circulated that a number OF the senators
were drunk the night the silver bill
passed. He says:
The stories published representing that
there was a good deal of intoxication on
the part OF the senators during the recent
all.night session are q gross exaggeration
of the actual facts; and the statement
that three senators, or even one senator,
was d~isgraceiully drunk, is an absolute
fiction. 1t was an especially exhaustiug
session, no one being able to sleep, as no
one could forsee when be would be called

just as other people would have done
under like circumstances. But the order,
