Colenel Gordon spoke for perhaps half an hour and when he had con- eluded Senator Dq)ew addressed the chair, saying he had never heard or read any speech as impressive as the one which had just been delivered. In Homoly Phrase Without Gesture. were 'frequently lntu'rupted by ap- plause and laughter. The galleries were well filled and the occupants of Qm joined freely in the manifesta- of approval on the floor. Childhood Reminiscences. - Beginning with -the statement that the deadlock in Mississippi had been broken and that Mr. Percy had been chosen to take his place, Colonel Gor- an said that he wented to express his ings towards the senate before re— t-nm‘ to his home in Mississippi. He then. told how, when five years old, he was presented with a toy board which was ohecked over -with different ob- jects, some of them good and some of them bad. One of these objects was the capitol of the United sum- and his mother told him, he said, that if he would be good and would Mve a s corréct life he might some day hope to sit in the seat of the big man who was pictured there. "Bh.nemluddfldmonne.-ndl ew that what she said was true. I big helping me, I got there yesterday,” re- ferring to the fact that for a time yesterday he occuvied the seat of the presiding officer. Sorry for the Millionaire. - *“I was born =z multimillionaire,” said Colonel Gordon, “but I mnever was happy until I got rid of my surplus meney. I spent much of it on my slaves and the rest of my funds I spent Ifke a gentleman and got rid of the entire encumbrance. “I have listened with interest to the speeches here, and the more I hear of them the. sorrier I am’for the aillion- aires. Why, if there is a fellow in the United States that I am sorry for it is Rockefeller, because he has more mon- ey than anyone else. That is his mis- fortune. He can’t go on the street 'with one of his grandchildren unless llmque Fammfl _ Venerable Minisa_ifipinn‘ Styi Good Bye to His Collugneq With Whom He Has Servad for ibe Past Two Months —Senate and Galleries Listened With Rapt Attention. he is afraia that someone mi kill him. Why, I know that he loves one of those children much better than he loves all the money he has got. Thinks Rockefeller a Good Man. -"l thlnk Mr. Rockefeller is a good see his employes speak well ot‘hhn, and I am told that he never had a strike. I am told also thaet he has given much money to churches and education. -Now, I don’t suppose that everybody will like thdt; but those who don’t like it can put it in their pipes and smoke it. TId. like for Mr. Rockefeller to come down to Mississip- pl and run his pipe lines through my land.” He could have right of way for all the lines he sfor I know that in my time coal-oil has been re- duced from forty cents to ten cents per gallon.” War Days Recalled. ‘Referring to the fact that he had been a confederate soldier, Mr. Gor- don said: “I fought and bled, but I didn’t die. However, I skedaddied fre- quently.” He then rclated some of the exploits in the war and of how he cap- tured Gemneral Coburn of Indiana and General Shafter. Shafter, he said, tired at him five different times during a confederate charge <without hitting him. He admitted that on more than one occasion . he was “skeéred,” but said that whenever the union and con- federate soldiérs met they were always good friends. Asserting that he loved the negro, he declared that he Wwanted Mason and Dixon’s line obliterated from the map of the United States, because ke did not want any more strife. “A few ‘blab mouthed’ people down our way talk differently,” he said, “but they are so insignificant that they are not worth cussing; they are not worth wasting invective on.” “This is the finest body of men that I ever associated with,” he continued, speaking of the senate, and he beamed upon his colleagues. Loves the Colored People. Again returning to the negro ques— tion, he said: “We don't want to hurt the ‘nigger;’ “why, I love him, and to convince you that I do I will, quote from my own poetry concerning him.” He then read two of his poems in which strong personal sentiment for the colored people of the south was expressed in Thymes. Invites Seriator Heyburn to Visit the Old Piantation. Referring to Senator Heyburn's re- cent protest against General Lee's statue being allowed ~ to remain in Statuary hall, Colonel Gordon invited Senator Heyburn to visit him on his plantation, and said that he was sure that after the Idaho senator had seen ‘h his spectacles he hat to Lee as he, Gordon, was willing to doff his to Grant. .
