tanned that the republican, were right in not
consenting to an organization against the
constitutional majority of the senate.
Debate was interrupted by Mr.. Morgan,
who offered a resolution donounc!ng the
assassination of the czar of Russia and
extending TO the government and people oi
Russia our sincere coincidence. Laid on the
table.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, then took the floor
to continue the debate. He believed, he
said, that when every seA should be filed,
tie senate would be democratic ss il is ow.
IL he was wrong in that belief, be had been
deceived. Thirty-eight members of this
body were sent here as democrats. One
member, Mr.. Davis, of Illinois, was not sen,
here as democrat, but was sent here by
democrstic votes, and in the words OF high
and lofty patriotism and fidelity as q trust
had, ON Friday announced that he should be
true 10 the trust which sent him here. The
senator from New York, Mr.. Conkling haa
stated that the republicans will have a
msiority. How hss this been accomplished!
By whom has that wonderful coalition been
accomplished, in which somebody sent here
"a democrat has been taken and carried oil
by the republican party? While we
have no right 10 act on the assumption
said. we are here 20 vindicate.the honor, in
,ecri.y and fidelity 10 the state, people and
principles of all who were sent here as DEM
ocrsts snd denied that any ono had proven
treacherous 10 his mission. Continuing
Mr.. Hill said he did not blame man for a
change Of opinions, but he ooutended il was
his duty 20 give notice Of that change 70 the
persons with whom he had been associs-
ted. No democrat had given such notice 10
that side OF the senate, and he therefore as
sumed that no such change had occurred.
He denied that any man bad the right 70 NC
cent commission from one party
and execute IL in the interest of another
party. Manhood, courage, fidelity,
morality and respect for the opinions Of
manhood required that when y man hsd
arrived 81 conclusion he could not carry
out the trust which had been confded to
him, Il was his duty 10 return his COM
mission and tell bis constituents be had
chsneed his mind. He did not believe that
. single one Of the ttiriy-eighi men elected
s democoss would bold 10 bis pocket the
commission conferred BY the democrats and
without giving any notice 10 bic constituency
or his associates would exscste that com
mission IN advocacy Of The adverse party.
he denied the right Of The vics president 70
take part IN organizing the senate, out would
not insist on that question. BE
