outstanding the Indignation OF the Democrats
a the result OF their own device. The peopl
were perpetually reminded that the Republica,
party was guilty Of an enormous and gigantic
| fraud in tt3 election and seating OF Mr.. Hayes
Mr.. Cleveland had apparently warranty 6eet
Tor the seat which he occupied, and yet (com
pared with the title which Mr.. HAYES had K
his seat he was in possession Of stolen goods
and the receiver was as bad as the thief; in the
court OF justice and fair conscience he had never
been elected at all. He had been counted
INTO once by partisanship between
DICK Turpin and Uriah Heep foot-pads and

| it was some consolation to know that in tina,
partnership these apostates and renegades had
lost their share OF the swsg. Laughter and
| applausel. The country had still against il the
| Southern Confederacy. II was confronted with
l53 votes OF the solid South. as it had been al
every election since that of Mr.. Hayes. The
solid South was the Confederacy. and the sue
cess OF the Democratic party meant the sue
| cess OF the Confedcracy. which was to-day as
much an organized active aggressive force in
politics as in 1861, and in the previous time
| Slavery was dead and secession was dead but
all the ideas, all the impulses, all the purposes

Supreme Court. on whose bench he was ap-
pointed He never had tried reported case in
any tribunal, State or National, for wears 1t
was an open secret that the President at one
time peremptorily refused TO appoint him. He
asked what necessity there had been for the
President to affront the loyal sentiment OF the
country by placing on the bench of the Supreme
Court man who was not lawyer and
never had been, and who had called
abraham Lincoln bufoon, ard why
OF all men, the South had selected him
and forced him on reluctant President and :.
reluctant people. II was because Mr.. Lamar
was the nearest and dearest friend and repre-
sentative OF Jefferson Davis. There was no
other explanation OF it, II that was not true
then his nomination was farce and burlesQue.
without excuse and without explanation
Mr.. ingalls, then referred to speech made in
the House Of Representatives in 1879 by Mr.
Blackburn, declaring it to be the purpose and
intention OF the Democratic party to keep on
until it wiped out from the statute book the last
vestlge OF war legislation. He said that within
the next few years the Supreme Court would
be entirely reconstructed. Two OF the Asso-
ciate Justices were already past the retiring
age, and if that tribunal was to pass hereafter
on the war legislation all knew what the re-
suit would be. There could be no question
about it.
The speaker next took up the speech OF
Henry r. jackson at Macon Ga, in the presence
OF Jefferson Davis, speech which had the
effect, he said, OF defeating the Democratic
party OF Ohio by an immense majority and the
influence OF which was so palpable that Judge
Thurman had denounced Jackson as an old
tramp and an old fool and General Gordon of
Georgia, had Immediately set out for Cincinnati
in his special car to try to counterfeit it. and in
order to show that there was no bloody chasu
between the North and South, and that
thoroughly fraternal feeling prevailed. when he
men General Morgan Of Ohio on public plat
form he kissed him in the mouth, as reported in
the papers at that time and entering his special
car went back to Georgia. ILaughterl
Passing to the question Of the elections in the
South, the speaker said that the Republican
party would have 70 right to complain il the
South were kept solid by fair means, but the
Democratic party there had been playing the
political game with loaded dice, had held
stacked cards." played with "cold deck" and
had a revolver in its boot and a bowie knife
down the back Of its neck. There WERE every
day, wrongs inflicted on thousands and
hundreds OF thousands of men in the Southern |
States, which, if inflicted by q foreign power |
on single American citizen, even the |
least would have caused declaration of |
war within ninety days-even with the |
present Secretary of State in office. |
Loud laughter.l The people had an illus |
tration OF what was going to take place |
in November next by what had inst taken place |
in Louisiana. lQuiet laughter on the Demo
cratic side He quo ted u sentence from Mr.
Voorhees, speech to the effect that the only |
wonder about the Louisiana election was that
1t was more than unanimous, and he said that
1t was mere than unanimous. The Democratic
party in the South had learned the art not only
OF making elections unanimous but of making
them more than unanimous. 1t had learned
the art OF returning larger Democratic ma
jority than the registered vote. He wondered
himself at its moderation in returning only a
majority OF 5000 in Louisiana, but il had been
going up since the Senator from Indiana had
spoken, and was now 5000. What it would
amount to before the dog days nobody could
tell.
Mr.. ingalls, read letters and statements from
sources detailing acts of Outrage
md cheating at the Louisiana election and de-
dared his belief that fair returns would have
hown Yarmouth elected by majority of S3.-
100 or $1,000
In closing Mr. ingalls, said that in the centu-
les to come he saw vision of united. prosper
Jus and happy America, vast homogeneous do
main OF free men. rulers OF the continent from
he polar zone to the gulf. from the Atlantic to
he Pacific. enjoying their franchises of liberty
ma perpetuatlng the arts OF peace. The people
mould remember on each recurring day when
hey celebrated those who had died that this
ountry held in its fruitful and tender breast 10
more priceless treasure than the consecrated
lust of those who ha. died in order that this
hould be a government of laws and not OF men,
nd that liberty and constitutional government .

Mr.. voorhees, arose and. in slow, measured |
esonant tones, remarked that the speech which {
he Senate had just listened to recalled to his | {

cts had brought a large audience 20 the Sen J
te, and what had they heard. and what had s

lis aliusion last Wednesday to the Senator r
ON Kansas had been merely incidental-why 4
lould he assall that Senator. Men mistook G
and the Senator from Kansas did so a
ore than any one he knew. That Senator had 3
1t been alive, politically, since March last. e
hen the Senator from Kentucky blackburn t
sposed OF him. Laughter and a yell Of ap- d
oval from one Of the galleries. He had been {
alking the streets and posing before the world c

,alth, who had said to him that he had been 4
lad year and was only walking around s.
save funeral expenses The only criticism
his voorhees, speech which he had seen in 1
e press was that he had galvanized a corpse. b
e disclaimed any purpose of that kind. He q
I'd made no attack upon him. but upon the Re-
lblican party. He pro ,eeded to compare Mr.. 6
