Wolcott Talks the Subject OF
Silver.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-After the pre-
liminares OF the morning business, Morgan,
at II 80 o'clock, called up his silver resoiu-
tion offered yesterday and yielded to VOL
colt of Colorado, who proceeded immedi-
ateIy to address the Senate on the subject oil
silver. beginning with BANDS statement
that the silver bill had been put TO sleep in
the House, and the Senate might as well
face the truth Oh the silver question. Ap-
parently the subject has lost interest for the
public, Tor, although the Senators present
listened with fair degree of attention, the
galleries contained only the usual number
of scattering spectators. W0lcott soon
launched out in an attack upon the Admin
istration. lie admitted that the silver men
had suffered defeat in both Houses and
charged that 1t had been compaSsed by the
Administration, the first great force which
had ieft no stone unturned in its efforts to
defeat the silver bill. 1t appeared 10 desire
TO avoid all embarrassment Of action upon
the question before the National COnyen-
ton was held He asserted that the
Republican party, with negatively
unanimous vote, would renominate
the present executive, because no
other other man of greater stature
could be found to stand because of the blow
that struck silver aside. 1t became equally
manifest that the Democratic party would
present its apostle of tariff reform, whose
vision saw no other issue and who was will
Ing to be consecrated again to public Office.
So now the great mass of the people are un-
represented by any party. He (WolcotD
charged that the administration had cracked
the party lash and had succeeded but there
would be a tomorrow. 1t was humili-
ating spectacle. and the administration
should at least have allowed Congress to
express its opinion without duress.
Wolc0tt wound up his speech with an
eloquent perOration which was applauded
by both the Senators and the spectators.
Attention had been paid 10 the whole speech,
which was delivered with great energy,
although mostly from manuscript. The
Senate chamber was much fuller than usual
and every Senator gave, most unusual
thing. his undivided attention to the speech.
At lis close Morgan's resolution went
over without action. The Senate then
resumed the consideration Of the In
dian appropriation bill, and was addressed
by Voorhees,, who went over the circunl-
stances of the Sioux outbreak of last year,
attributng 1t, on the authority OF General
Miles, to hunger.

The Result OF CleveIand's Visit to Rhode
Island.

The Result OF Cleveland's Visit to Rhode
Island.
PROVIDENCE, April 6.-Rhode Island has
been placed in the Republican column for
the presidential year Brown (Rep.) can
didate for q lveruOr, has a plurality of 653
over Wardell in seven towns and districts.
and a careful estimate Of the remaining 20
towns and districts leaves Brown a safe
plurality. The Republicans have gained
double the plurality for all candidates for
States officers. 1t is hoped at Republican
headquarters that they will have majority
of the popular vote, but complete returns
will lie needed before this can positively be
affirmed
Providence has gone Democratic on the
State ticket by only 200. This Is q great
Republican gain. Woonsocket is very close
and Is reported 70 be Democratic by single
vote. Tawtueket has gone Republican.
Newport is claimed at midnight by both
sides. Lincoln is safe Republican by 400
plurality. There are Republican gains in
Cranston, Johnston and other manufactur-
Ing cities. The Republicans have probably
elected IL members Of the Legislature to %
Democratic members, and will probably
secure q m ai0riiy on joint ballot although
second elections will be needed In six dis
trictS, and possibly in Providence also.
NEW YORK. April AT ! o'clock this

dence, Newport and Pawtucket to hear

great victory for the protective policy of
our party. decided blow to the soft-mOney
heresies Of the Democratic maj jority in Con-
