I/*t us k«s>p np this Fusion like friends, and then your Populist frn-nda will stand by you, no doubt.. Mr. Lusk said the proposed change would leave 2 500 ma jority in the Eighth and about 1,000 in the 9th. If you take us down we will be “oversowed,” and you will have the pleasure, no doubt, of seeing the gensb man from Macon repres triagy »u. “How do you like him? (Pointing at Mr. Ray). (Laughter). Personally, I like him; but politically, 1 have no use on ear; h. for him. Suppose it is a question between Mr Ray and myself (laughter) who will you vote for? Who? W deb t (Liugbter) Lusk, Ray; Lusk, Ray, came from a score of members “Take ihe vo - e,” said Mr, i,usk. Speaker- “1 hop-- this action on the floor wili not be re pea tin 1.” Persons not members were ordered to the lobby, and the Speaker rapp'd loudlv for order to be res ored. Mr Ewart called the previous quest ion. Mr Henderson protested hotly saying this would not be latr so him. Speaker: ‘ the Chair will not hurry things uu duly.” Mr. Ewart gave notice that lie w mid c ill the previous qu stion in thirty mi tutes. Mr Ray asked to send up an amendment. O *j**eted toby Mr. Ewart. R ded iu order. Mr. Ray’s amendment was to submit the question to th • voters of Mitchell county. * Remains thi* King-Tail Polywag. Mr. Head rson asked for fifteen min üb's. Mr. K vart: “No, sir. can t g v»‘ you fifteen minutes, will give you fiv<\” (Laughter), Mr. Henderson said he would withdraw if he wa going to be gaug'd. Mr. E.vart yielded. Mr Henderson wis sorry to go into t o caucus matter It was rushed through i i one minu e wirhoure ilisideration. You can’t gag me by caucuses. How did you stand wheunhey tried to ptr the gag law on you ou the iaterts bill (pointing his linger with much excitement at Mr. Lusk), aud here you iriug up your poly wog candidate Y.u ku \v what a po y Vog is: it is a cross between a tad pole and a toad with a ring around Irs tail (liughter;) a chameleon that takes the color from tin; thing be sits on (laughter); a Popp) populist. Con tusion nnd cross-lire exchanges came here between Lusk and Hen derson, Mr. Campb 11 e tiled Mr. Henderson to the q lestion. Mr. Hen derson said this question hula broad scope. (Laughter) Many interruptions- Mr. Hondo son; “1 won’t yi*-ld: I wou’dn’t yield to Grover Cleveland. 'Ve worked up a cron and now they w ant to come over and g> t it arid our district from us. Carry this atter home to your own districts and say whet her or not yon will Most talented men have told me that the caucus h<d no right to do wh it it did. Mr. Lusk: ‘ They did do it.” Mr. Henderson: “Yes and I refused then to be bound by it. You tried to put me out for it, but you couldn’t do it, I hid too go >d a record.

Mr. Campbell: “Everybody kn«>ws that Mr I iuney had a tatr chance before the caucus aud the committee I say that this State owes more to Mr. Pea> son for this coalition than to any other man in North Carolina. Mitsbed c unty has no business belonging to the Eight.’) d strict As to the ftefitions tieing in the same handwriting—-why there are many there who can’t write (laughter.) The Democrats, whatever you sav about them, they are not so >ls, and 1 want them to have an eye to business and vote for this bill.” (Laughter ) Mr. Linebaek: “Tnis hi 1 contain* a ve r y improper and irr- gular propo-itiou to take Mitchell county from Hi • E glnn d strict between censuses. A gentleman (Mr, Lusk) said Mitchell was stolen. .Well he (vtr. Pearson) helped to steal it. Do you propose for him, 1 wont call his name, to make a foot ball of Mitchell and kick it out, then k ckit in?” Mr. Williams, o' Craven: “D >es not that show political sagacity ?” Mr Line back: “1 thiuk it shows poetical trick »ry. When he was a Democrat, he wanted Mitchell county kicked i u* and now as a Republican he wants it kicked iu ” Mr Riy said that some of the strong est Democrats were in fa or of this bill; the Democrats were divided on it, aud yet on the other side, they are truing ow to array the Populists and Republi cans against the Democrats Th** ninth district is the largest in North Carolina, and now if y< u attach Mitchell, jou will do it for political purposes We re districted the State on the basis of popu lation aud you want to add more votes for p litioal purposes and all tnis for what? to make a place for Mr Pearson two