and amended, but the debate upon II
had not begun when the Senate adj
jonrned.
The race question again was injected
into the proceedings of the House when
Mr.. Scott. of Kansas, delivered long
address. in which he referred to his pre-
yious statement that it was current in

dined C. H. j. Taylor, Kansas negro
politician. He read several letters from
Kansas citizens that it had been Taylor
boast that he had received such social at
teution from Mr.. Cleveland. lie also
said that Mr.. Cleveland, while governor
Of New York, had signed bill providing
for mixed schools.
In a spirited reply, Mr.. Williams, OF
Mississippi, the minority leader, de,
Tended thu attitude of the South toward
the negro, and said that discussion OF
the race question by the republicans
was an old game by which, when the
republican party found itself confronted
with issues,that threatened its supremacy,
il began TO wave the bloody shirt He
said. however, there was one thing
neither the republican party nor the en-
tire world could do, and that was "to
make the South consent to regard social
equality as thing to be desired" Nor
could they make the South consent TO
the proposition that the right Of the
negro consists in giving him power to
govern the white men of the South.
He declared the negrO's rights IN the
South are recognized much more album
dainty than anywhere else.
Mr. Williams, referring to Mr..
Bartholdfs statement that President
Jefferson had dined a negro pro-
voked laughter and applause when he
said that "every man knows that If
the niger ate at Monticello he
ate in Jeferson's kitchen, and
not at Jefferson's family table" The
people OF the South were going to lift
the negro race gently, sanely and in the
proper way. 1t had the kindliest feeling
for the negro.
"You can't defect us from live,
pending issues" concluded Mr.. Will
liams, God, he said, had given the
colored men to the South as a trust, and
that trust should be kept. There was
not to be a hybridize South. He wanted
the country to know that he was speak
ing as southerner, with the best in
terest at heart of beth the white and
black inhabitant.
At the instance of Mr.. Bartlett, Of
Georgia, a letter from ex-President
Cleveland was read, denying that he had
ever dined negro and stated that when
he was governor of New York that
whatever he did was in favor of main
tanning separate colored schools instead
of having them mixed. Mr.. Bartlett
also declared Judge Parker, of New
York, to be the man whom the demo
Gratis will nominate for President.
