Mr. LAWRENCE, of Pennsylvania. I am lad the gentleman has asked me that question. ow, I venture to say and I have not seen the record, and do not know whether there is any or not that there is not an honest Union man in western Pennsylvania who signed any remonstrance against the late marshal. No charges were or could be preferred against so turn and upright a man, respected and loved y all who knew him. But there is a little cabal or clique of 3 or 4 men in Pitts burg, in the district of my colleague, [Mr. Moonns.iii] who cannot control 20 votes in any ward orborough in the State, brought this influence, with the aid of leadin Democrats, to bear on the President; an I now make the prediction that notwithstanding that attempt to break down my collca e in his own district by removing some of his purest and best. friends, he wificome back here to the next Congress with as large a majority as he ever had before. Those few men, “ sore heads” we call them there, are men who always want Offices from any party that has them to give. I hope the President will deem it properand right to withdraw the name he proposed for marshal from the Senate. I am certain the President has been deceived in regard to that man, for he would not inflict such injustice on his loyal friends in western Pennsylvania men who sustained him so cordially and so effectively. I have always been treated kindly by the President personally, and always expect to be. When he makes a.mistake he allows me to refer to it and if I make a mistake I am willing that he should refer to it, if he does not do it in aseech on the 22d day of some month. [Lang ten], Now, Mr. Speaker, I had not the slightest intention when Icame here today of saying one word of what I have said. I have a speech here on the tariff, and on the subject of protection to wool. You told me that I could not get the floor next Saturday, but thatimight get in a speech today, if I would hurry up and get it ready. So I went home yesterday, and being a hard working man I sat up late last night and got up early this morning, and about concluded my preparations for a speech today on the tariff. Now, I represent a district that is more interested in wool growing than any other district in the country, not even excepting that represented by my friendfrom Iowa, [Mr. GRINNELi.] who has shown so much interest in wool this session and I believe my own county has more and better sheep than any other county in the country.
