That prince of stalwartism and the
champion of the exodus scheme, Senator
Window, of Minnesota, e0sayed the role
ofpatronizer in The senate yesterday, and
from loud mouthed braggodacia sank to a
whining beg for help. This man Window,
who has never lost an opportunity to draw
SMILES between democrats and all that is
vile aud vulgar, actually begged those
same vile democrats and even INDUCED in
patronizing fattery. It is a matter of
qualification to know that he was unsuc-
cessful and that democratic senators were
not eojoled into betrayal Of the duty they
owe to every true American. The follow
ing colloquy between Window and Eaton
is spicy and explains itself:
Mr.. Eaton asked consent to consider the
adjournment resolution, and Mr.. Window
objected.
Mr.. Eatou-L would like to ask the
senator if he really supposes that our
sitting here until tomorrow morning will
make any difference?
Mr.. Wiudom-I would be very unwilling
to say that think it would not make any
difference, because the president has
shown so conclusIvely that these appropri-
atoms ought TO be made that it would
impute a disposition to leave without
making the necessary appropriations.
lDerisYe laughter on the democratic
side.
Mr.. Eatou-We all heard the message
read and gave it due consideration. Sup
pose my friend puts the bill on its passage
now.
Mr.. Windom-Upon that suggestion ]
will offer it now
Mr.. Eaton-Then we will have time tC
adjourn before o'clock.
Mr., Window accordingly introduced the
Dill which is the marshaps appropriation
bill, vetoed to-day, minus the politica
clause.
Mr.. Windom--I would he very glad Il
yield to that proposition. l have too much
confidence In my democratic friends here
to suppose that they would refuse to MAKE
appropriations, but if we should act OF
that proposition, and you pass it, as Of
course you will, because you don't propose
to deny to this important branch Of thu
government the appropriations which thu
president has Just told us are so indispens
IDLE, when you had passed it and sent it G.
the house, the house could not pass it il
time. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Eaton moved to amend by addin,
the political clauses of the vetoed marshal
appropriation bill, making the bill exact
the same as the one vetoed to day
Me-. Windom-It will be understood
lat this is precisely as if the seuat
aid refuse to pass the bill. (Cries 0
3 it, exactly" on the Democrat
n sDeck-It will not hurt him to veto
~ second time if it is handed in now.
MT. Eaton's amendment was agreed t
yeas ~, nays q.
MIR. Eaton-I offered this amendnen
80 that my honorable friend from Min
nesota might sleep we'll tonight. He ha
spoken heretofore with regard 10 what
nights rest might bring to his friends o.
this side. Now the Senator understands
and the President OF the United State
and the country understand the position
that the Democratic members of th
Senate occupy on this question.
Mr.. Windom-W hich is to say tina
under no circumstances would the Senate
and his party friends vote for any appro
priation for the payment of Marshas AM
their deputies, which does not contain thi
condition, which the President has vetoed
Cries of ''Exaotly;" That's it," etc
and / understand it to be the unanimou
sentiment on that side.
Eaton-"I hope so.
WDdom-"Whil the lamp holds gu
to burn
Eaton (interrupliDg) the vilest republi
can may return" Laughter
Then the oily toDgued Ferry of Mich
gan, tried his hand. but it was useless, au,
the republicans looked aghast at eacI
other as they realized that the democrat
would not back down. Finally, the motion
OF Eaton to postpone indefinitely was car
ried This defeats the measure, and it i
hardly likely that Hayes will reconven,
congress, as it must be apparent even t
that fraud, that the democracy will max
no concessions. The lines are now drawn
The fiat has gone forth; and on this issu
no escape from the record and repub
cans, who have been boasting that in tn
end the democrats would recede from thei
position, are forced to conclude that tn
republican party has irretreviably blur
dered. The organs of the party, til
keener Of them at least, have been hedG
iDg for some time, and now will be force
TO defend and excuse their party maj
ayers, where it was intended to carry 0
an aggressive campaign against demt
