country, he had not doubt that the people
Of the South would put the same constrnc-
tion on It that the editor Of the States had
done. In view of the declaration OF the gen
tlessan on the floor he should not be called to
account for citing this article here. He
| intended no personal Injustice to the gentle
man from Kentucky: From the utterances
Of the papers he had seen from the South, he
| believed In his heart that II The gentleman
from Kentucky had uttered on this very floor
the very words spoken by this paper, he
would have commended himself to nine out Of
every ten OF the people south Of Mason and
Dixons line to-day.
Blackburn said he stood by the record he
made on this floor. The words he uttered on
this floor didn't Justify the Misrepresentation
be was subjected to BY the gentleman from
Ohio, or by his emissary In Mississippi. He
knew not why this editor In Mississippi stays
among the people he misrepresents. Perhaps
money collected for political purposes was
used to sustain him In his foul work. He
wouldn take issue with gentleman from
Maine when he says this man was his peer
that In the matter Of misrepresentation he
has not shown himself superior to the gentle
man from Maine today; ,EEAppllause.l
not inserted some words in his speech. Mr.
Blackburn said he had, but denied that the
insertion in any way changed Its effect.
Mr.. Mckinley said the gentleman had his
permission to publish two speeches together,
his own and Mr.. Blaekburn's Ii he desired to
do so.
Mr.. Blackburn thanked the gentleman for
his kindness, but he didn't think he would be
benefited by the association. He didn't com
plain OF a manly, open foe, but he did object
to blow In the dark. Treat men fairly wnen
you quote them, and don't stop at point
where there is not even q comma or SEMI
colon.
MIR. Price, Of Iowa, was then recognized,
and addressed the House In opposition to the
proposed legislation. He arraigned the Dem
ocratic party for what it proposed to do. He
quoted at length from the speech Of Mr..
Blackburn, and said that he liked that open
talk. II told the people what they had to ex
for years that when the Democrats came into
power they would wipe out all the Republican
legislation.
Mr. Steele, Of North Carolina, said that d
few days ago, when Mr.. Frye was speaking.
he asserted that frauds and outrages were al
ways committed at elections In the South.
He asked the gentleman from Maine whether
he referred to North Carolina. and the gentle
man then said he was not prepared to say.
Mr.. Frye, interrupting, said that since
then he had examined into North Carolina
and he was satisfied that that State should
not be exempted. BY and by he would de-
vote SO much time as he could get to affairs
In that State and show 1t up.
Mr.. Steele, in tone OF supplication-
Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us
IGreat laughterl Mr. Steele then proceeded
to argue that all the charges Of outrage and
atrocity In the South were false. He de-
Tended his section, and claimed that 1t had
acted loyalty since they laid down their arms.
At the close of his remarks the committee
