At the expiration Of the morning hour
Mr. Walser explained his vote on the
resolution relative TO the Force bill. He
did not believe the pending bill in the
United State Senate Force bill 1t IS
a bill for fair elections else.
He undertook in a lengthy speech to
vindicate the Republican party. He re-
viewed the election law of this State, and
said it was as much force law as the
one proposed in Congress.
Bills Acted Upon.
House resolution to instruct our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress
relative to the Force bill. Mr.. Turner
offered an amendment to make it
a resolution of thanks for their efforts to
defeat the measure.
Pending the adoption of the amend
ment, Mr.. Turner, iD an eloquent, able
and intensely patriotic speech, portrayed
the evils that would flow from the pas
sage of pending Election bill. His plea
for our homes and our liberties was
touching and pathetic.
Mr.. Walser earnestly opposed the res
olution. He ''went for" the Mississippi
State Constitution, and the Election law
of South Carolina. He regretted that
this matter had been brought up in this
body, as it was not matter for State
Legislatures 70 UlSCuSS. Lucy udN0
other business to attend to.
Mr.. Bell said that in justice to the
people he represented he desired to say
ought to maka creditable display at the
Columbian Exposition, but while the
National Congress threatens to jeopodize
our liberties We cannot afford to contrib
ute one cent. In referring to the gentle
man from Davidson he said that that
gentleman was responsible for this dis
cussion to-day. And that the dead is
sues and memories of the war had al
ways been 1esurrected by the Republican
party He, with fervent eloquence, re-
ferred to the rights Of the people, and
regretted that the occasion for these resO-
lutions had presented itself.
Mr.. Lucas said he had not
intended to say a word this morn
ing, but the gentleman from David
son had said that elections in the
east are unfair, and he just wanted TO
say it was false. He said that DR.. Mott
was in Halifax comfy looking after the
election last year, and if there was any
rascality he supposed Mt was at the
bottom Of it.
Mr.. Bull said he did not wish to say
anything, but he did not propose to be
bull-dozed. He said he was raised at
the North and had inherited his Repub
Iicanism and was proud of the heritage.
He came here as teacher aud as a min
lister of the gospel because he had right
to do so. He thought the election bill
was designed to promote good. bnt he
did OF know whether he would vote for
il or not; he was neutral.
Mr.. Aycock Does the Senator think
that there is a free vote and liz count
in Craven county
Mr.. BULL will answer the question
in a general way.
Mr. Aycock Do you know of your
own knnWIedpe of any fraud in YOnr
