the Confederate cause. aud that he had no

10 tell II. He detied them TO announce IL.
lie taun'ed them TO an avowal OF It,
| AZ this Dointa message was received from
the President, and Mr.. Lamar yielded 10 a
| motion 10 go into executive session, which
motion was rejected.
Dir. Dawes hoped Mr.. Lamar would now
impress upon his side the importance os
considering tho pending resolution.
Mr.. Lamar reiolued by iUQuiring whether
the senator from Mas achuselts thought that
the removal Of the Senate officers was as
important as filling vacancy in the Supreme
| Court, which was not now in session by
| reason OF that vacancy. X, snming the thread
OF his speech, he described the divisions in
the Democratic party in Virginia. The
Republican side OF The chamber bad
proclaimed its readiness TO combine with
what the country ellS the repudilling
wing OF the Democratic parry in Til-
gina. 1t had proclaimed that when
any section Of the party should bolt G@om
| the Democratic party under the banner OF
! reputation The Republican party, not on
accOant OF reputation, but In spite Of it,,
was wiling To cmb,ace that repud,AtiDg

Ike did not believe that the northern people
would stand this thing. He quoted. from
| Senator Don Cameron's speech that bbe Re-
publicans were struggling for something
higher han offices that they intended 10
try and break up the solid South. The
| coming political contest in Virginia was a
thing for which this Senate was he'd here In
blockade. The Democracy OF Virginia
Snewed this repudiaiing element out Of us
mouth and the Republican organization re-
fused 10 receive the 0flIl which Republican
senators now eagerly snarcheG at. Thi:
was only an attemDt To substitute in the
South for carpct. bs9I>m backed by Federal
force the Tepudiains element backed by
Federal patronage. The Republican party
could not purchase q foOtlOld IN the South,
but 1t could secure Standlng there. Let The
party purify Itself aud quit aOl>iu2 the
South, and II will attract southern men.
Mr.. II0ar took The floor 10 reply, and rid
iculed The idea OF Mr. Llmar'> criticiSing
the Republican parry I r allying Itself Win

Mr.. Dawes denied the statement made by
Mr.. Lamar that bc knew the northern peo
pie better than the senator from Ma-Sacnu
sel;>. The People Of the NOrih would moi

Mr.. George inquired the name OF tb'

that though The Senator from MasSachCsett
