I'a liter Asks Question.
At this Juncture the first Interruption
occurred.
If came from Senator t'aynter of Ken
tucky, a member of the committee and
supporter of It views. He asked the New
York senator to specify some-of the wit
nesses he would have called that wore not
summoned at the instance of the Tribune.
Mr. Hoot said he would have compelled
the attendance of the cashier of the Hoist
law bank to aliow the financial operations
conducted there In connection with the al
leged bribery; the "Yarboro Bros., who are
supposed to have been present at some of
the Interview between Brown and White";
Governor Deneen and Speaker Shurtleff.
In regard to Governor Deneen we were
told that he could -testify only in reference
to the question of accuracy," said Mr.
t'aynter.
men, reaponaea air. itoot, "you are
still folk) wing the Tribune as If that paper
were the guardian of the senate."
Admitting that Mr. Shurtleff had been
called Mr. Root said that his testimony had
been merely of a formal character, whereas
owing to the fact that he waa cloaeted day
and night with. Lorlmer, he should hav
been questioned most carefully.
Turning to the testimony before the sen
ate, Mr. Root undertook to how that even
though Incomplete, It did not Jusify the
committee's conclusion. (
Democrat Avho Voted for I.orimer.
Mr. Root, told of a democrat member of
the Illinois legislature who admittedly had
gone to Shurtleff room which were oc
cupied by Mr. Lorimef,-to arrange about
federal patronagd and rapidly passed to the
connection of Lee O'Neill Browne with the
case." This 'man was declared to' be Mr.
Lorlmer a chlel agent, - a. fact which rest
on the testimony of Browne himself, and I
not the aubject of dispute". he said. The
senator'' then undertook1 tb ' show that
Browne nad been instrumental In procuring
tb thirty d?nocratio fotea cast., for Lorl
mer. ' ' T. - .1 ,
Speaking of the' action of the democrats
who followed the leadership of y Browne
these motives were
of thoHe democrats and were not apparent
to his party colleagues
Describing the two meetings In St. louls
of Browne's followet In southern Illinois,
about whl-h It was testified that at the
first each member participating as paid
H.KO. and at the second meeting, held on
July 1&. each wa paid Mr. Root said
that the testimony of witnesses differed.
The New York senator showed that
thiee witnesses testified to recelvliw
each and one witness. Representative Wil
son, who was charged with making the
payment on behalf of Browne, denied that
any money waa distributed.
Wlllson' Testimony Hldleulrd.
Mr. Root ridiculed the testimony of Will-
son that thl morning was held (or tne
purpose of discussing the question of Rlv
ing a banquet for Browne and pointed out
that the two men were indicted on charges
of perjury before they would admit that
they had been present. The senator said
that liorlmer'a lawyers tried to shut out
all testimony concerning the .lulv meet
ing on the ground that the gathering wm
for the purpose of distributing a legisla
tive J'Jackpot" which had no connection
with the election of lorlmer.
"Back of it." exclaimed Mr. Root, "cor
ruptlvn having been going on so long that
minds had become accustomed to it. men
in the legislature had become so calloused
to the intciulty of it they Joked about II.
They nicknamed their corruption fund as
admitted by Mr. Lorlmer's own lawyer."
Mr. Root asserted that "it wa perfectly
Immaterial" whether the seven "tainted'"
vote disclosed by the investigation were
deducted' also from the 202 votes cast on
Joint ballot. The latter method, he said,
would still leave Lorlmer a majority.
'-'What difference does it make?" he de
manded, "whether Lorlmer money wa
used to give Lorlmer a majority or to re
duce the totar-vole when either is ac
complished by means of corruption.
"The argument of supporter of Lorimer
is that If the 'tainted' votes are deducted
from the Lorimer vot of 108 they should
also be deducted from the total vote of 202,
which would leave the total 196 votes, of
which Lorlmer would have Itll."
When Mr. Root concluded Senator Hole,
the venerable republican enate leader, as
serted that ome one should come to the
rescue of the state of Illinois and say
whether the arraignment of her name and
fame had been warranted.
Hnlley Defend Illinois.
Tteplylng, Senator Bailey said that if Mr.
Roof proposition were accepted then there
has not been an honest election In Illinois
in many years.
Mr. Bailey went o far a to say that
mr. .uiiom. wno - nas served Illinois so
ably for many year, wa elected by such
legislature as Mr. Root described. Although
declaring that every one acquitted Mr. Cul-
lom of knowledge of corruption, Mr. Bailey
said If Mr. Root' proposition affected
Lorimer it affected Cullom likewise,
