Hoar resumed his speech on the cleo
hons bill. DE reminded the southern sem
ators they had pledged their official oaths
and honor as men that they would give
their devotion to constitutional amend
ments II they were only let back into the
old condition in the union free from the
consequences OF the rebellion, and now
they were denouncing these amendments.

Mathews, the burning OF ms widows

Hoar, directing himself directly TO the
southern senators. told them they had ex-

Now try justice.
Wolcott made an animated speech
against the bill. IL was, he said, the
source OF great regret to him
to be called upon to differ
with any considerable number OF his
party and TO decline to take the path the
older leaders pointed out, but nearly one
third OF the session was through and day

land court bills. But IT was not only be-

would be impossible to enforce such law
against the united opposition Of the
white population in the southern
states. The attempt would bring back
the old days Of terrorizing and the weaker
race would be the sufferers. There were
other things more important and vital TO
the welfare Of the nation than that the

ballots. Referring TO the question put by
Eustis 10 Dolph recently as 10 what the
people of Oregon would do under similar
circumstances If the Chinese voters were
in the majority, Wolcott said
Dolph's answer seemed evasive. He
(WolcotD could not speak for Oregon,
but he gave II as his opinion that In Col
orado II such state OF affairs existed
and the Chinese vote was opposed to the
united and intelligent white vote, the
white vote in some method would gov
