WAsniNaroN, April 1s.-The land fol
ure bill went over as unfinished business
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon the Dakotal
came up and Senator Sherman took the foo
In its support. He replied I'm an immssione
manner to Senator Vests allusion to the mn
fair methods in the election of Prcsidcn
Hayes. He claimed that every suspicion eve
cast upon the integrity of that proccedin
had been repealed and that 1t stood in histor
as a matter in which the Republican party
position could not be inpcachcd.
Senator Sherman showed by the vote in III
senate that the electoral commission bill wa
not a Republican but u Democratic u,easur.
Twenty-six Democrats had voted for 1t All
onlytwenty-one Republicans, while the vote
against 1t were fourteen Republicans, inclut
Ing himself, and one Democrat, Mr.. Eaton. &
Connecticut. The Democrats were therefor
prccluded from assailing the bill as II Tart
san measure. He declared his full convir.io
that Hayes had been fairly and legally cleo
ed; and that II by some hOcus pocus Tide
hal been inaugurated he would have ice
Illegally elected.
He explained the incongruity of Packar
not getting the g%overnorship of Louisiana b
showing that that was subject to local law
and decisions; and declared his conyictio
that Packard had been Illegally deprived q
his office. The Democratic party had nc
only by fraud and violence sought to coutrc
the presidential election, but it had actual
succeeded In deprivlng of their offices th
duly elected governor and members Of tn
legislature. Then he proceeded 10 read ez
tracts from q speech made in the late canvas
by Senator Eustis, In which he declared IT 4
be the determination of the white men q
Louisiana to solve the race question withou
regard to northern sentiment. II that. mi,
Senator Sherman, was the desire and deter
mination of the white people Of Louisana, tn,
constitution of the United States would lay,
to be changed. When 1t was said that tl,er,
must be u white mans government in Lousi
ana 1t meant an unrepublican government
The people Of the south, instead of scekiu,
10 win the colored people by Kindness, hat
maintained u system Of domineering Grim,
and violence. He had felt called upon t,
make these remarks partly to correct the his
torical error into which many persons hat
fallen and to show that not only did the re
turning board Of Louisiana have sufjciep,
evidence before them of fraud and y~iolenc,
and outrage In the election of 1876, but tha,
the present governor Of that state and one O,
its senators had confessed all and mere thar
ever had been claimed by the returning
board. II ever anybody had any doubt of .he
election Of Hayes that doubt had been re-
moved by the admission Of thh very men ybc
had participated in the wrong Of that day In
Louisiana.
Senator Sherman continued his defense Of
Hayes election and made Q general arraien.
ment Of the authorities Of the southern ststei
for iutimidating negro voters. He was listened
to with profound attention.
Senator Vest said he still denied the hon.
esty and legally Of that election. The ques.
tion which he had asked about Packard and
Hays had not been answered satisfactorily.
