the matter in the house.
(Bu the Associated Pi ess.)
Washington, Sept. 16. —The House this
morning proceeded to consideration of Mr.
Ealoe’s resolution relative to Mr. Keunedy’s
speech. The resolution is as follows:
R , s) i re i That the clerk of the House of
Renresentatives be and he is hereby directed to
communicate to the Senate the fact that the
House reprobates and condemns the unparlia
mentary iaturuage of Hon. Robert P. Kennedy,
representative from the state of Ohio
™!hliahed In the Congressional Record
S Sept. 14, 1890, purporting
to he a speech delivered on the floor of the
House Sept 3, 1820, in which revised and
amended speech he repeats his impeachment
of the honesty ot senatots individually, and of
the Senate as a body.
The pending question was on the point of
order aguinst the resolution raised by Mr.
Grosvenor of Ohio.
keep’s decision.
The speaker, in rendering his decision,
n id that there could be no doubt that the
legislative proceedings of the two co-ordi
nate brandies of the legislature would be
very much impeded if improper reflections
were allowed by members of one body upon
members of the other. This was so plain,
so well established, that it
seemed unnecessary to say a word in
regard to it. It was founded on
that principle which caused members
of the House to speak of each
other by phase rather than by name.
It was’ intendod as far as pos
sible to keep personal feeling out of leg
islation ; and the chair was very glad, not
only for the advantage of the relations be
tween the House and Senate, but for the ad
vantage of the relations among the members
of the House, that this question should be
passed upon in such a manner as would make
an impression upon all. The chair therefore
overruled the point of order.
BAYNE MOVES A REFERENCE.
Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania offered a
resolution referring Mr. Enloe’s resolution,
together w[,h Mr. Kennedy’s speech, to the
committee on judicary, with instructions
to that committee to examine the speech
aud rules, and the practice regulating de
bate, and report its findings to the House
within three days.
The debate on the subject lasted over
two hours, and was participated in by
Messrs. Blount, Enloe, McMitlm, Candler
of Massaohusettes, Dalzell, Bayne, Cannon,
Hopkins, Breckinridge, Adams of Illinois,
Turner of Georgia and Holman. There
was some sharp sparring between Messrs.
Enloe, McMillin and Cannon, the two
democratic members having been brought
into the discussion of the occurrence of the
day, on which Mr. Cannon creared a sensa
tion when replying to Mr. Adoo, and
two other republican members exchanged
epithets and blows, aud Mr. Cannon re
sented their remarks.
ENLOE DEFEATED.
Finally Mr. Enloe demanded the previous
question upon his resolution, which was so
modified as to be an expression on the part
of the House that it “disapproves and con
demns’ Mr. Kennedy’s speech and directs
the public printer to expunge it from the
permanent Congressional Record. The
nouse refused, by a vote of 83 yeas to 114
Da T s ' bj order the previous question.
Mr. Bayne again offered bis resolution
referring the whole matter to the judiciary
committee. J
Tlie clause requiring the oommittee to

on a point of order raised by Mr. Enloe. 4|

OHIO’S REDIBTRIOTING.
Boothman Springs His Scheme to
Overooma the Gerrymander.
Washington, Sept. 16.—Representative
Boothman of Ohio to-day Introduced his ex
pected joint resolution to sot aside the re
districting of Ohio by the recent democratic
legislature, and to have the elections for
members of the next congress in the old
districts, which means seven more repub
lican members than can be elected in the
new districts. It is, however, too late in
this session to rush through such a steal as
this, and although an effort will probably
be made to put it through, it is quite certain
to fail.

Want it Called.
Washington, Sept. 16.—N0 stock what
ever was taken by the republican leaders
here in the extra session talk. They say
the President will not call one, as only two

the leaders are against it the probability of
an extra session is anything but favorable.

Chicago, Sept. 16. —One of the features
of the afternoon session of the world’s fair
commission was a speech by Commissioner
McDonald of California advooating, as he
said, the rights of the whole of America to
due recognition. Mr. McDonald had
introduced a report defining the
duties of the board of lady
managers, insisting that the subject be given
to the judiciary committee with instruc
tions to report not later than Thursday, fix
ing the duties and compensation of lady
managers. He asked for a vote in favor of
immediate action. It was adopted.
the rules.
The report of the committee on rules was
adopted, and tbe report of the committee
fixing the salaries of the executive commit
tee was clinched by a motion for reconsid
eration, which motion was promptly or
dered to lay on the table. The membership
of the executive committee and the fixing
of the salary of the director general are
subjects likely to occupy much of
the time to-morrow. Great intorest
is being taken in the make
up of the executive committee,as that body
apparently, to a very great extent, oontrols
the managers of the great exposition. The
director general will probably be chosen

Pitch—Reed’s Rule and the McKinley
and Lodge Bills Denounced.
Hartford, Conn., Sept. Id.— The demo

Ex-Senator Eaton was chairman. The fol
lowing ticket was nominated:
For Governor—L. B. Morris.
For Lieutentant Governor—Joseph W.
Alsopof Middletown.
For Secretary of State—J. J. Phelan of

