ar Hoar's speech last August, that the
Dill struck a. the north as well as at the
south, and also recited the motto placed at
the head OF that speech: ''Shall we keep
faith with the people" and said that
whether sincere or not, that was
rlking battle cry. The people
had read that speech aud had answered
1t. All OF the thirtssa original states had
put upon Ii the iiat Of their condemnation !
The st tie Of Massachusetts,, at whic he
struc1, in distrust OF its local officers and It's
time -honored customs, had given HIN its
answer; and he did not wonder that the
senator from Massachusetts should be 50 i'm
patient by some method or other TO get the
corpse taken from the presenca of the Sen
ate. The coli fingers Of the cadaver could
not be warmed at the dying fires Of sectional
hate.
REPUDIATED BIZ THE NORTH.
The senator (Hr Hoarl had proclaimed his
purpose to have the bill strike az the north
as well as the south; aud the north had
tazel him at his word and had overruIed
him. And to him he (Mr. DanieD said
now: shall yol keep faith with tie
American neopie. or will you play the part
OF the desperate gam Ter, who, having
played for "a high stake and lost, prefers TO
Kick over tue table, blow out tue
lights, and grab the stake before
the man who has won it can interrupt the
proceedingsm If the senator proposed 10
snap his fingers in ths face of that express,
emphatic, resounding. condemnation, let
him do SO; but let him not insult the reason
or common sense by asking the QUESTION:
Shall We keep faita with the peoplegu
HoAR's ATTACK ON THE JUDICIARY.
The senator had not always expressed the
high confidence in the judiciary which he
now profeSssd. He had made a speech in
the Senate in which he said that he had
| seen four United States judges forced to re-
sign their offices in order +, escape impeaoa-
/ menU. After quoting somewhat extensively
| from this speach. Mr.. Dauiel expressed his
regret that Mr.. Eoar had vacated his sea
since he (Mr. DanieD had commenced
ID hod up Mr.. Hoar's assault
on the Judiciary as being an unsafe Gus
todian Of the peoples liberties. The senator
| might continue TO absent himself from his
seat, aad might not care to have his doctrine
| repeat in his presence; but he (Mr.
| Daniel would point out to the few senator's
who did m the honor to listen TO him that
| to-day the senator from Massachusetts,
stood before the American people in that
| very attitude which he condemned in his
| speech.
| A BoTCHED JOB.
Referring to the uncertainty of what the
| report OF the committee really was, Mr..
Daniel characterized the bill as the worst
botched legislative Job that he had ever
seen emauating from a committee and he
| said chat the committee on privileges and
| elections ought to be glad to be permitted to
take it back, and not send it Into this
| breathing world, scarce half made up" The
p 'esidlng genius of this bill, who was in
| stigating it and nursing it, had received no
/ allusion from the senator from Massachusetts
save compliment; and yet he Mr. DanieD
had in his hand legislative record, u re-
- 1DF .aFD
| sentativ9s, consisting of Messrs. Lynd.
Forney and Frye, from which he deduced the
| conclusion tnat MIR. Davenport was not q
man worthy 10 be superviS n or cleo
tIons, but that he was just the kind of man
| to whom the promJshs and sponsors OF the
bill wanted to turn over the sulfrages,
rights and privileges OF the American
people.
| DAVENPORT A BULLDOzER.
Mr.. Frye sought the foor to make an ex-
PLANTATION STATING that be had rot signed
| the report, but Mr.. Daniel declined to yield
for that purpose. He quoted from the law
report TO show that Judge BlatchfOrd had
condemned the action of Mr.. DaN enport.
but had declined 70 remove him. The Of
| fe So that he had committed was, Mr.. Daniel
| said, terrorizlng end intimidating American
citizens and compelling them to surrender
| their naturalization certificates. Who. he
| aeked, demanded the passage of the bills
| Not the farmers of the country; for in their
convention at Ocala. Fla, they had just
protested unanimously against it; not the
colored people Of the south, for they had.
| through their various representatives, de-
are1 that Trey did not wish the bill to be
passed. because it would disturb the kindly
relations that time was establishing between
the races.
SELF GOVERNMENTS DEATH BLOW.
He cos ed his speech with the declaration
that the language which the American
people speak is the only one that has in It
the word ''self-goyernment," but that when
this bill shall beco no a law the dictionaries
should ba amended, and the word, self
government" should be erased from the
| vocabulary.
Mr.. George obtained the floor.
Mr.. Butler gave notice Of an amendment
to the bill, providing that supervisors, can
vassers and all election officers be regarded
as ministerial, and not as judicial officers.
Mr.. Hoar gave notice that he would ask
the Senate tomorrow to sit into the even
| ing until the debate on the bill was closed.
After all executive session the Senate
adjourned.
