The Senate then resumed consideration

" S9uth Dakota, and WAS addressed by
" Plumb in support OF the bill. He
entrusted the small votes IN the southern
.,,tas with the vote OF Dakota, and
,Wd thst very few OF
tSsm Isi cast as many
rotes ST any election within the last five
ears as Dakota had cast in 1886. II it
g,s TO the quality of the people of Dskota
.5,t the Senator from Mis- ,ouri (Vest)
Injected then he (Plumb) declared they
.sre fair representation of the Anglo
S,yop character Oh this continent. They
5,d bgen taken from the more active and
energetic portions of the people of the
nort1ern, eastern, midGle and western
st,tes. lie had yet to learn that man
in Dakota had ever been deprived by d.
Tsction OF indirection Of his right TO vote
ny inst any candidate for Congress in
D1kota had ever started out on his cam
ipry, Coming down to the state of Ais
hams be COntrasted the tables of taxation
in that state 10 show that the assessed
value Of 'guus, pistols and dirks,"
WIS four times greater tta1
inst of farming tools and agricultural i'm
plem5 nts, and yet he ssid the Senator
rom Missouri did not object to the rep
rasentsuon Of Alabama In the Senate or
House of Representatives,, but was will
ing 10 meet them on the plane for equal
ry, FOr himself he did not care as to the
politics OF any Of the territories applying
for admission as states. he would vote
for the admission OF Montana and Wash
jpg.on, Democratic though they were.
Mr.. Allison addressed the Senate Ia
support OF the bill. He agreed with the
Senator from Missouri (Vesi) that the
question WEs q political one. l. was
political end party question. The attl-
Jude of the Democratic party in both
houses on this subj5ct was an attitude of
non action.
Messrs. Butler and Call spoke against
the admission Of South Dakota, and re-
PEELED the Sspersi0ns upon the people of
southern states.
Ny Berry also spoke 70 repal, he said,
tie charges affecting the honor and good
Dsme, not only OF the members Of the
Senate, nut the people OF the southern
states. He recalled the outrsges of the
Csfpgt-9sg government in the southern
states, but especially the stste of Arkan-
SIS, and asserted that there were more
crimes committed in the north in pIopor-
ton to the population than in the south.
Referring TO hr. Snerman's speech, he
declared that the man VINO made it had
not that love of country which quslifad
him to be the coHntry's executive.
Every such speech made in the
Senate tended to increase the
bitterness hetWeen the w lie and
cOlor5d people Of the south, and to cripple
those VINO were anxious to see the col
0Eed man secured In every right guArsn-
teed to MIN by the constitution. He had
hoped thst the time had come when the
southern states were back in the Union.
Mr.. Sherman, replying to Mr.. Berry,
ssid he had not participated in the debate
until the Senator from Missouri (Mr.
Yesl had charged upon President Hayes
inst he hsd been elected by fraud, and
held his office in fraud. In replying to
inst charge yesterday ne had found il
necessary to go over the history of the
events Of '76 on which the
question turned, and in doing so
9s mad read, not newspaper
paragraphs, BUT carefully prepared and
revised reports of speecaes of Governor
hcEnery and Senator Eustis as proving
tne truth CT the facts established before
lie returning beard OF Louisiana, show
ing fraud and violence and outrage in the
eectlOn OF 1876. When President of
sne Unlted SLStes was charged with hsv-
!1g leld his Office By fraud for four years
ana that ne used the money of the United
Sstes IN rewarding the man who made
S sle returns of the stata Of Louisisns, he,
oaermau, friend of mis- from his own
Es'Ate, declared that that charge was false
W whoever uttered, and he had
promised the testimony of two
S".tneSses, Governor McEnery and
senator Eustis, who in making
. CANVASS last summer in thst state ad- |
NM everything which ne had stated |
!Ast Was all he had done, srd that be
would 90 sgsin whenever the came thing |
we 'fred ana wherever it occurred. It |
mas NOT to revive the snimosity of the
pIs' thst ne had spoken, but to show thsr |
s ,, charge made against President of |
s-e United States WAS false. In any
presence, in any company, in the church |
W n Inc graveyard he would stand by |
.aA1 ground and would say when any
IL ISn impugued the character of President |
!. nayes and said ne held his Office in fraud,
VA. Inc charge was not trIe.
AFTER further debate, which WAS Eat |
rmss quite excited, the Senate came to s |
s:H On the substitute for the Dakota
Sai, snd then on the bill itself. The sub
,atuLe was defeated, yeas %, nays 26,
s SrG me oil was passed, yeas 26, nays %,

NJ Platt gave notice that he would st
S ~ early dsy call up the other territorial
