sented to the judgment of the Ameri.
can people. If the Democratic party
had closed up its ranks and there was
to be a fair and manly contest be.
tween the two parties on this great
public question he would be de-
lighted, but he did not believe
that an issue would be presented.
Let the Democratic ranks be closed ;
let it's proposition to reduce taxation
be presented and the Republican par
ty would be found with its old ranks
unbroken ready t, accept the issue
and let it go to the people. But for the
Senator from West Virginia to assail
him for having expressed views OF ten
or twenty years ago which appeared to
be different from those he expressed
to-day, was rather a small hole to creep
out of. 1t was true that since the tariff
discussion of thirty years ago he (Sher-
man) might have
CHANGED Hfs MIND.
But if he had not done 80 under the
changed conditions and circum-
stances, he would not be worthy of a
seat in the Senate. 1t was on the bill
to repeal the internal revenue tax
Gin 1861 that he had made the re-
mark that the taxes most willingly
paid were those on spirits, beer and
tobacco. So they were then, so they
are to-day; but, within the last few
years, complaint had come, mainly
from the Southern States against the
tax on tobacco. 1t came from the
farmers, he needed it, he obeyed
and in 80 doing only die
what the Senators from Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee. NORTH
Carolina and Kentucky ough
to do. The Republican party
would join with the Democratic
party in reducing such taxation al
bore heavily on the people. but il
would preserve
THE SYSTEM OF PROTECTION
By tariff duties just 80 long as it wal
necessary to give Americans q fail
chance to the trade and commerce o
the country. The law referred to, il
regard to immigration under the con.
tract act, was passed in the midst o1
war, when 1000 900 northern men
were down south. It was a law inyit-
ing foreigners to help make good the
absence Of the brave Union soldiers
He would have voted then for any
kind of law to defeat the Democratic
party Of that day, but be, was snrs
that he soted for its repeal whenevei
that matter was presented. He CON
gratulated Congress that the country
is now to have q lair square and
manly issue presented on athe indGs'
trial question, q questioI which Ut
fected the life, property and inter.
ests of every citizen i question be-
tween the protected labor ia thil
country and the pauper labor q

Amid the applause which followed
the close of Sherman's remarks Sen
ator Regan arose aud briefly defend
ed the Democratic party from tn,
charge that it had presented no af
frmative tariff proposition during tel
years. The nation to defer the Presi
dents message then went over with
out action. -. ...... -

MORROW,s TRIAL.
TITS Defenders Successful I'm an
Important Argument.

TITS Defenders Successful In an
Important Argument.
SANTA Rosa, February 2.--Nothing
particular occurred during the third
days trial Of the, Morrow case to dis
tinguish it from the preceding days.
save an exhaustive argument as to
the admissit ility Of circumstantial
evidence and the evidence of an
alleged co-conspirator to prove the
existence of conspiracy. The prosecu-
ton contended that the testimony Of
M. Doane proved the existence Of a
conspiracy between McCord, Northey,
Doane and Morrow to corrupt the jury
in the right case. The argument
occurred over a question as to whether
Doane had been fined $500 for con-
tempt OF Court for attempting to bribe
a juror. The jury was excused dur
ing the discussion, and the same con-
tinued to the noon recess.
The defense did not contest the
validity of the admissibility of cir
cumstantial evidence, but contended
that such evidence could not be ad-
duced by the prosecution to show the
existence Of a conspiracy to bribe
Juror lien or Quirk. in the ind Ct
ment the defendant is only CHARGED
with being concerned in an attempt to
bribe Juror Woods, and not with an
attempt at bribery or being con-
spirator for the corruption Of any
juror except Woods.
The prosecution sought to prove
that Morrow had paid Doane's fine,
and the expenses of the trial, also
that the fines Of Northey and Creigh-
ton had been paid at the same time.
The court took the question under
advisement until the afternoon ses-
sion. The objection was sustained
and all the testimony concern
ing Creighton and Doane connected
in the bribery was not allowed
to be given under The ruling. In re-
marks made subsequent to the ruling
of the court the prosecution stated
that it was considerably hampered in
this trial of the, case. sr
NoTLuoy WHO WIS ufouSut up uOm
Jail refused to be sworn on the same
ground as stated Yesterday. He was
adjudged guilty Of contempt of court,
fined $500, and remanded to the Gus
tody Of the sheriff. The only wit
nesses examined were Watson, Bige-
low, Alderman, and Allen. The tes-
timony Of juror Allen was not ad:
mitted under the ruling of the court
At 3 o'clock the court adjourned at
the request of the prosecution who
had exhausted the list of witnesses
and did not expect the other wit
neeses-Judge Edmunds, and T.
Booth, to arrive from San Francisco::un-
til Friday morning. The defense asked
to have the defendant liberated, but
the prosecution objecting, the request
was denied.
