Committee, I shall not deny it; or am I ignorant of the source from which it emanated, nor of the motives which prompted it. But, 80 far ag it undertakes to spoak of assurance by mo as to my future course, it is utterly and entirely un- true, I was chosen Chairman of the Naval Committee because @ majority of the Senate saw fit 60 to do, without tho slightest assurance or intimation on my part, direct or indirect , express or implied, to any human being, a to what my course in any particular would bo, IT was opposed to an improper use of the public money by democrats when they were in power, and am no loss opposed to the same thing now that my political friends are in power.
