THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, May lathe consl ieration
III the legislative bill was resumed, Mr.. Win
dom having the tloor.. He argued against the
nassaue OF the bill, holding that It was the
purpose OF the Democratic party TO coerce
Che pwer ana and
mated In incalculable harm TO the country.
All tha close OF the last session he had asked
a prominent member 81 the Democratic party
Why the extra session was demandedr Why
w, caIld not do as well next year2 The reply
,vas that next year the government would
uniy have four months TO be starved In. Ii the
s,lnplIes are stopped at the end OF the pres
ant fiscal year there will be sixteen months In
which to eoerce the President.
MI. Morgan asked for the name OF that
Mr.. Windum said he preferred not to give
TO- except privately, to the gentleman, but on
being pressed he said II was Mt. Atkins,
ence Cd the legislative appropriation bills.
Summing UP he In a word would say the
Intention Of the Democrats was plain. 1t
was to denatlonalize the nation, to exalt the
old theory OF States rights under the name
OF home rule, and In short to rehabilitate and
resuscitate the lost cause. Mr.. Window de-
voted much time to q review OF Mr.. Hills
speech and the conduct OF the Democratic
party during the war In obstructing every
measure TO put down sra the ,a Teoe9n a,eoc,
devoted to the political situation OF the bill
Inder discussion. HeBaid he would let the past
alone and devote himself to the present and
future. He reviewed the Presidents message
Of , ysnE tne tb s,y snr rpoy s
he had taken as o basis for his arguments In
that document. These arguments, he
thought, would give the country q very poor
opinion Of the Presidents candor. There has
Instance OF the overthrow Of popular liberty
by the employment of troops when II was
not done In the name Of peace. The citizens
right to vote. he said, is derived from the
States alone. This has been. amply
decisions. MIR. Coke said It was then not pri-
MARTY competent for the general govern
ment to prescribe the laws to govern elections
In the States, but more than this the election
must BE- guaranteed ese elections gre g only
tive To interfere with this liberty. OF the clti-
zers liz therefore unconstitutional and void.
These laws. backed as they are by the whole
power Of the government, have the effect 70
the operations OF John |. Davenport In New
York, where 10000 voters were kept from the
polls.
Az Is o'clock the Senate went into executive
session, and at 8 IA p. m. adjourned.
