that if the Senate undertook the in
quiry il would only land the Senate in
ipterminsblo confusion.
Mir. Sherman next spoke (Mr. Seweli
occupying the chair. lie rose, ne SAID,
10 perform the most disagreeable duty
Of bis life. During all the time he had
been in this body he had never had oc-
casion to bring before the Senate the
politics Of Ohio as distinguished from
national politics. In performing what
be regarded as a public duty to the peo-
pie Of Ohio, and particularly to the
Republican people Of Ohio, he
would do it in no spirit Of
unkindness TO his colleague. lie had
known him, or had known OF him,
since be bad arrived at the age Of man
hood. lie had always known him as a
respected and honored citizen Of Cleye-
land, regarded we'll by his neighbors,
and he was glad to say that in this in
vestigation and in performing this duty
he should not have occasion to arraigu
bis colleague in the slightest degree.
lie believed thst tby common con-
SEMI The evidence showed that what
ever corruption had occurred in the
process Of election, no knowledge Of
such corruption was brought to his COL
league. lie believed alSo-sincerely
belleyed-that if the investigation were
granted his colleagues honor would not
be touched by the testimony that would
be produced. lie wished to sag, also,
to the Senators from Illinois, New
York, and Colorado (Messrs. Logan,
Eyarts, and Teller that he had no
sympathy whatever with the criti-
cisms made upon those honor
cd Senator's. He did not think
chat any OF the newspaper extracts
read By Mr.. Logan yesterday showed
any reflection on thoir motives. As a
matter of course the newspapers were
rude and rough in their language about
public men, but if anybody expected
better treatment from the newspapers
he would have to live in an age ye: far
remote. II was the history of politics
that every man in public life must be
arrsigDed by newspapers. If his
hcnored friend from Illinois were
not so universally cOmbatiye he would
have found that it would be better not to
combat newspapers, because he b as not
the opportunity Of replying to them.
Mr. Sherman then proceeded to review
the case at length and to argue that
enough had been presented TO the Senate
70 warrant the inquiry recommended
by Messrs. Frye and Hoar. Dir. Sher-
man was frequently interrupted by Mir.
Logan, and running debate between
these gentlemen occurred over various
pOintslnyolyed.
Mr.. Sherman, in conclusion, said ::
"Any view that can take OF It, | be-
leve that it is the duty Of the Senate
Of the United States, as il regards its
own honor ard the future Of our coun-
try, not to leave this matter in its
present condition, to Be believed by
some and disbelleved by Others TO be
made the subject Of party contest and
party chicanery, but that you should
have q fair and judicial investigation
into the merits Of the accusation. II
the charges are false stamp them down
with the brand of ignominy. Ii they
are true deal with the facts proven
as you shall think Just and right"
Dir. Eustis, as a member Of the Sen
ate committee signing the majority re-
port, felt it incumbent on him to say
few words in support of that report.
Mir. Frye was the last speaker. At
the conclusion of his remarks some time
was spent in an attempt to arrange for
the close of the debate and for the taking
of vote. Finally it was arranged that
q vote should be taken at 2 O'Clock to-
morrow, the closing speech to be made
BY Mr. Evarts. The Senate then, ct
6:30 o'clock, adjourned.
House OF Representatives,
Mr. Hatch, from the Committee on
Agriculture, reported back, as a matter
Of privilege, the oleOmargarine bill with
the Senate amendments.
Mr.. Herbert, Of Alabama, rose to call
up the special order ltho nayal-increase
bill, when Mr.. Hiscock, rising to
parliamentary inquiry, asked whether,
il the House refused to consider the
special order, the call Of committees
would thea be in order. The Speaker
replied il would. MessTs. Hiscock aad
batch thereupon raised the question Of
consideration, and Mr. Herbert, fearing
that the trends Of the Oleomargarine
bill worll unite and vote against him,
withdrew his bin for the present, and
the Speaker proceeded to call the com.
mittees for reports.
After other reports had been made
Dir. Herbert again called up the special
order.
Mr.. Hatch again raised the question
Of consideration, desiring to move to 90
into Committee of the Whole for the
consideration of the oleomargarine bill.
The House refused to consider the
na7y-increase bill, and Immediately Mr..
Reagan, of Texas, called up as q priv
legged matter the interstate commerce
bill, and against this also Mr.. Hatch
raised question of consideration. The
interstate commerce bill met with the
same fate as the naval bill, the House
rcfusing-yeas 100, nays l5l-tO con-
slider It.
The House then went into Committee
o. the Whole on revenue bills, the OBJ
iect being 10 reach the oleOmsrgariue
bill. Tie Grst bill Of this character on
the calendar was the Morrison tlrilf
bill, and az. Morrison asked that it be
laid aside
Mr.. Durham objected, and the OBJ
lection having been reported to the
House, the Speaker announced the
question to be on laying the bill aside.
This wss agreed tO-yeas l67, nays 90.
Tho next revenue bill reached was
that giving notice Of the Hawaiian
treaty.
Mr. Hatch asked that it be laid
Ssiuc, and, after demanding its reading,
Nj. Durham objected, and the objection
was reported to the House. The bill
was laid sslde--Jeas 1855, nays Co
and once more the committee resumed
