contemplate only with serious appre-
tensions of the future welfare of the
country. Morgan said the passage OF
the bill would be an irrevocable sur
render to the demands of most inso-
Ilent, overbearing corporations. Nor
gan then read slowly, and with great
emphasis, these sentences from Cor
mans speech of Saturday: 1--WE were
compelled to take the terms offered by
the senator from Ohio. He held the
key of the situation. You have die
tated terms to US.
II thank Almighty God" said Nor
gan, impressively, that the senator
from Ohio has never had power to die
tate terms to me as a Democrat He
may have dictated them to the preSi-
dent, to the committee, to the minority
of the Democrats on this side, but ne
cannot dictate to me" Again quoting
from Germans speech, Morgan read a
sentence as to Sherman laying down
conditions. HE laying down condi-
ton to the Democracy" said Morgan
contemptuously ''What is the Demo
cratic party worth to itself or to the
country or to posterity when the SEN
} ator from Ohio has the key to the
: situation, and can lay down conol-
tons to it? What is your majority
worth addressing the Democratic SEN
ators) thus trif1ed with, thus deceived
thus oyerrun and finally handed over
: 10 the tender mercies of the senator
, from Ohio?" Morgan said ne mac
signed the proposed compromise ano
had done so in order to have peace
and fraternity in the Democratic party
"Coynrnit suicide said Morgan with
, much bitterness, because you can not
: get a. chance to live on fair or even
terms with your friends and neigh-
bors.''
at which time Voorhees, on SATURDAY
EXPRESSED the hope vote on the pas
sage of the bill would be had. many
representatives entered the chamber
and found seats on the sofas in the
rear. of the senatorial chairs
Morgan concluded his written re-
marks at 2:4O. He left the subject, ne
said. with the knowledge that the ole
was cast. The Senate, house anu
president had determined that the
nandinp measures should prevail.
There was nothing now to look to, so
far as he could see, but some vague
promises made in the Senate when
were entirely incapable of being real
lied.
Vest followed Morgan. He expressed
sympathy with the people of the silver
states and said no car or kaiser would
desolate an insurrectionary province as
Congress was about to desolate the sill
yer states of the west.
| Cockrell. DemocraO of Missouri,
said at the last election the tariff queS-
ton and not the financial question was
pressed to the front and the Demo-
cratic party secured a victory. Now
the election was over the tariff had
been lost sight of and the senior SEN
ator from New York. (HilD, was be-
held pitching to the front on the silver
question Cockrell reviewed at great
length the history OF the repeal bill
in the house and senate. IF the bill
was to pass he said, lit has been ta-
ken out of the hands of the Democracy
| and Republican senators had to be con-
suited before anything could be done,
and the Republican party would be in
finitely more responsible for uncondf-
tional repeal than the Democratic
party. If the repeal of the Sherman
law failed to restore prosperity, the
Republican party must bear the re-
sponsibility.''
Carey, Republican) of Wyoming,
defended his position on the repeal bill.
He then referred to the speech of VOL
colt on Saturday, in which he said he
was advised that Wyoming desired re-
, peal, and the senator from Minnesota
: (Washburn) had made the proffer of
the vote of the senator from Wyoming,
and his authority was not questioned.
Carey resented this statement and
-A0SeC oO1iiC Shc1I PCISOIld1 references
to Wolcott. In conclusion, Carey said
| he should vote for unconditional re-
peal, although he favored compromise.
Wolcott replied in an equally caustic
l manner. He read a statement made
: some time ago in which Washburn
stated that Carey had told him he
would vote for unconditional repeal.
AT the time the statement was made. -
[ said Wolcott, the senator from Wv
: oming sat quietly in his seat, and from
that day until this has seen fit to give
no utterance upon the subject Here

!, by senator who not only had said
no word, but had not permitted q
senator from an adjoining state to de-
me his position. If the senator from
wyoming is content with his position. -
said Wolcott, Il have no objection to

: carey having said in his remarks that
) Wolcott strove after effect and
changed his costume with each speech
! etc, Wolcott replied holly, There are
some men to whom clean linen is an
oHenSe. and he regretted the senator
from wyoming was one of them. He
apologlzed to the Senate for stoopine
to such a personal allusion. and said
/; there is a Spanish proverb that fits the
!, case; lis waste of lather to shave
an ass. --
This provoked great laughter in the
, galleries and the vice-president adj
monlshed the occupants.
! carey replied in a warm manner and
! charged Wolcott with abandoning his
, party in the last campaign and said
the trouble with Wolcott and his peo-
pie had been that they attempted to
, interfere in the affairs of his (Carev'sl
people instead of looking after Their
own he Carey had a letter from a
reputable citizen of Colorado saving
II he voted against free coinage. the in
fiuence and money of that state would
be used to ruin him. Carey also Quot
, ed from magazine articles on silver. a
sentence about d trade by which fhe
, senator's from the silver states voted
. against the force bill in return for
! votes to be cast for free coinage.
Harris Democrat of Tennessee
holly branded this statement about
his position, and said he considered
lit dishonorable for a senator to use
lsuch terms with reference to a col
league.
Butler Democrat. of South Carolina,
called upon Henderson, of Nebraska
who called him (Butler) to order sew
leral days ago for words spoken in .
debate with Hill, to call Carey to order
Henderson replied 1.-The senator
from South Carolina is SO pugilistic
in his tendencies that / leave this fight
TO him.
Washburn characterized the state
! ment that he had proffered Carey's vote
as absurd.
Dubois regretted that Carey did NOT
