WASHINGTON*. Feb. IT.-—Senator ^UUV (Pa.) addressed the Senate Mittay in

refutation of charges circulated against

him.

Me said:

"Never, probably, since Alexander Hamilton was hunted to hfc death, has one in public life beeu pursued so persistently and malignantly. The field of the malign effort has been the en tire Union. The as*milts were of a character so moustrous as largely lo curry with them their own refutation. Were It otherwise I could not rcmaiu. nor could my constituents permit ine to remain, a member of this Senate. "Partly to indifference to slander, a weapon which has never a place iu my political arsenal, uud partly by the advice of friends, who urged me to treat the assassins of roputation us uudeserving 0! open controversy, 1 have permitted without comment the passing of the flood of falsehood. Its malodorous waters chance at. this time to be quiescent, and now when no heated political contliet is raging, when neither hope nor fear can be deemed the Inspiration ot aiy utterance, 1 choose briefly to confront aecusa tion with truth. 1 would not allude to this subject in this presence had not members of the other house made it a matter of debato there.

Looking to the future and knowing that the records of this Congress will remain for other generations to read when most of us composing it will be forgotten, I choose for the truth of history aud for that which in dearer to all men than riches to dispel the mist of falsehood with the clear light of fact.

It Is not my purpose to weary the Senate by a rehearsal of each detail of the via of misrepresentation. Nevertheless, avoiding prolixity, 1 will endeavor to make this statement specific and so complete as to be final. If any thread in the fubric of falsehood remains unsovcred It will be because this tissue of lies is so complex, is so raveled with contradiction and olouded with insinuation, that pome insignificant portion has escaped my attention.

The first assertion concerning my official acts is that at some time or continuously between the years of 1879 and ISSi I alone, or act lag with another or others, usM the moneys of th$ State of Pennsylvania for speculative or private purposes. I denounce this statement as absolutely false. In 1*77 the Democratic party of Pennsylvania elected

State Treasurer and an AuditorGeneral. the financial officers of the commonwealth. A year or two later, pending their terms of office. I became engaged in stock operations. In some transactions I wns associated and jointly interested with the gentleman who was at that time cashier of the State treasury. These transitions proved seriously disastrous, and was compelled to pay a portion of his losses as woll as my own. In doing this it became necessary to supply an alleged deticieucy he had caused In the treasury. As a portion of the fund for this purpose 1 borrowed 1100,000 from the gentleman who is at present my colleague In the Senate. 1 gave him my judgment note therefor, with the amount of which note I paid to him dollar for dollar years ago. Not until the beginning of the settlement of our losses was I aware that a deficiency existed, and I had overy assurance that my associate was able to carry bis share of the losses. My oonnec tion thereafter was simply with the aid of friends to raise the necessary funds to supply thQ deficit. "It 18 charged that again I used moneys bo* longing to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to purohase bonds or stock, or lotb, of a Chicago street railway. I was in. vlted by friends in

Phil a delphia to join in the purchase of street rail, way property In Chicago and did so. borrowing the mon' cy upon ray own collateral from the People'* Bank in Philadelphia. I st 00 upon the a me footing wltn the other gentlemen concerned,and

SENA'foli vt* A v. it was a perfectly straightforward busbies transaction aud bad no connection in any way with any public fund or public interest. The charge that securities belonging to the State of Pennsylvania were used in this transaction is false and impossible of truth. The only negotiable securities held by the State of Pennsylvania are the registered bonds of the United States, transferable only on the books of the National Treasury by the Auditor-General, Secretary of the Commonwealth and State Treasurer, acting co-jointly after having filed a certificate with the Governor in their ofilcial character. "Collateral to this last accusation is a charge that 1 defrauded, or attempted to defraud, the widow of a deceased friend. This Is also absolutely false. There breaths uot upon earth rnau or woman who can truthfully say that 1 ever defrauded, or attwmpted to defraud, him or her of a dollar. Upon this point charity to the dead and to the llvlitc forbld§ my making any personal explanation. Samuel GuMin Thompson, a member of the Philadelphia bar and president of the Young Men Democratic Association of that elty._is one of several thoroughly oonversaut with the facts, who can give them to the public if they see proper. "I come now to what might be called tbo fourth ground of criticism of my public conduet. This was my action as a member of the Board of Pardons of Pennsylvania in voting for the pardon of certain members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and others upon whom sentence had been passed for bribery. My conduct in that matter has boon bitterly assailed, and it is proper to say that the facts were patent and by tho people of the State were thoroughly discusssd before iny election lo the office of State Treasurer and subsequently to a seat iu this chamber. 1 had no personal interest in the legislation involved. My vote as member of the Board of Pardons was in accordance with the law and with the action of my colleagues, and was compelled bv the fact that the sentence imposed by the court upon the persons pardoned wasillegiU.

