80; The debate on the army appropriation
bill was continued,
The first TO address the House was MI
Singleton, who stated the question to b
whether the House had the courage AM
determination 10 repeal the perniCiou
laws or would falter in its duty to th
country. It must be said 10 the honor O
the present Executive that since his in
auguration no troops had been stationed
at polling places. That was true, and /
must be set down to his credit, but who
could forecast the views OF his successor
and say that the scenes enacted undel
the lust administration might not take
place under the next. In the face OF thu
disgraceful law which it was now pro
posed TO repeal the boasted freedom oI
America was mockery and a lie.
Mr. Weaver deprecated keeping open
sectional animosities. He had been amaz
ed at the gentleman from Kentucky
when he had alluded 10 the hereditary
right OF the Democratic party TO rule this
country, and he compared that party Ia
the Children OF Israel In their wandering
from Egypt to the Promised land. Per.
haps there was some similarity in it, but
the gentleman had mistaken the army,
and It was PhRroah's army he had alluded
to. The party had gottheir Joshua in the
Senate, and their Caleb in the House
and all others had fallen in the wilder.

sides could fight on this issue, and then

over till Monday (bill day. to prevent the
Greenbackers from introducing measures
for the relief OF the people. Laughter. ]
II had been said Of David, after he had
collected materials to build temple dedi.
Gated to peace, that he should not build
that temple because David was a man Of
war; and now it had been said on high
that these old parties should not build q
new temple Of liberty in this country, be-
cause they were parties OF blood, and a
new Solomon must be created to build It
up, and the Lord was raising
that party now. The National
Greenback party wanted no sol.
diers at the polls. Applause on tho
Democratic sidel. Nor did they want the
presence OF any armed men when elections
were being held; neither did the Green
hackers want a test oath for jurors; nor did
the National GreenbaCk party want any
Marshals at elections unless the history Of
elections, after the experiment should have
been tried, would prove that the country
could not get along without them, but he
had not the least doubt OF the constitu-
tional power of the government to pro-
tect the citizens at the polls. Itwas only
a question Of policy and necessity Us to
that feature ought to be re-
tanned in law with the modification that
they should be chosen not from the two
parties, but from the parties having
Congressional tickets in the field
that would give the GreenCack party a
chance. [Laughter.l His party also op.
posed the concentrationofso much power
in the hands Of the appropriation COM
mittees. He wanted to say to both the
old parties [or-he might say to the factions
represented here today that the Green
back party said to them that they could
not make this sectional issue the issue OF
1880, nor for 1879. There was another
Richmond in the field. He would have
