WAsniNOTOK, D. 0., 8opt 20.?The
galleries of the house were veil filled
this morning in anticipation of the
opening of debate on the bill to repeal
the fodera! election laws. There was a
particularly hea-'y attendance in the
Ions public gallery opposite the speaker's
chair which is known as the "black
belt." The massing of negroes in the
callories indicated the great interest
they manifest in the result of the present
straggle. The two weeks debate on
the Tucker bill was begun by Mr. Tucker,
the author, of tho bill, who openod
1 or the Democrats.
In a few words he explained the provision
of the repeal bill. The first
proposition to which he invited attention
was that the power and right of a
citizen to vote is not given by the
United States, but is reserved by the
constitution to the states. If the pow?

supervisors and deputy marshals permit
them to perform acts not prescribed
and granted 111 the constitution,
then the law that creates them is unconstitutional
States alone can make
conditions of suffrage.
The United States, Mr. Tucker vent
on to say, had not conferred the right
of suffrage on anybody. Decisions of
the courts sustaining this statement
were read. That boing the case, if the
United States could stop in, challenge
votes, lay down conditions of Buffraae,
it involves the power of the federal
government to destroy suffrage in the
states. 1
Mr. Tneker then proceeded to pay
his respects to John L Davenport,
whose atrocities,' he said, were more
infamous than those of the duke ol
Aloa.
"The repeal ol theso laws," aaia Dir.
Tucker, in conclasioo, "will wipe awav
statutes that have caused clashing between
the federal government and the
states for thirty years.
"I belong to a party that is not sectional.
Tod," he added, addressing the
Republicans, "have lived on sectionalism.
You have violated the pledges of
your fathers, have overridden the constitution,
have denied the right of
habeas corpus, and in a thousand ways
shown yourself nnworthy of public conlidence.
Therefore, on November 6
lost, you were overthrown, and we are
now to undo those things which you
did in the arrogance of your power.
Prolonged Democratic applause
greeted the conclusion of Mr. Tucker's
speech and he was warmly congratulated
by his colleagues.
tub republican side.
Mr.- Johnson, of North Dakota, who
was in charge of tho debate for the Republican
aide, presented the minority
report of the committee as embodying
bis views.
Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, was to have
replied to Mr. Tucker, but a sudden ill- i
ness prevented and Mr. Brosids, of
Pennsylvania, was selected to take hiB
place.
Thero was a ring of the old war
echoes in his speech. Ho appealod, he

Authority was obtained either by
force, lot, or conaent Consent is tho
only manner in which authority is acquired

After the war conditions aroge
that were a menace to the liberties of a
weak race, struggling with nd^r born
rights and responsibilities. Those in
the south who had the power took and
held it against the weak. Under the
new regime we had to protoct those
whom wo had seen fight loyally and
gallantly for their freedom. To hare
surrendered them naked and defenseless
would have been a reproach to the
national honor and have evoked the
deserved censure of the civilized world.
Mr. Oompton, of Maryland, wanted
to know why this doubtful power of
political supervision had not been
evoked before the war. Because, replied
Mr. Brositu, the fathers nevor
conceived the foul means you would
use to dispossess citizens of their rights
of suffrage [Applause ou the Republican
side].
No one else being ready to proceed
with tho debate a motion" to adjouru
was made, popding which delegate
Fiynn's Oklahoma resolution calling for
information from the war department
regarding the actions of mllltory when
the Cherokee strip was openod was reported
back to the houso. Delegate
rlynn got the floor and had read
copious extract* from the newspapers
recording the outrages of the military
and many letters bearing upon the subject.
Among them was n latter from a
Congregational proachor of the name of
DeLong, of Arkansas City. Some of
tho newspaper extracts wore very
'overe in crtttalsm of Secretary Hoko
Smith.
Mr. Flynn said he proposed in the
near future to ask for tho passage of a
resolution to investigate1 this matter
Irom the time whon the Oherokees
were olloted land down to the present

