the law and the facts will uphold his course. These facts I am in favor of hay. ing placed in. the hands of all senators. They will strengthen the hands of the ad- ministration."
 The resolution of MT. Pettigrew went over until Wednesday, and Mir. Morgan took the floor to speak on the political con- ditions in the southern states.
 At o'clock the financial bill became the regular order and Mir. Aldrich said he hoped some general understanding could be reached as to the disposition of the bill.
 Mir Jones, of Arkansas. replied that there was no disposition on the democratic side to delay the bill. I've recognize" said he, that you have the majority and can pass the bill"
 MT. Jones asked however, that there be no pressing action. as senators were not yet ready to speak.
 MT Aldrich thereupon asked that the bill go over for the day.
 MT. Stewart gave notice that he would speak on Thursday on the bill.
 Morgan on Suffrage
 MT. Morgan then resumed his speech, which was directed against the Pritchard resolution, which condemns racial restric- tfons of suffrage and attacks the new con- stitution of the state of North Carolina.
 MT. Morgan first spoke on the legal aspect of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution as affecting negro suff rage, and the necessity of adopting some course that would prevent a repetition of the Hayes-Tilden controversy. He then discussed the negro question in general, maintaining that there is a natural su- premacy in the whites, and a natural de- ficiency in the blacks, morally, socially and intellectually.

 .'If southern white men," said he, "have falsified election returns they have the stronger, if not better, reason that they are acting upon the same law of self-defense aftffn resorts to, for the protection of homes and families. from a race that sets at defiance all moral restraints upon their brutal de- sres.'
 This evil, he thought, would end only when the United States had provided home for the negro race suited to their traits.

 In conclusion, MT. Morgan said:
 ''The democratic party has always been a white mans party, and when the appeal of the people of Louisiana and North Car olina. unsupported by all the democrats in the southern states. is made clear to them, they and a vast body of white men all over the country, who have not acted with them In the past will unite with them in demand that these sovereign states shall not be destroyed for taking care Of the lives and happiness of their people"
 At the conclusion of MT. Morgan's speech Mr PitcGard gave notice that he would address the senate on the resolution on January P.
