would invoke the operation of the law, and
there was not a man who did not know that
! 100 districts would invoke its operation.
Let him remind gentlemen that they would
| diminish the cost of the administration of
| the law in the ratio in which they dimin-
| ished fraudulent voting, false counting, bal
lot box stufing and suppression of votes.
lRepublican applause.
NECESSITY AND COST.
It would cost nothing if there was no need
| for it. This question would not rest until
| justice was done, and the conscience Of the
American people would not be permitted to
sleep until these great constitutional rights,
| equality of suffrage and freedom OF action
and popular thought, should be, not cold
formalities of constitutional enactment, but
a living birthright which the poorest and
humblest might comfortably enjoy and
which the richest and most powerful dare
| not deny. Republican applause
God put no nation in supreme place which
would not do supreme duty. [Applause.]
| God kept no nation in supreme place which
would not perform the supreme duty Of the
| hour. Applause This was the supreme
| duty of the nation-to enforce the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States. Let
| gentlemen on the other side obey them as
the Republicans obeyed them; for he told
them that the people of the North would
not permit two votes in the South to count
as much as five votes in the North. Re-
publican applause.
A QUESTION OF TROOPS.
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, said that the
leader of the House had seen fit to keep
silent until the question arose as to whether
or not troops should be sent to the polls.
Since the Praetorian guards had proclaimed
ALok ho anIh a
auction there had never been presented SO
sad spectacle as that presented by the rep
| resentatives of the free American people
coming here and declaring that they were
| willing to go voluntarily under despotism.
Democratic cheers. The old ship of state
was to be scuttled on the anniversary of her
first sailing. The gentleman had said that
the North would not tolerate the counting
in the South-the time had come when there
could not be in the American Republic an
enslaved South and free North. Demo-
cratic applause.
The Republicans might, like madmen,
grasp the pillars of the Constitution and pull
down the edifce, but, like Samson, they
would perish in the wreck. If he could reg
lister a wish in heaven he would ask not for
an extension of boundaries or the multipli-
cation of territory; not for flowing rivers and
fertile fields, but better far than all that, he
would ask that the man who laid violent
hands upon the Constitution might drop
dead as did the sacreligious ancient who
laid his impious hand upon the ark of the
csvenant of the living God. democratic

THE FINAL APPEALS.
Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas, made an elo-
quent plea in favor of the bill. Mr.. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, said that the peo-

quiesence and obedience to the Constitution,

tion to demand that in every part of the
