APPLAUSE IN THE SENATE
The Hartford Courant, in some of its paragraphs on the applause in the Senate galleries at the conclusion of Mr. Foraker's Pennsylvania speech and the failure of the Vice President to do more than warn the offenders, says: We do not recall any occurrence like that in the chamber since the winter of 1901. On the earlier occasion referred to, the offenders against the Senate rules and dignity were white men. They defiantly applauded after they had been admonished to keep still and some of them heard the immediate order to the sergeant-at-arms to clear the galleries. There was a man in the Senate's chair that day who knew why he was there and had the courage of his duty. Vainly one senator and another tried to interpose and intercede. The man in the chair said he would recognize nobody until his motion to clear the galleries was entertained and carried. What's more, he didn't vacillate. The gallery that had insulted the chair were down in front. James was the last man out of them. Mr. Tillman is made of milder stuff and it appears that the Washington Post in replying to the Courant is not familiar with it. The date you name was a bad one. An old Washingtonian can in fairness say many things within the last decade where the occupants of the Senate gallery have broken into loud applause under the inspiration of orators of a summer hal or a winter night. It was against the rules and the pairing of seats was with the offenders hit won't interfere. Manners in the Senate with morals and down change in the early days. None senators jl.. The rule had the hands in it and tradition. They would all mark the day with it. Rights. The : t" 1h The 'lf' wh: ulll .l show l I litk.
