a QUESTION roK raE DISPATCH.

one OF Tho proofs -adiuccl by he cour-
asoous and loyal Dispatch OF the dis
loyalty Of The Timas to Democratic prin-
ciplc ana partN is that The Times is of
opinion thar Mr Epps, tho late member
from the Fourth district, had not been
elected and was not entitled 10 his seat.
Barring the objectionable offence iu the
eyes of the Dispatch of anybody's having
an opinion of his own at all, we viii
give precedent apropos to this case.
In the Flfty-second Congress Governor
O'Ferrar was CHAPMAN OF the House
Committee on' Elections The contested
election case OF Noyes dcpublican)
against Rockwell Democrat, who occu-
pied a seat frcm New York district,
came up TO be heard. the committee
found that Noyes was entitled to The
seat. and so reported. a majority Of
Democrats, headed by Mr.. Cobb, Of Ala
bama, reported in favor of keeping Rock
well in his seat. The case attracted much
notice, and was debated in the House
for several days. on April % 1892. the
debate was closed by Mr.. O'Ferran in
speech which was forcible and defiant.
in which he vehemently argued for
tho right of Noycs to take Rockwells
seat. In the course OF his speech he
said; eve take the newspaper report:
He was assailed because he preferred
a certain Democratic gentleman TO an
other Democratic gentleman as the nomi-
l.s t.art rod a.sFsfaf in,
Democratic gentleman. lie preferred a
great big man. loud laughter, lie pre-
ferreG a man who was lion, not a
fox. loud APPLAUSE
Mr. O'Ferrall, reverting TO the state
mcpt of Mr., Allen G'rivate John Allen, Of
Mississippi. said that that gentleman
had said the Democrats should stand to-
gether like the Republicans. He thank
ed Heaven that he was not rocked in the
same cradle with the gentleman from
Mississippi.
Mr.. AneN replied that he disclaimed
that the Democrats should follow the
tactics OF the Republicans. The idea that
he desired 10 impress upon Democrats
was that they should stop fighting one
another as was just illustrated by the
statement OF the gentleman from Viz
ginia, In referring TO one Democrat as Il
lion and to another as a fox.
Mr. o'Ferrall said he was sorry he was
touching a sore place of the gentleman
from Mississippi. lie did not have him
in his mind; he did not allude TO him
as a lion.
Mr. Allen: The man who fights Demo-
Gratis as you do. will never regard me as
a lion.
Mr.. O'Ferrall: / FIGHT FRAUD
WHEREVER 1 FIND II IN THE RE-
PUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC RANKS.
When Mr. o'FerrsIrs speech was finish
ed the vote was taken and Mr.. OFerralls
report in favor OF unseating the Demo-
crat, Mr.. Rockwell. and seating the Re-
publican, Mr.. Noyes. was defeated by
40 to 9s, and Mr.. Rockwell kept his
seat.
After II was all over in an interview.
Colonel oFerrall. speaking of this re-
suit, said: ''fhe action OF the House to-
day makes my work for my party more
a.rduous IN the coming campaign. SO
far as am individually concerned. have
nothing 10 regret. | am confident the

TALKS FOR CLEVELAND.
SAYS This Prospective Third Term Il
Not Really Such Other Men
Issue In 1896.

NEW YORK, Sept. I7.-Perhaps
the most remarkable contribution
to the Cleveland third-term litera-
ture is contained in an interview,
which the Worid prints with Sem
ator Gray of Delaware, the leader of
leaders of what is known as the
Cuckoo" wing in the Senate.
George Gray has had closer rela-
tons with the White House than
any other Democrat in the Senate,
and In the Hawaiian dispute and
the later tariff struggle he was Mr..
Cleveland's avowed spokesman.
Senator Gray declared himself to
be in favor of a third term for
Cleveland.
"By third term," he continued.
81 assume is meant three consecu-
tive terms in the Presidential Office
The issue, as l understand it, is
two terms for Mr.. Cleveland. The
President was first nominated and
elected in 1884. In 1888 he retired
to private life, became plain citi'
zen, and devoted himself to the af-
fairs of personal business. During
those four years he was one of the
people and possessed no public
Office.
"Washington's refusal of thirt
term is cited as a precedent" con
tinued Mr.. Cleveland's friend, 'ir
all arguments against the Presi
dents denomination. The condi
tions which existed then are total,
different from those which exis
