He has never had a doubt that the counting of a quorum would eventually become one of the fixed rules of the house, no matter which party is in power. If he felt any surprise at all at the action of the democratic caucus in directing the committee on rules to prepare a rule providing for the counting of members present and not voting, in order to make a quorum, it was not because the caucus had come around to his ideas but because as many as 40 democrats should have voted against the proposition. While the Republican members of the House are there row Believers in the principle of counting a quorum it is not yet certain that they will support the row reported by the committee on rules, or that they will vote at all to help the Democrats get a quorum to adopt it. The principal reason for this uncertainty is that the caucus resolution also directed the committee to report a rule to compel the attendance of absent members. It will depend upon how the Democrats intend to accomplish the proposed reforms what position the Republicans will take. Another Democratic senator has placed himself in the doubtful column. Senator Smith of New Jersey, in his speech on the Tariff bill, which Senator Quay correctly called a “ measure of mingled malice, compromise and sectionalism,” renewed the cold shivers which Senator Hill Cent up and down the spines of the free Traders last week. It has been agreed that the debate on the bill as a whole shall end next Monday. Then the contest over the individual schedules will begin and the fighting Bill be forced by the Republicans from the 1st to the last. The Democratic managers of the bill are in doubt as to the status of at least six Democratic senators, not to mention the successor to the late Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who died here Saturday night.

For instance, Senator Gray, chairman of the committee, ls known as chief ol the Senate "cuckoos," and a man who would do more for the administration than any other Senator while Senator Lindsay, the other democratic member of the committee, is in addition to being a cuckoo known as Carlisle's man. The significance of these selections will not be underrated when it is remembered that Secretary Carlisle, representing Mr. Cleveland, has been from the first to the last mixed up in all the dealings between the democratic Senators and the sugar trust. Senator Mills, of Texas has publicly stated that Secretary Carlisle gave the President of the Sugar trust a letter introduction to him and that he refused to see him when he called to present it. The democratic ask credit for being fair because Senator Allen of Nebraska was put upon the committee, but they do not deserve it, as Allen has voted with the democrats on all political questions and is regarded as a democrat, although he calls himself a populist. It is clear that if anything is shown up by this committee it will be through the energy of two Republican members-Lodge Massachusetts and Davis of Minnesota. But nothing can be shown unless witnesses choose to tell what they know, the Supreme court having decided some years ago that a Congressional committee could compel them either to testify or produce books dealing with a citizens private affairs.

M., at Judge Waddill's office in Shafer Building upon the call of the chairman, who explained that he had done so at the request of Judge Waddill and Mr. Wray T. Knight. Present were: Hon. J. W. Southward, (chairman); John Mitchell, Jr., (secretary); Major Joseph Walker, Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr.; and Mr. Wray T. Knight. Judge Waddill explained that he had asked for the meeting of the committee for the purpose of issuing an address the voters of the District and to refer to the trouble in Richmond City. He thought the voters should know where the District committee stood in the matter. He was of the opinion at the attempt to remove Chairman Allan should be condemned. He then drew from his pocket an address which he had written and had submitted to no one, not even the chairman, Mr. Southward having seen it. This address contained a conderanation of Col. Lamb Major Joseph Walker objected to the condemnation of the state chairman. He counselled harmony, and did not care to do anything which would foment strife. He did not agree with the state Executive Committee in its action and desired that the District Committee should express their opinion. He was in favor of asking the State Executive Committee to reconsider its action in removing Mr. Allan from the chairmanship. Mr. Knight was of the opinion that he address was not too strong. Judge Waddill said he thought they were too mild. If he had expressed his opinion, the address would have been bitter. He characterized Chairman Lamb as having exceeded his authority and been the victim of his own vanity. The address was read in detail, it being decided that if there be any objection to any of the statements, it would be stated. Discussion continued until 9 p. m., when Major Walker stated that he would like to hear from Mr. Mitchell in the interest of harmony. In the meantime that part of the address censuring Col. Lamb was withdrawn and Major Walker decided not to offer the resolutions, asking that the State Executive Committee reconsider its action in removing Gen. Allen as chairman of the City Committee. Alderman John Mitchell. Jr., stated that he opposed the address because he did not believe that it should contain any expression of opinion with reference to the trouble in Richmond. He read the party law vesting all power in the State Executive Committee to settle party disputes and that until the State Committee acted otherwise the action was final. He insisted that no official information had reached the District Committee with reference to the Richmond chairmanship and the subject was therefore not properly before the Committee. The proper course to pursue was to communicate with the State Executive Committee and ascertain whether or not Gen. Allen had been removed and ascertain the cause. To act otherwise would be to cause the committee to pass upon a controversy without having heard the statements of either side. Judge Waddill went to the door and stated that Gen. Allen had just arrived from Washington and that he would come in. He did so and said he had nothing to communicate to the committee. He did not regard himself as removed, only an assistant chairman had been appointed by the State Executive Committee. Mr. Mitchell then claimed that this established his contention; namely that there was no official information before the committee relative to the Richmond chairmanship. The committee had nothing to do with the matter and should not express an opinion as to the merits of the case. He claimed that the