Elkin's speech.
Especial 10 the New York world j

Especial 10 the New York World
WAsuIYGToN, May 81.
The Territory of New Mexico and IFS
representative, Mr. Elkins won an un-
expectedly easy victory in the House
o.day, the vote on the question of ad-
mission rs a state standing 100 to 81.
The debate was one of the livelicst and
most interesting in the session. Mr..
Mckee of Mississippi, chairman of the
committee on Territories. called up the
bill and made the opening speech. lie
was followed by Mr.. Elkins, the dele
gate from the Territory, who made a
most effective argument. He urged
that the Territory, with good
schools and established state Of society,
- 49, Uvvn developing for 500
years, considerable wealth, and pop.
ulation of 10000 thousand souls,
more than several Of the state already
admitted to the Union aud more than
fifteen other states had when admitted,
ought not to be ignored, aud that the
treaty stipulations which pledge the
government to admit New Mexico at
the discretion Of Congress, could no
longer be set aside. Moreover, on the
ground Of patriotism and devotion to
the Union, he claimed that there was
no people more deserving Of the rights
Of state government and full repre-
sentation in both branches Of Congress.
The Speech was listened to with gem
eral attention. aud Mr.. Elkius was
much congratulated for his able effort.
The principal speech on the other side
was made by Mr.. Potter, Of New York
who called attention to the growing dan
gers to our republican government of
rotten borough state governments, and
of the unequal representation o! the
people in the senate. He thought it
was time to stop the creation Of new
states having less population than j,
required in congressional dis
tricts of the older states
Some remedy must be devised
for these evils or the government could
not stand. Mr.. G. +. IIoar, Of Massa.
chusetts, argued that the majority Oh
the people in New Mexico could not
read and write the English language
they were not really a homegrown.
people, and ought not to be given a
state government. Mr. Kasson, of
Iowa, replied with considerable effect to
Mr.. Hoar that this was not the doc
trine of the Republican party, which
had eniranchiscd the Southern negroes
He complimcnted Dir. Elkins by say
Ing that the people Of New Mexico CIV
identity knew how to choose good
men to congress, however ignorant they
might be Of our language and he claim
ed that the legislatures of the new state,
as well as their public men would com

Mir. Cox in regard to n remark by the
former concerning the withdrawal Of
states from the Union, Mr.. Cox tax.
ing the ground that the right of state,
to withdraw had been forever settled
which was not however the point il

sion was largely due to the personal
influence and popularity of Mr.. III.
