The Territories and District of Columbia we're,
howcvcr, differently situated-thoy were not
included in the clll--thcy could give no vote
for the ticket, and he was willing TO admit
them to the floor, but he did not deem it right
to give them q vote in the nomination Of the
ticket.
Gov. Roedcr Of Pa said that much unnec-
essary defamation had been used on this
question No proposition has been made to
dislranchisc any State here. All the North
ern States asked was that they might be put
on am equality with the Southern States. If
the Northern States were duly represented
from only two or three Congressional districts
they would not be allowed to cass the whole
vote of the State All that was asked was

Mr. Black Of Texas said he did not believe
the Republicans would stido the voice Of
Texas because she was an infant child. She