District Committee could not review the action of the State Executive Committee inasmuch as the latter was a higher committee than the former. The subordinate could not properly pass upon or review the act of its superior. This was as true in state as well as party law. Seeing the other side determined to press the adoption of the address he went into the merits of the case, explained how Gen. Allan had ousted every precinct chairman in Richmond and appointed only those in favor of himself. Major Walker said he did not approve of this and thought that the other side should have been accorded recognition. Gen. Edgar Allan had left the room upon the advice of Judge Waddill, in order that Mr. Mitchell should not continue to ask him questions and thereby prolong the meeting. Mr. Mitchell said he was anxious to attend another meeting. Judge Maddill said he wanted supper. At about 10:30 P. M., Major Walker said he'd have to catch the last car going to Manchester and would have to leave. Mr. Southward wanted to take the car to Fulton so that he could walk to his home in Henrico County. Mr. Mitchell had been talking two hours. Again and again they arose to points of order on him, but he showed to the chair that he was discussing the address and was in order. He declared that where the minority was outvoted and the majority would not listen to reason but intended to adopt the address any way as declared by Mr. Knight, it had the right of protest, and he was exercising it. He showed how Judge Waddill had been defeated for the position held by Col. Lamb. He spoke of the newspaper articles against the State Chairman. He explained the forbearance of Col. Lamb, declared that the kicking gentlemen had been airing themselves in Democratic newspapers. Judge Waddill went in the adjoining office, threw himself down on the sofa after closing the door, and Mitchell talked. He came back, sat down, declared he would stand no more, but would have this thing stopped. Mr. Mitchell coolly enquired of him as to how he could stop him. Did he intend to exercise personal right to dictate in his own office? Did he intend to insult a member of the committee in his own office? For one hour he had waited for him (Waddill) to go to the train, and had listened to the discussion of them all without saying a word for another hour. Had he have known that such trouble would occur he would have offered the committee the use of his (Mitchell’s) office where he could say anything he pleased even up to condemning him (Mitchell). The speaker then proceeded to discuss party law. He showed where he was in order. It was 12:15 a. m. when he began his peroration and 12:30 a. m. when he finished it. The chairman was stretched out in full length on the sofa, while the Alderman (Mitchell) discussed the merits of Col. Lamb and told Judge Waddill and members of the committee of his many virtues. A more woe-begone body of gentlemen were never seen as they listened to the utterances of the speaker. At the close, Alderman Mitchell was good for three hours longer. He had spoken three and one half hours, being on his feet for that length of time. At the beginning Messrs. N. J. Smith, Jno S. Bethel, J. S. McLaughlin and others were present but they disappeared one by one. Squire H. F. Jonathan, a friend of Mr. Mitchell called and sat but he left at 11:16 p. m., until only four remained tired, sleepy, and hungry, yet in a predicament which was pitiful and amusing. Chairman Southward at one time dared that if the member would stop the talking, he would pledge him to move to adjourn but Mr. Mitchell was unwilling. At the close, the address was adopted by a vote of vote of 4 to 1. It was understood that it would be submitted Mr. Mitchell, but it was not done but on the contrary it was given to the public with a line inserted reflecting upon the state executive committee which was not in the original at the time it was passed. At 12:10 a. m., the meeting adjourned. Location Upper Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Student Name Nathan Lyell Summary The Planet draws attention to how the Constitutional Convention of Virginia defies the provisions of the act of Congress through its restrictions to voting and overall changes to the Constitution of Virginia. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19010720.1.4&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Government and Politics Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The Constitutional Convention has proclaimed itself a revolutionary body, by its failure to take the oath of office. But aside from this the Committee on Suffrage has had a problem to solve which would not only tend to embarrass but would practically paralyze any right-thinking man, who reads the provisions of the act of Congress, admitting Virginia into the union. It is as follows: “That the State of Virginia is admitted to representation in Congress as one of the States of Union, upon the following fundamental conditions: First, that the Constitution of Virginia shall never be so amended or changed so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizen of the United States the right to vote who are entitled to vote by the Constitution herein recognized, except as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof they shall have been duly convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of said state: provided that any alteration of said Constitution, prospective in its effects, may be made in regard to the time and place of residence of voters. Second: that it shall never be lawful for the said State to deprive any citizen of the United States on account of his race, color, or previous condition of servitude, of the right to hold office under the Constitution and laws of said State, or upon any such ground to require him any other qualifications for office than such as are required of all other citizens. Third: that the Constitution of Virginia shall never be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the school rights and privileges secured by the Constitution of said State.” If you have read that act once, read it again and ask yourself how any convention of honorable men can ignore these iron-clad conditions. This brings us back to the constitution itself and explains why the present instrument provided only for its amendment and revision. And yet there are white men who speak of disfranchising the Negro, just as though he was an alien, and not a citizen. It also makes a talk about the separation of the school funds, mere nonsense in the face of the proper interpretation of the act of Congress. Colored men, it seems that the Negro-haters are having a hard road to travel and that our rights under the law will yet be successfully maintained. Let us take courage.

