amendments to the ouhlictv bill
did not represent the sentiment oi
the leaders on ihe oart of the majority
in attempting to revive the
principles of the force bill. Mr. I.assiter
( \ a.) protested against the
'.measure.
Mr. tiillespie ( lexas) warned
the bouse that by passing the bil!
the condition of the negro would in

Following brief remarks In
Messrs. Kennett (X. Y.1 anil

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.
Mr. I )alzell ( I'a.) said he could ^
