SIR Butler rrplleds In the American
almanac.
Mr.. Logan said an almanac sometimes
made mistakes. lie cited the figures of
the votes cast IN Illinois Tor several wears
past, showing q constantly incressint,
vote in that state, the figures for 1876 be.
ing 55i ,GG6 and for 1884 as much as Gro
6G9. Az every presidential election. he
said. since such elections had been known
in this country the vote Of Illinois had
Increased over that OF the prior
elections. How was It with Sonth
Carolinaf With population OF
million people that state in 1850 polled
! IO,g70 votes, while with the same popu.
l9tiOn, and perhaps an increase Ia 1884,
the vote polled was %, 500 votes. II,
therefore, the vote of Illinois had In
/ creased by 100000 and the vote of South
1 Carolina had decreased by $4,000, his
| lLogan's) idea was that an explanation
| was as much due from South Carolina as
! from Dakota, IL had been said that
the electors of South Carolina had not
been Of character TO induce the
/ voters TO come out. Snch an eulogium
had heen passed upon that state this
morning that Mr.. Logan was tempted to
ask why such electors had been nomi-
mated.
Mr.. Butler replied that he meant the
| Republican electors.
MIR. Logan; Well the Republican elect
ors got very few votes.
/ MIR. Butler know IT,
/ Mr. Logan: But say your own elect
ors failed TO get the vote you polled four
years ago. No, sir, you cannot play that
small character of debate in this senate.
MIR. Logan said that reference to the bur.
zing of presidential bees constituted a
very poor argument upon great consti-
tutional question. For his part, he was
not governed by the small motives that
governed men who thought themselves
great.
Mr. Butler said he was sure Mr. Logan
was quite worthy of presidential can
didacy.
Abiding to Mr. Buffers reference to
people who ''fauntcd their performance
in other peoples faces,n Mr.. Logan in
CURED of Mr.. Butler who had done that.
Mr.. Butler: | must do the honorable
senator the justice to say that he did not.
Mr.. Logan; Very well, am Obliged
TO the senator for that hope ! shall
never do that for il there is anything |
have a contempt for 1t is fol
the man always telling what he himself
has done. Mr.. Logan commented ON the
reference of Mr.. Butler TO the lolling in
his tent of an officer whose soldiers were
' on the march. That remark, he said
, was not just to the gentlemen on that side
of the chamber.
Mr. Butler disclaimed having intended
its application to any senator.
Mr.. Logan recognized equal merit in al
a lii
/, conclusion Mr.. Logan repeated that wha
: ever pretense might be had as to the rea
! son for excluding Dakota, however tn
: senators might wrlggle, the American
: people had an abiding sense OF Justice
!; They knew that all the elements for state
= hood existed in Dakota, that i
:, had the necessary population an,
y area, and all the conditions of industry
: energy and civilization. Then why, h
- asked, should not this new state be place
!, in the cluster of the American Union tina
" it may add its share 10 the light and glor
of the republic
~ MIR. Morgan had heard good deal i
n this debate, but had not heard any advc
n Gates Of the bill answer the facts presente
a against it. The senator's as much a
g said to the opponents of admission undo
n this bill "Your facts are all right, bt
4 your motives are wrong. You don
4 want to pass this measure because 20
q are Democrats and want only Democrat
states admittedn lie (Morgan) could {
le least as logically reply that
ii gentleman who waS not electe
vi at the last election wanted new Repul
Ia lican state admitted, or that he wanted
40 in order to retain power in the senat
~ II would perhaps be unjust to the senate
10 from Illinois (Mr. Logan to say tina
- but no more unjust than the motiv
m ascribed to the opponents OF this bi
&c Mr.. Morgan conceded that all the como
ar tions necessary for admission existed
In the case of Dakota, and he would he eli
to see il admitted as one state. The sc
IN ator from Illinois insisted on having tp
ad states from it. Insatiate archer will n
nm one suffice? That senator had said
ID would give him MIR, Morgan enou!
te before he got through Well, Mr.. Nc
m. gan had had enough already and so III
an retired TO the cloak-room and gone
Iv sleep He had enough OF reproaeh
he against his state because OF u ticket u
no did not draw n very large vote ire
ne Alabama last year. The vote OF Aiaoal
ID had been light, he said, because the !
an publican ticket did not have any So
,ta popularity IN lllub sldtS AZ " MANY
,e necessary for the people to come out We
go largely in order to defeat II, a
, wS even the Republicans themsel'
i"' did not care about it, As long as
mo Southern states had liberty OF action ID
'0 always voted for the admission OF n
state whenever the proper conditions
10 listed. The objection to admission b
come from the East.
Mr.. Plumb said the Der
the cratic party had always iavol
vas the admission of new sta
ors when the new states were Deinocra
pgs or would add to the power OF the Der
ms. cratic party. He reviewed at some lem
cen the question Of the admission OF hans
de. II had TO fight to get in, he SAID, ana
Md had fought the lgl well. The "bie
Gus lng'' Kansas of that time nad
the come the ministerlng angel oil
onr republic. In the estimation
M. some the vote OF Kansas
Yer mot so valuable as that
ear South Carolina or Alabama. They "
Ia older states. Out our waJ, says
on Plumb. we don't ask a man how old n
