Mr.. Faulkner's Reply to Mr.. Chandler

During the session of the United States
Senate on Saturday there was inquiry as to
where the Senate bill was at that time.
"There seems to be so much doubt as to
where the bill is" interjected Mr.. Chandler,
'that suggest that it may be found at the
White House"
There was a roar of laughter from the gall
leries, which lasted half a minuted, and
which the Vice. President found great diff
Guilty in checking.
81 will say to the Senator from New
Hampshire" answered Mr.. Faulkner, that
although the tariff bill is not at the White
House now, it will be there very soon to re-
ceive the signature of the President"
Again there was round Of applause.
Senator Chandler was smiling maliciously
LET me ask, said he, chat as the bill is
to 90 to the White House soon. what will
be its form ?"
cit will be in such form, said Mr.. Faux
ner, with vim, 'as a majority of the Demo
cratic Congress may agree upon, and can
say with equal confidence that it will go to
the President without the approval of the
Senator from New Hampshire"
Il can only hope" added Mr.. Chandler
'that the departure of the bill for the White
House may proceed with due haste"
Mr.. Faulkner said he was surprised to
hear the suggestion of haste in view of the
delays in which the Senator from New
Hampshire had participated.

The New York Sun, referring to the move
ment towards erecting a monument to John
Brown at Harper's Ferry, says President
Bracket, of Storer College, is credited with
being one of the first to suggest the erection
of A monument to John Brown, on the site
of "John Browns Fort" at Harper's Ferry.
Frederick Douglass writes that he has no
fear for the monument because of any local
resentment. He adds "Men nowadays
lose sight of the apparent wildness of the
raid of John Brown upon Harper's Ferry,
and think only of The heroic character OF
the man." James NJ. Mason, whose father
was the author of the fugitive slave law,
writes from his home at Charles Town, the
scene of Browns trial and execution, that
so far as he can learn no one in that region
is likely to make any objection TO the mon
ument, though be questions the taste of thus
honoring a man whom he considers blind
fanatic We do not suppose Judge D. B..
Lucas would question the taste" of thus
honoring John Browns memory as he, when
the southern people were in the throes of
reconstruction. delivered fulsome eulOgy
of the murderer of Hayward Shepherd, "the
industrious, iuoffensive colored man." By
the way, it is suggested that the white peo-
pie erect a monument to the memory of
Browns first victim at Harper's Ferry.

LICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. |, 1894. '
TO the Republicans of Texas:
The election to which we have
all looked forward with so much
anxiety has now become matter
of history; its results and the in
fluence they will have upon the
financial and commercial policies
of this country will be watched
with much interest. The tremen-
dOus tidal have which swept the
country from Maine to California,
and fix from the Gulf to the Brit
ish possessions, was the natural
revulsion Of sentiment engendered
during the campaign Of 1892 for
Democratic campaign purposes.
The large reduction in the Re.
publican vote Of Texas at the late
election, was not unforeseen by
those who chose to study the con-
ditions surrounding our party,
from an unbiased standpoint, and
that it was not still farther de-
creased may be attribute to the
large vote Of the black counties
east by courtesy for their colored
representative on one of the State
tickets.
From the returns sent in, and
the facts as they become known, it
is appearent that the ~One desire
of a majority Of the Republicans of
Texas, is to defeat the Democratic
party at any cost. 1t matters not
how this may be accomplished, or
by what means the result is at
tanned; the one desire which seems
paramount to all others, is to, in
some way, encompass the defeat Of
our ancient enemy. The possible
condition which this State might
be called upon to face, as were our
neighboring states Kansas and
Colorado has not for one moment
been considered, or the lesson
which they have bitterly regretted,
been for one moment needed.
The sentim ent of the American
people is undoubtedly largely in
favor of rotation in office, not only
as to individuals, but as to par
ties. 1t is the peoples safeguard
and the best guarantee that their
interests shall be at all times pro-
tected; and it is the strength OF
this sentiment that impells the
constantly shifting voter to take
up like new toy, the first or
ganiZation which seems to give
any promise of the looked for re.
lief: 1t will become evident tC
the close student Of political events
that no third party does or car
maintain any of the advantages
which may, under certain cOndi
tions, have been gained in some
localities; that in all government
there are, and will continue
to be, through all time, bu
two large, we'll defined anC
permanent political parties
presenting both sides OF thu
same question. The tendency OF
the part Of the Republicans to for
swear party allegiance for the pros
pect Of temporary defeat Of tn
Democratic party, locally, is nue.
to be regretted, and can only b
excused on the ground Of failur
to put out a party candidate, an
the failure to put out such a part
candidate is equally reprehensibl,
