Tlu- debate in the Lodge election
bill eoiiimeiieeii in the House on Thusr- ;l|
day. tu
Lodge made the opening speech,
urging the measure as necessary, he
just, wise and constitutional. h'j
Hemphill, of South Carolina, fol- ti(
lowed, beginning with an argument co
to demonstrate the unconstitutional P"
^^nature of the bill, that Congress uc
Hftfcould not interfere with the returns. "
Kju-cad of the legislative deelara- >s<
iu the past by the States of New ?r
York, Ohio and New Jersey against
congressional usurpation of thj right ov
to conduct elections. He declared lll>
that this was not a national bill. It was th
sectional. Under the provisions of bl
^Hie tirst section some portions of the r?
^^piited States would be under tin bi
^Wpervision of from two to fivo super- (b
visors according to tue respective "i
sizi> of the congressional ftiul judicial ?t
districts. He could conceive of no l'l
honest purpose for such provision. Pc
It could have no eft'ect but to place the Ui
people of some districts between ul:
the upper and nether mill- hsi
stones. As to the terms under which to
the law was to go into effect (petition ov
of a limited number of persons.) hi
why was it so limited if it. was a ho
good thing? The law should be uui- tli
versally applied. Why was it that tli
this very complicated and unsatisfac- 111
tory provision was putin unless there
was an iiiteiition to put the yoke on f?
some portions of the people ot tins u'
coiiiWyand allow others to do as they AV'
saw lit? He called for an explanation ^h
of that provision. Now suppose the
United States Courts were corrupted hi
ami from the amount of corruption
reported by the gentleman from Mas- rh

tluit one-half of the people were unworthy
of trust, that they were to be
watched as * riminals or ticket of
leave men. Suppose that the supervisor
were to turn to a Democrat. He
had a life tenure and could not lie JU.
removed. That hadn't occurred to jj,
the gentleman from Massachusetts.
This was a measure to rob them of .U|
their dearest rights, lie had marched
before the glittering bayonets of ,
United States soldiers to cast his j
ballot. Troops of soldiers had been |u
sent to his town, and every soldier .

ger majority th: n it had ever had in
any l'rcsidoHial electttfh. ei
Under this system, which it was cc
proposed to revive, the people of the
South had been robbed by picked !!!
villains of the North, backed up by
the bayonets of the United States so
army. The South didn't want to M
be caught in that position again, st
"We," Hemphill continued, "know Tl
thai we must either rule that country d?
or leave it. Mow for myself, before
the people of the United States and rj,
before God, in all reverence, I swear
we will not leave it. (Applause.) It j)A
is the home of our fathers. There ]-[
their bones lie buried. They bought iU1
it with their blood when Concord j(,
and Lexington were the battle fields
of this country. They have handed
it down to us unimpaired and, gen- * '
tlemen, are we not our fathers' sons' p
Shall the blood tirst turn back in our ^
veins? Shall we transmit to the com- '
ing generations a great and noble ,
State which has been overruled and ,(
down trodden by those who God
never intended should rule over us?
I don't hesitate to say the colored j?
man has as many rights as I have,
but lie can't have his rights and mine l'u
too, and this law is intended to put m
him again in control of the Southern 11,1
States?intended to waken their pre
judicesfe'liich are fast dying out?in- tli
tended to bring about again that oil
constant irritation and clash between ar
1 the two colors in the South which nn
will retard its growth and which will tli
be the destruction of the joys of lni fo:
man life.''
Hemphill then reatl from a recent G<
address by ex-Governor Chamberlain SI
of South Carolina, Republican, in H
Host on to show what a former Gov- \\
| ernor and Republican thought of the SI
1 negro situation in the South. He to
1 knew it was useless to reason with cer- en
It tain men in the North. They did not M
K" -want. to anil would not boliov? any- Si
y thing the South might say. Hut there SI
! were many people in the country who

stances in AJ abama, Georgia, Mis

Jin these States ho constantly am
ubbornly that at times two or nior<
embers would be speaking at once
jwoll. however, held the floor am
>ated nothing of the sweeping 11a
re of his charges.
Lehlbach, of New Jersey, ltcpub
sail, said he could not favor tin
jislation. He admitted the condi
)u of elections in many parts of tin
uiitry would seem to justify tin
.ssage of such a measure. He lnu
> doubt frauds were perpetrated t<

anion be worse not to let the peopl
the several States regulate thei

?plausc.] The moral sentiment o

11 was not general and uniform. Hi
lestioned the right to make a lav

hers. It should be uniformly aji
ieable and not dependent upon tin
tit 1011 of any number of citizens
nitod States supervisors were to b
pointed and supervisors, experiene
id shown, were liable, like others
seek to intlucncc elections thei

'tween election ollieors chosen b,

Tucker, of Virginia, opposed th
11 specifically and generally. H
limed that it gave supervisors th

institution to the States.

