the subject. He said that he knew no.
neither information nor convictions upon
thing OF the facts, and that the whole
question would be considered by the COM
mittee tomorrow. If the resolution
should be adopted, it would authorize the
committee to visit Virginia and call for
persons and papers. insuring sweeping
inquiry. The whole question of the fran
chise in Virginia, and of the effect ana
validity Of the new Constitution is in
volved In the inquiry, although It is we'll
known that Congress has no right to pass
upon the Constitution of a State.
Should the Republican ma jority see fit,
it could unseat Mr.. Glass, on the ground
that he had not been elected according to
the requirements of the Constitution Of
the United States, and this is what Wise
and mis- followers would like to see done.
Had the matter been brought up six
months ago. Mr. Glass might have had a
hard time because of the Republican de-
sire to secure the negro vote. But the
next election is a good way off, and
while the negro vote is an apparition in
Republican circles. yet it will hardly be-
come so formidable as to cause conserva
tive Republicans in the House to scare at
1t.
Precedent Too Dangerous.
Therefore the belief prevails that sufti-
cient Republican votes cannot be COM
manded in the House to pass the reso-
luton. There will be a strong attempt
to secure the votes, but there is doubt
whether they can be produced. To unseat
Mr. Glass would mean that the entire
Virginia delegation would be in danger
in the next House. With the precedent
once established of Congresses willing
ness to turn men out of their seats be-
cause of constitutional disfranchisement.
there is no telling where the matter would
stop So the Virginia members are natu-
rally alive to the situation, and will guard
and fight every step in the effort to inves-
tigate conditions in that State They will
have the action of Chief Justice Fuller
to fall back upon and they will have the
fact that Mr.. GlasS's district has for
years been represented by Democrat,
even when the entire negro vote of the
district was cast solidly for the Republi-
can ticket.
The Crumpackers in the House want
anything that will give them political
capital, and this fact will draw a large
support for the pending resolution. If
this faction of the Republicans can Sc
cure an investigation in one district Of
Virginia. it will open the Cltire question
of election laws in the South and the suf-
frase question in that section. leading to
Mr.. Crumpacker's plan to cut down the
representation Of the South in Congress.

connection there between the A. and N.

number of people will avail themselves

leave home in the morning and reach
Grlfton, Ayden or Greenville the same
morning and thus have no long, tiresome
