the unbending rectitude on the democratic
! side! There was a man who had
not been accused of the expenditure
of a dollar, IN whose benefit it
was not alleged that a single fraudulent
ballot had been cast. Against him came
the contestant, who was not a resident of
| the district and who had spent money
through his agents until the district was de-
bauched. Mr.. Fellows was listened to with
marked attention and was loudly applauded.
he occupied mora than an hour and his
time was, at the suggestion of Mr.. Wheeler
OF Alabama, extended half an hour. He
occupied, however, but fifteen minutes Of
the extension and then yielded his remain
| ing time TO Mr.. Cochran Of New York, but
against this objection was made.
The speaker pro tenn. (Mr. Compton Of
| Maryland) ruled that Mr.. Fellows had
right to yield and Mr.. Cochran took the
floor in advocacy of Mr.. Rockwells claim.
dis language was scathing and his oratory
| was impressive. He minced no words ard
his philippe addressed againstthe majority
| repnrt was very powerful and was received
with tumultuous applause by his party
| colleagues.
| O'FERRALL'S CLOSING ARGUMENT.
Mr.. O'Ferral rose TO reply and to make
the closing argument in favor Of Mr.. Noyes.
| he hoped that calm would succeed TO the
hurricane which had just passed over the
House. The speech Of the gentleman from
New York reminded him of little story.
A belated traveller was journeying over
| country road in the midst of q storm. His
horse he guided by the flashes Of lightning.
| But, although the storm was a fierce one,
the flashes were intrequent, while the peals
| Of thunder were incessant Finally, the
| wayfarer sent up an invocation, 40 Lord,
l would like TO have a little more light
and not quite 80 much noise" "
| tLong continued laughter In the course
Of his remarks Mr.. O'Ferrall referred to the
| criticisms that had been made upon bis de-
| mocracy and to his supposed preference for
a certain candidate for the presidency. He
did have such preference, he said, as was
achis privilege, and he used metaphor char
terizing Senator Hill as fox and exPresi-
| dent Cleveland as a lion, and his reference
TO the magnificent and grand Grover
Cleveland Of the state Of New York."
brought down thunders of applause.

| the previous question was ordered without
| division. The question recurred on the reso-
| lutions OF the minority as a substitute for

| taken on the first resolution of the minority,
which las a substitutel declares that Mr..