years hence, a man who denied he was a Republican. Mr Pearson was called out a* d asked was he a Republican. He said no. A man who de ied he was a Populist, a ra m who carried his polities under lus hat, a man who wa* anything— a man who would sacrifice his manhood aud principle and the Republicm party as well tor the power aud plunder of an office I uud**r take to say that you cannot in the his tory of this government find an instance in which the Democratic party has ever redistricted a State except just subse quently to the taking of a census, and that on the basis of the population. Mr. Pearson will push aside two years hence Republicans who have fought for the principles of their party, and force the nomination as he dt 1 before, regardless of merit or party affiliations. Iu the last campaign, he never once turned his hand to a single work exeep f that of the atlvaoe* raent of Richmond Pearson, and u >w with the condemnatory vote of 127 which, as th** leading Republicans in our district state, a Republican would have made 2.500, he throws up ins bt - seeching arms to the Republicans ami Populists crying ‘help me Oassiua or 1 peri.~h 1* ” (Great applause ) His Politics Fiuit-r His Hat. Mr. French didn’t under.* n! w v y The News and Observer, Saturday, February 16. 1805. Mr Pearson’s name should he dragg-si into this dts ’UH-uou. It was not set led *hat Mr. Peitrson would b* the next eon didate But this bill h.is tx*< n settled tqxtn and decided as a part the pr*>- gr <mme of a party caucus, and 1 hope the decision will be stood by Mr. Hunter said that Mr. Linney hail been given a respectful betting before the tom mil tee, and when Mitchell cum ty signiri* d her desire to go into the pint ‘i dis f rict Mr linney simply re ! ired from the field in obedience to that desire. He hopt'd the factious -opposition of the gentleman from Wilkes would not meet with success, and that this bill would go iut) effect Mr Turner, of Mitchell, gave ;iofj<e of an amendment. He said if we fat ed to abide by the edicts ot the caucus in this particular, how cmi l we b ne for agreement hereafter. We should decide the question u;x>n a hi«is of policy, to d strike <»ut all names from the considera tion of it Th»* Eighth district has treat ed 11s ffftingly and in saying farewell we wish to givt* them a parting kiss. Turner's Dainty Kiss-Fjgger Again. Mr Ray gave notice of some more amendments, the first one providing that th** bill should not go into effect until so decide 1 by a majority of the voters of Mitchell county. The vote was taken on this amendment. Lost. Ayes TO, uoes 50. Mr. Turner's amendment ; That this aha'lire in force from March Ist, 1895. Adopted. Ayes 44, noes 38. Mr Ray's point, of order ; He thought the bill was on the second reading; he would < ffer his other amendments on the third reading. The vote was taken first ou the minority r.-p rt in favor of placing Mitchell back in the 9th Con gressional Dsttiet. “I Felt ad and Mashed I p." R marks explanatory of votes were then mads by Mr. Flack. Mr. Hileman said there had been some misunderstand ing as to caucus action; when the caucus decided on the 6 per cent interest b 11, l thought it would go through, and when my friends on the o’hor side deserted me Thursday, “I felt bad, and somewhat ma-hed up, and, b lieving that my trieuds on the other side are sick, and somewhat rep mtant over yesterday’s ac tion, 1 vote aye.” Mr Nelson, (Democrat from Cald well), dt s r. d to vote a\e. The vote stood ayei fit; noes 41, and the minority report had passed 2d read ing Mr. Ray sent forward amendments on the third reading, the first, the same as the bunt one, ex.-ep r the questi in was submitted to qu ddled v iters of the Eighth District at the next general elec tn n, and he submitted that this was f >ir. Mr Lusk; “Was the question submitted to the qualified voters when it was taken out of the Ninth District ?” Mr. Ra\: “No, sir, theu the State was redistricted on the basis of populati n, aud now it is to be done because Pear son hasn’t enough merit to carry it with out this. Pea r sonsaid before the com mittee that ids object was political. The constitution says,; that tt»e district-' must be as nearly equal as may i>o That's the reason Mitchell was put in the Eighth, aud I deuou cc the asscr tio i to the contrary as n >t in accordance