Senator Voorhees is always sure of a
large audience, no matter what the sub
j ject is that lie is announced to speak
upon, so that it is not to be wondered at
that the Senate galleries should itave been
packed to overllowiug to hour his speech
j on the resolution offered by him calling
; upon the department of justice for infor
| mation as to whether the U. S. Attorney
at Indianapolis acted under its instruc
| tious in protecting W. W. Dudley, author
: of the notorious " blocks of five" letter,
| from arrest, when lie was recently in In
| diana. He spoke of Dudley's crime as
j having inflicted an indelible stain on a
memorable election and impeached its
result. He said further that the fact of
the crime was open, universally known
and practically confessed, and yet by vig
ilance in obstructing the law, and in de
nying and preventing justice, the crime
lias thus far gone unpunished. The ben
rficiarv of a polluted ballot-box now m
high place had felt compelled to shield
lite corrupt instrument of that success,
and lie thought it was high time that the
most disgraceful and most alarming epi
sode in tlie Presidential campaign should
be fully understood by the whole people,
and that the proper degree of responsi
bility should be assigned to the instru
ment by whom it was perpetrated, and to
those who tried to hide Hie offense, lie
also spoke of Dudley's threatening Harri
son if I e was not protected, and closed
by saying that Mr. Harrison now had it in
his power to exonerate himself by dismis
sing tie corrupt U. S, District Attorney
who had ordered a U. S. Commissioner
not to issue a warrant for Dudley's arrest.
Tlie resolution wis amended by Senator
Edmunds and then adopted. Nothing is
expected of it however, as such orders if
given are not made matters of official
record.
Representative liynum. of Indiana, i
also after Dudley in the House. He lias
offered a resolution providing for the ap
pointment of a select committee with
power to send for persons and papers for
tue purpose of investigating the Congres
sional election, includine; the "blocks of
live " letter. Mr. liynum says lie nevei
intends to let up on Dudley until he sees
him where he belongs—in prison.
The World's Pair question will proh
ably soon be settled now. St. Louis and
Washington have been heard by the Sen.
ate Committee, and to-day will be de
voted to hearing arguments in favor of
Chicago and New York. In the House,
the Committee on Foreign Affairs which
has charge of the matter, has decided to
report a bill, leaving the site blank, to be
tilled by vote of the House. If no hitch
occurs the whole thing should be settled
before the first of February.
lobacco and silk growers and manu
facturers have been trying to impress
their views upon the House Committee on
Ways ami Means, and very d'verse views
they were too.
Representative Gannon, of Illinois, one
of the Republican members of the Com
mittee on Rules, refuses to sanction the
radical departure proposed by Speaker
Reed, and 110 rules have been as yet re
ported to the House, which remains com
pletely in 1 lie Speaker's power as long as
he can get a bare majority to sustain his
rulings, no matter how outrageous they
may he. This was fully demonstrated
this week when the Speaker ruled in favor
of taking up the District of Columbia up-
propriation bill. Mr. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, appealed from the ruling and
there was an all day fight, the Democrats
being ably led by Ex-Speaker Carlisle,
who made a strong speech in which lie
tried to shame the Republicans into re
specting the rights of the minority, hut it
was no use, they voted to sustain the
Speaker's 1 lei is >n. As long as things re
main as tnoy are now the Republicans
have every I their own way in the
House, and the only satisfaction the
Democrats nave 1 that they are setting