For Treasurer—Marvin H. Sanger of Can
terbury.
For Comptroller—Nicholas Staub of New
Milford.
CnEERB FOR CLEVELAND.
Congressman Wilcox was temporary
chairman. In his address on taking the
chair he referred several times to ex-
President Cleveland. Six years ago, he
said, this parly selected as its candidate for
president one of the purest and ablest man
that ever occupied the white house, Grover
Cleveland. This mention of ex-President
Cleveland’s name called forth
great applause. The speaker con
tinued to speak in eulogistic terms
of the ex-President and was frequently in
terrupted by applause, which eas particu
larly vigorous when his tariff policy was
referred to. Though defeated, he said, he
is not dishonored, and the people look to
him as their champion arid leader. Further
on in his speech Mr. Wilcox said no one but
the President oould have made ex-Presi
dent Hayee’ administration respectable. He
closed by predicting democratic success in
Connecticut this fall.
the platform.
The platform says:
The Democratic party of Connecticut re
affirms its adherence to the platform adopted
by the national democratic convention of 1888,
and condemns the Republican party for its attl
tude upon the great questions affecting the wel
fare of the people as a revival of the most
odious doctrine, and of that federalism which
has ever sought to establish in this country an
aristocracy of wealth and despotism of legisla
tion.
We declare for such revision of the tariff as
shall admit crude material of manufacture free
and lighten the burden* upon the necessaries of
life. We charge the decline of over one-half in
farm values in Connecticut to the prevailing
republican tariff policy. We denounce the rad
ically unjust and panic breeding McKinley bill,
which will increase the cost of living and reduce
the cost of luxuries.
We accept James G. Blaine’s interpretation
of it as infamous.
We denounce the un-American and tyrannical
Solicy of Speaker Reed and the majority of the
louse, which deprives the House of its delib
erative character, arrogantly disregarding tbe
rights of tbe minority, and establishing a sys
tem of central power.
We denounce the federal elections, or force,
bill now pending in congress as the most dan
gerous and revolutionary measure ever devised
to thwart the will of the people and subvert our
popular form of government; a measure be
gotten in partisan desperation to perpetuate
the power of the Republican party. It is un -
American in that it doubts the capacity of our
peoplejtor self-government.
We declare for a i amendment to the state
constitution provioing for the election of all
state officers by plurality vote.
All unnecessary interference with personal
liberty, by sumptuary enactments, we oppose
as contrary to the spirit of our free institutions,
and we demaud that the county commissioners
b< elected by the people, and the present un
just. arbitrary, partisan and undemocratic
method of appointment be repealed.
We regard the secret ballot law enacted by
the last general assembly, ln response to the
repeated demands of the Democratic party, as
a step In the right direction, and we favor such
amendments thereto as will render compulsory
secrecy absolute for the suppression of bribery
and intimidation, and will prevent such at
tempted evasions of the same as were prac
ticed by high authority at the last election in
the city of Hartford.

FELTON LOSING HIS GRIP.
The Crowds Not Flocking to Hie
Standard as of Yore.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16.—Hon. Thomas
Lyons of Cartersville says the political
prophets declare that Dr. Felton will surely
be beaten from 500 to 800 votes in Bartow,
whore he has heretofore come out 1,000 to
1,200 votes ahead. Dr. Felton, they say,
is also doomed in Floyd county,
and is safe in but one county
in tbe district —Dade, the most
sparsely settled. One man informed the
Morning News correspondent that in his
district, where there were 200 voters, only
one man was for Dr. Felton. The towns are
mostly for Dr. Felton but the oountry has
gone back on him. The old man is evidently
losing his grip, for in Cartersville he spoke
on Saturday to only 800 men, when in
former campaigns, notably the one
against Col. Loster, he attracted
a crowd of 1,290 in the same place,
GORDON ON THE STUMP.
The Governor to Make a Canvass of
Several of the Counties.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16.—Gov. Gordon
is being literally flooded with letters from
all parts of the state asking him to come
and speak on the isSuos of the day. He has
agreed to speak on Friday at Fayetteville,
on Saturday in White county, next week
in Appling county, and then he
will speak in other portions of
the wire grass region. The tide that will
bear him to the Senate is rising higher and
higher, and will soon sweep Col. Livingston
and all other opponents out of sight. In
the language of au allianceman the alliance
is a mighty big thing in Georgia, but there
is one thing that is a good deal bigger, and
that is Gov. John B. Gordon.
KILLED THE WRONG MAN.
Emery Johnson Dloa from a Wound
Intended for Another.
Rome, Ga.. Sept. 16. Emery Johnson,
who was shot last Saturday by Wade
Smith (colored), died to-day of his wounds.
Smith fired at a man who insulted his wife,
but missed him and killed Johnson. The
ooroner’s jury returned a verdict of invol
untary manslaughter.
SENATOR GEORGE ON SUFFRAGE!
A Speech that May Decide the Action
of the Convention.
Jackson, Miss., Sept 16i—The event of
the day in the constitutional convention woe
the speech of Senator George. Predictions
are free to-night that his speech so in
fluenced the convention as to cause the suf
frage report to be adopted by a majority of
thirty. In the course of bis remarks the
senator denounced as untrue the reports
that the elections in Mississippi since 1875
had been carried by force and fraud. He
admitted that there were cases of that de
scription here and there brought about by
peculiar circumstances, but tneso were only
exceptions to the general rule of fair aud
peaceable elections.
rights of the negro.
He further declared that he conceded to
the negro the same right to life and liberty
and property that the white mnn enjoys,
but ho denied that the negro bad a right to
destroy the civilization of Mississippi, aud
that right ho was unwilling to acoord him.
The speaker then reviewed the committee
report on suffrage section by section, and
closed by appealing to tho convention to
save Mississippi, to rise above local or per
sonal prejudices, and consider the question
presented in a spirit of patriotism.
THE DORTCH LAW DENOUNCED.
The next speaker, Mr. Ford, a delegate
from the state at large, oprosod the Dortch
law and all property qualification.
Gen, W. T. Martin of Adams county
made a fierce attack upon the committee re
port, denouncing it as a makeshift and only
of temporary benefit. He favored both an
educational and property qualification as
the only efficient remedy for the suffrage
evil complained of, and characterized all
milder measures as the outcome of moral
cowardice.