raised and the house adjourned.
IX THE 8E.VATK.
Senator DttboU Spring* a Sensation, Which
la Laid on the Table?Mr. Stewart Continues
Bli Attack on the President.
Washington, D. 0., Sept 28.?When
(he senate met this morning the repeal
men were caught napping by Senator
^towart, who observed that there was
no quorum preeent, and questioned tho
propriety of the senate proceeding.
Sonator Harris, of Tennessee, an ar<lent
silver man, was presiding in the
absence of Vice President .Stevenson,
?nd the president pro tem promptly
ordered a roll eall, although the foarnal
i" 'V ' ' ' .
had not yet even been read. Bat thirty- i
five senatora responded, lata than a [
quorum. t
A stay of proceedings wu necessary c
until members strolled in one by one to 1
a sufljeleot number to conatltnte a i
quorum. i
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, then pre- t
tented resolutions adopted at a moil i
meeting held at Cleveland, Ohio, favor- i
inn an investigation to ascertain t
whether senatora are interested in na- i
tional banks, railroads aud other apeclal c
interests favored or fostered by legisla- I
tlon.' He expreaaed the hope that the
investigation would be had and that \
the rumor ao prevalent might bo set at t
roet that national bank stock had any- 1
thins to do with the demonetization of 1
silver. !
Mr. Duboia (Rep., Idaho) created a i
sensation by oQering the following res- I
olution,. which went ovor until to- 1
morrow: i
"Whereas, several sovereign states are t
without fall representation in the t
annate to which they are entitled, there- t
(ore be it,
"Haolvtd, That the consideration oi !
legislation relating to the federal elec- i
Hon laws, tariff and finance matters i
which materially affect the partially c
unrepresented state! be postponed in t
the senate until Monday, January 16, 1
1804, to enable the states of Washing- r
ton, Montana and Wyoming to have the e
votes, influence and protection in the
senate which are guaranteed to each t
sovereign state by the constitution of J
.the United States." 1
The resolution was laid on the table c
?yeas 27, nays 10. c
The repeal bill was then taken up, t
and Mr. Parkins began to speak against 1
the measure. c
Be said: "I am a sincere beliaver in
the use and coinage of both gold and
silver and I do not think it wise states- r
manship to disparago either by the I
agency of a force bill. t
"If wo commit this country to the I
gold standard alone we inevitably in- t
crease the burdens of the mass of our I
people, and unjustly enrich a select c
number or class of investors at the gen- o
eral expense. s

