Mr.. HART ANSWERS woLcorr.
Wolcott's speech was answered by
Mr.. @. B. Hart, OF West Virginia, who
said that he came from Southern
state, and yet he was not an otfice-
holder. He came from tho state OF
West Virginia which had given Cleve.
land but OOmajority in 1888. and would
70 Republican In 1892. To him II was
difficnltao conceive how the five Of the
minority should have more wisdom
than % af the majority.
The greatest interest was manifested
when Colonel ii. NJ. Dnttield, ot De
troit, the Alger manager, arose TO speak
in favor OF the minority report
His action was interpreted as
meaning that the Alger people were
prepared to vote with the Blaine
people in the test Of strength against
the Harrison force. DuHield said il any
man had invited the Republicans to
meet in convention in the grand jury
room that man ought 10 be invited to
step into grand Jury room before q
Jury Of twelve men aud be indicted.
The distinguished Powoll Clayton, OF
Arkansas, who arose 10 defend the,ma-
iority report, said that he had a rignt
10 speak because he had never held
any office to which he had not been
elected by the people OF his
state. He intimated that per-
haps finer sense of proprlety
would suggest to the senator from Col
orado, that, he, too, being an otfcehol-
der, was throwing mud at otticeholders
who took IN interest in President Har-
rison's reelection.
81 do not hold Office at the appoint
ment OF the President OF the United
States, and am rightly here TO repre-
sent my Republican constituency" was
the response OF Senator Wolcott, and
his reply was loudly cheered by the
Blaine delegates. b
There was wild applause when
Chauncey NJ. Depew arose to support

for the majority report
THE PREVIOUS QUESTION.
Mr.. Miller closed by moving as a
parliamentary motion that the CoRs-
well report bo divided and the present

At this point Clarkson and Platt held a
rapid interchange at Platt's seat No
one who saw it doubted that prepara-
tions we're in hand for the now evident
ly close coming Of the first real test
vote hetween tho Blaine and Harrison
forces.
He concluded by moving the previous
question, and Immediately the demand
for the previous question was seconded
by a majority OF the delegations of
Massachusetts, Delaware and West Nir-
ginia.
Senator Quay, risingto parliamen-
tary question wanted to know the effect
Of the previous question, ifit would en-
able them to have vote on the separate
propositions involved in the report.
The chair ruled that Senator Miller hay
ing demanded division OF the proposiyi
tions involved in the Cogswell report
there could be separate votes taken. i
Both sides were ready for the vote
and storm OF ayes greeted Kinley
when hesaskad II the previous propo-
sition should be ordered.
When the buzz Of the polling OF the
state delegations subsided and the
hasty consultations ceased, the roll call
began. Suddenly came the sharp rap
