Mr.. White of New York. said the
argument that the bill was intended
only to quiet titles, was a specious
measu 70 aud there was legislative de-
cree defying decisions of the United
States Supreme Court for the past
twenty years. 1t would have been
| easier for President Cleveland to fall in
accord with the popular voice and sign
the bill, but the man showed he had
been conscientious about this business.
All honor to q man who dared to refuse
to do popular act because he knew it
was wrong
Messrs. Wheeler and Parker, of New
York also op posed the bill.
Mr.. Gear, of Iowa, said settlers had
gone on the lands in gcoi faith.

company in their pockets, IN violation
of their privileges as ex-members, came
on the floor to stiae legislation. and
had conferred with the gentleman at
this session to his (Payson's) knowl
edge.

If the gentleman wanted him to name
