Ilou.r.l Wasiiiagto.n, Sept 17. In the House tho Iaug.ton-Venab!e con-tcstivl con-tcstivl election case cams up, and the Democrats resorted to the tactics of Ieaviti tho chamber when the roll was called on consideration, but the clerk finally managed to note a quorum, and Haugen ( Wis. 1 proceeded pro-ceeded to argue the case. Cheadte (lud.) opposed Uie majority major-ity resolution and duclarcd that the Kourth-Dl-trict or Virginia vras reliably re-liably Republican. It had been carried by the Democrats, not le-ca'ise le-ca'ise of the oularity of Cleveland or the unpopularity of Harrison, but because of irreconcilable diUerences in the Rspublican party. It hid been a race division, with all that such a division could imply in the South. It would be suicidal for tho Republican jnrty to seat the man who led the bolt agai nsl the regular Re libl!can candidate. He said if thirc was little law and less evidence to sustain the conUjt, there was still Ire for the Republicans. He was confident that there never could be a strong and effective Re-jubllcnn Re-jubllcnn arty iu Uie Soutii until tnere were enough white min in it to make it strong and eflVrtlve.

The contestant, flying in the face of these conditions, hsd ralicd the race issue, rnd Uie rusuit had been that Virginia had now only two Re-publ'can Re-publ'can representatives. Ignorance could not dominate or ever rule, and an Intelligent Re-jiubllcan Re-jiubllcan patty In the South could not be built on Uie negro vote nlone. Ho(Chcadle) could not under Ills oatli and from his knowledge of Uie case vote to scat the contestant, and he hoped, for the good name of the House and Uie good name of the great party to which he belonged, that there would be enough -Republicans voting with blm to retain Venable in his seat He eulogized ilahone, and predicted Uiat if his leadership were followed, Virginia, in a tevr years would be as reliably Republican as Vermont When Cbcadie concluded lie was greeted wlUi applause by the Democrats. Demo-crats. The case then went over until un-til to-morrow. The Speaker announced his signature sig-nature to the River and Harbor bill, and tho House took a recess.
