TONGUE, nisrepresentation of the Interests of the Peop'e of the First District. Reasons Why He Shnu d Not be Re-Elected. Falureto At tend to His Duties. A Y0USU KOHAN An examination of the Record shows that np to the Kith of Anril there were 87 roll calls during the 65th congress in the house of representatives, out of which be was absent 26 times, failing to do his duty or dodging the responsi bility. Tiue to his English instincts he voted to Sllow pelagic sealing in the waters of the Pacific, thereby continuing the des truction ofjthejseals. (See Cong. Record, page 225 ) He also voted January 11, 1898, to cut (iff debate and railroad through a hill under consideration involvi ng $21,562, 425.65 (sen Record, page 556). He voted to make the producers and miners of gold in Oregon pay the cost of transportation to the mints from the as say offices thereby putting an additional burden on an important industry in his state (See page 584 of Cong. Record.) Qn January 21, 1898. (see page 900 of the Record) he voted again, insisting on the above exaction. He voted in favor of an extravagent monument in the little town of Dtnville, III ; involving a half million dollars of expense, atw time when the most rigid economy is necessary, and the burdens I of the people are exceedingly Ereat. There is no evidence in his record that he has attempted to do anything of like character fur the people of'his district or liia state. (See page 590 of the Rec ird .) On January 19. 1898. he voted in favor of a point of order which denied recog nition to suffering Cuba, snd that war existed. iSee page 816 of the Record ) If fur representative of the first district had done his duty in favor of the recog nition of the belligerency of Cuba and b vote and speech used his influence in that direction it is possible that the de ttruclion of our sailors in the harbor of Havana miuhthave been avoided. On January 20, 1898 (see Cong Rec ord, page 8t4), he voted again to helo defeat another resolution under consid eration, recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban peop'e.' On January 28,1898. when the propo sition to appropriate 288,000 to the Meihodist Book agents was under con sideration,, he dodged the quostioq by not voting. (See Cong. Record, page 1227.) He voted in favor of paying the United States bonds in gold, thus adding to the profits of the bondholder and increasing the burdens of those engaged in agricul tnral and every other produc ng inter est. .(See Cong. Record, page 1372 ) 'lie voted to unseat A.T. Plowman, who hd.l lurality of 2,305 votes, thus din fr&nt'hrViot 10,312 voters in the fourth congressional dixtrict of Alabama, when he held his own seat in congress by the narrow martin of 59 votes. He dodged voting when the bankrupt cy bill was under consideration a measure which would give relief to honest debtors in hit) state. (See Cong Record, psge 2170.) On March 3, 1898, he voted for a meas ure tending to injure and limit the circu lation of country newspapers, thus af fecting the interests of the great mass of people, and limiting their opportunities for cheap reading matter. (See Cong, record, page 2738.) lie voted to authorize the merging of street railways in the District of Colum-1 ma, thus giving corporations therlgit and opt on unity to increase their capi tal, and still further water their stuck (See Cong. Record, page 2838). On April 4, 1898, he voted to give the Ptnns' lvania railroad monopoly in the United States, control of tiie cab st nice in the entire district of Colum bia, thus interfering with the rights of individuals already engaged in that work. (See Cong Record, pa;?e 39J9 ) On Aprd 5. 1898, he voted to make a gift of $330,(100 of the people's money to a ship building firm, while the ship builders of Ins own state are neglected. (See Cong. Record, page 3955.) He again voted against the recognition of Cuba, and also against taking action on the disaster to the Maine. (See Oong. Record, page 4196.) tin April ', 18!)8, he voted to seat a gold democrat as a representative, and at temped to turn out of lin seat the reg ular deti.ocrnt who, was elected hv i clear majority. The scheme failed be-1 cause a !mge number of republicans would not allow such injustice to be done. (See 0' lig. Record, 4578 ) On April 28, 1898, lie voed to all iw railroad companies in the Indian Terri t ly, to merge, and to lease other lines, thus giving ilu ralroal c iiii.inies in that section an opporluniiy to increase and water their capital stock am! add to the burdens of those who are compelled to use the railroads in marketing their agricultural products.
