not be Iound an Intel lgent republican who
was not satisfied with'the verdict.
Then ne stated his position on cloture
He would resist by every method, OBJ.
structive and otherwise, the adoption in
the senate of II rule which should limit or
obstruct debate. He took his seat few
minutes before , O'Clock. II he had spoken
till O'Clock the resolution would have
gone To the calendar, but Turpie rose and
expressed an intention Of speaking on the
resolution today. That saved it from 60
ing on the calendar, for no senator would
be guilty of the discourtesy of interposing
an objection to another senator's address
ing the senate when he he'd expressed a
desire to do So And 50 the cloture reso-
luton remained ON tie table; but notice
was given 10y Mcpherson that after Turpie
shall have spoken the res olution must go
TO the calendar if it lie not referred to the
committee on rules.
The repeal hill then came up and George
completed hN speech against it, saying
nothing new Stewart, who has spoken
on that bill several times already, and who
stands TO do the ''unli ed" to the bitter
end, then took the floor and proceeded to
deliver an essay on what he called "the
elementary principles of money and

Frye and George talked together, and SO
did Gibson and Mcpherson, and the two
Virginia senatOrs-Duniel and Huntoa.
On the Republican side OF the chamber
there was Il general Indication of weari-
ness
The talk did not max e any difference to
Stewart. He went tight on, Dolph asked
him II he didn't want TO stop, but he said
no. Teller tried it late- and got the same
reply, Stewart saying that he had half a
dozen speeches he wanted to get off, and
by this remark raised laugh. "Sena-
torial courtesy" seems to have its limit on
both sides of the house for little on no mt
tentlon was paid to Stewart and finally he
stOpped-tO begin some other day.
Then Voorhees, rose and said: Il may say
that conference -consultation-ha taken
place this afternoon between myself and
senators on this side and senators on the
other side of the chamber, friends and op-
ponents of the pending measure. which
has resulted substantially, rs understand,
in an agreement rs TO the hours which we

and fl ON after that date, the hour of meet
