But the Senator ehinks II is great crime for
me TO say that do not care whether they have
it or not. | care Just this far | want every
people 10 have that kind of Government, that
system OF laws, that class of institutions, which
will bes. promote their welfare, AID / want
them 10 decide for themselves and so that they
decide it to suit themselves, am satisfied, with
out stopping 10 Inquire or caring which way
they decide it. That is what l meant by that
declaration, and / am ready TO stand by 1t.
The Senator has made the discovery sup
pose il is very new, for he would not repeat
an7thng that was old, after calling me to ac-
count Tor expressing an idea that bad been
heard of before-that Ire-opened the agitation
by bringing in the Nebraska bill in 1884 =; and
he trles to put The responsibility of The crimes
perp+trated by lis political friends, aud in vio-
Iat,on of the law, upon the provisions of the
law itself We passed bill to allow the peo-
pie OF Kansas 10 form and regulate their own
institutions to sui. themselves. No sooner had
we placed that law on the statute-book than bis
political friends formed conspracies and combi-
nations in The different New England States to
import a set of deSperadoes into Kansas 10 con-
troll the elections and the institutions of that
country in fraud OF the law ot Congress.
Sir, desire TO make the legislation broad
enough 10 reach conspirac;es and combinations
Of that kind and | would also include combi-
nations and conspracies on the other side. My
object is to establish firmly the doctrine that
each State is to do its own voting, establish IFS
own institutions, make its own laws without 10
reference, directly or indirectly, from any ef4!-
side power. The gentleman says that is squat
ter sovereignty. Call II squatter sovereignty,
call it popular sovereignty, call 1t what you
please, 1t is the great principle of self-govern-
ment on which this Union was formed, and by
the preservation of which alone it can be mann
tanned. II is the right of the speople Of every
State TO govern themselves and make their own
laws, and br protected from outside violence or
interference, directly or indirectly. Sir, i con-
less the object of the legislation l contemplate
is TO put down tais outside interference it is
to repress tins ''irrepTessible conflict ;" it is to
bring the Government back to the true princi-
Piles Of the Constitution, and let each people in
this Union rest secure in the enjoyment OF do
mestic tranquility without apprehension from
States. | will not occupy iurth er

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Triumph of The DemaCracy-EIection Of
Mr. Sprague as GOKernar.

Alter one OF the most exciting contests ever
known in Rhode Island, COL Wn. Sprseue
the candidate of the Democracy and H..
Union men. has been elected Governor by a.
majority OF 1900. This splendid victory
shows an astonishing revolution in sentine1,
when we consider that the Republicans carried
The State lasl year by 5,392 ma ority. Follow
ing. Immediately after the great Democratic
gains IN Connecticut, nothing could be more
cheering TO the Democracy of the Union.-
Connecticut shook the solid phalanx of RepubIi
can States in New England. bul RHODE Island
has broken 1t. Glorious Rhode Island She
IS nothing more than a small STRIPPING, but she
has gone TO battle with the Republican Clan,
and slain it.
Thus, on The very threshold Of the Preg;den-
tlal contest, have the Republicans sustained n
serious rePuise in two States heretofore counted
as certain for The Republican candidate for
President. The majority in Connecticut,
dwIndled down from thousands 10 4 few hun.
cred, carries alarm instead of eDcouragemen,
into the Republican camp. And now Rhode
Island has deserted tbem-has defeated the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, and utterly
routed the IrrePressibles. The Republican psrfy
may as we'll close business and make an asSiun-
ment, when it is defeated in New Ensland-
Patriot and Union.

mend ;he platform Of principles adopted by that
body, believing them to BE- emlnently sound,
conservative and just.
ReSotvcd, that the result OF the recent elec-
tons IN Connecticut and Rhode Island, demon
strates most empnatcally that the sectional
and fanailcal dogmas of the so-called "Republi-
can" party, are becoming decidedly unpopular
and that the prospects OF the Democracy are
growing brighter day BY day.
ResotUed, that we have undmlnrsh4d CON-
idence in The administration of JAMES BU-
CHANAN, and that the persistent effort Of
v'ndrcllve PartIsans and disappointed Office
seekers, to blacken the character of our veners-
ble Chief Magistrate, for the purpose of making
political capital against the Democratic party'
IS TOO transparent a humbug to mislead a6y
retiecilng rand, and we look upon it as e
shallow trick of the shalowest of demagogues.

