Gals in the House During the
Election Bill Debate-Denun-
citation for Tarnmanyites and
Confederate Ghosts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Mr. Aldrich,
Of Chicago, opened the debate on the
election bill this morning with a vigor-
Dus defense of the Republican attempt
TO check the democratic frauds in
that great city and put down the Gar
ter Harrison ring"
Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, one of the Re
publican orators OF the Northwest, fol-
lowed with a brilliant speech. Il was
not one of those" he began, who be
iieved this session would pass without
an unseemly display OF partisan con-
tentIon. Study of the origin and his
tory OF the Democratic party convinced
lne that the only thing that could unite
the Democracy was some project to un-
dermine the freedom and fairnesSOf
elections. The repeal of laws this bill
seeks TO wipe out means that hereafter
an American citizen has no claim upon
!he nation for the security of his citizen
ship. 1t is the last maneuver in a politi-
cal revolution by which within one
generation the cOuntry, victorious over
the rebellion of turbulent states, abdi-
cafes its historic srelalioE, TO its citizens
and commits them for protection to the
influences that deny their rights. 1t
began by open conspiracy to nullify the
amendments Of the constitution and to
leave a helpless and despised, but loyal
race, with no rights as citizens and few.
If we may believe the reports last week
from Roanoke, from Birmingham and
from New Orleans, IS human beings.
The success of that. conspiracy is the
most mournful episode in the history of
popular government in the world. The
brief and pitiful struggle Of
THE OUTCAST RACE
and their friends of our own blood and
their vain appeal for their protection, is
q story of national humiliation which
hasin it much to discourage the intelli-
gent friends of republican instltutioas.
Great as is the responsibility of the
South. more solemn still the RESPONSE
bility of the North for Its miserable ac
Guiescence in these wrongs and crimes
1T is not my purpose to enter upon
any defense OF john |. Davenport. l
know that he is an officer OF district
court presided over by Democratic
Judge appointed by Mir. Cleveland. He
never crossed the path of an honest
man. Tammany hates him with an I'M
restrained ferOcity because upon every
secret device of professional politics he
mas turned the search light of the
Jaw. The quarrel is not with him, but
with the law, of which he is the serv-
AM. The political corporation which
liyes by tithes eXacted from the vices,
She misfOrtunes. the salaries, the con-
tracts. the investments and the ambi-
UOus of our great American. Babylon

Mr.. COombs, of Brooklyn, supported
the bill.
Then came Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine.
against the measure.
Every Democratic. speech" he said,
s'has demonstrated that this is TO be
blow at the fundamental principles I'M

GHOSTS OF THE CONFEDERACY
have fitted about these halls and glib
Dered OF a defeated conspiracy. The
vice president Of the United States has
been accused Of undue sympathy with
your struggle to capSiZe the govern
ment, yet you do nor complain. Not a
Union soldier sits about the cabinet
table" Republican applause.
Mr. Boutelle then went Oh to take up
the records of the Democratic senate
committees. beginning with the presi-
dent pro tenn. Nj. Harris, showing that
almost without exception they had
served in the Confederate army. He
reviewed the committees in the house
from the speaker down to the commit
tee on pensions, showing now They were
dominated by eX-COuTederateS.
Mr.. Wilson. ne said, had erected Mr..
Springer from the loyal states as chair
man of the ways ard means. and Hol-
man had been dep2sed by triumphant
Democracy with a Confederate.
Il declare here NOW, on my own re-
sp0nsibility as preventative, that NJ
more mischievous doctrine, no more
deadly blow at our institutions, at the
es ,ence Of our nationality of our cOun
try. can be dealt than by the denial o
the right of this imperial government Il

Republican applause.

against applying he epithet dough
