THE QUALIFIED VETO OF THE PRESIDENT.
Y Mr. Blaine here asked Mr. Eaton what be,
meant by Q qualified veto, and the latter re-
piled that from the debates in the .Constitu-l
tionai Convention it was evident that the
fathers OF the Republic never intended TO
give the President an unqualified denial, OF
all legislation. They designed that when
an unconstitutional bill should be passed
he should veto 1t. Mr.. Eaton said that in
spite OF the sophistry OF the message, the
President tells the people he will use the
troops at the polls whenever he pleases;
and he repeated, in reply to 3 ques-
ton from Mr.. Blaine, that he would
never vote one dollar to pay one soldier
to serve at the polls, he did not care
what other senators did. He further said,
az Mr.. Blaine had read the Constitution
for Connecticut, he would read some for
Maine, aud he hoped the Senator would
read it TO- his nelghbors. It wac now evil
dent that with deliberate purpose Blaine
had dragged Mr.. Eaton up time and again
to confound him and the crowd with the
constitutional learning with which he had
crammed himself for this special occasion;
but be caught Tartar; and lost his temper
\ in attempting to tame him. Said he finally,
.sThe gentleman represents Hartford, that
wanted to nuIIify the laws Of the United
States" so, no." said Mr.. Eaton; Hthe
fathers Of your side OF the House got up

GOVERNOR FEB. VANCE DISCUSSES THE s1TUA
| .f, TON.
Governor Vance got the floora after Blaine,
and asserted. that the reaSon'the South is
solid is because the Republican party made
| it so. He described the constitutional con-
ycntions over which negroes dominated
and told OF the amounts the Radicals robbed
the southern States Of. The southern States
were in the Union or out of it during the
period OF reconstruction, he declared, just
as it suited the purposes and interests OF theil
orpressors. While the Republicans now
abuse rebels who vote the Democratic
ticket, they will take into fellowship any
rebel, whatever may be his record, who
will join the Republican party, and do moi
hesitate to give him office. His speech
which was general arraignment Of The
Republican party, was read from manu-
script. He could not help interlarding il
with an occasional anecdote and hnmorou:
remark, and never failed when indulgine
in these to make his audience laugh.
