nels of business. The millions absorbed by
coin bonds must go out once more to make glad
the heart of labor. What the people wanted
was bread. not blood.
Mr.. De La Matyr spoke in the same vein.
Down with the peurile cry of revolution raised
or cormorants on the other. He had no language
to utter his supreme contempt for IT.. The
country wanted peace, not the reopenlng OF
sectional strife.
At this point the committee rose, and the
session of Wednesday ended and that of Thurs
day began. The House then went into COM
mittee of the whole, Mr.. Blackburn in the
chair, on the legislative appropriation bill, and
De La Matyr continued his remarks, and when
his time expired, Mr.. Weaver moved that it be
extended. To this Mr.. Hazleton objected.
which call,d forth the remark from Mr.. DE
La Matyr that he submitted, although his party
had had but one hour allotted to them in this
debate.
Mr. Joyce stated that he had heard in this
debate men who had been disloyal to their
country prate about the constitution and lee
ture the Republican party about the freedom
oflelections. He had seen them
RISE UP AND HOWL
about soldiers at the polls. When bands of
armed men in the South took possession of the
ballot box, stuffed it full of tissue ballots, and
killed men who would not vote the Democratic
ticket, delicacy should not be laid aside, and
men of the North should resent the insult and
again hurl defiance to treason and modified re-
bellion. The people of the North had no con-
cessions to make, but we're determined that the
great principles settled bv the war should be
preserved and enforced at all hazards and at
any cost, and the men who in 1861 had
Barred THEIR BREASTS
to the bayonet were ready in 1879 to again
stand in the breach and protect the constitu-
tion from the treason of those who were now
seeking to destroy the government under the
form of law.
MIR, ONeill denied that in the execution of
the election laws in Philadelphia single Dem
ocrat who had a right to vote had been de-
prived of that right.
Mr.. Randall asked why, in view of the fact
that the railroad riots of 1878 had been quelled
by Mayor Stokeley without federal interfer-
ence, $50 deputy marshals had been brought
promise of being conducted, and which was
conducted as peacefully as possible.
Mr.. ONelll admitted that Mayor Stokely had
quelled the riot with 1900 Republican police
men before troops had been sent to Philadel
phia.
Mr.. Randall ask the gentleman whether
he believes in view of the experiences aud
power of the mayor, that there was the least
occasion for bringing 75O deputy marshals into
Philadelphia.
MIR. ONeill-Some of them were appointed
at the request of the Democrats, and all the
supervisors had been appointed at the request
of Democrats.
Mr.. Dunnell argued as to the constitutional
power and duty of the President to veto meas
ures of which he did not approve, and Mr..
Turner made speech in defense of the Demo-
cratic side of the question.
DE LA MATYR AGAIN.
Mr.. De La Matyr again obtained the floor
for the balance of Turner's hour and conclud-
ed the speech which he commenced in the
morning, charging that legislation since the
| war hac been altogether in the interest of the
wealthy classes and to the prejudice OF the
poor, whose slavery he said was far more intol-
South before the war. There were ominous
indications that efforts in the direction Of
ENsLAvING THE PEOPLE
had been carried to the very verge of the line
of safety. It was the purpose of the National
party to avert the danger.
Mr.. Hazelton denounced the Greenback rep
resentatives for the "fol de rol' in which they
had been indulging. He said that they appeared
to him to be prepared to stab the national credit
and honor, and that their speeches were like
| the chattering of some maudlin individual at q
funeral. One of them Mr.. Gillette, had told
the House that the country was going to the

Mr. Deuster inquired if the men who ha
been arrested in New York by Davenport be
longed to the class to which his colleague re
ferred?
Mr.. Hazelton replied that he had no doub
some of them did.
controversy then arose between Deuste
and Hazelton, the former denouncing and th
latter defending the action of Davenport in Ne
York.

can party to arouse
