to make history which Is not history
and to put an absolutely false State
ment on the Journal Ue denind that
Uie Hoaas had elected a negro aa as

produced the House Journal of IHtM.
which showed the election of Christ
mat. Ur. Kay Mid that there was no
evldcsoe to show when Tlptto Alston
had been eiectad. He said the charge
was falsa. lie Mid there was tome
old-time squirming to get out of tlm
Douglas resolution, which Ur. Lusk
had voted against, Mr. Kay said that
Duller in bla paper Usd said tha vote
area an unfortunate ooo. Ur. I.oak i
denied that the House adjoemad. Ur. I
Hay said It oartaloly did adjourn and
It adopted the adjournment resolution,
too; and he declared It would do vio
lence to the truth to adopt tlm Lusk
resolution. The fusion majority might
by sheer foiee (Hit tins resolution
through, but It Wuuld require all It*
force to do IL.
Mr. Urndcreou Mid he was sorry the
resolution had been introduced; that
he thought enough luil been dono for
tli* negroes; lie limit not yotod fnr ihu
resolution. Me said be bad nothin*
against Hie negroea ami spoke feeling

ness was unnecessary; a mneli ado
about nothing Mr. Ileudersoa
charged that wlien the vote nn the
Duuglaa resolutions was adopted. »<d<
Democrats stood up sod voted. Tub
Democrats wanted to get the Uepubll
cans in a hole. Mr. Henderson churged
that the Democrats were doing all this
for political effect, and ha insn de
clared that the late Bor. J. C. Price
had been extended the courtesies of
the Boor. Ho assarted that tuft differ
ence was that Price was u Democratic
negro: and then made the statement
that Mrs. Cleveland luid kissed Mrs.
Krpd Douglas st the White House.
Mr. Ray Indignantly denied this Mr.
Henderson then said tbal tl« Demo
cratic Legialatute had appointed more
negro magistrates than the people had
ever elected. Mr. Itay sold that this

regard to this Douglas matter. Me said
Ibe Ilouto had mit adjourned for any

wrong; that it had adtourm-d on Lne’s
birthday Me decl ired that llio Jour

that the truth might lie apokati and Die
