The debate to-day was even more spirit
ed than that on yesterday. Mr.. De Ar
mond, OF Missouri. led of for Young, en-
phasizing his belief that from review
Of the evidence Or. Wise was not the
nominee OF the Republican party in the
Second District. Mr.. Crumpacker OF In
diana, spoke I'm behalf OF Wise. He de-
clared that the charge of fraud was
| justified on the surface, because the

General Grosvenor, Of Ohio, drew the
| fire OF Representative De Almond. He
| spoke Of thirty contests I'm the House In
recent years from Southern States, which
came from districts where law is disre-
garded.
VIRGINIA ELECTION METHODS.
He spoke very forcibly of the election
methods in Virginia, and said they were
"wilful, malicious, outrageous violations
of law"
Il only wish to say" retorted Mr.. De
Almond, that II the gentleman wishes
10 cast insinuation or aspersion upon the
Republican members of the House, sim
ply because, on investigation, they reach
ed conclusion different from his, reach
ed without investigation, of course, he
has a perfect right to do So"
Il have cast no aspersions OF unfair

hers Of that committee" said General
Grosvenor. land If the gentlemen thinks
ii is fairness TO stand up and apply a
mans argument in that way" -.
If the gentleman from Ohio meant
what he said" interposed Mr.. De Ar
mond, and he usually means what ho
says. then his language carried the as
saut and injustice to his Republican as

warmly. land ! will take care Of what 1
said and the gentleman can take care Of
what he said"
GROSNENOR TAKEN TO TASK.
Representative Jones. Of Virginia, fol-
lowed General Grosvenor. He took the
Ohio statesman TO task for his assertions
concerning elections in Virginia. and de-
clared that the Junior Senator from Con-
gresham Grosyenor's own State was UNI
der a cloud, on the charge that he had
obtained his seat by fraud and corrup-
ton.
Mr. Jones added that one OF Congress
man Grosvenor's colleagues had openly
stated that this was the case.
Then my colleague is totally mis-
taken" replied General Grosvenor.
"Wil you deny that there has been
contest concerning his election?" inquired
Representative Jones.
Il will" answered General Grosvenor.
There have been charges that bribery
and corruption secured him his seat"
There has not been the slightest init
nation" answered General Grosyenor.
that bribery or corruption were used
for the election Of junior Senator from
Ohio. But suppose there are sinners in
Ohio; does that help the sinners in Nir-
ginia?"
IF there are sinners in Ohio. it does
not justify the gentleman in pointing tho
finger Of scorn at Virginia." answered
Representative Jones.
JONES VS.. YOST.
Representatives Jones and Yost also
had a tilt before the conclusion or the
formers speech about the Readjustor
history OF Virginia, and Mr.. Jones also
referred TO the appointment Of election
judges all OF one party, and said that there
were some precincts in Virginia where
there were no Republicans. and where il
was. therefore, impossible 10 appoint Re
publicans as election judges. THANK
God" exclaimed Mr.. Jones. there are
some such precincts I'm my own district"
Mr.. Jones was asked to name some of
these precincts. and he said that Hog
Island Precinct, I'm Accomac county. was
a precinct that had no Republican voters.
He said there were many precincts that
had only two or three Republican voters,
and these were oystermen. who were not
always on hand at election time.
JONES's SPEECH GREAT.
Mr.. Jones's speech was a ringing effort
one Of the strongest ne ever made in
Congress. He was scathing in his al
lusious 10 Wise. While it had gone
forth that Wise was TO be seated, many
thought that Mr. Joness speech was -
forcible that it would turn the tide and
save Young.
The Democrat took his defeat like a
man. DIR. Wise was naturally elated over
the result.
The only remaining Virginia case is
Brown vs. Swanson. Mr.. Swanson Will
not be unseated
