KNOCKED OUT BY cRAy.


In describing the incidents of the de.
bate in the Senate against the Force bill.
in which Senator Gray took part to the
discontinue of the Republicans, the
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
says:
When Senator Gray arosein the Senate
to-day to oppose the Force bill one OF his
Democratic associates remarked that
Gray would probably smoke out some
Republican coons In criti-
eising these provisions Senator Gray
questioned the right Of Congress to enact
law which authorized a deputy marshal
to visit the residence Of an American
citizen and interrogate wives and
mothers as to the politics, religion, etc.
Of the voters Of the family, In the
most dramatic style he declared
that he had always been a law-abidng
citizen and respected the majesty of the
laws, national and state, but he prayed
God to allow him 10 be at home when the
deputy marshal, provided for in the pend
ing bill, called at his residence This
declaration was greeted with applause
by the occupants Of the galleries. Con-
tinulng, he challenged any Senator
within the sound Of his voice with a
drop of patriotic blood in his veins, to
stand up and indorse such proposition.
By this time many OF the RepublicanSena.
tors who had been down in the restaurant
or In their committee rooms came TO the
rescue of Senator Hoar, who was utterly
unable to cope with the logic and re-
partee of the Senator from Delaware
Several times Senator Hoar interrupted
him, but each bout resulted in a "knock
down" for Delaware Finally Senator
Spooner, whose days in the Senate are
numbered, could stand the pressure no
longer, and rose and stated that the
committee on privileges and elections
had agreed to strike ont the "domicili.
airy provision Instantly Senator
Gray congratulated the Wisconsin
Senator for refusing to sanction such
an unpatriotic enactment. Then fol
lowed long discussion as TO whether
the committee had actually stricken ont
the Objectionable language, the
Democrats showing that it was in the
House and Senate prints of ths bill in
two places The Democrats realized that
they had the Republicans in tight
place, and 1t was painful to witness the
contortions Of Senator Hoar while the
smoking out process was being
performed by Senator Gray, ably as.
sisted by Senator'S Morgan. Daniel and
George. Finding himself completely trap.
ped, Senator Hoar attempted to wrigRle
out Of his uncomfortable position hy

the rescue Of his colleague from Massa.

tence. which, when interpreted, meant
that the Objectionable clauses had been

There was an interesting debate in the
United States Senate yesterday over the
election bill. Mr. Gray of Delaware, who
is one of the best equipped ,,debaters in
the Senate, raked the bill fore and aft,
particularly. the domiciliary clause which
provides that supervisor of elections,
to be selected "discreet" man. NAV

He very properly characterized 1t as an
infamous provision The Republican
side SPUR ned under sMr. Gray's power
full exposure Of this monstrous clause,
and Mr.. Spooner came to the rescue, as.
sorting that the clause had been struck
out by the committee. But Mr.. GRAY
showed that il was in the bill as reported
whereupon Mr.. Hoar claimed that it twas
only mistake of the clerk or printer, I"
but he subsequently admitted that the
mistake" might have been his own
Mr. Edmunds was the only Senator who
had the hardihood to defend the clause,
while Mr.. Teller, Republican, of Colorado,
had the manliness to declare that Mr..
Grays denuneiation Of the domiciliary
clause twas none to severe" Before
adjournment Mr.. Hoar again endeavored
TO absolve himself from blame in the
matter by asserting that the mistake
was on the part Of the printer" The in
dications are that many Republican SEN
ators will besick OF this election bill by
the time The Democratic Senator's have
exposed its enormities Bal timore Sun.

MORE than year ago the EVENING
JOURNAL, in showing how Councilman
Cotton attempted 10 meet the require
ments of the charter by transfer Of
mortgsged property from j. Eldridge
Pierce to himself, incidentally showed
also that the fdueiary positions held by
Pierce deserved some serious attention
from those interested. The property
transferred from Pierce to Cotton to
give the latter a freehold of $500
was worth about $4,000 and
was mortgaged, in two mortgages, for
81. 600. The second mortgage. which
was held by the City Loan Association,
the concern which Pierce was managing,
was suddenly lifted on the next day after
the publication in the EVENING JOURNAL,
to enable Pierce to show the officers OF
the loan association the record, If thew
became suspicious, and say that the
mortgage WAS paid and that the state
ment rejecting on him was UNI
true, and to rush into print t,
say that the EVENING JOURNAL
had told -four lies" of assorted sizes anC
graduated malignity. The EVENING
JOURNAL told the truth about Pierc'
eighteen months $50. That real estate
transaction between Pierce and Coltol
revealed q state of things which nigh

THE Young Mems Republican Club
last night elected a successor to j.
Eldridge Pierce, who has been treasurer
Of that organization for several years,
but who has disappeared pending the
investigation Of his accounts as secre'
tsry and treasurer Of the City Loan AS
ISOLATION. The members of the club say
that he has kept the accounts between
the club and himself accurately. Il is to
their interest to say SO. There has been
already TOO much Of the business mis-
manag ement Of the club made public to
reflect to its credit The fact that an
auditing committee was appointed by
the club, and upon the report Of this
committee another man was elected
treasurer in the place of the man in
whose speedy return they profess to have
faith, shows conclusively that the
monetary affairs Of the club have not
been conducted satisfactorily. The $500
deal made BY young Kellum. who was one
Of the trusted members Of the organiza-
tion, has never been lost sight Of, aud he
is now ont on bail pending trial, for
swindling those who had confidence In him.
There are several members Of the club
who were very active in the last cam
paign, against whose characters there are
many ramors. While the Climb is com
posed Of the most respectable men in the
party there are some very active mem
hers who might be suppressed With
great advantage to the character and
standing Of the club These men are
well known and the fair, honest and re-
spectacle members OF the club owe it ia
themselves TO suppress or dismiss those,
not offensive partisans" merely, but
men whose influences on the negroes are
disgusting ard baneful.
