Mr. SARGENT (Rep. Call said he knew there was
much committee work to do and the public business
might be expedited by such adjournment, but he felt II
to his duty TO oppose the notion as he desired 10 nave
the resolution submitted by him this morning, In regard
IN allowing advocates Of the Sixteenth Amendment to
present their arguments before the Senate considered
Mr. THURMAN Dem. Ohio spoke in opposition "a
opening the Senate Chamber to them and said should
the senate break the rule there would DE no emu OF
breaking it, No Senator would think Of admitting q
Relocation Of men to the chamber II was proposed 10
break tie rule because the applicants were ladies'
He for one whether DC popular or unpopular must SCI
his face against il. A.,
Tire debate being continued by unanimous consent, Mr.
HOAR (Rep Mass) favored the admission OF the LADIES
10 plead their cause They now unrepresented III
Congress. We had been on this planet 5000 ycars
or more and there had been more fraud more tlckey
in the science Of government than III anything else

HOar and his coleage Mr Dawes represented all inc
people OF that Commonwealth. II was new ldea thal
lady represented except those who had the rgh
10 The Idea had been conveyed that the ladies
making this application TO he heard by
the Senate represented the women Of the United
States he denied that they represented one-twenueth
onehundred part Of the women Of the United states
Undoubtedly they very worthy women but one Ol
them sad in the convention al Lincoln Hall that they IN
tended the Senate by God may be they would
but would be long after of the old foges were out
OF the chamber Laughter He did not wish to be I'M
destOOd wanting in respect for these ladies' but h'
free confess that the who sat at her fire
side and took o; her children rather more re
spectacle, his mind than the woman who threatened
" the Senate by God II for the States 10 dc
clare who should rule in the States let them begin with
Massachusetts,.
