His Speech Urging the appointment of
Clerks for Congressman.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. When Mr. Bedford, of
Colorado, got up in the House this afternoon in
support of his proposed amendment to the rules
allowing each member Il clerk private secre-
tary, at 5000 day, to be paid out of the con-
tingent fund Of the House. there was a broad
grin on the face of every one If Mr.. Bedford is
not funny he is not anything, and he was in his
prime to-day. He was ripe for an ARRAY, and as
he waxed warm in his work members focked
about him and stood bent up like jack-knives,
roaring with laughter and applauding alter
nately, Belford's speech showed him to be
deeply in earnest in his demand for
clerk. He said he could no more
get up at o'clock in the morning and write let
ters all day and be in his seat at the depart
ments to attend committee meetings, etc, than
could any other man or class of men be at three
or four places, or do as many different things at
one and the same time.
After telling how much he needed a clerk he
turned his attention to the Democratic members
of the House. 81 am ashamed of you men," he
said, ito think that you poor starving devils
will sit here and refuse to take that
which is due you, and which you
want and you so much need. Why,
not one of you have either the courage or the
honesty to assert your convictions" He CON

luxury and wealth, you might maintain your
selves but you not, and you are demagogues
when you do as you are doing. Over in the Sen
ate there are fifty millionaires, men who are
amply able to have all the clerks they want and
yet they are given clerks. Here
we are made pack-horses and pack
slaves, and. confound you, you haven't the
courage to look up and throw off the load that
weighs you down" and he moved about among
the Democrats, caressing some, pounding others
the head, and crowding others out Of their
seats. Approaching one old Democrat. he ro-
marked in a manner that sent everyone down as
he patted the old man on the head: Here is an

Defect in the Wording of the Call for the
National Republican Convention.

A Defect in the Wording of the Cali for the
National Republican Convention.
Washington Special.
The attention of the members of the national
Republican committee has been called to the
fact that under the wording of the call for the
Chicago convention it would be possible for a
State committee to prevent the calling of dis
trict conventions. By the terms of the call
twenty days notice is required for both State and
district conventions. But the district convention
cannot meet at an earlier period than fifteen
days before the time fixed for the State
conventions. Now if the State committees should
not issue their call so as to give any greater
margin than twenty days, by the time the call
reached the district it would be too late to call
district conventions Ex-senator Warner of
Alabama, brought this fact to light Members
of the committee admit that the wording is such
as to admit of this sharp practice. Whether it
was shrewdly devised scheme or simply an in
advertence doesnot yet appear. Several Repub
lican senators express the opinion that, notwith-
standing this oophoie it is not probable that
any State committee will dare to thus prevent
the holding of district conventions. If that
move should be made in behalf of any candidate
it would do more harm than good

Alabama by deputies, on the charge of chopping
wood public lands. These men were
often compelled to sell their small possessions to
pay the costs Of the trial They were taken
in some instances more than 100 miles, forced to
turn home as best they could. Some Of the ar
rested men died for the want of food and from
exposure while walking to their homes. Their
families also suffered having disposed of means
for acquiring sustenance to pay the costs of the
trials by the arrested parties. Instances were
cited when the examiner, investigating offices of
government officials, was threatened. n. A.

one time attempted to shoot him. In Covington
county, Alabama the witness said there was
scarcely a man who had not been arrested.
