Ho \vasopposcdtoltso fur as it proposed toob- tal n feucral control of elections' , But ho was opposed to the amendment because It sought to wcaltcii a law already on the statute books. ISIr. Doutello of Malno snld the naked ques tion presented win whether those people who were by the constitution and laws entitled to thorlght of suitrngo should bo protected in the exercise of that right. ISlr. Tucker's amondiucnt was rejected. Wr.

Outhwalto himself requested that all favoring tbo de mand rlso ftnd the entire- democratic sldo arose , hut the speaker entirely Ignored it , Ho stated , however , that If there was 110 ob jection the yeas and nays might bo ordered , There being no objection , the speaker directed thu clerk to call the roll amid u volley of pro- /'tests from the democrats : it being grunted as a favor what they demanded as a right. Mr , * " ICO ; niiys , 144. Mr. Iloniphlll offered nn amendment to section 82 , tbo purpose of which amend ment was , ho said , to eliminate the proviso which empowered supervisors to use thonrniy and navy. Mr. McKlnloy said the amendment would take from the president all the power ho had tocnforco judicial processes. The bill would be destroyed if the government wns depiivcd oftho right to use the federal power tooxo- ctito luilleinl processes under the proposed measure. This was n bill looking to an hon est representation on the lloorof the Ameri can congress and honest votes and afair count in every part and section of the American republic. [ Itepubllcan iiiphui30. | ] That was nil there was of the bill , No honest man could object to it , It was said the bill would bo expensive ; would cost millions ; that It as sumed that the : BO districts of tlio country would Invoke the oper ation of the law and there wns not a man who did not know that not 100 dis tricts would Invoke Its operation. They could diminish the cost of the administration of the h-JW in the ratio in which they diminished fraudulent voting , fidso counting , ballot box BtillHng and suppression of votes. [ Republi can applause. ] It would cost nothing if there was no need of It. U'lds question would not rest until Justice was dono. It was tbo supreme promo duty of the nntloii to enforce the con stltutlon and laws oftho United States.

Ho was not milng to discuss Iho tnrllt in connection with the bilh. There ( referring to the Amer ican carrying trade ) was a dead body.

The American carrying trade was dead for want of protection. It vas the only- great American Industry of which the sumo could bo said. The people of the United States had paid S3),000,000 ) , a year to keep alive the sugar growing industry of the United States. Six millions a year would re vive the dead body of the American merchant marine und keep it on the oeem.