I briefly, but his remarks were punctuated
all through with vociferous apt>

and emphasized them. He also
renewed his attack on the present
federal administration, as oppressive
(i to the farming interests. He begged
of his people a courteous hearing for
Lj other speakers, saying they only maintained
their self respect by being
courteous to ot hers.
' Colonel Karle, who was the next
I speaker, was greeted with loud cheers
and throughout Lis speech was lis

? except one or two attempted inter

His speech was very aggressive.
( He said the State Government had

property.
Tillman said that was State taxes.
0 Karle said the report said all.
s Tillman said it was a lie.
' Colonel Karle said the railroads in

low valuation and Tillman was a
member of the board of equalization.

returns under oath, though Gary

' said he believed Butler was an honest
man. He thanked (tod he had
^ made him acknowledge the honesty
of one man against whom he hail
made charges and if that was all
y he accomplished he felt his canvass
of the State had not been in vain.
s Earle accused Tillman of slandering
the State and read from an arc
tide published in The Cotton Plant.
Tillman had in this slandered every
l- officer the State has had since'7(5.
t- He went through the institutions of
g the Shell manifesto and, platform
\ and assailed the objectionable points,
s He asked Gary how he got 011 the
- ticket.
Gary said he was, tendered the
; nomination by Shell.
<t Colonel Earle spoke of the pri0
niary and alluded to the rejected
it, proposition at Union. He closed amid
11 rousing cheers.
(. When Captain Tillman was presented
there was perfect pandeinonium.
Tillman said it was the most
impartial crowd he had seen except
,{ in Columbia. All the candidates had
(> been received so warmly. He said it
j, was the fourteenth county he had
1 been in and there were more Bratton
and Earle men here than all the
others put together.

v Tlio spirit of the anti's seemed to
be to listen, but the two sides wriui11
gled so among themselves that it was
almost impossible to hear.
1 Finally Tillman said he had twenty '
two more speeches to make and he
would not be howled down by ajmob.
v A voice cried out, "get down."
' Tillman said, "all right, sir. I'll get
down," and took his seat.
The intcnsest excitement followed
~ this incident ami anything like order
' was impossible. One man walked
up on the stand, shook hands with
' Tillman and said he was a Bratton
man at flrst but now he was a Till
s manite "from hell to breakfast."
' A prominent Bratton man said it
* was only righteous indignation for
'' the treatment of Bratton at Laurens.
' After live minutes of confusion
thrice confounded Tillman again
' proceeded and was heard with re
' spectful attention till the close of his
s speech.
He rehearsed the charges of the
l) campaign and endeavored to defend
r the action of the March Convention.
He said he was the head of the ticket
' and the only man suggested by the
organization and if he was elected it
i- would be one time the head would
I wag the dog. He would not allow
1 the lawyers on his. ticket to dictate his
policy.
Ii He said he would carry all the
e counties in the State except live or
e six. and the people wi re goingtohnvo
c si liovernor Tillman in spite of them
i. selves. In alluding to his prospects,
it lie said lie knew of only one tiling
11 which could heat him. It would he

e tionsand extravagances of the State
i government, naming the cost of the

the figures of the reports of

incut.
Earle renewed the proposition to ,
lmve an expert to exmniiie the departinent.
Tillman said ho would make no investigations
till he was Governor. ',0'
Tillman read a letter of Senator *

the State Government.

imminent. Woodward said there V'l

THE NEW FORCE BILL. *?

