dttcuu lIS respective conventions. l
claim, and think fairly, that until mem
bers on this side have had time it is
violation Of the agreement, unanimously
entered into, to take a vote Mr. Morgan
said he remembered very distictly what
that agreement was. 1t simply provided
that no vote should be taken on the sill
yer bill before the 18th of June and this
was the only agreement entered into"
Mr.. Harris (dem) of Tennessee, said
that no matter what agreement
had been entered into before the
two conventions, that time had passed:
the conventions were over and the Sen
ate was engaged in its ordinary business.
He suggested to the Senator from New
Jersey that the only practical way in his
reach to accomplish his object, and at
| the same tilae to preserve the traditions
OF the Senate, was to ask the unanimous
consent of the Senate for postpone
ment to such day and such hour as
would meet his convenience. Mr..
Morgan replied that the Senator from
New Jersey had made no proposition of
this kind, nor had he intimated desire
to do SO. He had simply asserted
right upon an agreement or rather upon
pretext (Which was not true, according
to the record) to break through an agree
ment of the Senate, and it was in de
fense of the Senate as we'll as OF this bill
that he (Mr. Morgan) took the floor. He
was satisfied the bill would pass the Sen
ate and would also go through the House
if it could be sent there. And he would
extremely regret to hear any Senator de
clare he had authority of the President
to declare that he had so far forgotten
the prOprieties of the executive office and
the comfy between the legislative and
executive bodies as to decide in advance
his intention to vetoing the bill. Mr.
Allison interrupted the debate to state
that up to the present moment not one
of the great annual appropriation bills
had received the approval of the Prcsi-
? dent. He asked the Senate to adopt the
House Joint resolution continuing the
existing appropriations for fifteen days.
! This was done.
f The chairman said the pending ques-
ton was on Mr.. Dolph's motion to re-
} commit the bill to the committee OF
finance. Mr.. Warren (rep.) of Idaho, {
t friend of the bill, offered further
: amendment to Mr.. Stewards pending
I bill which, as it will now come up fol-
5 action by the Senate at 2 o'clock to-
e morrow, will read as follows: "Tha
