This dechration was aprlauded. Mr..
Bailey continuing, Said he thought it nee
essary to agxin state his position. He
was. be said, Convinced that the Demo-
cratic party did not Expect nor
desire its representatives 70 rre-
ssort to useless and captisus
opposition to Republican policies in
Congress. In support Of this, he read an
article from the Atlanta Constitution,
and quoted from an interview with Sen
ator Jones, the chairman Of the National
Democratic committee. It was well un-
derstoo1. he aide, that the Democrats
could not force the Republicans to gem
eral legislation. Some Of the Democrats
were so opposed to the Republicans that
they would force them to make bad laws
for Democratic advantage, but Qfe held
that no legislation by the Republican
was best for the country. He would
vote for a motion by Mr.. Dingley TO ad-
iOurn, because he looked not to the mat
ter of a motion, but to its substance,
but II Mr.. Simpson moved to adjourn for
