Special TO the Indiapapo Journal
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Enconraged By
the vote yesterday by which the Senate re-
fused to refer his silver resolutions, Mr..
Morgan to-day melted Mr.. Stewart. of
Nevada, to move to proceed to the consid-
Grafton of his free coinage bill. This mo-
tion, in q Senate barely two-thIrds full
some Senators avoiding vote aud others
being peIred-was carried. nine Repub-
licans, seventeen Democrats and two Farm
ers' Alliance men voting In its favor. The
Senate has now apparently entered upon q
limitless debate of silver Tree coinage.
Senator Hill again lodged the free-coin-
age question. He sat in his seat and heard
oil the speaking. When the vote was
about to be taken he got MP and deliber-
ately walked off the floor of the chambe
and strolled in the corridors within few
feet of his seat. He laughed at those who
asked him to vote. He Is determined he
will deceive his party and will not go on
record on the silver issue. His action Is
generally condemned by Democrats.
When the Senate convened to-day Mr..
Morgan resumed his argument on the reso-
lutions that provoked Senator sherman
yesterday. Mr.. Morgan denied that his
object was to iniluence political conven-
tions. He wanted legislation; and. hope
who indicated their position yesterday BY
their votes against referring the reso luton
would adhere steadily and courageously to
their convictions. his Judgment was that:
question would have passed entirely
out of consideration and the people
would have their way. Coming again to

would not know, In the event of Grover
Cleveland being at the head OF their ticket
and of the Senator from Ohio being at the
head of the other ticket, which to prefer In
