Horr] will never forgive me for not saying-I
shall not say that such is the nature of printed
matter and OF education and of intelligence and
of types that it would be impossible to get to.
gcther twenty-seven hundred pages of printed
matter without there being condemnation of
Democracy somewhere between its leaves But
do say that the people day by day examined
that testimony; and when they got through, all
that vast pretense of fraud vanished into thin
air, and the public saw that Rutherford B,
Hayes had not played the knave and that Sam
uel j. Tilden had.
Time would fail me to enumerate all these
matters. bring these up simply as samples
showing what they have done. 1 affirm that
they have not throughout all this Congress
come forward with a single measure which
they believe in. All their noble energies have
been spent and exhausted in attempts to catch
us in some mouse-trap or other. like the bill of
the gentleman from Indiana, Mr.. Hostetler.l
All this arises from the inherent nature of
the collection [laughter] called Democracy. 1
do not mean to say the difference between
their average of intelligence and ours is so very
great, butiI say that difference is just enough
to make us take right positions on an average
and Tor them to take wrongones on an average;
that is all. Laughter
With this picture or panorama thus careful

When In 1860 we came into power, sixteen
States of this Union were black with the fes-
tering curse of African slavery, and over a
vast empire beyond the Mississippi the same
portentous cloud hung black and lowering:
to-day in all this Republic there is not one
man who is big enough to buy and sell anoth-
er.
We found four millions of men slaves, and
we left them all freemen. We found a war
Just becoming fragrant along thousand miles
of border. That war we have brought to
close, ably, decisively, VIGOROUSLY, merci-
fully. If the problems of reconstruction have
proved too much for anything but time, that
universal solvent, nevertheless impartial his
tory will accord to us that we have given to
them the best of honest effort and of patriotic
endeavor.
The finances of the country, entangled and
overwhelmed in the confusion of a great war,
we have brought out of chaos up to the shining
heights of prosperity.
need say no more. These and such as
these are our arms, won in well-fought fields.

Congressional Action Proposed. No Gun
boats Sent to Canadian Waters
New YORK, April 27.-It is stated that Con-
gresham Rice will make report to the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, recommending the
adoption of resolution that the Provincial
Governments have, by hostile legislation and
by violence, prevented American fishermen
from reaping the benefits of the Treaty of
Washington, and that great losses have follow
ed. For these reasons the President is called
upon to take measures to obtain linden. nifty for
those fishermen who have suffered, and to alb
rogate the fishery sections of the Treaty of
Washington at the earliest practicable day.
The Secretary of the Navy knows of no or
ders to send gunboats to Canadian waters, and
the published statement to that effect is likely
to cause embarrassment. Mr. Evarts says he
has not requested the assistance of the navy in
the matter. The reply of Lord Salisbury on
the Fortune Bay affair will probably be sent
to Congress soon.
