w,ll allow it to be adopted. Senator Cam.
eron in an interview on the subject OF the
Force bill today said II shall vote againss Is
in whatever form 1t may assume. l am OPP
posed to 1t in principle and 10 detail. The
South is now resumiug quiet condition.
Northern capital has bsen fowing into the
South In large amounts. Manufacturing
establishments have been erected there
and are now in full operation, and
community of commercial interests
is RAPIDLY celebrating sectional lines, and
will. in the not distant future, result IN
forming homogeneous people, living In the
North. East, South and West. The cleo
ton bill would destroy this favorable COZ
dition and produce i'll feeling between the
sections. am, therefore, opposed to the
bill, and shall assert my independence ss
Senator and cast my vote against the meas
ure." 1t is known that Senator Quay ia also
opposed to the bill, but 1t is not 80 certain
that be will vote against 1t II its passage be
ordered by the republican caucus. 1t 70 un-
dsrstood that Mr.. Hamilton Dlsstop, the
we'll known capitalist of Philadelphia, who

written letters to both the Senators referred
to urging them to do all they can to defeat
the perniclous bill" The resolution intro

publican caucus, but 1t was presented upon
Mr.. Hoar's owa motion. So far as can be
learned there mas been no action taken by
any number of republican Senators to sup
port the resolution at this or any other DEL
