or NJ york and Groesbcck of Ohio
against il. ,....a -.
those who framed the Constitution as con-
sn;rstors. and would not vote to sanction
fisnd and gross outrage upon the rights OF
The people of Kansas. He looked upon
The attempts to ostracise and brand as
traitors and rebels those who will not bend
the knee to power and lick the hand rals-
ed to whip them into submission as inde-
cent. He (MarshalD had high respect
sor The President, but he was not spaniel
Mr.. Hughes, of Ind.-Who has made an
attempt to establish a test to read down
every Democratic party.
Mr.. Marshall-It is done not uneon-
sc;ously by the present Administration and
by the organs Of the Administration and it
is known throughout the country that the
test of Office depends upon whether mans
conscience and Judgment sanctions this
thing or not.
nj. Lawrence-Does the gentleman
know how soon after tomorrow he Will be
excluded from Democratic caucus!

the party.

arrayed himself with higher standing than
tbs member from Illinois.

rambling speech, peculiarly bitter in its
character, and lower than the usual stand

logue with Mr.. Marshall about flies, said
that the Black Republican party was the
dirtiest substance of political chemistry ev
er produced. Laughter.
