Ropulists Claim They Did and Democrats

Saroe Body-The Resolution
Acted Upon and Passed.

RALEIGH, N. c.. February 2e.-Yes-
terday witnessed the most exciting and
spirited debate yet held in the house
The epithets 'liar" and 'ialsehood"
were banded about pretty freely,
though in rather indiscriminate way
and no personal difficulty ensued.
The cause Of the hot debate was the
following resolution which was intro
duced by Mr.. Lusk, republican OF Bun
comb county, in reference to the Fred
erick Douglass matter:
Whereas The democratic press have will
fully and DauciousIy charged and puoHsneo
that tho general assembly Of 1895 refused TO 40
journ out Of respect to the memory OF the
birthday Of Washington and Lee, but did ad-
tourn out of respect to the memory OF Fred
erick Douglass and.
Whereas, BY such false statements they
have reflected upon the dignity and purpose OF
the present house, and
Whereas. The facts in the case are as fouoWs:
That on the 10th day OF Janusry. 1885, that MT.
french offered the following resolution:
Resolved, By the house Of representatives.
the senate concurring. that when this house
adjouras. 1t adjourns to meet Monday at 8 p. m
Mr. French moved to suspend The
rules which was done, and the resolu-
ton was adopted without dissenting
vote and sent to the senate for concur
rance, which resolution the journal
shows was adopted. This resolution
being non-concurred in by the senate,
the house met next morning at the
usual hour and after being in session
less than half an hour, on motion OF
MI. Young Of Wake, the house adjourn
ed out Of respect to the memory OF
Robert E. Lee, the same being bus
birthday.
Tho George Washington Matter.
On the slst day Of February resolu-
ton to adjourn from Thursday until
Saturday, out of respect to the memory
of George Washington, was ofred by
Mr.. Williams, OF Craven, and was
passed by q very large majority, the
same: was not concurred in by the SEN
ate. The house met the next day as
usual, q motion was made by MIR Lusk
to adjourn out of respect to the mem
ory OF George Washington, the same
being his birthday. and the same was
adopted unanimously; and
Whereas. On the 21st day Of February res
olution was offered By Mr.. Crews, OF Granville
that the house adjourn at u o'clock out OF re-
pect to the memory OF Frederick Douglass
when his sudden death wss announced, the
house did not agree to adjourn at this hour
out when the purpose Of the motion was ex'
planned to simply give publicity to the suddeI
and unexpected death OF this distinguished
deceased it WAS concurred IN by all parties
and as matter OF fact. the house d1o not az
iourn until thirty-seven minutes after the un'
required By the rules for adjournment: no"
therefore, be It
Resolved, That IN the interest OF truth anc
accuracy Of history, the utterances and eIp-es-
sions Of the democratic press IN this city an
denounced as unjust untrue misleading, mall.
cious and libelouS.
Resolved further, That this record as above
recited, and resolutions, be spread upon the
minutes OF the house.
What are tho Facts In tho Csse9
Though no denial is made in the
above resolutions of the fact that the
legislature adjourned in honor Of Fred
Dou glas. it is declared that that body
did adjourn in honor of Lee and Wash
ington.
In reference to the first named, thii
is utterly false as is shown by the daily
newspaper reports of all political par
ties Of that date. The house journal Of
that date is generally believed to have
been doctored. It is well known thai
the house refused to adjourn in honor
of Washington till severely castigated
for their action by the newspapers ane
the public generally.
The debate consumed the whole day
and though the democratic leaders
clearly showed, by both democratic
and populist papers, that the resolu
ton was false, it was passed by strict
party vote of SO to 81.
