priety OF the free coinage Of silver. He
wished to ascertain whether on either
or on both sides Of the chamber there
were Senators who permitted the shad-
ows Of coming heroes and Presidential
comhatantS TO come between them and
the people and their votes on question
oi the highest possible importance.
IL did not make any material differ
ence whether Mr.. Harrison or anybody
else was 10 be the Republican candidate
for the presidency, or whether Mr..
Cleveland or anybody else was 10 be the
| Democratic candidate, Senators should
march straight up 10 their duty and
/ correct the evil be had referred to as
best they know how.
Senators had no right to shrink from
the full discussion of their situation, or
from free and manly performance of
their duty. So far as he was concerned
whatever effect it might have on any
political party he intended TO bring the
subject forward and have it discussed
and voted upon.
Mr.. Sherman said he hoped that the
Senator from Alabama would put in the
form a bill some proposition which he
desired the Senate 10 act upon, some
thing that would give relief to the
people Of the United States. In that
way the Senate would have something
TO pass upon, and that would be much
better than engaging in the business Of
a debating school at this period of the
session.
In the course OF his further remarks,
an ailuSiOn by Mr.. German to the effect
OF silver legislation on Democratic as
pirantS for the Presidential nomination
drew from Mr.. Teller the suggestion:
And on some on our side" / will not,
MIR. Morgan said in reply TO that sug-
geStiOn, accuse the Senator from Ohio
on that point, because he has made up
his mind to die without being President,
much to the regret Of the people Of the
United States. When the Senator from
Nevada (Mr. Stewart calls up his mo-
tion next Monday TO take his silver bill
from the calendar the Senator from
Ohio will not allow him TO say word on
the subject.
The rules forbid it. We have got to
vote ave" or mo" in dumb silence.
No Senator will be able to give the rea-
sons FOR his votes, but he will be able TO
give any reason he pleases elsewhere
and before the people. Therefore, l do
not propose TO furnish any cOter for
these gentlemen. Gentlemen are reck-
Oning entirely outside OF the horoscope
Of probabilities, when they imagine
that the people Of the United States can
be deceived any longer by their
lodging the question. And so,
have brought forward these reSolu-
tions for that purpose. He asked that
the resolution should go over till to-
morrow. The resolutions were accord
ingly laid on the table, and shortly
afterwards two of the Republican SEN
atOrs, MeSSrS. Teller and WOlcOtt, were
10 be seen in eager conference with Mr..
Morgan, as IL TO assure him that he
would not be without support when
his resolutions came up for discussion.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up and the vote was taken with
out further discussion on the House
provision for the assignment of army Of
hcerS TO the duties OF Indian agents.
The amennment recommended By the
Committee on Appropriations TO strike
out the provision was defeated. Yeas,
%; nays, "a. The provision remains in
corporated in the bill. Without further
action on the bill the Senate adjourned.