Student Name Cali Hughes Summary A black Virginian argues against the whipping post bill in the context of the Commonwealth of Virginia and its history. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18980115&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Government and Politics Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Baltimore, MD, Jan. 11th, 1898. It is the custom of the times to approve according to the Standard laid down upon the judgement is predicted. It is difficult to pass judgment upon anything without an acute or partial knowledge thereof. I am one of those who have from boyhood days studied the various phases of Virginia, the state in which I first saw the light and where I spent the early part of my life, and where I first received inspiration of what I expected to make myself in this life. I have an untiring and never ceasing interest in the mother state. I am quick to resent unreasonable and unfair attacks made upon her by those who make it appear that she is receding from her former high standing among other states. I have even made enemies of some of my staunchest friends on account of my persistent defense of that grand old commonwealth. All of this is simply the result of that inborn feeling which every loyal Virginian has for his old home. With such feeling it is certainly painful to observe the backward steps which she seems to be making just about now. History has informed me of her wonderful natural resources, observation and experience of the facilities with she has to use them. Her people are the noblest, grandest, and the most hospitable found in any state in the Union. She is well supplied in fertile acres found in her one hundred counties. She is rich in coal and minerals, she has fine soil for the best grades of tobacco, has valuable water mains, in which are found excellent bottoms for the culture of oysters, and yet she seems to be on the decline, if not she is surely standing still, for we fail to observe any progress. The people of this magnificent state over fifteen years ago, saw the error into which they had fallen by the inauguration of the lash as a penalty for petty offences. The conservative press of the state, being ably seconded by the best brain and people, commenced a crusade against this inhuman and barbarous practice. It could not stand the strength of its opponents, and finally was scratched off the statute books much to the credit of the state. But again, we hear the sound, which has found its way into the Legislature, in which is espousing the cause of the degrading institution (the whipping post_ which almost disgraced the fair name of the state during its former existence. The sound is the result of a few scattering things know as brain (?) at work in the cranium of one who is dignified by the term legislator. This object of curiosity, (for surely he is) actuated by prejudice has introduced a bill in the legislature to re-establish the whipping-post; and is fathering it along under the disguise of ‘State Economy’ so as to shield its real purpose. It is carried before a committee composed of intelligent (?) men and is favorably recommended. It may meet its doom in that conundrum, but that is hardly probable. This is not all. The present election law of the state is honestly a disgrace. It hasn’t even the resemblance of justice. There is nothing more shameful to observe than an election in Virginia. A good election law is one for the pressing demands of the state in order for it to keep pace with progress and other enterprising states. The expenses attending the administration of justice are entirely too large. In fact, the whole judiciary system could be reformed with credit and profit to the state. Take the state on the whole she is in a pretty bad condition. The taxes are the worse ever heard of. With a poor set of legislators, and a governor clinging to the theories of Bryan, no good is anticipated from that source. But the body politic (the people) are the owners of the state and as such holds the key to the situation. We suggest that they should rise en masse and call for a Constitutional Convention in which the many evils which defect the state could be remedied. Some think that they are not remediable, but I hold the opposite opinion. Let the good people do their duty and the evils complained of will soon disappear. John E. Board.

It was controlled by Negro-haters and men who had upon their persons the political accoutrements and principles of the Democratic Party from which they came. It was proper therefore for these Republicans to emphasize their protests by the election of contesting delegates to Chicago, where the great Republican Party of the nation can decide the issues between them. The platform adopted is a wise exposition of Republican principles and states the position of the party in this state clearly. It does not matter materially what the outcome of the protest will be. It will make the “lily white” contingent squirm in their seats, even at the prospect of having their actions reviewed by the party management at Chicago. Here is the platform as adopted: “The Republicans of Virginia, in mass convention assembled, this 14th day of May, 1908, in the city of Richmond, Va. do reaffirm their allegiance to the National Republican Party that has made such enduring history, achieved so many victories in the commercial and industrial fields, and has gained such peace and prosperity for this, our native land, during the last forty years...
