Political Purposes.
END OF THE TARIFF DEBATE.

last day of the tariff debate and q memoir
able occasion 1t was. AS early IS 9 O'Clock |
the people began to flock to the capitol |
in crowds, and by IL the Galleries were
packed. The two leaders OF the respec-
tive parties held the attention of the
house ana its spectators for five hours.
The Presidents gallery and the diplo-
matte gallery were both filed. Many
Senators were on the floor and the ladies
were also sprinkled here and there behind
the bar OF the house, attired in gay
spring raiments making the scene most
picturesque. Bouquets and flowers in 8
variety OF shapes were placed upon the
desks Of Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Reed. The
interest in the occasion was intense.
After Mr.. Baker znd Mr.. Breckenridge
had their little tilt Mr.. Reed arose. The
attention Of the VAST audience WAS con-
centrsted upon him. He drew picture
CT what would result from the enactment
of such legislation as that proposed by
the Demo crsts, and he charged thst party
with being afrSid to rally round
ANY DEFINITE POLICY
and wanted to know why in the absence
Of any positive convictions Of their own
the President. With style peculiarly his
own, Mr.. Reed poured forth volley after
volIey of sarcastic invectives and closed
his speech with siIuile which fairly
made the audience rise in their seats,
arrsigniog the Democratic party for calls
ing protection robbery. Mr.. Reed fin
ished his speech at 2 O'Clock and was
greeted with shouts of applause.
AS Speaker Carlisle rose to reply
storm of enthusiasm greeted him. He
said that II protection was wrong, then 8
tarif for revenue was wrong, and we
should advocate
ABSOLUTE FREE TRADE.
"I might remark" said Mr.. Carlisle,
"that il protection was right then abso
lutte protection should exist, Chinese |
wall should be built around this country |
if protection WAS carried to its end in
China" He then referred to the surplus,
every dollar Of which, he said, had been |
wrurg from the working men. There |
was no financial condition so dangerous |
to the country as the present one. Its |
inevitable effsct was to encourage waste. |
He stated that no monsrchisl power |
would tex its subjects to the extent of |
S136, 900, 900 more than the needs Of the |
government.
At the conclusion of Speaker Csrlisle's
speech, he was the recipient OF pro- |
lor ged applause and every one Of his col
leagues near him grasped his hand |
warmly.
Thus ended the tariff debate which
will be long remembered in the annals Of |
history. What next2 is the question |
asked on every side, and within the next
four weeks final answer will probably |
be given.

INA QUANDARY.
Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The question
still uppermost in the minds Of leading
Republican members Of the House is the
proposition made by Chairman Mills to
take up the tariff bill for q direct vote
immediately upon the conclusion OF the
general debate. A careful CANVASS OF the
Republicans shows an inclination to &C.
cept the proposition and submit a, substi-
tute bill which shall first be voted upon.
The party is BY no means harmonious on
these questions, and it is this very lack of
unanimity that has thus fsr delayed Its
determination. ms orit7 Of the party
| is prepared 70 accept The proposition st
once. Messrs. Reed, Mckinley and
| other members of the ways and
| means committee favor it, believing
there is more to be gained by facing the
direct issue this time than by delaying
action until six weeks or more shall have
been spent In the five minutes debate.
TO MAKE CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
| The radical Senator Chandler from
New Hampshire is anxious to have CAM
psign material prepared, and az only
about three months remsin before the
political fight begins, he thinks 1t time to
begin. He referred to the fact in the
caucus yesterday, that it was now two
years since the investigation OF the
alleged suppression Of col0red voters and
the alleged murder OF several colored
men occurred In Washington county,
Texae, and yet no report had been made.
