Ai9SAA 49, -
Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, followed in the
same strain.
Then came Mr.. Boutelle, Of Maine,
against the measure.
Every Democratic speech" he said,
"has demonstrated that this is to be
blow at the fundamental principles
underlying this government.
~ thought the new generation would
Join hands with us in building up a
common country. For ten days the
sheeted ghosts of the Confeder9cy have
fitted about these halls and gibbered
OF a defeated conspiracy.
"The Vice President OF the United
States has been accused OF undue sym
pathy with your struggle TO capsize the
government, yet you do not complain.
Not Union soldier sits about the cabi-
net table" Republican applause.
Mr.. Boutelle then went on to take up
the records OF the senate committees,
beginning with the president pro tenn,
Mr.. Harris, showing that almost with
out exception they had served in the
Confederate army. He reviewed the
committees in the house, from the
speaker down TO the committee on pen
sions, showing how they, too, were
dominated by ex-Contederates.
BoUTELLE's HOT SHOT.
Mr.. Wilson, he said, had elected Mr..
Springer from the loyal states as chair
man OF the ways and means, and Hol-
man had been deposed by triumphant
Democracy with confederate. l de-
clare here now on my own responsi-
bility as q representative, that no more
misChievous doctrines, no more deadly
blow at our institutions, at the essence
OF our nationality of our country, can
be dealt than by the denial of the right
OF this imperial government to cross
tho borders of sovereign state" Re-
publican applause.)
ali such doctrines are to prevail, then
the cause for which land two million
OF nv northern countrymen fought
when the rebellion was put down, was
not victorious. (Renewed applause.
~ want you to understand" he con-
tinued, "that when you rely on the
dough faces OF Massachusetts and the
ballot box suffers OF Tammany Hal!
you are leaning on broken reed" Ap-
plause.
SPRINGER GETS MAD.
The house was listening eagerly.
Suddenly Mr.. Springer took exception
against applying the epithet dough
face" to a member of the house.
at is an epithet," replied Mr.. Bou-
telle, defantly, (which can be applied
with equal force rs well to the gentle
man from Illinois as the gentleman
from Massachusetts"
The house held its breath. Mr..
Springer's face grew white with rage.
do understand you to say that you
applied that epithet to mel" he
shouted.
"You understood it as we'll as you aro
able to understand anything" retorted
Boutelle.
81 want you to know, SIR" replied
Mr.. Springer, striding toward his adver-
sary with fire in his eyes, "that you
dare not apply such an epithet to me-"
'INr. Speaker, the gentleman from
Illinois can't be impertinent to me un'
der the guise of point of ORDER" re.
turned Mr.. Boutelle. "But l withdraw
the epithet," he continued, moving his
arm magnanimously in Mr., Springer's
direction, sin order that may go on
with my speech. l deny, however, that
it was nparliamentary. The attempt
to make it so is as silly as was the ut
tempt in the last Congress to take ex-
ception to the word 'mugwump.
Mr.. Springer was far IRON being sat
iafed with Mr.. Boutelle, but he seated
himself, and Mr.. Boutelle read the ab-
stract OF the law.
Mr. Marshall, OF Virginia, secured
five minutes in which to reply TO the
fiery utterances OF Mr.. Boutelle.
AHIr AT MAYNARD.
Mr.. Payne, of New York, opposed the
bill. 1t was, he said, but result Of the
methods which the south had adopted
regarding the ballot. He detailed at
great length the "theft Of the sen.
ate Of New York" by the Democrats in
1892, and the part taken by Judge |. II.
Maynard, who was nominated for gu
preme Judge by the New York Demo-
Gratis last Friday. "Why do you de-
mand honest elections?" he asked, ad.
dressing the Democratic side, when
YOU nominate for the highest judicial
position in the empire state acriminal?"
Mr.. Fitch, Of New York, chairman Of
the committee which reported the bill,
closed the debate for the Democrats,
1t seemed particularly fitting, he said,
that the last argument in favor OF the
repeal OF the laws should be made by
representative of New York city, where
they we're originated 1t is in that city
also that their operation is most con.
spicuous, and it is mainly on account OF
public indignation against them that
they are about to be repealed.
THE LAST GUN.
lie scored John 1. Davenport without
rostraint and traced the attempt Of the
Republicans at Albany and Washington
to legislate New York into tho Repub.
icRn line.
In conclusion he denied that the
question Of states, or the Interpretation
OF the constitution, was involved in this
repeal. 10 redeem the pledges made
