Special to the Gazette.
Washington, January 29.-The gen.
eral impression here is that the Demo-
Gratis made Il shrewd political hit in not
speaking on the Sherman resolutions
to have the election troubles in the
South investigated. Sherman's evil
dent object was to cause heated dis
cussion, so as to make political cap
ital Tor the next campaign. He led off
with a prepared speech in support of
the investigation, in which he held
that 1t was time for full and impair
tial inquiry into the Southern outrages.
No man, he exclaimed, should be al
lowed a seat in congress whose election
was obtained by bloody means. Ma.
hone followed Sherman in a neatly
prepared address. He said il
was due to the fair name of Vir-
ginia that the actors in those
foul deeds should be punished. The
majority of her people oppose blood
shed and turmoil, and are not respon.
hble for the violent overthrow of civil
law and the unprovoked and brutal
murder of unarmed citizens at Dan
vile. 81 hope" he exclaimed, that
the proposed investigation will pro-
coed, and that this whole matter NAV
be probed to the bottom" He referred
in detail to the readjustment of the
state debt, and denounced the shot
gun practice and other means of com
pulsion to brighten and restrain the
colored voter. ~ am confidentu he
continued, that Virginia will emerge
from the investigation free from
al stains upon the majority of
her citizens, while upon Vic.
lent faction will be found tba
respons Utility for blood and murder
A speech like Sherman's was calcn-
lated to cause bitter retort, but the |
Democrats simply voted against the |
resolution.
