that there is a man on the floor OF the House
Of Delcoates of Virginia whose vote Tor thls

self. but. sirs. / didn't come here 10 WORK III
the interest of myself. / was sent here by
the people 10 do as directed Ivy them as u
their interests and not mine. AS have
shown from time TO time by petitions from
those people / have been directed by them 10
vote for this bill, but. slrs, the only thihg lnay
was raised against me IN my canvass last lal
was that / was 90 closely connected Win Ial-
roads that | would not vote or 10 anything
for the relief of the people whom | came mere
to represent. That was the only thing raised
against me by either party. that / WouIu hoO

that would satisfy the people J came here 10

81 came here instructed from time TO time
To vote for some railroad legislation. ! have
said publicly, If the Kent bill was not saIls-
factory pet something that was better thal
that. but | would not 60 back aud race my
people without voting for some railroad iesls-
latiOn for their relief. MI. Speaker ana gen
lemen have set on the committee that this
bill came before ever since 1t has been con,
sidered. and / don't think that have missed
but one single meeting. 1 have heard ueiesa-
ton after delegation from every city OF VIZ,

have heard that old gentleman lrelerrlng 10
Mr. Kent nick NJ LIS bill and ask to have
pointed out 10 him anything IN IL "Alch is
not embraced in the statutes OF \ lrglhla'. MOI
one man has done il. j am no lawyer, but

was ANYTHING in that bill that was not en-
brsced in the statutes of Virginia. am a

me is this Is there any reason WHY corpo-
ration has a right TO 90 on WIN anything
which Is a violation OF the law.
DISASTROUS RESULTS.
"Just as sure as this House adJOurns,' con
timed Mr.. Withrow. without the passage OF
some railroad measure. there will be a bI
passed two years from now that Will give tho
railroads something that they don't want an1
the people also"
= In concluding Mr.. Withr0w said Now
/ gentlemen, in supporting Mr.. hent's bill. one
1 of the greatest reasons Tor sOdOlng that i hav'
= is because there has been nothing else intro
a duced here that would give those people tina

t Mr.. Goode followed MIR. WlthrOw with
X brief but fOrcible speech IN favor OF the OH
. lie gave several instances OF unjust dlscrlnll

Mr.. Kent next took the floor 70 advocate tn'
T measure. when Mr.. Ryan proposed that 1t b
q passed by until Monday. Mr.. Kent accepted
the proposition, and the bill was made "a con
t~inuiug special order Tor tomorrow.