l?y Southern IteiniblleniiH.
Mr. John It. Lynch, the colored ^
ex Representative from Mississippi, ri,
and now fourth auditor of the treas si<
urj*, writes an exeeedingl.v lengthy a'
connnnnieation to the Post in favor x\'
su
?f the proposed federal election law.
Mr. Lynch is one of the ablest of the hi
colored politicians of the South, or g<
rather he was, for practically Wash su
ington has been his abiding place for rc
a number of vcars. and the outy *11- T,
lie appears to take in his race is when tr
he writes an occasional letter or tl:
makes an occasional speech on South- pt
ern affairs. He is a thorough politician,
and a professional colored poli- st
tician can not be expected to give ai
good advice to his people. There arc cl
110 strong points in his argument in ei
favor of another force bill. It pro- tl
eeeds on the old assumption that the tl
colored voters of the South arc never L
to have any liberty of opinion, but are tl
to be forever chained to the hind o!
wheel of the Republican party. In tl
opposition to Mr. Lynch the voice of fii
a great many of the real representa- c:tives
of his race have been raised? ai
men who have not come to Washing- h<
ton to look forotlice, bill have stayed w
at home and cast their lot with their hi
own people. But the most signifi- b
cant circumstance about this whole
maeinncryls to no toumlinthe "strong 7
objections raised bj* many of the T
prominent white Republicans of the R
rpi 1 :
uuuturiii ??uur.> x ill" lUUWl MI^IU'.IUUM C)i
and the most respectable of these oi
questions very seriously the wisdom 01
and the expediency of the measure, tl
Mr. Thomas B. Kcogh, of South Caro- A
lina, for many years the most inlluen- w
tial Republican of that State, while d<
in the office of the Sun Bureau today, L
expressed decided dissent to the fa
policy of any more legislation to b<
regulate elections in the South. He w
said the caucus bill now pending in pi
the House was needless, that it. was g(
plainly unconstitutional, and if en cl
acted would entirely fail to accoin- fr
plish the purposes for which in gc
tended. Its only elt'ect would be to ai
disturb harmony ami promote ill will, m
He said there was a time years ago pc
when the Republican party in Con cl
gross, if it had had the courage,
could have settled the negro question, cl
and settled it permanently. That hi
time was passed, and 110 legislation ai
which the Republican party may b<

There can be no denial about the 'J

ogiHlutui'o iuuI iiuliotcil il lOl' i'X h
avagtuicc and corruption and for n
io suppression of the rights of the e
aople. h
I propose to give him and you v
uuc figures to sustain my position e
id as a complete answer to his
rnrges against our people and gov v
lnnent. They may be tedious but \
tcy are necessary. From 187(5 until c
ic present day there has been no d
egislative Assembly which had less a
nvn 12 majority of farmers over all t
ther classes of representatives from d
ic State. The largest majority of 1;
iriuers was 2S in 1.S7M and the small n
it was 12 in 1881. Now, 1 challenge ii
iy man in liis senses to answer me h
3W could the farmers have been a
rouged or ruled by rings when they n
nd a clear majority in every Assem u
ly since 187(5' <1
Now, as to the oppression by law <1
C) but 7i single one was a lawyer, r
here were Hampton, Hagood. Jeter, li
Richardson and Thompson, and not 1<
lie of them a lawyer. Of the State t
ffices a majority of them were tilled d
titside of the profession of the law, Li
icre being no lawyers except in the J
ttorney General s otl'ice. Now t hen, a
lmt does the charge amount to if it S
ties not amount to this?that the e
egislature being in the hands of the a
,liners since 187(5, that they havejp
oil ftilsio fo HtMr Iviiwi mid H???l tlu.

oven themselves unfit for self w

leering.) That . the .charge, my h
iemls, that he has made against the '1
>od name and fair fameol'this State, p
id that is the charge that you s
ust rebuke by your verdict at the o
ills. (Tremendous applause and a

There has been a very coinm^u t!

Lfainst the bill with the Democrats,
i'ith this exception it was a strict
arty vote.
A few years ago the Democrats of
ic Sixth Kentucky District grow in
ill'erciit and supposed that there
as no need for exertion. The real!
was a still hunt by the opposi

I his opponent by ovor 1,500 ma

linost solidly to unseat him. For
inntely the Democrats of that (lis
riot are attending to business, now.
'hey have just elected Hon. \V.

should lie kept strong and
ctive in every district in the I'nited

Jt must he regretted on all sides
lint there has been so much disorder

udging from the doings at these
