At the conclusion of Mr.. Logan
speech there was quite II demonstration
OF applause in the gallery, when Vice
President Wilson announced that the
rules would be enforced and order WAS
restored.

Mr.. Upton said he felt grateful dur

would have been q great power against
the country. He also felt happy to think
that the Demosthenes died early So that
he could not come in competition with the

He (Tipton) was consolcd with the re-

the Senator would be checkmated in

his friend, would after that time be

Mr.. Surgent-Will the Senator allow

Minnesota Mr.. Windom) felt it neces-

the chamber and helped him Logan to
land the craft. From the length of time
this vessel had been running to-day, he
inferred that the wood was from the

inghuysen) and asked him if he had any
old letter about him, or anything he could
read. Great Laughter.
Mr.. Upton then spoke of the Louisiana
difficulties and said he had copy OF the
testimony taken By the Committee of the
Senate taken two years ago. One of the
witnesses when asked by Senator Logan
where he learned the ballot box stutiing,
he replied he learned it in Illinois and in
the gentlcman's own district. Then
Senator Logan had said he would
argue the Louisiana case from
a legal standpoint. If the gentleman S
notes had been written on legal cap he
might have made some claim to legal
argument, but they were written on
foolscap. lie (Tipton) thought there
was but little due him.
Mr.. Morton having approached the
seat occupied by Mr.. Logan, and whis-
percd to him, Mr.. Upton said; Il
thought the time for prompting had
gone by. | suppose the Senator Is
prompting his friend for another burst.
Mr.. Logan-A burst Of what? have
no idea Of troubling you.
Mr.. Upton then sent to the Clerks
desk and had read a paragraph from
the Washington Chronicle to the effect
that the subcommittee of the House,
which visited New Orleans, had come to
the conclusion that there was no intlml-
dation of the colorrd votes in Louisiana;
that the Returning Board was fraud,
etc, but the report would not be accept
ed. and the whole committee would 90 to
New Orleans. He (Tipton) thought this
one of the most Illuminating facts in this
whole business. The Senator from Hi
nos logan had denied that there was
any oppression in the Republican party,
yet that Senator, two years ago in "
speech, thought there was oppression. He
then read from II speech from that Scna-
tor to the effect that if any Senator
kicked ont of the traces of II little bit
of n republican called caucus on him, and
the action OF the caucus.
He Mr.. Tipton) spoke of the condition
of affairs in the South for several years
past, and said the Republican party had
used the army 10 keep itself IN power,
and the consequence was that 1t was now
in hopeless minority in such representa-
ton, and its power was gradually pass
inp away from it. Mr. Upton then read
from the testimony taken by tn" Senate
committee two years ago and commented
upon the action Of Casey, Kellogg and
others in Louisiana, in calling upon the
President to aid them. He then refer
red to Pinchback and said he believed that
name was applied to jewclry, but whether
it was applicable to solidity, or the cost OF
jrwelry, he did not know. Laughter
The Republicans had lost Ohio, New
York, lndiada and Missouri, and he did
not think now that the electoral vote Of
Louisiana was worth fighting for any
longer, and that it was his greatest hope
of peace. Before concluding his arsu-
ment, Upton yielded to Mr.. C0nklng
who said there was II message from the
President in regard to finance on the
table. and the Senate would like TO hear 1t
read if it would suit the Senator from
Nebraska, to resume his argument to-
morrow.
Mr.. Upton replied that he would pre-
fer to resume in the morning. The mes
sage was then read.
