mated colored soldier for one of the
clerks, whereupon the Democrats must
needs show their love for the soldiers
whom their allies in the south wounded
during the Democratic rebellion.
The following is brief report of what
followed:
Mr.. Hitchcock put in nomination for
Engrossing Clerk Mr.. J. S. Tyler, of
Franklin.
Mr.. Thresher nominated Silas E. Crow
ell, of Montgomery county. Mr.. Thresh-
er in answer to a question said the gen.
tleman put in nomination had not been
consulted in the matter.
Mr.. Monahan said he was glad to learn
that the gentleman had not become a
sore-headed Democrat
Mr. Hitchcock said he was glad there
was disposition on both sides to vote
for Republican soldiers. The gentleman
he had nominated, Mr.. Tyler, had gone
into the army so soon as he was permit
ted by the laws of the State. and had
served during the balance of the war,
and had received the encomiums of his
commander, and had been a true and
| faithful soldier.
Mr.. Drummer cited resolutions adopted
by the House favoring the appointment
of disabled Union soldiers in preference
to all others.
Mr.. Hodge asked the gentleman from
Wyandotte if he voted for the resolu-
tion2
Mr.. Brunner-l voted to lay it on the
table. Laughter on the Republican
Mr.. Converse said that he undertook
to say that the reason the man was nom-
| mated was because he was a colored
man. The reason it was done was that
there were not more than three or four
States in the Union that the Republicans
could carry without the colored vote. He
had no i'll will toward any one, but he
wanted to bring the matter to a test.
Mr.. McLain said the Democrats had a
chance to vote for a soldier, Mr.. Daugh-
erty. and they preferred to vote for Isaac
Moore who had not been a soldier. They
made a cats paw of a Republican soldier
in the Senate yesterday, and they drop.
ped him as soon as he had served their
purpose Because Mr.. Tyler was a col.
ored man it was not considered a bar
against him.
Mr.. Dalzell said the opposition throw

believe that we stand in hostility to the
manned soldiers. He would say that il
the soldier had come here and asked the
nomination he would have received it,
We know that the Democrats do not
love the negroes-the people they made
slaves and we made free. 1t is no won.
der that they hate the negro, for it is but
in keeping with the fitness of things to
hate those that we have oppressee. In
reference to the wounded soldier in the
Soldiers Home, he would say that the
Republicans had already given him two
positions-a place at the Home and a
pension.
Mr.. Norton had hoped that when the
the debate opened. it would have been
moderate. He then pushed into the
bloody shirt business and declared it the
only stock in trade of the Republican
party. The bounty business then came
in foy discussion, and turned on to rail
road subsidies, and wheeled upon soldier
bounty lands.
Mr. Perkins said that the exhibition
to-day was but simple illustration oi
the entire career of the Democratic par
| ty-always too slow.
A question was asked by Mr.. Hart
! (Democrat) who was first right on the
school question:
Mr.. Perkins answered-We made you
right.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that he had nc
agency in bringing up the question oi
color. 1t was man that he had put in
nomination for position. He was not at
all surprised that the reference to color
had created such a scare on the other
side of the House. 1t had always been
so.
Mr.. Richards said that he was not sur
prised at the professed love of the Demo
Gratis for soldiers. They have sent sixty
Brigadiers to Congress, and they are
there now.
Nj. Groom referred to Governor Allen
as having recognized both political par
ties in making many of his appointments.
He would not say anything against Mr..
| Tyler, but he was an able bodied man.
In the course of his remarks, he referred
to the school law, the repeal of the black
laws, as the work of the Democratic par
ty.
Mr.. McLain asked if the Democrats
were not maneuvering to-day to sell out
the only colored man in Franklin coun-
tyr
Mr.. Rowland said the Democratic par
| ty during the days of slavery had moth
| ing else to live on. We are told the
colored man has no other friends than
the Democratic party. He asked what
party held the colored people in slavery,
and what party endeavored to carry it
into the Territories and all over the
North. 1t was the Democratic party
who carried a case to the Supreme Bench
and a Democratic Bench decided that a
colored man had no rights that a white
man was bound to respect. They fought
against emancipation, and when the Fif-
teenth amendment was brought up on
this floor not Democrat voted for it.
Now they claim to be the true friends of
the colored man. The whole record of
the Democratic party has been and is to-
