monopolies ,
or releasing them from chartered ob
ligations , Paadock's voio is recorded
with the tools and cappcra of the mon
opolies. When the bill remonetiaiug
the silver dollar waa pending , whict
wra & measure demanded ba thy people -
plo of hia own btate , nhd the whole
west , Paddock's aclivo Bj-tnpv.hipa
were with Wall stieat gold gamblers.
Se had written out a speech that ho
Intended to deliver against Iho bill ,
but WEB kept from making a fool of
himself br the urgent advice of Sena-
; or Saundera , ? nd finally cast his vote
ror the bill under protest. On many
) f the most Important bills upon which
i ery loyal senator ought to have made
i record , Mr Paddock was either
mred or recorded as absent ( dodging
n the cloak rooms ) .
Paddock's stilwart republicanism is
i coed deal like an attempt to palm
iffa galvanized brass watch for solid
; old. Barring the historic tact that
is wes an Andy Johnson apostate
u upon collision with copperhead dem
erits and when elected to the sen-
to wanted it understood that ho waa
"consorvativerepublican , " and never
iropored to take part in a republican
aucuj , I cannot comprehend how a
lan with his record can lay claim to
talwrrtkra.
A man h usually judged by his as-
Dciates , and Paddock's most intimate
asoclates at Washington , r.nd his
lonitors and advisors arc J. Sterling
lorlon and P. W. Hitchcock. I was
n the floor of the senate during the
selling scenes of the great debate
ver the bill to pension Jeff Davis as
Mexican veteran , when Zach Chan
ter delivered that memorable ten
ilnutes speech that electrified the
lyal men of the cotmtty like the first i
sbel gun fired at Snmter. During '
tat whole debate , in which stalwart
( publicans wrestled like ghnts with
10 conted brigadiers , Paddock was
ittlng back and forth through the
oak rooms , en the democratic side ,
ith J. Sterling Morton and Daa
borhees. The republicans were
osely pre&ssd , and carried aorno of
io pending raotiona bv only one or
"
to"mftiorHy. . Padd ; ck's harloiting
ith the confeds was most , of tha time
sdging votes , and covcral.asa voted
ith Lamar and the otLcr -'ns'-ors ' or
jflerson Davis. The motiro for this
aacheiy was Paddock's anxiety to
feat the confirmation of Judge
rounoo , who had bsen nominated for
venue collector the previous day ,
id he tied tip with the confed brlg-
liers on the Jeff Davis issue in ox-
langa for their promise to defeat
nunse. Judge Crounso had served

