Jliiuse Mr. Itcid'H Argument
for Further 'I hue.
WASHINGTON , March 28. When the
upcakcr's gavel fell today llicre were less
than eighty members on the floor. The
house proceeded with some routine business ,
pending a , report expected from the rules
committee for the disposition of the con
tested election pases of O'Neill against Joy
and RiiRllfdi against Hllborn.
Letters from the secretary of the treasury
and attorney general vvero transinltled , Ask
ing for adlllonal appropriation- Die
secrel service and the United Stales courls.
Mr. Otitliv.alto of Ohio , from the committee
on rules , reported a rule limiting debate lo
two hours each on Ihe two election cises ,
the final vole Ihen to bo taken. Mr. Oulh-
vvalte demanded the previous question on the
adoption of the rule. The vote on ordering
the previous question resulted 1C4 to 0.
Mr. Heed made Ihe point of no quorum
The vote resulted 179 ) eas and 1 nay , one
moie than n quorum. The speaker voted In
the alllrmatlvo. The icsult was greeted with
applause. This Is the first tlmo for a week
the democrats have mustered a quorum.
Mr. Heed criticised the disposition to liusllo
through these cases without discussion. Ho
silt ! Iho purpose of the republicans had been
to call attention to a great outrage , the
house and the country being In the habit of
paying little attention to election cases.
Mr. Outhwallo replied by salng that more
time foi discussion of the cases In the first
place had been offered. IIo also rovlov.cd
the action of the Plfly-flrst congress on elec
tion cases and pointed oui the quick manner
In which cases were then disposed of.
Mr. Heed moved to commit the into , with
- Insfeucllons lo report n rule Allowing fuilhcr
time. The speaker was Inclined lo think
this niotUn could not be entertained.
Mr. Heed argued the case on technical
Brou nils ,
The speaked ruled the motion to recom
mit was equivalent to a proposition to
amend. Amendments \\ero not In order
after the previous question had been
01 dend. Therefore the motion of the gen
tleman from .Maine ( Heed ) was not In older.
HAD A HAKR QUORUM.
On the question of adopting the report ot
the committee , Mr. Onthualte demanded the
Jcjus and nays. Tin ? division hav'lng de
veloped the lack of a quorum , the repub-
.llcans ugulh refrained from \ollng. The
vole on llm adoption of the special rule was
172 to 7 , Including the voto-of the speaker ,
, mid It wus agreed to , a bare quorum voting.
The resolution of the committee , on elec-
, lions duclailug John J. O'Neill entitled lethe
the seat for the Rlovcnth district of Mis
souri was read and Mr. Patterson of Ten
nessee was recognized on the side ot the
majoilty report and Mr. Daniels of New-
York on the side of the minority.
Mr. Patterson's slalemcnt Involved a very
elaborate und oxlcnded explanation ot Iho
Missouri ballot law.
Itepicsenlallvo Daniels of Now York , In
ch'irgo ' of the case for Mr. Joy , followed Mr.
Patteisoii with a view ot the Australian
ballot law of Missouri as applying to the
i -Joy ballots. As lo Iho objection that the
Initials of the election Judges were not on
the ballot" , Mr. Daniels contended that this
was un erior to bo charged ugulnst the
judges and not against the voters.
u Mi. Pulntcr of Kentucky followed , arguing
the absence of the Initials ot the judges
fiom the ballots Invalidated them ,
Mr. lluitholdt ot Missouri contended that
the republican vote ot Missouri amounted to
K\ \ pet cent ot the democratic vole und the
Kerrminder had enabled them lo secure
u representation of only 15 per cent ut the
doiuocrallc vole. Now It was proposed to
tut this down to one-half. The election ma
chinery wus all In the hands ot the demo
crats.
Mr. Denson of Alabama argued for the
contestant and the majority report , while
Mr. Huiruvvs ot .Michigan argued against
the majority report. A request for unanimous
consent to cxlend his remarks was refused.
Ho asserted that he would decline to vote to
disfranchise any of the citizens of Mlsso.irl
by reason of a failure of Iho election ofllcers
to put their initials on the ballot , the Intent
of the vote being plain.
Mr. Joy of Missouri , whose seat was at
Issue , argued tlio recount ot the billets had
built up Ids majority. The grounds ot the
contest , he claimed , us finally made , were
not valid In the notice ot contest scivctl upon
him , as required by law.
URRD'S AIIOUMRNT.
Mr. Heed ot Maine pointed out that the
Missouri statutes provided that judges aio
required to put their Initials on ballots.
Further , that Judges shall not deposit the
ballot unless U has the Initials. Hu held
this vvnfc Intended to give the voler n chance
o tectlfy the omission It the Initial was at
first omitted. He said It was proposed to
dlsfraneliliin over 000 votc'is on account of
the fault nf the judges.
Mr. Call ot Massachusetts closed for the
mluoilty icpoit.
Mi. Ilruwn of Indiana consumed the bal-
niic-o of the time for Iho mujorlly leport.
Ho cl limed that they vvero hound to ob-
beivo Ihe slalute of Missouri , which gave
power to election judges lo disfranchise
Miters or not.

