Following brief remarks In Messrs. Kennett (X. Y.1 anil Ijonvnge (Col.) in support of tin. bill. Mr. Williams (Miss.) made ;i vigorous speech against it. "The great old party." lie began, "haresolved itself into a vaudeville stock company." I le charged the republicans with not daring to face any great public question in a fair ami straight forward way. hv combining several propositions in one bill. "\\ hat are you trying to do?' lie inquired. "Does the gentlemai from Indiana think he can turn the bands of the clock of time back hall a century? Does he think he car produce the days of the carpet-bag ger and Reconstruction in the soutl once more? Does he think the business interests of the north wil stand for a recurrence of tin saturnalia ?" I he reduction in reprcsentatior amendment, he declared, had beet added to defeat the publicity bill "You have 110 idea of reducing th< ^ . .. , representation of California, Massa- o ^ chusetts or Connecticut." i: 3 I'lic people of the south, he said, 1 are willing to take the issue. It .a was desired to ignore amendment and the republicans were willing to restore to Mississippi the power to fix her suffrage along radical 8 lines, the people of that State were ^ readv for the gauntlet. "Throw it down whenever you please!" he exclaimed. "As to the reduction of s " our representation in congress," he . '? said, "in God's name take it and 11 * welcome to it; but be honest when f (' you do it." Mr. \\ illiams declared that if the .V ~ publicity feature of the bill should ? ' become law "it will damn your re^ publican party and be worse for vou ?! 5 than (he force bill which defeated ! 11 am son. It was all false pretenses, ~ lie declare!I. and he said to the republicans, "I.ike children you are i. playing with lire in a powder maga- ,.1 zinc. lie closer! "by askmg the re- .1 publicans if they were fools enough ' ' to believe that the south would . s again submit to the policies to / ' which >he submitted when she was weak and helpless.
