the exercise of the elective franchise and any government that was restrained in the execution of that power was a disgrace to the civilized world and unworthy to be ranked among the family of nations in the present great struggle the president must yield the republican party never the nation could not endure if sectional bitterness were ware perpetuated he warned the routh south that it had ilo lio nothing thing the democracy of the tho n tiie the democracy was co cowardly ward ly it would incite its brethren co ro mischief and abandon them when the crisis came during late years the pendulum of power had bad been swinging toward the south and it might be that the statues of lincoln and grant would give place to those of jackson and lee but it would swing back again and when isso 1880 came around and the millions in lit the north who had bad fought for the union had rallied under the leadership of a great captain the revolutionary purposes odthe of the democratic darty party would retire to the rear as they had retired lu in the past humphreys warned the democrats that the country would not submit to their party whip only until its voice could be heard beard the north was

the army appropriation bill of 1868 provisions which president johnsonjr Johnson Jo huson hubon in Jn signing the bill had protested against and also a precedent by the bamo same party in placing on the sundry civil bill of 1872 one tha tho measures which it was now proposed to repeal if after the democratic majority in both houses had bad exercised its constitutional rights the president took the responsibility of stopping the supplies for government he thought the responsibility would be on the president and not on congress he hoped the president would not attempt to coerce congress he hoped that iu in republican america the spectacle would not be presented of the highest officer in the land putting himself between the operation of government and the people chalmers Chal chai merB ze referring ferring to garfield speech said the remarks made by that gentleman had shown that be he had forgotten the history of the laws which it was proposed to repeal in the last congress he had admitted that his party had enacted those laws and was waa willing to have them mustered out of the service in 1867 the democratic party had bad wanted a suspension of military domination and they had asked for it in the very same language which was now in the appropriation pria tion bill he deprecated the attempt made to blacken the names of senator powell and reverdy John johnson bon Bou by saying abat that they had been advocates of using the army to keep the peace at the polls in reference to garfielda Gar fields statements that sout southern bouthern hern herg democrats of 1861 threatened to shoot the union to death he ho declared that they had bad made no such threat the south had claimed the right of peaceful secession and had llad attempted peacefully to secede becede the bouth south had not only m made adamd no threat throat to shoot the union unida to death but it had bad said what abraham had said to lot alioti let there be no strife between us if you go to the north we aiu go to the bouth south 11 it was waa the tho north that i said you shall not go yo you sent grand armies after after us you hemmed us in by lanki and sea you not dot only threatened to

party ya standing on the vital principles of liberty if it said eaid he thia this government must die and die at the hands bands of such a president then the democratic party can look in the face of the tile dying ying goddess of liberty and say shake not thy gory locks at me thou cinat not say I 1 did it applause on the democratic and jeering leering and laughter on the republican side to this complexion has it come at last that the majority must go like supplicants on bended knee and pray to their most worshipful highnesses of the tha minority to redress the grievances grio vances or that this government must die what was meant by the thre threat of garfield that gentleman knows his party is powerless inthe house and in the senate what then do daes es this threat mean before him when he made it bat eat the secretary of the state behind him bat eat the general of the army we know that the army and the president are the only instruments by which the republican party can carry out its threat if it was not mere more bravado not a mere galvanic shock of eloquence intended to stimulate the spinal column of the president it wab was intended as a threat to the american people that if we dared to redress a grievous wrong by putting its repeal on an appropriation bilig bill it would be denounced as revo and that the president with the army and navy at his back would put down that thai revolution the name of revolution has no fear feat for us sneering demonstrations st Bt on the republican side we learned to love it in our childhood it brings back to us that good struggle for freedom when our revolutionary ancestors left their footprints stamped in the enow of 0 valley vailey forge so that we their children may take heart again whenever enever the hour of peril shall come

exceedingly witty history tells us thab that english kings gerein were in the habit babit of keeping jesters at court furnished with a fools cap and beila belle it seems that a republican lican n

laughter on the democratic side bide conger laskett X asked the heroic gentleman from mississippi aplaon a plain civil simple question but instead of answering it he hc jumps on his music musie box bos and makes grimaces to the tho country and the ter demonstrations on the tha republican side the members clapping their hands and in indulging in loud lond laughter for foe a considerable time and chalmers made another retort erye frye said baid he be did mob know how long the republican members would be compelled to silt bit still and listen to the charge chargo that they had for is 18 years of the republic a drunken ranken despotism reeling and reeking through the land and to 6 the he declaration that this was military despotism and that it was for the thia democratic party to restore it to the mille mum of peace he did aid not know how long they should have to submit to bein being told that they were the men to be forgiven and have to hold their voices for fear they might offend some gentlemen on the other side or might arouse the ghost of the old 1 I bloody shirt he did not kno know w but they ought to sit quietly and submit to the charge that they had haa become military despots because united states troops had been sent to new york city to keep the peace he did not nol know but they should keep silent to the fact that the democrats of new york eity city had murdered scores of black men before any united states troops were sent there to keep the peace perhaps they ought to submit to being called remorseless lieonas hyenas and make no sort of reply ho sent to the tha alq clerk desk and had read an extract from the okolona southern states thanking god they had captured thu the capitol etc muldrow said that that paper represented no respectable element of the mississippi demoor democracy ady auy one of its editors was a man who was carpel bagged from ohio to mississippi within the past four year frye I 1 have heard again and again that cr cry as to 0 o the capitol you have been nearer to it than you are today to day but you never have put your hand yet upon the capitol and under god you never will wili Ap applause on the republican side bide and great excitement throughout the hall frye continued the south had turned upon udon the north and made de demand m and after dem demand ud in rapid succession su and the north in its humiliation had bad res

the executive yet applause on the republican side aide when the democratic party thought they would have him by threatening him with pistols in their hands bands and demanding all they wanted they thoy were making an entire mistake derisive laughter on the democratic side houss houst are you in favor of retaining on the statute book a law which permits tho the army to keep peace at the polk do you advocate that law frye I 1 have not a shadow of a doubt about its hurd said that if anything had bad been i settled by the legislation of the la last st quarter of a century it was that the general legislation itself might be attached to the appropriation bills and certainly no one would dispute the proposition that measures in regard to the economy and bearing on the revenues were required to be originated in the house the house was waa light in ili iti insisting that these theta objectionable measures should be repealed the ine The measures mures which it was wag proposed to repeal were from their very nature dangerous and destructive to civil liberty all history is full of warning on this subject |
