Tornado of Debate Shocks Senate in Partisan Clash
Washington June 5 A storm of partisan invective swept the Senate as Senators Hanna Pettigrew and Carter clashed over charges about shipbuilder Cramp and campaign funds. Hanna denied knowledge, Carter denounced the claim as a lie, and Pettigrew asserted direct authority from Cramp. The session featured harsh language, adjournment prep, and a night session with debate on pensions and public building funding.
Senate clash over Cramp contributions sparks anti trust debate
A heated Senate exchange centers on claims that the Cramp shipbuilding firm contributed to the Republican fund in 1882 and was promised warship contracts. Senator Pettigrew and others accuse Hanna Carter and Cramp of graft, while Hanna and Carter deny any such promises or contributions. The debate touches on campaign finance and anti trust legislation as the Senate adjourns for executive session before resuming work on naval and Philippine related measures.
