nessee had been disfranchised
HoAR AGAIN HOPS UP.
"Does the senator understand" =" Mr..
Hoar asked, that any persons in Tennes-
see were disfranchised except for rebel
lion; and, if not, then it is true that in
telligence and rebellion are synonymous{ ~
Il will not allow myself" Mr.. Harris
re eplied, ITO be diverted from my line of
argument. took very active part in
the struggle which took place between
1861 and 1865, and / do not intend to fight
the battles of that war over again to
crafty the prejudices, whims and ca
prices of the senator from Massachu-
setts"
After some further remarks, Mr.. Har-
ris resumed his seat, saying that he was
physically exhausted,
DANIEL REPLIES TO FRYE.
Mr.. Daniel, dem, of Virginia, again
took the floor, and criticised Mr. Frye Tor
picking up newspaper scraps and reading
them for partisan purposes. Whenever
that senator, he said, would rise and re-
buke persons of his own party. whom
Others thought worthy of criticism, he
Daniel would realize that the senator
was on a plane with the democrats of
Virginia. The people Of Virginia were
not Pharisees; and if they committed
wrong they did not do it in the
name of God, and Christianity and civil
izatiou. The senator from Maine, when
he chose to steal some islands and their
people, dropped all his qualms and scru-
pies and was ready to welcome that
spurious and muddy transaction That
was the biggest piece of counting out"
The senator from Maine, in the person of
Minister Stevens and with the military
at the polls, has counted in 1000 Amerf-
cans, and has counted out the rest Of the
people of those islands, changed the
government and was now ready to offer
for sale a government which had been
acquired by the aid Of that commissioner
of elections. The Senate, Mr.. Daniel CON
tinued, would be better employed If il
was solving some CT those problems in
finance and currency and taxation which
were pressing for solution. The Senate
should be dealing with them rather than
spending hours and days and weeks in
resolutions about distinctions, or in pick.
ing quarrels about a precinct election.
whether it be in Virginia, California,
Texas or Maine. [Applausel.
FRYE BLAMEs THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Frye said that he had no hesitation
in declaring that the only fault connected
with the Hawaiian islands was the fault
of the President of the United States,
that the only harm and wrong done was
the harm and wrong committed by the
President, and in his belief, three-fourths
of the intelligent people of the United
States would indorse that sentiment.
Then MIR. Frye, with one hand in his
trousers pocket, and paper in the other
hand, leaned carelessly against desk
and addressed his remarks to Mr. Daniel ins
regard to elections in Virginia, which re-
marks Mr.. Daniel took up nd replied to,
the two senators carrying on for several
minutes free and easy colloquy on that
subject, The people of Virginia, Mr..
Daniel said. would gainly try to please
the senator from Maine, so long as they
voted the democratic ticket The senator
from Maine, he added, with much bitter
ness of manner had said that there were
no precinct election frauds in Maine:
there they only stole legislatures That
was democratic steal, }" Mr.. Frye inter
posed.
AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS.
"Oh, of course, " Mr.. Daniel resumed,
sarcastically, "of course il was a demo-
cratic steal. The senator never heard of
a steal that was not a democratic one"
That is true Mr.. Frye asserted
Perfectly so, and naturally So" said
Mr. Daniel. He is as deaf as the old
lady mentioned by Tom Hood, who bought
an ear trumpet, and the very next day
she heard from her husband at Botany
Bay. Laughter. The senator never
heard of the Credit Mobilier business.
Oh, no; he stuffed whole cotton counter
pane in his ear so soon as newsboy ran
down the street with his newspapers
He never heard of Indian frauds. of star
route frauds. He only heard that every
republican born is saint and that
every democrat born is an imp And /
leave the senator in that happy state. He
does not need to be translated IN another
and better world in order to enjoy the
perfection of happiness. Where ignor-
ance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise There
he is, and there he proposes to remain"
At the close of MIR D.niel's remarks
there was a short executive session, and
the Senate, at :35 o'clock, adjourned un-
til tomorrow.
