testant (Mr. MooreD was entitled to the
seat. On the face of the returns Mr.. Fun
ston had an apparent plurality of eighty
one votes. The majority of the committee
found that fraudulent registration and yot-
ing took place in wyandotte and Allen
counties on which the contestant claimed
a plurality of 1854 votes. After carefully
examining all the evidence Mr.. Jones de-
clared that the majority had come to the
conclusion that Mr.. Moore and not Mr.
Funston had been elected.
Mr.. Mccall; for the Contestce.
Mr.. Mccall (Mass) made the opening ar
gunent of the contestee. He referred to
the fact that Mr.. Paynter Ry.). a member
of the committee on elections, who had Just
been nominated for judge of the appellate
court Of Kentucky, had dissented from the
opinion Of his democratic colleagues, and
had filed a minority report in favor of Mr..
Funston.
Mr.. Mccall referred to the fact that the
House had already UEseated three republi-
cans. and said it was a little extraordinary
that in all the contests before this Congress.
be held Illegal and insufficient. except In
the single instance when Ii was in favor
OF Il democrat. Under our system, he said.
a small majority should be deemed as eff
fCctive and sacred as a large one and he
hoped the sense OF justice in the House
would not permit the overthrow of Mr
FurstCn's title to his seat. TO which he was
elected by 81 plurality.
Mr. Funston Presents His Side.
Mr.. Funston, the contestec followed Mr.
Mccall with a close analysis OF the testi-
mony. presenting his side of the case in a
