SPEECH OF THos. E. WATSON.


Mr.. Speaker-Y yesterday when
the House adjourned we had just
listened to an argument from my
friend from Brooks, Mr.. Rountree, in
favor of the sitting member and one
from the gentleman from Maconsin
favor of the contestant. Both claim
ed to be fortified by the facts sustain
ed by the law and certain of the con-
clusion. was very much in the
position Of the darkey who heard at
the camp meeting that there were
only two roads-one leading to hell
and the other to damnation, and who
thought that under the circumstances
he had better scoot for the woods.
Having since then studied the sub
ject, l am convinced that if we stand
by the law of the land, Mr.. Proctor
is entitled to his seat. Mr.. Speaker,
this case arises briefly from these
facts: In Camden county, at the
usual time, an election is held for
Representative. The managers con.
solidate the returns, counting some,
ignoring others, and d. R. Proctor
Is declared elected. Anthony Wilson,
his opponent, denies the truth Of
Proctor's election and enters into a
contest.
Now, I submit this proposition :
The law presumes that all public
officers do their duty properly and
the moment the election managers
declare the election Of Proctor, the
presumption arises in his favor that
he is so elected. This presumption
holds good until it is upset by legal
proof.
Again, Anthony Wilson starts out
by claiming that Proctor is illegally
in his seat. This assertion he must
show by proper evidence. In other
words, the burden of proof is upon
him y; he must make out his case.
The truth of these premises l sup
pose no one will question. They are
suggested by common sense, sanction
ed by laws and founded In justice.
But If they be true, they settle his
case. | shall show that the evidence
does not upset the presumption of
Proctor's title, nor does it remove
the burden of proof from Wilson.
If | am correct the conclusion is In
evitable. 1t follows as naturally as
the shadow follows the substance.
Let us see what is the evidence.
According to statute Anthony Wilson
served notice upon Proctor of the
contest. The time is fixed, the
place designated, the witnesses sub
poened and the Justice of Peace
chosen. The parties appear, evidence
introduced and the investigation
closed. What is that evidence? 1t
is contaiQed in nine pages now before
us, and attached to it is the certificate
OF the Justice and the agreement of
both parties that such is the testimony.
What does it show? That the re-
turns from two precincts were re-
jected by the manager because they
We're directed to the Clerk of the
Superior Court. That the returns
Of two other precincts were rejected
because they arrived after II o'clock,
m, on the day following the election.
Were these rejected returns brought
before the Justice to show who would
have been elected by them? They
were not. Admit that the managers
did wrong in casting out all Of these
returns and still we cannot redress
the wrong because there is no evidence
to show us that they contained the

DR.. John Wherreli, of Kansas City, Mo-,
will deliver q free lecture at Plymouth
Church Thursday evening. at 8 o'clock. on
The Drink Problem and Its Solution"
DR.. Wherrell is lecturer of rare ability,
and the public will doubtless avail them
selves of the opportunity to hear this dis
tinguished scientist discuss question of
such vital i'm portance as the solution of the
drink problem. We clip the following from
tho Kansas City Gazette of Jan. %, 1892:
''Dr John Wherrell. the discoverer of
the Wherrell cure for drunkenness, has
been personally known to the editor of the
Gazette for at least twenty years. Proba-
bly, no man is better known among the edu-
Gated people of tho State than DR.. Wher-
rell, more Familiarity known as Professor
Wherrell. He was one of the original
members of the Kansas Academy of Sci
snce. and the printed transactions of this
society bear record OF his labors in the
department of botany. chemistry and phys
iolOgy. As q lecturer. as q scholar, and as
an experimental Psychologist in certain
lines of work. he has few equals. HIS
moral character Is above reproach, and his
intellectual ability commands the respect
of all who meet him."

q couple of days after he got here. He
was paid by a warrant drawn by Mr.. Som
erby and Supreme Accountant walker.
The duties of supreme adjuster are to
pass upon oil notes, bonds and securities
that are referred to him by the executive
committee. lie has done nothing
in this line since his appointment as it is
claimed that be must be confirmed By the
executive committee. Witness testified
concerning McMeachim's resignation of
the office of supreme adjuster and of his
tMcM.'sl subsequent protest against the ap-
pcintment of witness. Saw letter from
McMeachIm that accompanied the protest.
1t was in the hands of Mr.. Somerby, who IS
McMeachlm's father-ln-law. The letter de-
manded the withdrawal of the resignation.
The letter was written 40 or three weeks
ago. He did not know the reason for Me-
Meachm's resignation and had no knowl-
edge of the Kansas CITY bonds in which
McMeachim had induced some of the
branches to invest and which had caused
trouble.
Mr.. Hawkins. at the conclusion of the
testimony of this witness, said that when
they called their next witness 1t wouid be
to proceed upon a different line. and that
they were not then ready TO do. The court
then announced that adjournment would be
taken until o A. NJ. Wednesday morning.

to Frances that she was constantly COM

man between whom and herself there
had sprung up, such a decided liking,
almost at first sight. The intimacy

He was invariably accompanied by his
great FRIEND. Undoubtedly Mr.. John
Smith, Junior, was to be seen in the most
irreproachable society. Perhaps it was
due to Josselyn's superior social standing;
he probably took young Smith every
where as his friend, and as he certainly
behaved like gentleman, no awkward
questions were asked.
Fastidious, exclusive Frances felt some
surprise at this, which reached its cul-
mination when she met them at last at
