not discussing the question of necessity,
he was discussing the question of power.
Then Ray Crop, N. W and Tucker got
into constitutional controversy as to
the rights of the States, the Republican
contending that the United States ought
to have the eight to supervise elections
In which the interest; of the whole
country were involved, and the Demo
crat held the contrary. Then Tucker
paid his respects to John 1. Davenport
and severely criticised his action. Ray
spoke in defense of Davenport.
Tucker continued and said he be-
longed to a party that did not believe in
anything sectional. The Republicans
had violated the pledges OF faith, had
over ridden the constitution, mad denied
the right of habeas corpus, had shown
the people that they were not worthy of
confidence, and that tho people had
elected a Democratic president and n
Democratic Congress. (Applause.)
Brosius (Rep., Pa. } congratulated the
gentleman from Virginia on his able
speech, and he desired to emulate his
example in one particular. He would
be glad to discuss the measure from a
non partisan point of view. He believed
that underneath the fretting stream of
our politics there was patriotism; and to
that patriotism he appealed to day. He
then spoke against the proposed repeal.
The bill then went over for the
present. Laphan from the com mittee
on military affairs reported q resolution
calling upon the secretary of war for
information as to the authority by
which the United States troops were
permitted to shoot down settlers on tho
Cherokee strip. Flynn, (Rep. Okla.,)
spoke for the resolution and had
several newspaper paragraphs read
descriptive OF the situation of the newly
settled territory. He denounced the
action of the war department and the
interior department on the premises
but without action. On the resolution

6 II Q o d tt

Were your eyes ever shocked
was your nose ever offended
by anything you ever saw or
smelled In our store?
We think not.
Our constant aim Is to give
to our establishment an ap.
pearance and atmosphere In
dicative of our goods-pure,
fresh and wholesome. Scrupu-
lons cleanliness Is, with us, a
necessity, and Our clerks and
statesmen are so instructed.
We think that this care on
our part convinces customers
of our desire to please, but 1t
is not done for show-it Is a
veritable part of our business
system.
Everything you may pur-
chase from us can be relied on
for its perfect purity and whole
