Bill to amend chapter 461, laws OF
1893, relative to punishment fol
lynching providing that lynchers
shall be regarded as a mob
party damaged shall recover 81 ,000
or, If killed $1,000, to be paid his legal
representative to be applied to the educa-
ton of the children.)
Mr.. Person, who introduced the bill
asked to have it read and wanted some
body to tell why the judiciary commit
tee reported 1t unfavorably.
Mr. Scales said the committee had
unanimously decided the bill was not nee
essary, and therefore reported it unfavor-
ably.
Mr. Person wag.ed the body to consid-
er the vast amount of lynohing, that dis
graced the State. This bill is a fac simile
Of a bill on the statute books Of Ohio.
This bill ought to pass. 1t is an outrage
ON this body for a committee OF intelli-
gent men to report against this bill. Our
Chief Executive says the lynchings are
due to delays and slow trials, and is this
Senate to do nothing to provide for stop
ping these lynehings2 Mr.. Person quoted
the act of 1893 (which was passed by
Hon. G. b. Watson) provides "dam-
ages" and said what is the use to say
that damages may be recovered, if the
amount is not fixed by law"
The best way to put down lawlessness
is to touch the pocket book OF all tax
payers. That will interest all the people

Dr Dixon memocraO said the Dem7
ocrats had done everything in reason TO
secure a man for the position of Senator
who would espouse the cause Of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, and he
was backed by 145, 900 votes of this State.
If the people OF the State had had a
voice there would have been a unanimous
choice Of a man who represented silver.
But, sir, we had been fighting microbes
microbes in the carpet and the dust;
we had better, sir, been fighting the mi
crobes in the lobbies OF this House and
of the hotel. They have come here, sir,
from beside the deep sounding sea, from
the mountains, and from the banks Of the
Nola Chucky.
Mr.. Dixon nominated Mr.. Rufus A.
Doughton, OF Allegheny, man, he said,
whose biography needed no exploiting.
If Mr. Pritchard was now elected, he
would represent this State after the ad-
,ninistration shall have gone out. For
he believed that MIR. Bryan would be the
next President OF the United States. MIR.
Dixons speech was one OF striking elo-
auence, and was delivered with splendid
effect.
Mr.. Cathey seconded the nomination
OF DR.. Thompson in impassioned and for
chile style, and coming from Swain, he
said he stood for the people and them oney
OF the people. Mr.. Pritchard's record had
been too voluminous, too rotatory, too
changeable. though the speaker praised
his patriotism and ability. But he said
he would meet the gentleman from Co
lumbus (Nir. Sehulken), on half way
ground and second the nomination of DR.
Thompson. (Applause).
Mr., Nelson arose to second the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Doughton. lie wanted man
elected as Senator who would best reprt-
sent the views Of the people of the state.
Mr.. Nelson touched upon the need of the
country for the principles OF the William
] Bryan democracy, and delivered high
personal tribute to Mr. Doughton He
said that the one touch Of free silver
should have brought men of one mind to-
getber. but the hand of the Democrats,
which had been stretched forth had met
no response for reasons he knew not. But
he thought the time would come when the
men of one principle would get together
on this policy.
After the speeches. the vote was order
ed taken at "a of the clock.
Mr. Brown of Jones gave notice that
he wished to explain his vote.
Mr.. Dockery wished to explain his vote
also.
Mr. Brown, when his name was called,
said that he considered the agreement
made two years ago binding, and there
fore voted for Mr. Pritchard
Mr. Dockery, when his name was call
ed, said in the Republican caucus he
had stated that he could not vote for the
caucus resolution; he had been excused
He was Republican, and by no act Of
his should any other but Republican
be sent TO the United States Senate.
There are ties that bind greater than
the ties of party, and he therefore asked
unanimous consent TO be excused from
voting There being no objection, Mr.
Dockery's name was passed.
The tellers report at the end Of the bal

sire to place in nomination for United
States Senator Ex-Lieutenant Gov r.
4. Doughton, of Allegheny county.
And in placing Gov. Doughton in
nomination for this exalted position, we
do so on account Of his eminent qualif-
cations, great merit and fitness for the
place. His private and social life, is an
example, well worthy of imitation; those
who know him best love him most; his
public life and political record commands
the esteem and the confidence OF his
friends, and challenges the respect and
admiration of those who differ with him
politically,
Governor Doughton is an ardent be-
lieyeF in, and strong advocate for the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at
q ratio OF 16 to /, independent OF any
foreign or international agreement.
'IIe believes in and advocates the res
tora tion OF the money OF the constitu-
ton, not alone as a matter of expedience,
and as matter OF policy but as a mat
ter OF right, as matter of justice, be-
cause the crime Of 1873 should forever be
blotted from the Federal statute, and the
great toiling masses OF the American
people should have the relief they so
urgently demand.
And I promise that upon every occa-
sion at every opportunity Gov. Doughton
will vote to give this financial relief to

patched up. Jackson is by far the best
man in the Pennsylvania outfeld, be-
ing a sure catch, covers an immense
amount of territory. is a long and ac-
curate thrower, besides being one of the
best base runners on the team. In
every respect, except hitting, he is the
equal of Roy Thomas, who was one OF
the best outfielders who ever wore a
Red and Blue uniform. With the Penn

weak in all departments of the game
