t'e result 10 they created q Sentiment
which embraced both Houses Of Con.
gross, and the silver question, which,
prior to leSS, bad slept Tor almost ten
years, save when It was agitated and
held up by the constant and persistent
ener9y OF the Senator's from Nevada,
became for the drst time National
question, gathering the whole coun.
try in ito embrace. The speeches OF
Members Of Congress were freely cir
tuisted, the speeches OF our Senators
we're freely circulated, and iuforma-
ton on this all important subject was
disseminated, aud the education Of
tho people thus advanced.
Now. in that condition OF things
the Republican party felt that It was
essactial to make some move for sill
YER. You will remember that MIR.
Wiudom's message, and the Presi-
dents message, apparently in favor of
silver, came after the st. Louis con-
rention, and was the result of great
popular movement inaugureted at st.
Louis. The matter went into Con-
gress, tho House OF Representatives
passed a bullion redemption bill pur-
suant 20 Mr.. WINDOWS direction and
that OF the President. TIE chairman
OF the coinage committee of the
House, disloyal TO his constituents in
Iowa, stood for the bullion redemption
clause from beginoirg to eud and WAS
rewarded, When his betrayed constit-
uents retired him, by the mission to
Brazil. That bill went to tho Senate;
they returned to the House a free
coinage bill; the bills then won't in
conference committee and there the
whole question was as thoroughly
tied up as is the pending bill in Con
gresa. with no apparent chance Of a
solution at that time. The commit
tee on rules, in the House, Messrs'
Reed, Cannon and Mckinley, held the
House in an iron grip and refused the
House eVen the right to consider
legislation upon this subject.
II was then that the nation al silver
committee was called together to con
slider the situation, and [ suggested
to them that inasmuch 10 toe Nc
Kinley bill-the tariff bill which had
recently passed the HoSuse-was then
In the Senate, and That it would re-
quire the votes OF The mining Sena-
tors to pass it, that it would be we'll
for the national silver committee To
serG kilograms to the State central
committees OF the Republican party
in all the mining States, requesting
them to telegraph To their Senators
urging them to vote against the Nc
kinley bill unless the silver Dill was
taken out OF conference, (Gcat ap.
plause.) / remember the amazehent
with which my petition was rega ruecl
Ivy other members Of the committees,
true TO silver, willing TO cross party
lines at any time in It's interest, who
suld: ''Why, Newlands, your plan
can't meet with success. You don't
understand the strength of party ties.
The Mckinley bill is party measure
called for in the national platform.
You cannot get the Republican Gen.
; trail committees ia those Stetes to
declare against their party policy"
said to them: "You little under
stand the temper of the men in the
mining States" The telegram was
cent; prompt replies were received.
The Senator from Nevada took the
lead (as he always does) aud in con-
nsction with Senator Jones and Sen.
ator Teller, they announced (for they
were the only ones, believe, Of all
the Republican Senators who had the
courage to come forward and repudi
ats party fealty) that they would not
