Tho pretense that this bill was to prevent clection nbuscs was absurd. White ho was speaking of tho use of tlasie ballots in the South Mr, Hampton handed him a tissie ballot and asked. him to rend it. Mr, Teller said it purported to bon Republican tissuo ballot, and thereupon went Into the history of the election in Charleston, Hs theory was that the Kepub- Neans knew that the Democrits would cast tlasuo ballots, and that inspectors would put their hands In the box and tako out the heavy ballots, jeuving mostly tissio ballota, so the Republicans cust tissue ballots, but not in an ordinary £en3c; THEY. OART THEM LEGALLY, and in this way esenped having thom thrown out. Mr. Hampton remurked thut the present tte resentative from that county was elected by 30,000 mujority. ‘Teller had said 3,000 tissue bul. lots werg cust, Even allowing the 3,000, ho still had 7,000 majority. Bir. Thurman moved an amendment as follows: “ Provided, that no person now holdiug or who has held tho office of Chiet Supervisor of Elec- tlons shall be reappointed.

MIt, EDMUNDS ASKED if thro was any precedont for Congress to do- clire that cortaln parsons should not hold offico because thoy havo held some office before. Tho Supreme Court had oven decided the low un- constitutional which sey anes, Porsons who bad enguged In the Rebellion. Mr, Thurman said there wero precedonts in tho Constitution itself, An importer could not be appointed Secretary of the Treasury. Thoso lection laws said only Commissioners of Courts should be coppintes Supervisors, This practi- cally disfranchised everybody elso, The Senntor frun Vermont always proceeded on tho theory that tho President had Saporal power that Congress was treading on bis tocs in directing whut he should do, ‘Mr, Hoar snid this bil was part of a schemo to destroy liberties by o sort of dry rot, ‘The Gov- ernment was not tobe overthrown by Wood and ylolonce, but by the corruption of tho ballot- OX. An animated running debato followed, In which Messrs. Hampton, Butler. Hoar, and Feller took principal part, and which. turned upon the evidence taken befure the Wallace Committee, and the interprotyuon of it in vari- ous wiys. Mr, Voorhees then took tho floor and demand- ed of those who had charged the Democrutio side with feuring to discuss questions of public Interest to name a inntter so evaded, Mr, Edmunds—It would take allthe afternoon, Your mouths havo been shut up ike dead oys- ters, but under tho Influence of this hot woather yo scom to have now got oft your balance.

That is an {gent expression for tho scholarly Senntor from ermont.

[Laughter.t Mr, Voorhees—Oh, that don't impose on anys. borly or decelve anybor Mr.Conkling—I do not mean It to deceive any- body; but Isl no objection to begin ning witha very mquextion which the Senutor froin Indisnu gave no notice that be was going to discuss, und which he grieved ine to the heart by refusing to allow me to bear him discuss, Mr. Voorhecs—Dld the Senator wish to discuss it himself?

Mr, Voorhees—Diu tho Senitor suggest that he desired a discusslon on the third term? Mr. Conkling—No, becuse L abserve that no- body is so worried, nobody has such a St. Vitne’ dunce and delirium tremons of anxiety about the third ternt, as those bipelony, langhig for first term luuihter}, and the, dupes thoy hive made, And, therefore, | would not like, on at hot day lke this, when 1 seo the honorable Sen ator from Indinna [3 already considerably uni- mated, to Introduce a thing which f think would Dono disturbing andao likely todiegruntic hin ns that. Moreover, tho question wus not whit we wanted todiseuss, but what the gentionan’s purty: badomitted or refused to discuss, But the third term hus never been weglected on this tor, Every Democrat hos had the greatest Interest in Keeplng atlout alt the dust and rubbish touching the third term which was ilkely to frighten wy weak-kneed or wenk-backed Republican, They hove not neglected that, s, Mr. Voorhees~The Senator from New York anawersin a most Ilioping, hulting, linperfeet, faltering manner to the question of whut prop- osition this sido of the chamber has refused or deollned to discuss with thnt side. 1 never allow men, after muking n false {ssue, to escape it by throwing up goinetiing else, The Sonutor from Colorado repeated over and over that THIS SIDE OF THE CHAMBER wos afratd to moot certain things, I know Iwas not conscious! of fear, I know I waa a reason- ablo equal with anybody on that side of tho chamber, I did not know what | wus afraid of. I Mstenca with great pleasure to tho senuntors from New York, Vormont,and Colorado, but £ knew there was nothing that we hud dreaded to micot on this side, Mr. Edimunds—You always whistle when you g0 by a griveyard, don’t you?

The Senator from Colorado inalstad in words not aogrecable to henr that wo were afraid to meot the questions tendered by that aide, Mr. Conkling—Moat assuredly, I wished n dis- cussion of the financial question whon I read in A newspuper that the honorable Senator wes going to mike a speech, , Mr. Voorhees (interrupting—When did you ever say 80? Bir, Conkling—Why, 3fr. President, “na the hart panteth for tho water brooks,” s0 1 pantod for that apeech about “the dollar of our dad- dies." [Loud laughter.)

(Laughter.] Mr. Voorbeos—You -nevor dared . challenge much adiacussion. Nobody knows what the spo- eltic views of the Senator fram New Yerk ure on the foanclil question, and ho bas nover uttered them. Whon THE BILVER DERATE took pinco bere, that lusted sfx months, conspla- ously the Senator from New York didn't dure to uttor his opinions; conspicuously of all Beno- tors in this body, more than anybody elso, bo hushed his volce, ho supprossed his opinion. if he had uny, and never uttered one single word on the subject, so much so that the grent metro geltan Journals of New York, his own great tote. queried and wondered what intiuence it was (le ae ‘and paralyzing the sutlwart in- tellectuality of tha Senator on that sub. ject.. And ho dared to chailengo mo, A+question of tho greatest moment, whether ailver should be recoined, whether the monoy of the fathora should bo roinstated, camo and went and passed through all Its stagos without even tho Senntor from Now York huve ing a fooble, infuntile whleper on that subject, He js not tho tnan to question mo on what qued> tions in debate I daro urdure not mect, for no greator question than the question of tho re- monetization of silver ever swopt through this Capitol, aud no man was over more ellent than ho was whon it camo.
