eARFIELD ANSWERED.
Mr.. Muldrow made speech in reply 10 Gar.
felas speech OF Saturday as to the seriousness of
the crisis. He thought that the underlying ques.
ton would be regarded by the people as still more
serious and that 1t was the right of citizen to
cast his ballot unarmed and unintimidated. He
quoted against Mr. Garfield and the Republican
party precedent set by that party In Congress in
placing on the Army Appropriation bill Of 1868
provisions which President Johnson in signing
the bill had protested against, and also preCe,
dent by the same party IN placing on the Sundry
Civil bill of 1872 one Of the measures which 1t was
now proposed to repeal. II, after the Democratic
majority In both houses had exercised its consti
tutionsl right, the President took the responiblli
ty of stopping supplies for the Govern ment, the
responsibility would be on the President and not
on Congress. He hoped the President would not
attempt to coercs Congress. He hoped that in
republican America, the Spectacle would not be

himself between the operation OF the Government
and the p oplA,
Mr.. Chalmers. referring to GarAed's speech said,
The remaI ks made by that gentleman had shown
that he had forgotten the history Of the laws which
II was propose to repea. In tue lat Congress he
had admi ted that bis party had enacted there
laws, and was willing to have them mustered out
of service. In 1877 the Democratic party had
wanted ihe suspension OF military domination,
and they had asked for 1t IN the very same Lam
guage which was now on the Appropriation blll
He deprecated he attempt to blacken the names
of Senator Powell and Reverdy Johnson by saying
that they had bee advocates Of using the army to
keep the pea AT the polls.
In reference pu Garteds statement that South
EN- Democrats OF 1861 threatened ITO shoot the

no such threat. The south had claimed the right
of peacefu secession and had attempted peace.