WAfcHixoTOS , January 12. See
as the journal bad been read , Mi
Buckner moved to dispense with tb
morning hour , his object being to prt
cced with the consideration of ih
fundinsbtlk
Mr. Weaver , on behalf rtf the great
backers , resisted the motion , but th
morning hour was dispensed will
alter a straggle.
Mr. F. Wood then moved to go Int
committee of the whole on the fund
ing bill > and purposed to limit the dc
bate on the pending amendment in re
lation to ratu of interest tu thirty tnu
ntes.
ntes.Thfa
Thfa was also resisted by the oppon
enta of the funding bill. The debat
was limited , and the houao then wen
into cominitte on the whole , with Mr
OoVertin tht , chair.
The pending a'menduent was tha
pfwred by Mr. Wood to make rate o
interest 3 per cent.
Mr. Wood siid that from what in
formation he had received since tin
bill WEB last under consideration , hii
Opinion was strengthened thai a C pel
cent , bowl eoulii be Ilo * ed if cougresi
Kbuli repeal the tax on deposits. JJ <
believed that the 'qnestioli tif iiplior
wonld be aKSolulely immaterial , foi
the United States would hold the con
trol of the bonds in its hand * .
Mr. Stevenson , , of Illinois , was on
posodtoa'ny legislation wnich wouk
take from the. treasury the option tc
rede sia the bond at its pleasure.
Mr. Weaver , of Iowa , argued thai
it wai idle to say that a 3 per cent ,
bond could not be fl jatnd. The bond
holder had already bsen paid more
than the aggregate of the present na >
tional debt. He wp.ntefl the lowest
rate of intBtesl possible , but he would
prefer to lot the bonds remain aa lhay
are , subject to speedy liquidation.
Ho was opposed to a long time bond
at 3 per cent. , as they were more expensive -
pensive than to redeem the bands at
the present raten
Mr. Oa'car Turner opposed a long
bond , and the depriving the povein-
ment of its option. Ho thought there
ehonld be coupled with the bill a pro *
vision for an income tax , as it was the
only way of getting a revenue from
these bonds. He believed the propos
ition to fund the debt was in the interest -
terest of national banks.
Mr. Randall said ho ros'o again to
advocate with incressed confidence the
placing of these bonds at 3 par cert. ,
with an option to the government to
redeem them at any time after ono or
two . Helnda sta'/etaeut
years. / pre
pared by Mr. Elliott , of the treasury
department , in which ho fixes the
comparison between the market value
of bond" , at the present rates of inter
est , and the 3 psrc nt. bonda. From
the statement thus presented , ho be
lieves that even in an open market a
3 per cent , bond can be negotiated.
Mr. Rindall consumed the time al-
otted , and by a vote the tune was ex-
; ended to an hour.
After Mr. Randall had finished his
ipjech ha was taken to task by Mr.
Efrye , of Maine , which resulted in a
tinning debate , participated in by
eadera of both sides
The debate having closed , the qnes-
ion was taken on Mr. Wood's motion
0 make the rate of interest three per
; ent. , and it was adopted by a vote of
32 to 92. The greenbackers all vot-
d for the low rate of interest , aU
hough they intended to vote against
ho whole proposition.
Finally , Mr. Sanford offered the
allowing proviso to the first section ,
rhich was adopted : i
Provided , That before any of the
ends or notes authorized by tlrs net
re issued it shall bo the duty of the
scretary of the treasury to pay bonds
BC ruing in 1881 with all the silver
ollars of 412 grains , and all the
old over and above S5CCO,009 , now
eld in the treasury for redemption
urposes.
No quorum voted on the above
reposition , but the point was not
iade until it was too late.
Mr. Wood gave notice that ho
onld call for a vote in tha house by
33i and nays.
Mr. McMillan , of Tenn. , offered an
nendment providing for the taxa-
011 of bonds to be issued under the
: t , but it was rejected yeas 67 , nays
r.
r.Mr. . Randall moved an amendment

ithorising the issue of treasury
jtea , acd to make the amount of

is proposition was to make Ilia debt

Fered a proviso giving notice of the

NEW YOKE , Jsnnary 12. 4 p. m.
It can bo aufhoritively budonnced
that a consolidation of the rival tele
graph companies , the Westcrr
Union , the Atlantic & Pacific , th <
American tJnion , has at last been
effected. The final arrangements were
concluded this morning. The rnattei
has been under consideration 'or sow.
eral daya , but a completion of the
necotiatlona was not efiected
until to-day. The details oi
tha consolidation have not bejn made
known io ontside part es in fact , ne
gotiations are now in progress to set
tle the exact terms of th'e consolida
tion. The market price of the stocks
of each of the throa companies has
advanced in consequence of the con
summation of ihe negotiations for a
pooling of their interests.
It is understood that the comblna-
ticn.of the telegraph companies was
effected on the basis of eighty millions
capital for the new company. The
Western TJnion is to have 8 8,000-
COO , the American Union S15COO-
000 , and the Atlantic & Pacific S7-
OCO.OCO. The preasut capital of the
Western tTnion h about $ -13,000-
OCO , of the Ametican Union $15-
OGO.CCO , and of the Atlantic & PaciSc
S14,03DGOO. Thus it will bo seen
that the Western Union geta u scrip
iividcnd of 40 per cent , the American
Onion gees in at par , and the Atlantic
& Pacific i put npat fifty. It is un-
leratood that this movement has been
an ? neered throughout by Jay
Sotild , who to-day o ns a vastly per-
g control of the tilflro * "