with a due regard ior tbe greatest good d
to tbe greatest number and your con- r
templated repeal of the objectionable t
clause of the Sherman act will have a 1:
new force and meaning from Maine to I
California." t
At the conclusion of Mr. Perkins s
speech Mr. Stewart resumed the floor, t
He read from a paper an article on the t
President's alleged rebuke to tbe senate.
ii
Mr. Palmer (Dam. Ills.) asked wheth- u
or it was consistent with the propor re- ii
latlons between the senate and the 0
President to road in the senate grave a
charies against tbe executive for which ii
he (Mr. Stewart) would not be respons- I<
ible. t
Mr. Stewart said it was consistent for
for him as a senator to defend the sen- ?
ate when the press said the President s
was rebuking/the senate and calling o
senators criminals. "Let his friends
deny that he has used patronnge to con- t
trol legislation," said Mr. Stewart "Let c
them make it clear how tbe sentiment c
of Congress has been changed, and how t
an overwhelming majority in favor of ii
free coinage in Oongress has been t
changed to a gold monometallist majority."
j s
INTERESTING COLLOQUY.
Let them make it clear that patronago
has been given to all Democrats j.
alike without regard to their positions T
on the silver question. Let them deny 0
the charges in the papers. f,
Mr. Palmer wanted Ur. Stewart to in- j,
dicate a single instance in which the T
President had employed patronage to *
control a senator or member of the ?
house.
"Why, my dear air," said Stowart in a f
patronizing way, "these charges ham ?
boon made in the public pross, thoy
have beon brought home here, and be- '
fore I indicate any one will yon deny ,
that patronage haa been given to those :
who will support the administration '
measures?" ?
"If the senator himself, npon his r
own responsibility as a senator," replied 11
Mr. Palmer, "will mtke a charge of that
sort, I will confess it. if I believe it to
be correct, or I will deny it, but tho
idea that the President, or his friends, ?
are to deny the'charges made against
him in the papers seems to be most 11
astounding. ' P
Mr. Stewart reiteratod that the o
charges had been made in tho papers, s;
It had been claimed that the power of *
the administration would be used to
pass the repeal bill.
"We see before ns the result," sold
lie. "Wo see a majority in Congress 1
for free coinage melt away," and then
he added quickly, "let us have a committee
to investigate." [Latfthter.] ?
"Will the senator name a single son- r
ator whom he knows, or belioves is in- ,
fluenced by tho patronage of the Presl- '
dent," asked Mr. Palmer. p
"Does the senator want me to make a
personal matter of this, and dwindle it \
down in this way 7" asked Mr. Stewart, 2
and then, as if disgusted, "Oh, pshaw 1"
He asked Mr. Palmer if he would vote j
for a resolution authorizing an invest!- g
nation of the question. [,
Mr. Palmer said he would when Mr.
Stewart would make a charge against 1
any senator or member of the bouse. ]i
"I do not want to confine to one sen- j
ator or member," said Mr. Stewart. ?
amid laughter. "Investigate them if
you dare." v
"I will," replied Mr. Palmer. "Whenever
the senator brings forward acharge j
against an individual in the senate I
will vote for an Investigation." q
"When I moke a criminal charge
against a particular individual" said j
Mr. Stewart contemptuously, "the sena- 8I
tor from Illinois will allow it to be in- 2
vestlgated, but he will not protect the
honor of his executive-in denying these j
wholesale charges against a tenator."
LOIS OP tflXD. j
Mr. Palmer wanted to ask another n
question but Mr. Stewart "declined to ai
be intiarrnpted by that kind of stall. I ]i
will not make pereonal charges when
the air is fall of them." k
j "They are very windy," Mr. Palmer
managed to insert.
"Yes, thoy are very windy," repeated 3
Mr. Stewart, but they-blow d?wt?upon I

irticle from the San Francisco Examiner

President Mr. Stewart closed his T
pooch for the dar with a dispassionate
ndictment of England as a monster

down the interests of several atates r
ind territories that claimed to direct I
he legislation of Congress and whose
rolce had been heard last week on the T
last front of the capitol rebuking tbo

Mr. Morgan rose to a personal ex>lanation.
Beferring to the article in
he New York Times of Monday that no
lonorable Democrat could listen to that
>art of Senator Stewart's speech criticiing
the President and continue to act
arith him in obstruction to repeal "aness,
as we fear is the case with Senator
Morgan; he is so impiaiuble'^and uneasonably

Ur. Cleveland upon some of his choice at

Mr. Voorhees then roso and said: 10
"I desire to supplement with n few

nma has said. I was very glad to bear f

Democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio, dpened the campaign In this
part of Ohio with a largely attended
meeting thla evening. He wa? assisted
by that eminent free trader,
Hon. Frank H. Hurd, and to all
appearance), the meeting partook more
of national than of state issues, and lir.
Hurd, who spoke firat, aaid among other
things: "Not always bavo my irieod
(Mr. Neal) and myself agreed upon all
quostiona oi Democratic policy, bat
upon the question of free trade weare
one. A cowardly committee at
the last convention which nominated
Grover Cleveland had not the courage
to declare for what the Democratic party
demanded?free trade. Bilt the fact
that the Democratic party was firmly
and unalterably opposed to the-principle
of protection, which ia a plunder
and a fraud, would not have bean pub

Mr. Neal's speech was the lets.interesting
of the two. Mr. Neal declared
he was in favor of blmetalliim and immediate
tariff revision. The McKinley
tariff, he said, was a robbery of the
people and should not stand.
Mr. Neal proceeded to arraign tne
McKinley administration, charging It
with corruption and general maifeas;
eanco and upbraiding it for increasing
the bonded indebtedness of the state to
the amount of $30,000,000.