with tho facts Every instinct of old fashioned fairness forbids its going b ick to the Nimh district. By some hook or cr*ok these m* n have been bound by a caucus which had no right to bind th* m in a private matter of this kind. Mr. Ray made reference to the motives and oaths of the opposition. Mr. Ewart Said tne gentleman from Macon ought not to impute wrong motives, in which the Speaker agreed. Mr. Ray thought that Mr. E-vars wan raining this point to stir up prejudice and passion. Mr. Ewart: “Mr. Speaker, that is not true.” Mr. Ray: “1 accept his denial, but I believe it *is true all ihe same. Here in the middle of tho census you are going to redistrict the S ate when these dis triets are as nearly equal as may be —res tnese districts are now. Mr. Turner asked how were the Democrats on this bill ? Mr. Ray: “Some of them are in favor of this and that is where the re * port, that says they are ail against it, is not true.” Mr. Turner: “If the gen tlemen from Macon intends to impute a y insinuation that that report is not true, 1 hurl it back.” Mr. Turner From llurl-Back. Mr. Ray: “He says be hurls it back. I say again, and 1 stick to it, the report does not state the tru h or the facts — does that satisfy the gentleman from Mucbell? The gentleman from Cald vmH (Mr Nelson) is in favor of the charge and the Democrats m the E ghth Congressional dis'rict are in favor of it, and I hurl it b iek to the gentleman fr< m Mitchell as not true Now if th *t is not sa’isfactory to the gentlemen, let him state the facts. Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, maintained the truth of the report, and hurled it back ajraiu. Mr, Rav said Messrs. Winborn.e and Smith, of Gates, did not oppose the bid in cotarabt*e. Mr. Lusk said Mr. Bmttn didn’t vote at all. Mr. Ray: “Then how are you going to say that he opposed it when the fact show it is not true? I'll say this: I didn't know where Die gentleman from Mitch *•11 stood. I think lam sure he ha- t* *ld me since he has been here that he was opposed to the removal.” Mr Rjy was called to order by the Speaker a*s his ten minutes were ex baustod an the amendment, being two minutes over Mr. Ewart said (satirecally) that he did not propose to say anything about v(r R tv’s “courteous disclaimer” of i© fleet ion* upon his word but he would read rhe facts, Mr. Ray, (from his sea ) as sured Mr. Ewart go**d nature ly that he meant nothing “All right,” said Mr. Ewart. Mr Ewart said Mr Ray claim *>d that the Democrats wanted to make the districts as equal as may be and read the following figure-* of population; First district, 172.604; Sixth di-trict, 20? 680; E'ghth district, 190.784; Ninth district, 173.665; Third district, 160,288; Fourth district, 180,432. Mr Ray claimed that these figures did not represent the voting population, : *nd that he wa* not including babies and women in his figures (laughter), and that with Mitchell added, the 9th district would have nearly 3 000 more voters 'hau th** 8 h and now the Bth has only about 700 more than the 9th. Mr. Ray gave notice of some more amendments which he said they could not possibly Yota against, The vote w » put on the second amendment of Mr Ray. L st—Ay*» 3*;'noes 44 Voting «n Ray’s Vera* ity. Mr. Ray sent forward another amend ment. It was contended that Mr. Rav hid not given notice. The Speaker s id he would let the house dtciae whether or not Mr. Riy was correct in hi- belief, ard explained that he uotild not have put the vote but for the objection and meant no r* flection. T‘ vote was taken and Mr. Ray was sus aine 1 aud allowed toser.d up the amend tne ut providing that the vote should be taken by the qadi fted voters of Mitohell in time to allow them to be in the 9 h district by the next general election provided t!»«-* people of Mitct ell wanted it there. Mr Turner (in Irs sea ) “vote it down!'’ Mr Ray; “The gentleman from Mitchell is afraid to truf-t the people of his own county.” The aye and no vote was taken. Ayes 53; noes 50 Mr Htletnan was summoned from the lobby aud voted aye, the clerk explained to him at the d-sk that rhe “amendment was to leaw this matter to the vote of Mitchell county.” I t»*lieve, Mr. Fpeaker, I’ll vote aye on that. Mr. Turner was at the Speaker** stand urging Mr. liiletnau to vote no. Pearson Fairlv Whipped. Mr. Hileman said a few moments later that having been cailtd on suddenly “1 voted aye, but as 1 agreed iu the caucus to vote for this bill, I vote no.” Mr Cox chang' d from no to aye (ap plause) and later moved reconsideration, which Mr. Ray moved to tabic Mr. Ray arose to a point of order and asked that the special order (>• ght to be taken up. (Not, time said the Speaker.) Mr. Ray moved again to table which was lost by a vote of 45 to 51 The q mat ion was now upon r*consideration, aud Mr. Ray sain thi - looked like chit i’s play to do a thing and in two minutes recon sider. Mr. Lu-k said nowhere in American hi-tory could it be found ■ hat a vote had been submitted to a county to decide whethi rit should be in one district or another. Mr. Ray said Lu-k*s statement might be true, but in no State has a redistrict ing taken place exempt at the end of the cens s. Isn’t it right when we are re districting the State, for no other rea son than a political one, to submit the* matter to the people in the half way between tie* census of the 1890 aud the census ? Mr. Smith, of Gates, said a few days sgolhe gentleman f om Mitchell asked him if he was in favor of local self gov eminent, and he said ye-, and he was glad to give h m a p •actical illustration of it to-day. Pcars*n Saved to the People. Mr Turner, o f Mitch*ll, (Mr. Rav slid the gentleman didn’t give notice. Mr Turner said he did Mr Ray, lain unlike him. 1 believe all he says). Mr Turner said thepropo itiou was uniqti *, and urged the adoption of the motion. Mr. Bagwell said he voted against 'his amendment, and th«*y have carri* <1 if by -ome hook or crook, and he voted aie. The vote stood, ayes 58; noes 44. Tim vote came up aga n on Mr Bay’s amend ment Mi Lusk asked Mr R*y if his amendment wa- passed, would it tie con st i'utional ? Mr. Ray d d no? lear. Mr Lusk (explanatory of vote), reiterated what lie said on the last vote, and want ed to submit that in all candor, this mu*f b * unconstitutional, because we are leav ing to a county what should lie t* e limits of a district. This was a Democratic trick, for the purpose of smothering the Republicans ini the 9th Congressional district, and 1 appeal to all to vote for this bill. Mr. MoClararay sai l that the action of the Republican party was unparalled a to what they wanted to do. In the Scotland county ease they were willing to leave it to the people because then the Republican interests were at stak**, nnd now 'h y were against it because the Democratic interests were at stake. Mr. Linebaek: “Make a few excet tions in your Statement.” Ah, y e**, Brotl er Linebaek, ah yes, l yield to a question from Brother Lineb ck. (Laughter). “I vote no.” Unconstitutional, Says Monroo. Mr. Monroe (great confusion in the House and laughter over the announce ment of Met lammv’s vote) Mr Mon roe said that before the committee he wanted to v* te for the bill b-vaus • his friend, Mr. Nels-.u, ha l asked him to vote for it, >»ut M”. Linncy’s speech had decided him Mr. Monroe cit'd t?>e Constitution, against which he said this act on would be He w.ys thoroughly convinced that we had no const! utional right to do it, and thought we had a right to submit any question to the {am ple at any time, and theres- re voted no. Mr. Ray said Mr Lusk was appealing to tho Constitution, and was trying to make a bugaboo. Mr. Ray read the Constitution providing for calculations when redistricting was done. Have you made any calculations ? He thought it was utterly unconstitutional. Mr. White said that as the Democrat* had giveu the eighth district a much larger population than the ninth he pro i oaed to right that wrong. He said that one thousand men had signed petitions for it, ai d by leaving it to the vote the Democrats would fu-e with the Republi can minority and effect their purpose. The motion to reconsider was put with the following result: Ayes, 49; uoes, 41. On the bill Mr. Ray called th© ayes and iio-s aud asked to explain his vote. Bill passed. Aye-, 67; noes, 33. Mr. F ench moved to reconsider the vote by which that bill was passed and that that motion be tabled. Carried. (Laughter.) Mr. Ray said he would move to recon sider the vote by which that motion wa* tabled and would call it up on Monday. Mr. French submitted that after the action of the House the bill could be sent to the Senate auy time. (Speaker: the chair so under-tauds.)
