Mr. AVheuler: "Tti-at is a question that ncbody but the Repubiican leaders and God Almighty will ever know. in my opin? ion. I decline to be interruptod further." A'BRACITY QUESTIONED. Mr. Pugh: "If you wiii only state tlie truth." Mr. AVheeler: "The gentleman certainly does not menn. to irislnuatt tliat 1 state anv'Uhlnc else?" Mr. Pugh continuing: "If you will state tho facts. Yes, I do state that when you state tliat the Kentucky elecilon law ts Identica.1 with the Ohio electlon law, that you uKerly mi3represent that law." ? Mr. AVheeler: "I say it is similar in all respects. and identical iri many. Do I understand the gentleman to say my statement is false." Mr. Pugh: "If you mean tliat to bo true, I say; speaicing advisedly, I will use a miider term and say that you greatly misrepresent facts. I do not sav that you intentionally do it. and I must attribute lt to a lack of knowledge." Mr. AVheeler: "I want the gentleman to be. a little more careful in what he says in this mat-tar. I do nof. care 1o have tihe gentleman insulting in his remarks. 1 Jiope it is not so' intended." Mr. Pugh: "Surely you do not take it in that way. lt is not so intended." Mr. AVheeler: "I did not think so." Having aceepted Mr. I'ugh's disclaimer, alr. AVheeler then reviewed the history of the whole contrpversy s_tep by step. and declared his readiness to abide by the decision of the court of last resort in the gubernatorial Issue. "I do not belifve, Mr. Chairman." said Mr. AA'hceler, "that the Repubiican party of Kentucky is responsible for Uie assas sination of AA'illiam Goebel. T would be -wilUng to leave the State if I thought so. Some of the best friends I have got on earth are Republicans. I am not so gan grened with political prejudice that T am bound to see something bad in a man that does not agree with me on any question (Applause.) Some of Ken tucky's most chivalrous and dlstinguished sons have been Republicans. and they would put behind them with scorn, as would any knighltly Democrat in the State. the insinuatiori that they had stain ed tiheir hands in tho blood of this mag nilicent proiuct of civiliza-tion.

In conelusion, alr. AA'heelex assured the members who had crowded about during the excitement and the p.icked galleries that there would be no bloodshed in Ken? tucky. Mr. Lacey, "f lowa. replied briefly to Mr. AA'iheekr, denouncing the Goebel law as a subversion of the Oons'titulion and necessarily productive of tho anarchy that reigned in Kentucky. He especially complained because it did not provide for electlon commissioners of opposite parties. and said it put a "premium upon crime" and was on "invitation to bloodshed.-' AA'hen he alluded to the throwing out of the returns from Louisville. Mr. AVheeler asked him if it was any worse 'for the Democrats of Kentucky to throw out Louisville than for the Republicans of tlie House to unseat Mr. Young by throw ins out the city of Norfolk. A'a. "The gentleman makes the sehool boy's reply, 'You're another,' " responded Mr. Lacey, amkl laughter. alr. FJhdley. of South Caroiina,' and Mr. Sulzer. of New" York, concluded the debate. At 4:45 P.

The Colorado Senator made an eloquent appeal for' early action upon the Quay case.
