The House then went into Committee |
Of the Whole ,Nr. Dinglvy, Of Maine, In |
the chair for the further consideration |
Of the army appropriation.
Mr. Stone, Of Missouri, taking ad- |
vantage OF the wide Bcope allowed 10 !
general debate, entered upon a general |
denunciatiOn Of the Election bin, which |
he dea9miBa.sd az q menace 10 the in. !
tegFity OF the States, and to the liberties
Of the people. He referred to Mr.. |
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, ag representing |
the Oscar Wilde type OF sia;esmanship, |
aud to Senator Hoar as the maternal |
mascuiinity who represented the New |
England PeCksniH. He was heartily |
ufcd and bick OF this eternal cant aud |
hypocrisy.
Mr.. GroGyenorr OF Ohio, said tha. he |
would not attempt to follow or reply 10 |
the speech OF the gentleman from Mis. |
soGri. He much desired to RmpiiY the |
spirit OF the able speech Of the gentle
man from Texas Mr.. Llnhaml delivered
Saturday.
That speech had found responsive
echo in his heart, especially that por,
ton of it in which he had inyeigued |
agIiRa. the prescription Of Southern
men from the high Offices OF the govern.
ment. In spirit of fraternity, and OF
breaking down the barriers OF PE0scEiP. |
ton that had been bulli up, he demand.
ed that the Democratic party in its
national capacity should remove those
barriers. When the Democrats Of the
South furnished l53 electoral votes for
Ihe candidate OF the Democratic party,
why had the Democratic party steadily
refused to nominate for President or
Vice President any man who bad served
in the Confederate army.
Mr.. Enloe, Of Tennessee, inquired
why the Republican party had never
placed Bruce or Langston on the PIesi-
Dental ticket.
Mr.. Grosvenor replied that they had
meyer been candidates. The first rebel
ever appointed to q Cabinet office had
been appointed by U. S. Graut aud the
second by K b. Hay es Republican Rd.
mipistratinns had sent more Confederate
soldiers to foreign posts than had Dem
ocratic administrations.
Mr.. Laphaal said that in his speech he
did not mean to inspire any sectional
talk; his whole gpeesh was against sec
tionaiism. u there was anything OF
that in the Democratic party he hoped
that it would depart from II forever.
The time had come when every citizen
OF the United States was entitled to
every privilege and immunity which be.
lOnged TO him rs component part of
this great Government,
Sir. Spiuola, OF New York, said that
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gros.
yenor) asked why the Democratic party
did not put some Confederate soldier at
the head Of its ticket He would ask in
return why the Republican party, which
owed its power lu the North to the ne
gro vote. did not put some Colored man
on its ticket?
Mr.. G!osYenor suggested that two
members Of the Ohio House OF Repre-
BentativeB were Colored men.
Hr. Spinola-Fhat is an immense re-
ward for carrying thr Q or four Of the
largest States OF the Union--to whittle
them down to two insignificant seats in
the Ohio Legislature.
Mr.. Williams, o. Qhio--I object to the
gentleman calling the Ohio Legislature
insignificant because it elected New
York man to the United States Senate,

Mr.. spinola-Thnt was because it
knew where to find good man.
