did not cndunger the existence, Of the

nations; suffrage intimidatei and sup-
pressed In the South; suffrage impure and
corrupt, apathctic and indidcrept In the
great cities OF the North-so mat II was
doubtful TO his mind whether for half
century there had been presidential
election In this country that expressed the
deliberate and intelligent Judgment Of the
American people.
The second evil TO which he had nyerted
was tho tyranny Of combined, eoncen-
trated, centralized, conscienccless and
Incorporated capital; and tho people were
considering that great problem now, In
the course Of long aud brilliant speech
he urged the passage OF the bill with the
free coinage amendment.
He was followed by Senator Jones Ia
favor OF the bill.
Finally tho discussion on Mr.. Stewards
amendment closed and tho Senate pro-
ceeded to vote on H. Agreed to- yeas ~
