But the surprises of the day were by
no means done when the shades of night
had fallen on the House. The figures on
the floor were obscure in the uncertain
light between day and night when, by
precoacert, the sepulchral voice of Judge
Kelley struck the waiting ears of the
crowd in those long, measured, melan.
choly accents Of supernatural solemnity
with which this singular man addresses
the House. To the establishment Of
every one he opposed blankly the motion
of his colleague from Maine. As the Wig.
orous denunciations of Kelley attracted
him, Blaine moved nervously in his seat.
Republicans, who had been passing in re.
view and congratulation before the blood
and-bones banner, turned with eager and
angry attention upon this rebel in the
ranks. He reviewed the whole history
of legislation during Is years of his
term. AS his sonorous sentences rang
out upon the House an indescribable
calm came upon the floor and gallery.
The. Democrats, who had been grouped in
the vacant space between the Speakers
desk and Cox, moved en- masse like dim
swarm of hazy spectres, led onward by
voice. The CHASTITY figure of Kelley,s
and dark and tall, swaying to and fro in
the twilight, was the only sign of move
ment upon the floor for nearly half an
hour. A tumultuous, fascinating flow of
mingled history and argument poured
from bis lips. He embodied the peace
and good will of the day as Blaine had
typified the death bed and cross bones of
partyism.