THE TARIFF IN THE STATE SENATE.
Inconsistency of the Opposition"

The leaders OF the Opposition in such parts
Of this State as are particularly interested in
he increase of duties on imports, are in the habit
of making great ado about a revision and re-
construction OF the Tariff. Their object in ma
king this outcry for Tariff, is simply to hood
wink voters nothing more, nothing less
Their abandonment OF the principle of theTar f
of 40, $50 ably advocated by HENRY D. FOS-
TERI their support OF DAVID WILMOT, for
Governor, man whom they had denounced as
'British Free Trade Tory,'' and the reduction
of the Tariff of 40 by their party 10 the Banks
Congress, would alone suffice to fix upon Them
the charge of insincerty. But if further
proofs are wanted, the action OF the present
Opposition Congress and the conduct of the
Opposition members of the late State Senate.
are sufficient to convince any reasonable man
that they (the politicians of the OpPostion) are
not true friends of an increase of the Tariff
Congress has been in session over four months.
and yet the irst effort TO pass the Tariff bill was
made but few days ago. To have heard the
opposition prale about the Tariff, before the last
Congressional elections came of, one would
have supposed that that would be the very first
subject OF Legislation by Congress, if they OBJ
tanned control of that body. But no. The
spols were more precious in their eyes than
the Tariff or Pennsylvania Coal and Iron.-.
They must first dispose of the public --plunder,
and then,.. thought they, it will be time enough
to attend TO the wants OF Pennsylvania. And
now, the rumor Is that the Massachusetts, Gre
Publlcans" will oppose an increase Of the Tariff.
Such is the Congressional aspect OF Opposition
friendship for the interests of Pennsylvania
When we come nearer home, we find the
Opposition members of our State Legislature,
all professedly Tariff men, doing all in their
power to retard the passage OF higher Tariff.
Under the pretenee of recommending such a
Tariff, they strive TO kill it, By making a low

The spring crop of Black Republicanism has
entirely failed. Our exchanges are lined with
accounts of brilliant Democratic VICTORIES
First on the list is the Gland of steady habits
GLORIOUS CONNECTICUT.
in which, according TO the last accounts, the
Black Republican candidate for Governor has
only about 500 majority, Democratic gain OF
over 5000 since 1856, when Fremont and
Fillmore combined, had upwards of 10000
majority over Buchanan. This Is a moral
victory for the Democrats and will enable
them to carry the State in the fall. Next comes
GALLANT RHODE ISLAND!
In whlch WILLIAM SPRAGUE, the
candidate of the Democrats, Is elected Cover
nor, by 1900 majority over Seth Padelord,
''Republican." The Legislature of this State,
is also largely against the "Republicans.' p
Rhode Island has given US victo ry unparal-
lelled in all the annals Of political triumphs. -
For seven years she has steadily and largely
voted with our opponents. In 1856, her vote
stood for Buchanan $3.50; for Fremont, H.
f6I, giving Fremont majority of nearly
5000 whilst last year the "Repubican'
majority, was 5392! Thus, it will be seen
that the erewhiIe solid phslanx of New England
"Republicanism," is broken. Rhode Island
and Connecticut will never again cast their
ten electoral votes for a sectional candidate
For this auspicious result, we have to thank the
conservative men of these states, who masnani-
mousy buried former party affinnies, and like
the glorious Old Line Wings of 1856, enlisted
under the banners otthe Democracy. All hon.
or to :hem for their noble conduct
OF the town and city elections that have re-
Gently taken place, nine out of ten, have result
ted in favor OF the Democracy. We append
accounts Of some OF them.

THE RESULT,

In the contest no quarter was asked or given.
1t was square stand up fight, and the steadv
charges OF the National Democracy caused The
ranks Of the sectioralis;s and abolitionists to
waVeF' and in many places 10 give way. Their
comparative strength is weakened, till their su-
PerioT numbers, only sustained at all by.monay,
false representation, unfair means al the boards
and especially BY forcing laborers TO vote a.
gainSl their own convictions, are no longer
large enough to give them confidence. They
are reduced tojust about an even thing. In
1886 the vote in this State

REMOVAL OF Mr.. PILSBURY.

To the Editor Of Then T. Tyibuas.
SIR: The Tunes of this morning appears to be
soTely afflicted in regard to the resignation of Saperin-
tendsnt Pllsbury from the Metropolitan Police force-a
position he never rightfuy held as his appointment
was both illegal and void. The sixth section of the
act declares that the force shall consist Of Superin
tendent, two Deputy Superintendents, &c. The SOW
erh section prohibits the appointment Of any perHsu
the force not having resided five years preceding
his appointment within the Metropolitan Police Dis
trict. Now It IL a well known aud very easily sub
santiated fact that Mr.. Psbury did not remove from
Albsny into the District until September 1885, conse.
quenlly he will not have resided five years, as re-
CURED by the act, until September 1850 and, if he
had not resgned measures would have been taken to
have tested the legality OF his appointment, of which
fact am led 10 believe he knew.
