WASHINGTON, June 14.-(Senate). -
In the Senate to day Mr. PETER, CT. A.
Of Kansas, pes, ntcd petition from
Riley county, Kansas, asking that meas
urcs be taken towards the suppression of
lynch law. Mr. Peffer stated in connec-
tion with the petition that the resolu-
tons contained in it were very timely.
lie said lynching seemed to be prac
ticc in many parts of the country. MANY
II these people suspected of crime
were either hanged or shot to death. and
it was time for the American Congress
10 take some action in the matter. The
petition was referred. On motion of Mr.
Allison (rep.) of Iowa, the Senate agreed
20 insist on its amendments to
tie diplomatic and consular ap
preparation bill, and conference
committee was appointed. Mr.. Morrill,
rep) of Vermont gave notice that he
would address the Senate to morrow on
the silver question. Mr. Morgan (dem.)
of Alabama in accordance with notice
previously given, addressed the Senate
on Mr.. Stewards free coinage bill. He
stated that the silver plank of the repub-
lcan platform adopted at Minneapolis
was step to the front in placing silver
on plane with gold. This plank was
rluiyocal, but it seemed to cut loose
from the single gold standard of the
senator from Ohio. Many members of
tby &npata mo caiA hol ~
Minneapolis convention and whether
they could cling to the many principles
enumerated in the platform adopted
there remained to be seen. We had
the right to expect at Chicago this
month that silver be not only
made equal to gold, but that
it also be given the right of free
coinage. If it was suppressed at
any mans behest, that man would be
suppressed at their bidding. Mr. Morgan
proceeded to scoie Mr.. Sherman who
was present, for his assertion that he
tSherman) was bi-metallist, and he re-
peatcd his assertion of several DAYS AGO
that Mr. Sherman was responsible for
the financial condition of the country.
The Senator from Ohio seemed to look
forth to an international monetary con-
ference to get us out of the tolls in
which he had involved us. Three con-
fcrcnces Of this sort had been held but
none had been successful. The ratio of
gold and silver in the United States was
matter that concerned the people
ot this country alone and not
the people or governments of other
countries. We were criminal if we Weld
81 70 politicians and others the right to
Ieglslate so that our money metal could
be used in speculation against our far
mcrs and other producers. He believed
IAN international monetary conference
impracticable. During his remarks Mr..
Morgan did not fail Gas he has done on
several occasions lately) to make sly
hltat the various presidential candidates.
with whom he included among the dark
horses, the beaten horses, the handicap
ped horses, the spawned horses and the
colts. Ia conclusion, Mr. Morgan SAID
the people who must occupy the atti-
tude of the debt or class must have some
protection under the laws of the country.
and he called the attention of the people
Of the United States to it that they
would see that their representatives

The president pro TEN said the question
before the Senate was the amendment Of
the senator from Illinois, (Mr. Palmer
striking out all in that bill after the first
section, and in reference to this amend
mcnt Mr.. Palmer said he had heard
Ncssrs. Stewart and Morgan say that the
present ratio would itself establish the
parity between the two metals If that
were 50 then he was surprised that the
hlI was allowed to contain anything bu
tnc first section. He asked Mr.
stewart why it was necessary

Nlr, stewart asked Mr.. Palmer if ht
would vote for the bill if his (Mr
l'almcrs) amendment PREVAILED Mr.
'almcr said Mr.. Stewart was evadino
the question. The gentlemen from Ala
hama and Nevada had said that tn,
present ratio would, of itself, establish
the parity between the two metals. Wer
they sincere in their assertion. 1t wa
one thing to favor the free coinage 0
silver ut the present ratio; it was anOthe
thing for the United States to buy all tn
bullion rendered at the mints. A desul
tory debate ensued, during which Mr.
stewart said that silver was as much
credit money AS paper money, and tn
rcpudlation OF silver as money woul,
nrlng the country to bankruptcy. An
,wering Mr. Palmer's question, he sal,
that II he could pass the first section o
the bill, he would send JOY to every sec
ton Of the country The other section
were merely for convenience The frs
section restored to the people thei
