the object being to take up the political
assessment bill, first ON the calendar. Agreed
to: yeas l26; nays lO4. Mr.. b stetter then give
4 tomorrow. when Mr.. Howe addressed the
House in advocacy of the bill. He referred
to the wild and reckless extravaganza which
had invaded the Republican administration of
the government, when with military hero at
it's head and an overwhelming majority in
both houses of Congress, flushed with victory
and Boosting of its conquests, the Republican
party had revelled in all the license of unbri-
died power. Corruption had atalked every
where, but the people had spoken and there
was no mistaking the voice which had called
the Democratic party to the front. Then the
Republican party had appeared to reform and
lad inserted in its platform at Cincinnati q
civil service reform plank which had made q
profound impression on the virgin heart of
Hayes.
Mr. House ridiculed the civil service reform
policy of President Hayes and Secretary
Sherman as carried on in New York by the re-
moval of Arthur aud Cornell fr,.m their Offices
as collector and naval officer. He said Tilden
had cen elected President but the voice of the
people defeated by fraud.
Concluding his speech Mr.. House addressed
himself more particularly to the bill under
consideration, which would remedy a great
evil and eradicate terrible abuse. 1t would
enable the feeblest man in the employment of
the government to paralyze tho arm of the
campaign collector who woald endeavor to
flch from him portion of his hard earned
wages. Adjourned.
