AGAINST THE FORCE ELECTION BILL An Eloquent Appeal by a Vigor ous Young Ilopublicnu leador. Tho last dnyp of the old year en gaged tbc. United States scnato In debut o-of the federal elections bill. As Is well known, tho republicans arc not united upon tho measure. In the first session of tho present congress the bill passed the house by a strict party vote. In the sen ate Its consideration was defeated by (Senator Quay and a few others. The president aud other party lead ers still urge tho measure against the chairman of tho Natioual Bo publican committee and other lead ing republicans iu the senate, and a few iu the house. Tho old New England leaders, such men as Hoar and Aldrlch hayo mado ablo aud exhaustive speeches for the bill. But tho sen ator who made tho greatest hit and attracted most attention from fellow-members, gallery and In the press reports was the young senator from Colorado, iu opposition to tho bill. It was his second speech iu the souato and Wolcott made a hit. His first speeoh was for free silyer aud won him great renown as repre senting tho new west republicanism, which on financial ami economic policies sides with the south rather than wltn Now England, He voiced this feeling in a powerful manner on this occasion. THE SPEECH. Ho spoke only twenty-one min utes, and iu that time told both sides some plausible and well-seasoned political truths. He refuted tho sectional and partisan attacks of the South on tho bill, but showed that he opposed tho bill on loftier grounds, than those based ou party passion and sectional projudico. He regretted to differ with able men of liis party, but to him there was no alternative, as ho opposed tho bill from considerations for tho welfare of tho whole country. He showed that many more important meas ures were being neglected und forced out of tho position their imporfunco claimed, by this bill. Tho nation stood in tho shadow of financial dis aster, prices wcro again shrinking and morchauts falling for waut of a suitable currency, aud he called it u travesty on duty to sit hero and spend time discussing changes in an ejection law which has Btood with out chango for twenty years,. But it was not on account of tho importance of other measures or lack of time that he opposed this bill, but It was because he was was AOAIN8T FKDEHAL SUKVEILLANCO. "The bill, Mr. President, should not become a law becuuso It involves federal interference and espionage in other than national elections, and such interference Is contrary to the spirit of our lititutiouaud an ob stacle to tho right enjoyment of lib erties. If a measure could be iramcd making tho day of election of mem bers of congress separate and dis tinct from any local elections, and the officers appointed to supervise such election could be so limited in their powers and tenure of ofilco us to secure impartiality in tho exercise of their functions, I should favor it, but any federal meddling with state elections Is, to my mind, intolerable. Wo are told of the great good the present law has done In the larger cities and that state ofllclals have frequently worked tu harmony with tho federal officers at elections. All this may bo true, but I think it does not offer a sufficient urgumeut for the law. Take tho city of New York with thousands of Ignorant and criminal and venal voters. ItKKOHM WILL COME. "It Is, to my mind, better that Its local and state elections should be at tended with fraud und dishonesty than that they should be kept pure by federal Interference. Even In tho cltyof New York there are infinitely more good men than bad, more men who want honest elections than there uro men who wuut dishonest elections, und while for (he time local Interests suffer, in the end tho decent men baud together, animated not only by motives of good citizen ship, but by u desire to protect prop erty Interests, and by united action they secure good government, or us near an approueli to It as can Ix) hud Iu great rjltles- 1'uhllo opinion Is al ways not finally right, but finally controlling, und federal surveillance only weakens the cltizou's sense of responsibility without permanently eradicating tho ovil. 'Wo tried tho reriicdy of federal interference in Denver, the capital of Colorado. Wo tried it last in 1888 at tho suggestion and under tho mauagemout of n democratic dis trict attorney and a democratic mar shal. The law was administered by a judgo who is bo exceedingly fair aud impartial that ho Is invariably opposed to both sides. Laughter. Iu tliiitconununity,the capital of tho state of Colorado, composed of peo ple noted for their probity and up rightness on election day as welt as every other day in tho year, Wo hud federal supervision of tho election two years ago. No chango was made in the result and there could bo no change because It was an hon est election. Aud yet, Mr. President, I do not believe that In the city of Denver there was a citizen who loved his state who did not iu his heart resent tho presence at tho polliug places of theso federal marshals to supervise this exerclso of tho high function tf sullrago respecting tho matters which affected his common wealth. Aud lu tho last congres sional election, by tho united aud expressed wish of both political par ties, we did away with fedoral super vision nud mauaged our own elec tion fairly und impartially an( uu corruptedly, IT WOULD STIR UP STHIFE. "Tho friends of the bill, Mr. Pres ident, assume it to bo iu tho inter est of tho colored uiuu when its enactment could bring him only harm. It would bo idle to say that the government could not enforce this law. It would bo 'equally Idle to claim that it ever woulu, in fact, be enforced. The pcnple of the United States waut no more civil strife, nud against tho. united oppo sition of the white population lu tho Southern states, any attempt to en force it would mean practically a conflict between tho stato and national authorltlin. Tho old Ill feeling would be resumed, and whilo all, as it party, were lighting to pro tect tho colored voter, tho old days of terrorizing would comoogaln, and tho. weaker race would be the sutlercr. It Is true that tho very foundation and corner-stone of our republic is tho right of suffrage aud tho protection of every citizen enti tled to vote lu equal enjoyment of that right; yet I must risk adverse criticism by suggesting that at this time, In I ho present economic con dition of tho South, and with tho present general ignorance of tho colored race, for which it Is nowise responsible, there uro many things mora important and vital to tho welfaro of this nation than that tho colored citizens of the South shall vote. There has been a lack, I fear, of Ingenuousness ou both sides of this chamber. The democratic opponents of this bill would havo lost nothing had they publicly ad. tnltted what Is everywhere claimed for them iu private, that in certain Southern slates where the colored population outnumbers tho white, the colored voters, owning compara tively none of tho tuxublo property toi tho community, uro led and con trolled by a few Irresponsible men, and would, If permitted to exercise tho right of suflrtigo secured to them uuder the constitution, destroy oil safeguards to proporty und work irreparablo Injury to tho best inter ests of the commonwealth, and that for theso reasons they nre circum vented of their tights. This would bo ttt least an intelligent reason for opposition to the measure. ICJNOKANCB CANNOT HULK. "On tho other hand It occurred to mo that when thenenator from Lou Isiana (Mr.Eustls) asked the scnutor from Oregon (Mr. Dolph) tho other day what his stato would do if tho Chinese had the franchise lu Oregon and outnumbered the whites, the answer seemed somewhat evasive. I cannot speak for Oregon, und yet I give it us my solemn opinion that in Colorado, where mountains In spire only freedom and love of Jus- tlco, where the republican party has as large a majority In proportion to population as Kansas und Nebraska in their lucid years, If such u condi tion of uffuirs existed us the seuutor stated, und Ifthut vote was opposed to the lucid und Intelligent white vote, then In some way and by some method, I know not how, the white vottf would govern. But It by no means follows that the congressional representation should be bused otherwise than ou the vote cast, und tho existing state of aflalrH at the South oilers no good reason why the conditions should not be equullzetl by law us that a votelu the North should huvo the same value for purposes of political representation us a vote lu theHouth. I um not Informed that In auy southern state there Is uny Inclina tion to leglslute ugulnst the colored man, or lliut, except iu the question of sulfruge there Is serious friction between the races, "Ho fur the views of the two races Ituve been radically opposed to each other. The time will surely come, lu my opinion (If wo do not seek to foment trouble) when the white vc ttm of the South will bo hardly as (Coocludtdtm fuurtUptme.J U a.a Want the most we'ean get for our money at CHRISSMAN'& OSBORN'S.
