LoGAN's TURN AGAIN.
Mr.. Logan said he had not attacked the
State Of South Carolina. He thought he was
complimenting that state when he had said
that South Carolina had always been in the
front of Democratic leadership. Regarding
the vote of Illinois, Mr.. Logan asked Mr..
Butler where he got his figures MI. Butler
replied, in the American almanac. Mr.. Lo-
gan said a!manacs sometimes made mis-
takes.
He cited the figures of the vote cast Ii Illinois
for several years past, showing d constantly in
creasing vote in that state, the figures OF 1876
being 554,066, and for 1854 as much as 672.-
669 AT every presidential election since such
elections had been known In this country the
vote OF Illinois had increased over that OF prior
elections. How was IL with South Carolina?
With a population OF 1000, 600 people that
state in 1880 police 40, 956 votes, while with
the same population, and perhaps an increase,
in 1884, the vote polled was only 90, 662 votes.
\. therefore, the vote OF Illinois mad increased
decreased by $4,000, his (Mr. Logan's) idea was
that an explanation was as much due from
South Carolina as from Dakota. 1t had been
said that the electors of South Carolina he'd not
been Of u character to induce the voters TO come
out. Such a eulogium had been passed that
state this morning that Mr.. logan was tempted
TO ask why such electors had been nominated.
Mr.. Butler replied that he meant the Re-
publican electors.
Mr.. Logan-Well, the Republican electors got
very few votes.
MI. Butler-I know it..
Dir, L~ogan-But, / saw, your own electors
Jailed TO get the vote that You polled for four
years ago. No, sir, you can't play that small
character OF debate in this senate. Mr.. Logan
said That the reference to the buZZing OF the
presidential bee constituted a very poor argu-
ment upon a great constitutional question. For
his part, he was not governed by the small
motive that governed men who thought them
selves great.
Mr.. Butler aidh he was sure that Mr.. Logan
was quite worthy of a presidential candidacy.
Abiding to Mr.. Buffers reference to people
who %fouted their performances" in other
peoples faces, Mr.. Logan inquired of Mr..
Butler who had lone that?"
Mr.. Butler-I mnst do the honorable senator
tne justice to say that he has not.
Mr.. Logan-Very well. / am much obliged to
the senator for that. hope I shall never do
that. for ii there is anything / have a contempt
for it is that a man should always be telling
what he himself has done. Mr.. Logan COM
mented on the references OF Mr. Butler to the
"lolling In their tents" of officers, while Soldiers
were on the march" That remark was not just
to gentlemen on this side of the chamber.
Mr.. Butler disclaimed having intended it's
application to any senator. Mr. Logan saw
equal merit in all where there had been
faithful service. In conclusion, Mr.. Logan
repeated:
w ICN pICbCuSC ldN NC udNl do " lit TIA
son for excluding Dakota-howeve senator's
may higgle over words, the real reason was that
it would have a Republican majority. Men may
argue that they please, with Eighty preteXt-that
was the real source Of difficulty. But the Amer
lean people had an abiding sense of justice.
They knew that all the elements for statehood
existed In Dakota; that 1t had the necessary
population and all the conditions Of industry,
energy and civilization. Then why should not
this new state be placed in the cluster Of the
American Union, that it may add its share to 1.-THE
light and glory of The reDubliCp
MR. MORGAN SPEAKS.
Mr.. Morgan had heard a good deal in this
debate, but had not heard any of the advo-
Gates of the bill answer facts presented
against it
Senator's as much as said to the opponents
Of admission under this bill: Your facts are all
right, but your motives are wrong. You do not
want to pass this measure because you are DEM
ocratic and want only Democratic states admit
ted" He CMr. Morgan) could at least as logic
ally reply That a gentleman who was not elected
at the last election wanted a new Republican
state admitted, or that he wanted it in order to
retain power in the senate. 1t would perhaps
be unjust to the senator from Illinois lMr. Logan
to say that, but no more unjust than the motives
ascribed TO the opponents of this bill. Mn. Nor
gan conceded that all the conditions necessary
for admission existed in the case OF Dakota, and
he would be glad to see it admitted as one state.
The senator from Illinois insisted on having two
states from 1t. @Insatiate archer, will not one
sufice?" That senator had said he would give
him lMr. Morgan) enough before lie got through.
Well, Mr.. Morgan had enough already, and SO
had retired to the cloak room and gone to sleep.
He had had enough OF reproaches against his
state because of a ticket that did not draw q
very large vote from Alabama last year. The
vote of Alabama had been light, he said, because
the Republican ticket did not have any such
popularity In that state as TO make it necessary
for the people to come out very largely in order
TO defeat il, and even the Republicans them
selves did not care about it. As long as the
Southern states had had liberty of action they
always voted for the admission of new states
whenever the proper conditions existed The
objections to admission had come from the East.
Mr. Plumb said:
The Democratic party had always favored the
admission of new states when the new states
were Democratic and would add TO the power Of
the Democratic party. He reviewed at some
Kansas. 1t had to tight to get in, and it had
| fought the fight well. The bleeding Kansas" Of
that time had become the ministering angel of
the republic 1t may be that In the estimation
of some the vote OF Kansas was not so valuable
as that Of South Carolina and Alabama They
were Older" states. Ont our way we don't ask
q man how old he is or where he came from. We
are too busy to 90 into pedtgrees. We ask him
what he Is and what he can do. Kansas says
Welcome" TO Dakota. which was opposed now
of Kansas. The first steps under the new Dem
| ocratic administration followed close on the last
steps of the other Democratic administration.
HARRIsoN's LAST WORDS.
Mr.. Harrison replied to Mr.. Butler. After
reviewing the points made by that senator
this morning. and commenting upon the
warmth with which the senator had spoken,
Mr.. Harrison said he knew no cure for Mr..
Butler except PGsteur's new treatment
daughter. Mr.. Butler inquired whether the
virus to be used in the process of ~inocula-
ton was to come from Mr.. Harrison. Laugh
ter. That senator had shown much bitter
ness Mr.. Butler thought that he Cir. But
lerl was free from hate. Mr.. Harrison said
his remarks were persiflage, but admit
ted that Mr.. Buffers reply was good
Mr.. Call opposed the committee's bill The
will Of the whole people OF Dakota, he said,
