will never by my vote or voice support a
proposition that tends to humiliate Or de-
grade my people. l shall, if am the only
Republican on the floor, protest against the
passage of law that will SOW the foul
seeds of factional discord among the peo-
pie, and be fruitful cause of nnutterable
woe to the unfortunate class it is designed
to benefit. If that be treason to the party
to which have ever been loyal, make the
most of it,
What contrast between his course and
that of the three Republican Congressmen
from this State, two of whom, Waddill and
Bowdeu, voted for it, and Browe did not
vote at all. Waddill even made speech
in favor of the proposition that tends" in
the language of Ewart, Ito humiliate and
degrade our people"

Harry Tucker on the Election Bill.

Our immediate Representative in Con.

body on the Federal Election Bill in WHICH
he argued to show that there was no Con
stitutional authority for the passage of such
bill. The Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Times speaks of it as fol
lows
Representative Tucker spoke against
the Federal Election bill this afternoon, and
he was most heartily congratulated by dem
ocrats when he finished. He took consti-
tutional view of the proposed legislation,
and argued that it was in defiance of the
organic law Mr. Tucker said Rowell had
sneeringly declared that it was waste Of
time to argue the constitutional phase OF
the question, but he (Tucker) and his party
preferred to live up to their oaths to sup.
port the Constitution. Mr.. Tucker read
all the clauses of the Constitution conferr-
ing authority upon Congress to regulate
elections, and argued that that was con-
ditional grant, that the power was only to
be used by Congress in the event of the
failure of State to exercise it. Mr.. Tuck
er manifested degree Of familiarity with
the debate and proceedings connected with
framing the Constitution that surprised
some Of the older members. He commended
that the trainers clearly intended to reserve
to the States the right to regulate elections,
and proceeded to show how the proposed
law would conflict with and override State
Constitutions and authority.
Messrs. Waddill and Bowden sought to
interrupt Mr.. Tucker, and did so in an of
fensive and unwarranted manner, without
addressing the Chair Mr.. Tucker declin-
ed to be interrupted, and when Waddill
persisted, suggested that the latter take his
seat. Wlddill wildly flung his arms in the
air and persisted in shouting at Tucker.
The latter remained calm, and thu presid-
ing officer (Peters, Of Kansas,) not only
called Waddill to order, but rebuked him
for having interrupted member without
first addressing the Chair. Struble, of
Iowa, sought to ease Waddill's rebuke by
making the point that no member had a
right to order another to sit down. Tucker
sent Struble sneaking to the rear by polite
ly saying: ''Will the gentleman from Iowa
do the House favor and take his seat?"
Waddill was crushed, and Struble sneaked
ont Of the chamber. fuckers speech was
applauded By the democrats, and many of
them said that if he remains in Congress
there is brilliant career ahead of him."

The new Force bill, known as the Fed
eral Election measure, was forced through
the House yesterday, under the whirl of
the caucus lash, by the vote of l55 to 49,
That majority of those who voted for it
would have been glad to see it defeated,
and more glad to have seen it smothered in
committee or caucus, is not doubted by
any; but Speaker Reed forsees defeat of
his party in the next Congressional cleo
tions, and he proposes to steal the next
House for his party, and to steal the
Speakers chair for himself, by the most
revolutionary and despotic election measure
ever devised in any country, in war or
peace.
1t is possible, but not probable that the
Republican Senate will pass the revolution
airy Force bill just driven through the
House by the party lash; but whether the
measure shall become a law or not, the
record of yesterday in the House will make
many Republican Congressman bite the
dust in struggles for reelection. Other uu-
justifable votes might be given in obedi-
ence to party, but there can be no excuse
offered by any Congressman for voting for
needless election law predicated in
violence and threatening business tram
guilty in every section.

There is to be left to us, if this abomina-
BILE bill becomes law, no protection, either
before, during, or after election, against
the despotic authority Of judges and judicial
underlings especially selected to perpetuate
Republican power. Bad as the Davenport
Lodge bill was when originally approved by
the Republican House caucus, it is now
very much worse in its attempted subver-
sion of popular liberties and notification of
free suffrage.
Passed by the House by the narrow ma
jority of seven votes Of Washington
members, the Davenport-Lodge election
bill should be beaten in the Senate. And
the Democrats there, with the honest and
freedom-loving public at their back, ought
to eight it out on that line, if it takes all
