He desired to know whether the | Journal would sow that there was a legislative | day of Suanary 17, and if so, when that legis- | | lutive day began. ‘The standing order was that | the Senate would meet at 10 o'clock. now past that hour, and he asked the question | in order to enable the clerks to keep the jour- | nal properly. | Mr. Morill suggested that the 16th had not yet finished. Mr. Harris said that the question he pro- pounded to the chair was when the Senate | | would have a legislative day of the 17th. | | The presiding oificer (Mr. Frye)—The ebair | is of the opinion that there never will be such | & legislative day as the 17th. Mr. Faulkner then resumed the floor, but concluded at 10:30, having beld the floor for al- most twelve hours. MR. DANIRL BELIEVER MR. FAULKNER. Mr. Daniel, following, said that the idea that the purpose of this bill and honest elections were identical was within the power of the people,with the machinery they now possessed, tosettle the question amicably and without dis- turbing the great republic in the onward strides. In general criticism of the bill he said that while he wae no pessimist, while he did not be- lieve in the total depravity of man, while he | venerated the bench, while he the | pure and high-minded judge as the brightest Product of a refined civilization, he could not lind his eyes to the fact that he aw reflected in all judicial history that when a political question (be it great or small) had gone before judicial bodies for decision, those bodies “ (he would not say — @ishon- [estly, he would not say impurely) bad with almost undeviating accuracy followed out in their decisions the instincts, the prejudices, the sentiment of the political char- | Was brought into the arena of politics ese | factor in a fight that moment the bench was to exercise an undue and improper influence on the fight. THE ELECTORAL COMMISEION. Referring to the electoral commission he quoted some remarks made by Senator Hoar at the time of its establishment, declaring that they contained a refutation of the very otic with which he was now engaged in deluding « | ery small portion of the American people. | Quoting from a letter written by Senator Mor- j rill (Vt.) at thix time, giving his various rea- | sons for favoring the commission, he cited the fifteenth reason, “That it would bring the re- publican party out of the valley of death.” It ‘was needless to give the other fourteen reasons.
