tion. 1t occurs in an article If ours on the So
ca'icl rider, and reads:
The manner Of taking the c"nSrIs was PIE
scrlbcd by law and of course. Tic work wlS t.
be paid for. The appropriation was Icfea'"i
by n long and specious arguacnt that the
amendment was n rider. 1t was absurd, Iui
nobody knew it better than the members from
Charleston who put themselves on record ~ de
nying Il iIir reprcScntatl' 10 the balance O!
the State.
Here is the time ani place Of Charlc,on 5 lie
iccion. Here is where she put herself or re-.
ord. 1t needs but one fact to prove it. and that
IL the vote on the question of rccc ling from ia"
census appropriation. II stool. as near as We
can recall, ~ to {! in favor of rcc2linS and
eleven members from Charleston voted u re
ccdc. Thus they put themselves record n
denying Il fair representation 10 the balance
0T the state. This was the O. .cial test an
Charleston was in the v1catiyr. She Was in
full accord with the House until the decisive
momcu, nnd then by her eleven votes refused to
sustain the appropriat9n aIl 81 will have FIVE
more Rcprcs scntativcs than she i entitled to
for years To come. and also unjust pre-
a 1
tonS. This very vote dill deny fair rcprcSv',-
tntiou 10 other PARTS Of the State AMI dill keep
five extra members for Charleston. AMI she HW'
herself "u REGARD. But Mr.. Brawlcy says that
when Charleston turned and He'd the question
| WAS not ~ To taking the census. hur "=hal tie
liou-c force the Senate to acccp; its views on
this sulcc hy defeating the approximation bill -.
We heard Speaker SimonS pul ~ SUN lrcs-
tion TO the House. If Mr.. Brawcy thought
that was the question we excuse him trr that
vote, although he was wrong on the census from
first to last. Ii fSpcakcr Sjmous hal Iut any
other question than the u~unl parliamentary
| one. he wovld have framed it somewhat as fol-
lows: "Will the House stand by the Cpn>!i;u.
ton, and vii! the members stanl Ivy their oaths
to support it, and Charleston would have
| voted ''No.
Mr.. rawlcy need not have loolirl further
| than this vote - find where Charleston power
was used for 4 sectional advantage. 1t may
not have been - intended, but >uc!l has been
| the effect Tor she will have five more RcIrcSrn-
| tatiycs counting by the L. =. ccUsuS than

Nr. Hrawlry is the last man OF tharlc>i Nu

| cusc. If hc did 80 because the amendment was
| n "ridcr he was strangely inconsistent in
voting for two additional professors in thc Uni
vcrsiiy which was clearly against the law. We
| heard nothing from Charleston about this ncina =
