The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-09-21

Mr. Catchiurs said that 10 was hardly
7 worth while TO say anything iu vlnlica-
. ton of the parliamentary rulings made by
the speaker to-day. IL was cruel fsar-
. Jisticall}J Of the gentleman from Maine
. to advise the democrats that they were
. I'm a state of humiliation. He lCatchiugs)
/ had not discovered it himself. He
/ thought the democrats We're getting along
pretty well. Laughter The trouble
/ with the gentleman from Maine was
that he had discovered that
there were other methods than
those invented by him and his ass0-
Ciatcs In the tlfty-tirst congress by which
the House could do business. Applause
Besides the methods now proposed were
cmiueutlY fair. Applause. The gentle
man had had q little taste of the power
of the House, and it was natural that he
should chafe TO find out that the House
could do business without resorting TO
the rules of the Fifty-tirst congress.
This House stood ready TO do business
whenever it chose without the cOusento of
the gentlemen from the other side APP
plause.
WANTS TO SAVE A BALLOT BOX.
Mr. Henderson said that resolution
which it was proposed TO adopt under
circumstances that were without parallel
was aimed at the ballot box. in the
lame of the great commonwealth which
he represented. which respected the laws,
which loved liberty and which hOnOred
the ballot box. he entered his protest
against a measure which would destroy
the only safety Of the republic the
ballot box. Republican applause.
Mr.. Payne of New York said congress
was asked TO place New York along with
the solid south. Let the gentleman have
care. There was a time before the war
when southern slavery was opposed
by philanthropic men in the north, but
the feeling was not general Then the
slavery advocates wanted to deprive
Kansas of its legal state government. and
the republican party arose. The demo
Gratis might deprive the negroes in the
south of their votes, but when they IT
tempted 10 deprive the white men of the
north of their rights the day of nemesis
would come. Applause.
sHowERING IT on THE MAINE MAN.
Mr. Hatch sarcastically and vigo-
rOusly alluded to Mr. Reed as the man
who in the Fifty-frst congress had ruled
the House with hand of iron, and who
now came in and protested against a ma
lority of the representatives of the Amer
lean people controlling its actions. The
action to-day was not the action of a deS-
potlc speaker; il was the action of the
House. Applause II was not the &C
ton OF man who counted men in the
CIOdh TOULuS or men VINO were l,OOU miles
away from Washington. 1t was
the action of a majority on
determining that it would come to a vote
on certain measure. Applause The
gentleman from Maine had said referring
TO remark of Reed) that beyond this
was the ballot and he (Hatch) thanked
God for it. Applause Referring TO a
remark made by MIR. Henderson, to the
effect that if this bill was passed, in the
great cities the polls would be surrounded
by rabble, Mr.. Hatch declared vehe-
mently that to-day the head and front of
the rabble was John l. Davenport; and
this declaration was loudly cheered by
the democrats.
MIR. FELLOWS ON MIR. BURROWS.
Mr.. Fellows made a brief and humor-
GUS speech, in which he referred to the
calm and suave manner in which yester-
day and the day before Mr.. Burrows had
suggested TO the speaker that of course
there could be no objection to this or to
that. He contrasted that manner with
the manner in which the gentleman had
addressed the House to-day.
The report of the committee on rules
was then agreed tO-yeas l76, nays g
and the speaker proceeded to call the
committees for reports.
Mr.. Tucker reported the federal cleo
lions bill, and it was placed upon the
House calendar; and then the House, at
As o'clock, adjourned.
