The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1879-07-03

until tomorrow viii mako any difference.
Senator Windom-I would be very unwilling
to say that / think it would not make any dif-
ference, because the President has shown %
conclusively those appropriations ought to be
made that it would impute . disposition to
leave without making necessary appropriations.
(Derisive laughter on the Democratic side.)
BUNCoMBE.
Senator Windom-I will AK the consent of
tho Senate to introduce bill makins An appro-
priation of 100000 to pay the fees of United
States marsbals. and ask ita reference to the
committee on appropriations in order that they
may act ON it tomorrow, and it will require
only twenty-four hours to complete our busi-
ness.
Senator Eaton-We all heard the message
read and gave it due consideration. Soppose
my friend puts the bill on it's passage now.
Senator Windom-Upon that suggestion I
will offer it now.
Senator Eaton-Then we will have time to
adjourn before S o'clock.
Senator Window accordingly introduced \
bill which is the msrshals' appropriation bill
vetoed to-day, minus the political clauses.
Senator Houston suggested if Window de-
sired to fasten the responsibility for adjourn
ment, without making appropriations, upon
the democrats, the object would be attained ~
Window would withdraw his objection to its
consideration.
Senator Windom-I would be very glad to
yield to that proposition, but have too much
confidence in my Democratic friends here to
suppose they would refuse an appropriation.
But IT we shouli net on that proposition and
You pass it, n of course you will because you
don't propose to drag to this important branch
OF the government appropriations which the
President has just told us are 40 indispensable
when 20" had passed it and sent it to the
House the House could not pass it in time.
(Laughter.)
Senator Salisbury objected to the present
consideration of the bill, but soon after with
drew bis objection. The bill was read twice
and the question being on its third reading,
senator Eaton moved an amendment by adding
the political clauses" of the vetoed marshals'
appropriation bill, making the bill read ex-
actly tho same - tho ono vetoed to-day.
Senator Windom-It will be understood that
this ia precisely as if the Senate should refuse
to pass the bill. (Cries Of That's it exactly"
on the Democratic side).
Senator Beck-It will not hurt him to veto
it second time if it is handed in now.
Senator Eaton's amendment was agreed to,
yeas, 27; nays, 10.
Senator Eaton-I offered the amendment 80
that my honorable friend from Minnesota
might sleep we'll Tonight. He has spoken here
before with regard to what nights rest might
briug to his friends ON this side. Now the
senator understands and the Frenident of the
United States and the country understands the
position that the Democratic members of the
Senate occupy on the question. Further time,
in my judgment, would be unnecessary.
Therefore now move the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill as amended.
Senator Window rose amid cries of "Ques-
tion, question" on the Democratic side
Senator Windom-I hardly know how to take
the expression of the honorable Senator from
Connecticut, but presume he means to say
that under no circum- -tances will he and his
party friends vote for any appropriation for
the payment of marshals and their deputies
which does not contain this condition which
the President has vetoed, (criea Of Exactly"
That's it, etc. and understand it to be the
unanimous sentiment on that side
Senator Eaton-1 don't know. I hope 80.
Senator Wiudom-I shall vote against post
poning tho bill though should not vote for it
~ amended. Still hoping that our friends on
repentance, for while the lamp holds out to
burn
Senator Eatn (interruptiug)-"Th vilest
Republican may return. (LauRhter.)'
Senate! Maxey-My mind is made up to my
satisfaction. My time is up on the 4th Of
House may keep me here from now until that
time, but will always vote against that bill
passing until it bears the amendment by the
Senator from Connecticut.
Senator Ferry-That my vote may not be
misunderstood, state I shall vote against
postLonement, rot because the bill as amended
commends itself to my judgment, but, with
my friend from Minnesota, (Windom), hope
that with a nights rest the Senator from Con-
necticut, tomorrow morning, will make mo-
ton to reconsider this bill, and pass the bill as
originally introduced by the Senator from Min
nesota. The bill was indefinitely postponed,
yeas 81, nays II.
On'motion Of Senator Cockrell the Senate
went into executive session, and when the
doors reopened adjourned until tomorrow.
