his constitutional rights at my hands, as
much as the President of the United
States is, and he will have it if know
how to give it. i
Shortly afterwards MI: Morgan got ~.
tosa colloquy with Mr.. Hawley as to the
democracy of President Cleveland, Mr.;
Hawley remarking that man who had
got the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dency on three several occasions must
need be a Democrat
well" said Mr.. Morgan General. l..Bragg
stated at the ST. Louis convention tnat
he loved Grover Cleveland for the enemies
he had made, including of course the
class of eminent statesmen and poll
ticians. Now if the democracy OF the
United States should conclude that u
did not love him for the friends he had
made, Mr.. Cleveland would be in BAD
way, and 1 should be very sorry, but
he is not making friends on the other
side of the chamber. He is only making
temporary allies, under brief coalltlon
and for temporary purpose"
Mr. Voorhees, here interposed with
sudden suggestion that the Senate go IN
to executive session. Mr. Morgan assented,
saying that later on in the session ne
might say something more.
Mr.. Chandler again offered sthe resolu-
tion offered by him last week, calling. on
the Secretary of the Treasury for: 1nfof-
nation as to the Fairchild investigation
of the New York custom house. 1t Went
over until tomorrow. :,
Mr.. Dolph also offered resolution call
ing on the Secretary of the. Interior for
information as to pensions paid to, per-
sons residing abroad and it went over
till tomorrow.
The Senate after an executive session
adjourned.
In the House.
In the House today the Federal election
bill was taken up. Mr.. Dearmond, DEM,
of Missouri, in advocating the repeal OF
the election laws, said that they had
been enacted in order to repress intelli-
gence in the South. They had been
passed to put ignorance in power and to
remove intelligence.
In interrupting, Mr.. Dearmond, Mr..
Ray, Rep, of New York, said that the
election law had been passed with the
help of many prominent Democrats from
New York
Mr.. Dearmond inquired what the names
of those Democrats were.
Mr.. Ray said that he could at this
moment recall one name, that of Hon.
Samuel S. Cox.
Mr. Wise, Dem, of Virginia, denied the
statement, and declared that Mr.. Cox had
both spoken and voted against the passage
of these laws
Mr.. Gillette, Rep, of i Massachusetts,
spoke against theF bill, referred to the
beneficial effects which had resulted
from election laws in the city of New
York, and paid his respects to Tammany
hall. The gentleman from New York,
(Mr. Fellows) had said few days ago in
defending Tammany hall, that if these
laws were repealed the Democratic
majority in New York would be in
creased by 10000 votes. Nobody accused
Tammany of anything but love of spoils.
In the opinion of the people the exis-
tence of Tammany hall and its over
and dangerous
Mr.. Wheeler, DEM, Of Alabama, spoke
in advocacy of the bill.
Mr.. Blair, ..Rep. of New Hampshire, op-
posed the measure, but his remarks were
very brief, as his throat was not in con
dition to make any extended speech. He
found time, however, to pay tribute to
ing one of the ablest and most conscien-
tious men who had ever administered
election laws or any other laws.
Br Blair then obtained leave TO extend
his remarks in the Record and the House
adjourned.
AnotheS Repeal Bill.
The House comnSstseeoon banking and
currency had hearsng gsthis morning on
the Oates bill for the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on state banks.
This bill,varies from the others in that
it simply..suspends the tax as to all notes
issued to circulate as money, provided
there shall first be deposited with the
state treasurer or other safe depository
an amount of lawful money of the
United States or the solvent bonds of the
par value of the state municipalities,
equal to the aggregate amount of notes
proposed to be issued, which shall be
held as security, and provided also, that
the aggregate amount of such state bank
issues shall in no case exceed SIS s.per
capita of the population of the state.
~Tattered and Torn Paper Money.
The Treasury Department is redeeming
United States paper money and national
bank notes at the rate of about 81, $50, 900
a day. The paper money coming in for
redemption is of an unusually dirty and
torn character and shows that it has been
used up to the limit, both as regards
health and safety of value During the
financial Strlngency, When paper money
and, in fact, every class of money was
scarce, banks and other holders of paper
money would not part with it as long as
a bill would hold together, but now that
money is becoming more plentiful, the
amount being sent daily to the treasury
for redemption is increasing. 1t takes
only forty eight hours to replace old bills
with new ones SO that the holders are
not kept out of their money long. Most
of the new notes issued in place of the
old notes destroyed are of the denomina-
tions of $5, $40 and $40.