Upon this point the Attorney General of the State filed his written opinion with our decision. I am frank to say that I have uo regrets for that vote and would repeat it under the samo circumstances. Even* had not the sontenoo been unlawful it is my opinion that the ends of justice had been fully served by the conviction of the defendants. One of the gentlemen involved has within the last few weeks received the unanb mous thanks of the Pennsylvania Legis* lature for important services reudercd humauity and tbo State. Incidentally the statement has been made, in some unspecified manner, that I prepared, or attempted to procure, the pardon of a man named Lynch, under sentence for forgery, by threats delivered personally to Mr. Kyers, of Putsburgh. I can not at this day remember the facts on the pendency of the case, but the charge Is a lie, for which there never was the Bbadow of a foundation. "Equally false is the wondrous lyric of my eicapc from the Pittsburgh rioters of 1871 undor the tutelage of Mr. Dalzell. "It Is necessary to pass history somewhat tnclont iu ordor to dispose of the nebulous ohargo of bribery and .corruption as a membei of the Pennsylvania Legislature, nearly twenty* five years ago, in connection with an action fot libel against the then editor of the Pittsburgh

Commercial. With characteristic malignity my assailants have beeu ouroful to emphasize tn

fact that the .CUM- was never pushed for trial. They fall lo say the libel reflected and that the defendants pleaded noti* contendere, paying the costs of the cuss and the fees of the counsel. I "It is "proper also to dispose 0! seme statements upon which less sties* ha-j been laid.

One accusation is that over twenty years ago 1 uttempted to bribe Alexander P. Tutton. then supervisor of internal revenue ii.r the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, to pr« vt nt the seizure of an illicit distillery. This is wicked and malicious falsehood, without excuse ftir its utterance or evidence for its: support Tuttou

LOW living at IJowningion. Pa.. tnd his reports are on file, I presume, in the internal revenue bureau. "A statement has been made that wheu the present high-license statute of Pennsylvania was pending in the Legislature of that Stale liquor dealers of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh raised a stun specified as $Soaii}and gave it to me and to. a Federal officer in Philadelphia who i* not named for the purpose of securing an amendment to that legislation-iu their Interest. This u'.so I denounce as an absolute /alsehood. '"Finally 1 reached achatv.e'hat insomemyn terious way I brought delcat. to the proposed amendment of the constitution of Pennsylvania prohibiting the sale oi intoxicating liquors In that S'.ate which was '..submitted to a vote ol the people others, 1 understand, have already exploded the silly falsehood of the publication from which this charge aru*e and I specifically denied it at the time it appeared My my vote alone did 1 uflect the verdict of the people upou the prohibitory amendment nor hud 1 ever in auy contest any corrupt or unlawful concern with the liquor or any other interest concerned in legislation, constitutional or otherwise, iu the State of Pennsylvania or elsewhere. "1 have endeavored to make this utterance complete, even at the cost of the time of the Senate and the \searlness of

Senators. I have endeavored to answer every specific charge of malfeasance that could be made from a care ful perusal of the muss of direct falsehoods, confused statements. inueudo, insinuation and cunning implication that, with au industry worthy of a betn-r cause, has been gathered together for my destruction. 1 deny them seriatim and in toto. Theyarefal.se and foul to the cure."

As announced Saturday night Kyle's etion was determined on between-. the Democrats niid Independents. This ieeision. it is now alleged, was brought nbout almo-t. entirely through a compact. with the Illinois Democrats ami three fanners, which scheme include* the election of John M. Palmer from that State. Speaker Seward, who went

Illinois to close the bargain, sent .information here which gave tlie Democrats confidence t«» cast their ballots for Kyle to-day. When the result of the ballot became known the'long pent enthusiasm of the Independents broke, loose. Hats, papers, books and other loose missiles went sailrng through Ihe air, and for a moment joy was unconfined. Finally order was restored and Speaker Pro-tem. Howe arose ami declared that John H. Kyle had been elected United States Senator from South Dakota for a period of siv years, beginning March next.

Senator-elect Kyle was then called out, of -course' and made a short address. thanking the members of the joint assembly for the great honor they had bestowed up«»n hinr In deferenec to the. memorial services just concluded on the dcatJi of the great commander. General Sherman, he would not, enter into any discussion of the political issues of the day. He would go to the I'nited States Senate, not as a representative of any faction or party but as a representative of! South Dakota.

A monstrous meeting was held in the opera-house at night to ratify the election of James H. Kvle to tin* United States Senate.
