HOUSE.
Washington, February l4-McKin-
ley presented u telegram from Cteve-
land, detailing the destruction occa-
stoned 10y the Ohio foods, and recnm-
ineDding congress To Increase to ST.
600 600 the appropriation for relief of
the sufferers Referred.
The house resumed consideration of
the contested election case of Chalmers
Va. Manning.
Bedford spoke in opposition to the
admission of Manning, the interest, he
SAID, of political morality and political
decency. In these election cases, the
Republican party had committed bis
tering outrages only equalled by the
outrages committed by The Democratic
party. IL was time for honest and
honorable men to determine these cas-
es, rs AN upright judge would deter
mine cause before him. On two oc-
caslons, the Democratic party, by brute !
force and political power, had seated I
Chalmers, when he was not elected, |
and now 1t practically refused to seat |
HIM when they confessed they had no
cause.
Randall said there seemed to be great
among the members of
,he committee on elections and that
he disagreement has spread through
he house, as to the pun ose of the
house in referring this matter 70 them.
I was clear that somebody ought to
epresent the second district of Missis-
ippi. and while he conceded that the
of the committee had acted
airly, honestly ard to its b;st juig-
nent, he thought il to be far wiser and
more satisfactory tina this question
'hould be recommitted under the reso-
ution of Mr.. Curtin. No injustice
WOULD be done either party by this ac-
lion, while delay TO d, eide the prima |
facie case would work injustice to the
people of the second Mississippi dis.
trict.
Hepburn and Lowery supported the
resolutions.
Hart considered the doctrine which !
the minority upheld, that the certifi- |
cate must be accepted even though it |
be dripping with fraud. as offensive |
and Insulting TO the American people. |
He would never vote to seat man |
under certificate when the certifl- !
cate was issued in disregard of
court and by trampling under foot
every sense of equity, decency and !
justice.
Pending discussion, the house adj
lourned.
