DEMOCRATS DISCUSS
THE HARMONY DINNER

Washington, January 5.-(Special.)-
Democrats in the house and senate were
very much interested today in the har-
mony dinner given in New York last
night in honor of Mayor Mcclellan and
for the purpose of bringing together
prominent representatives from different
sections of the patty.
The feature of The dinner which attract
ca the most attention and occasioned the
most comment was the speech of Mr.. OIL
ney setting forth democratic principles
and naming Mr.. Cleveland as the greatest
living exponent of those principles and the
man who could most successfully stand
for them as the presidential candidate OF
his party.
In the cloak rooms and corridors OF
the capitol the democrats discussed de-
lightedly the structures of Mr.. Olney and
of Mr.. Hill upon the dominant party and
President Roosevelt. General occurrences

ARGUMENTS WERE HEARD
IN FAMOUS GILES CASE

And it Is not philosophy, beyond per
sonal experience of Its necessity as a
law of life, that has forced those ex-
posed to its dangers to sweep the field
of expedients' to mitigate and avoid the
horrors of negro domination. II expert
enee satisfies the intelligence and law
making power of the country that GER
tain moral deficiencies or certain moral
qualities which In general apportion to
particular race or to previous condition
of servtude. rendering such persons un-
fit for electors and there is a prohibition
and thus impossbility Of differentiating
the people by racial distinctions or by
color and historical distinctions of pre-
vious servitude, could 1t be fairly held
that a discrimination for electors found
ed on other characteristics than those of
race or color and a condition of previous
servitude was really and in fact founded
on color. and a previous condition of
servitude?
"Such a holding would, 1t seems be
contradiction of terms. The Objectionable
feature must be found in the terms of the
law or constitution itself. In his brief
field on the case today Mr.. Gunter sug-
gested as a solution of the case itself
that If the plan of registration under the
constitution of Alabama Is In violation
of the Fifteenth amendment of the con-
Lnt INV ID SIMPLY Ntfi anu -
not in the way of voting when ballots
may be offered and that until a ballot
Is offered and refused. there is no ground
for a private citizen to ask judicial ac-
ton against the validity of the void law
of registration, since until then he is not
injured.
"On the other hand II there was only
bad administration, of a valid law, the
objection should have been made in the
course of an appeal provided for in
clause six of section 1856 of the new con-
stitution, independent Of all the other
questions raised. Application for the
mandamus could not be awarded after
the defendants have long since gone out
of office by expiration of their terms and
could not possibly obey the Judgment
According to Attorney Smith. both ac-
tions involved the new Alabama consti-
tuition through which he said the people
of that state had sought, by what he
termed a fraudulent scheme, to evade the
constitution of the United States and
deny the right of suffrage to the negro
voter. He said all that was contended
for by the colored citizens of that state,
was fair and equal treatment. This con-
tention would be waged as long as the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments
remained in .he federal constitution.

Washington January 5.-(Special.)- THE
United States supreme court today heard
arguments in the case of Jackson w.
Giles vs.. the Board of Registrars of Mont
gomery county. the case brought to test
the validity of the new Alabama constitu-
ton. W. A. Gunter of Montgomery. ap-
peared for the board of registrars and
wilford H. Smith, the colored attorney
for Giles.
Senator Pettus. several other members
of the Alabama delegation, as well as a
number of members from other southern
states. were present to listen to the argu-
ments. The subject has attracted a great
deal of attention since the case was filed
in court last spring, and the court room
was crowded throughout the argument.
The attorneys were frequently interrupted
by the members of the court. In the
course of argument. Mr.. Gunter said:
THE privilege of voting is purely politi-
cal, depending on the will of the govern
ment of the particular society. We know
that In many of the states of the union
there is no sort of natural equality OBJ
served as to the right TO vote. 1t may
in general be affirmed that in no country
Is the government an absolute democ-
racy; and history shows that between the
limits of Caesarism and unqualified ad-
mission to the electoral power the safety
of human rights is found. and that a close
proximity to either extreme is alike to be
avoided as dangerous. No one can affirm
that intelligence and moral elevation are
not desirable, If not necessary qualifica-
tions for electors, nor that these have any
necessary or peculiar connections with a
dark complexion and previous condition
of servitude.
"On the other hand, the slow progress
of the colored races generally. not to refer
particularly to the sad experience in this
country, demonstrates that there seems to
be a radical moral intellectual difference
between the races of the earth not to the
credit of the darker complexion but the
conduct of man is rarely shaped from a
prior study of the philosophy of history
further than the teachings of his own
limited experience, and 1t Is well known
that 1t was not philosophy, but political
and party passion, honest as Ii may be
assumed to have been, but not the less
open to error on that account, that put
upon the country negro suffrage.

In the views Of the speakers upon the re-
publicans and their leader was found
among democrats. But when it came to
Mr.. Olney's suggestion of Mr.. Cleveland
damper would be thrown over the dis
cussion.
Mr. Olney's remarks about Mr.. C1eve-
land were met with a wry face among
the southern and western democrats One
effect of his speech last night will be TO
effectually shut eff all consideration of
Mr. Olney as possible presidential candi-
date by the southern and western demo-
Gratis.
He will be ticketed and classed with
Mr. Cleveland more effectuslly than ever
before although his candidacy always
has been tainted with Clevelandism, to
use the expression most frequently heard
among southerners Within the past ten
days an effort has been made to start an
Olney boom, but 1t is evident from the
remarks made today by prominent demo-
Gratis that neither the Olney boom nor the
Cleveland boom is likely to get further
south than the back bay
