One is about as unfair as the other is llibe.

One is about as unfair as the other is illibe-
raj and crazy. -. 49, -
Mr.. Frye replied that one was colonel in
the Confederate service, and not a CARPET
Dagger from Ohio. One was the peer OF the
gentleman from Kentucky In that service in
the South. o. the other he had nothing 10
say. >.
Mr.. Blackburn said he had. He had this
to say Of the other: He seemed to be more
perfectly familiar with the history, antece-
dents, and merits OF the other than he cared
TO be. He then said that the article was an
act OF gross injustice, to which the gentle
man from Maine, to bis utter Amusement,
bad sought to lend bis high authority.
Mr.. Frye replied that be had heard the
speech of the gentleman from Kentucky
when 1t was made on the floor of the House
and taken down by the Associated Press re-
porters and sent all over the country, and
said that he had not q scintilla Of doubt
that the construction which this paper put
on that gentleman's language would be put
upon it i'll the South. 1t was not he
who was to be called to account for any,
thing he bad repeated to the House; that it
was not illiberai or unjust to the gentleman
from Kentucky for him TO state TO tine House,
not his own words, but the words OF the
paper published in mississippi, endorsed,
as it is, by scores and scores OF papers in
the South. He disclaimed any intention Of
injustice to the gentleman from Kentucky,
and did not think the personal relations eX-
listing between them would lead that gentle
man for moment to. suppose that he would
make an attack which could iniure him.
He could say in his heart, from the utter
anceS he had seen in the papers Of the
ftot 1oIia hot mt Tarn
from Kentucky had uttered on the floor the
no less, he would have commended himself
to nine out OF every ten Of the Democrats
south Of Mason aud DiXon'S line.
Mr.. Blackburn said that he wished the
gentleman TO understand the issue distinct
", that he stood by The record made in the
House, and wished that Mr.. Frye and his
colleagues would &C: as fairly. The words
which he uttered were stronger than
reported in the Record, and that
there was no dispatch sent by the
Associated Press which warrants the gar
bling to which his utterances had been
subjected by gentlemen on the other side,
and by that emissarv gent amongst his peo-
pie What Inducements were offered that
emissary to make his home among people
whom he persistently seeks 10 misrepresent
be was not prepared to say. Possibly The
gentleman from Maine could tell. Whether
the forced contributions levied upon the
Government employees constitute the motive
which led him 10 the work which seems to
answer so good n purpose, he did not know.
He did not take Issue with the gentleman
from Maine when he says that the man is
bis peer, or was once. Tha! my or may
not be; but he only meant to say that in
81, s.,s, MI ran rn-
scntation made. be had not shown himscli
superior to the gentleman from Mnlne TO-
day.
Dir. Mckinley, Of Ohio, here came into
the controversy, which was continued for
some time: after which, Mr.. Price took the
floor aud argued against the repeal OF the
election laws.
At 4:45 2. NJ. the House adjourned til