licans Ihen picelpltutcd another filibuster

The soldiers passed a comparatively com

rlng addirsjt , which In Its points did not
lllffer from , the speech made at the Uxpo-
sil'ori ' building last evening. The goveinor
pidfnced his lema'iks by the following
vv ptds :
'Much has happened since the great re
publican national convention of ISO. : as
sembled In this hall. The pint foim and
candidates of that gieat convention , nd-
mliable us they weie , were iejected by the
people at the election following ; but the
people had no sooner spoken than Ihcy
reallred their great mistake a mistake
which they now feel most sensibly nnd re
gret most deeply. The principles enunci
ated nt that convention were true then ,
they are true now. TlMV are as dear to
iepublliu.ni now as then ; they nre better
understood , and moie ardently suppoited
by the great body of the people In the \eai
1894 than thev were In the year ISO. . While
the lepubllcan p-irty failed to cuiiv the
election , the calico for which It conti nded
did not fall. It survived the awful dis
aster nnd shines more brightly nnd
gloiiously than evel befoie.
"What weie the gre-it. principles and
policies then enunciated In this hall ? Let
me enumerate them : A protective tailff ,
which shall serve the highest Interests ot
Ameilcun lubot and American develop
ment ; leclprocity , which , while seeking the
v\01 Id's nnrl.ets foi oui surplus products ,
shall nut destiov American wages , noi sui-
rendei Ameilcun muikets for products
which can be made at home ; the use of
both gold and sllvei with which to meas
ure the cxihaiiges of the people and cheat
nobody ; honest elections , which me the
tine Miuices of public authoiltv ; the exten
sion of oui foielgn conimeice ; the lestoi.i-
tlon of our nimlmnt mailnu bv home-
built ships ; the cieatlon of a navy for the
protection of our national Interests and the
honor of oui Hag : maintenance of the
most filendly icliitlons with nil foreign
powers and entangling alllanoes with none ;
the iculllrmatlon of the Monioe doctrine ,
unil of oui faith In Hie achievement of thu
manifest destiny of the republic as the
best government of eaith In the broadest
nnd tincst sense. . . .
"Who would modify these pilnclples ;
who would icveiso this de-cluied policy ;
who would strike Horn the tepubllran ban
ner a single star or stllpe ? bike all 10-
publlcan dorttlues they aio unchangeable.
Upon them the lepubllean pnity bases Its
claim to futuio supremacy and Impatiently
awaits thu constitutional oppoitunlty to
make Its appeal to the people.

] { epieentatlc Wainer of Now ToiU , who
secured the passage ol the amendment to
the Wll"on bill placing mw and letlned
stigiu on the fiee list , "ays : "We will jot
rid of the sugal bounties one v\av or an-
othef. If they n\e \ conliilned in the tnilff

Mr. Wainer and other anti-bounty men
would attach It to the nppiopimllon tiorn
width the bounties me paid if It tould bo

that the sugar bounty Is a permanent np-
ptoprlatlon and dots not appear In any ot

opportunity , thorefoic , of moving to stiIKo
out the bounty nppiopiiutlon. The only
way of leaching It Is by a icpeal of thu

Should thu effoit be made to attach n

IIo Ihen goes further Into the history of
the wage conference and recites the position
regarding certain schedules , rules and regu
lations which were In force prior to the
receivership and which ho understood would
be regarded upon the part of the men as
conliactual obllgallons upon Iho company.
Ho slates that he IK Moved this mailer wan
not a proper subject for negotiation , dis
cussion or conference , and ho left the deolk-
lon to the court , stating that on Ihe opening
of Iho conference hu had prepared u slale-
inent for the representlives ! ! us to the hold
ing of the receivers regardms said rules and
regulations , maintaining that none of these
lilies In force prior to the receivership con
stituted contracts or established contractual
relations between any of Iho corporallons

NOT A COMPLRl'R IIRPORT
This , U Is understood , Is only thu aduinco

dent of car service , whoso superior quail
flcatlons uio well known In Iho railroad
world.
U Is learned from what Is considered good
authority that the attorne > u for the men will
not urge that the rules and regulations In
force prior to the receivers ! Ip are contracts
binding upon the rcclovcrs. It this proven
trill ) It will eliminate a very Interesting
