would show the gentleman a case Of remoYul on the
ground he had referred to- but that he supposed tie
gentleman aware of all the circumstances. lie
could refer to instances in his own district.
Had the gentleman from New York Mr. (Granger)
retained h's share Of the spois," probably he YOU'D
not have broken out into such nvective against the
Executive. lie meant dsrespect to the honorable
gentleman for personally he entertained kindly feelings
towards him.
Some gentlemen had discussed the question before
the House, the HOUSE Of Representatives had alltho
power Of the Government. If it was designed BY The
Constitution that the House alone should enact laws,
why all bills sent to the Senate and the Pres.
dent for their concurrenceP Was the signature of bill
by the President mere matter of formi Was he bound
to sanction every measure presented to hint
The advocates of this junior tariff bll--thiS twelve
line, or half an hour measure-had said that it had the
sanction Of the people; that was the essence of the
popular will; aud that in yetong it, the President had
shown dsrespect to the will of the people, as expressed
through their representatives. The President ha
thought had as much right to say that he was acting
in conformity TO the will Of the people as Congress.
That the majority here msrepresent their constituency,
we had evidence from the ballot box, at The recent elec
tons throughout the country. There was not reason
able doubt about the fact The people might have vot.
ed the Wings into power 10 la4O but they had right
to change their opinions, and the result Of the eec,
tions showed that they had changed.
1t was strange, passing strange, that gen~
tlemen in discussing the important principles
Uf bill like this, could not do so without re-
proving the Democratic party. The Demo-
cratic party have had to answer for what were
called the sins Of The Executive. Whilst the
Wings had all the distinguished Offices & posts
Of honor. and nearly all the patronage Of The
Government, they still persisted in charging
the Democratic party with an attachment and
hankering after the spOilS. He Mr.. wy
took occasion 10 say that he had NOT been an
applicant for Office from this Administration,
and would not accept Of any within i.s gift.
Yet, he believed that the President was actu.
| ated solely by the desire 10 advance The inter.
est of his county. For this opinion he might
be called friend OF The President, and his pc
culiar advocate. But he cared not He should
soon 90 to the rich valley Of the Ohio, & there
make his appeal to The intelligent people Of
tina. country. Ifhe should be put down, he
should take more pleasure il going out Of
| Congress than he ever had in coming here.
He referred 10 the various charges made a
ganst The Democratic party, who were called
Jewellers, agra rians, barn-burners, &c. He
disregardcd these charges, because they were
brought against every man who dared to raise
his voice against exclusive legislation. II the
term Loco Foco meant one who opposed the
confeHing on some men powers not enjoyed
by others, he was Loco, dyed in The wool.
II maltsred not what expectations were applied
to him ss politician.
The wings came into power. flushed with
their extraordinary success. They attempted
to carry out tho odous measures Of 1891.
But (said Mr.. W.)..you will be driven from
the high places Of The land by The people
Their sovereign power will send you back tt
the retirement from which you ought never Ia
have come, Laughter.] You have yet Il
settle your accounts; aud "a new set Of books
will be Opend." (Laughter,) You will fin
that your names are not recorded among III
elect Of Heaven. [Laugh,er.l According
to the calculation which he (Mr w. ha
made, about 12O members now here, will q
the first sessionofthe next Congress, be il
the shades Of private life. The seats which 20
occupy and know so we'll, will know you n
more. (Laughter.) You played few "fan
tastic tricks before high Heaven" but you wi
soon have 10 return to your constituents for
