STILL ON ELECTIONS REPEAL.

Western Members Pay Their COmpli-
ments to Chicago and New York.
WASHINGTON, Oct U1.-Mr. Aldrich,
the representative from Chicago,
opened the debate in the house on the
elections bill this morning with a
vigorous defense of the Republican
attempt to check the democratic
frauds in that great city aud put
down the alleged Garter Harrison
ring"
Mr.. Deliver of Iowa followed in the
same strain. The repeal of the cleo
ton laws, he said, placed the govern
ment in the attitude of disowning the
men who defended its life and of leav-
ing them without civil rights except
by the grace of state laws, invented to
destroy their right of suffrage He
then made vigorous attack on Tam
many, an organization which, he said,
lived upon tithes exacted from the
vices, the misfortunes and contracts of
the great American city.
MMr. Boutelle of Maine, after deliv-
ering a glowing apostrophe to New
England, in which he made some sar-

which he said described the dough
face of 1911 and enabled him to throw
upon the scene of the house a photo
graph of the dough face of 1898. Sud
denly Mr.. Springer took exception
against applying the epithet dough
face" to member of the house.
1T is an epithet," returned Mr..
Boutelle de6antly, which can be ap-
piled with equal force as we'll to the
gentleman from Illinois as the gentle

Discussion in the House
Washington News.

WASHINGTON. Oct0 When the sen
ate met to-day Mr. Harris of Tennes-
see, replied in caUstic terms to a reso-
luton from the Memphis Merchants
exchange, which. he said, criticised
in terms more or less severe his col
league tNr. Bate and himself and
charged dereliction of duty in oppos-
ing repeal. He said that he believed
he knew his own duty better than they
did.
Mr.. Wolcott took the floor to speak
on the resolution directing the com
mittee on finance to report bill en-
bodying the declaration of policy con-
tanned in the Voorhees, substitute.
Mr.. WolcOtt criticised severely the
letter Of the president to Governor
NOrthen of Georgia, which he charac.
terized as one of the most remarkable
pronunciamentos Of this generation.
He also spoke of extraordinary ac-
tivity of the administration to force
individual views on congress and con-
demned the action of the secretary of
the treasury in failing to purchase the
amount of silver required By law.
Mr.. Voorhees, replied at great length
and with some feeling
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Senator Cockrell of Missouri, ad-
dressed the senate against uncondi-
tiOnal repeal
The Democratic sena tors took advan-
tage of the Sunday quiet to hold a
conference at the capitol yesterday for
the purpose, if possible, of agreeing
upon course with reference to the
repeal bill. 1t is known that no
agreement was reached and the dis.
covery was made again that it would
be very difficult to reach an under
standing. 1t also appeared that the
party in the senate was almost evenly
divided upon the question of uncon-
ditlOnal repeal, tweuty-one being
favorably thereto and twenty-four
opposed.
Should the senate dispose of the
silver problem this week everything
else would be laid aside in the house
to act upon it The sentiment in the
house is very strong that a coppro.
mise will be the result, but if that
compromise should carry with it a
provision fol a bond issue, it would
encounter most bitter and formidable
opposition. Indeed the Democratic
leader: there Do not hesitate 20 give
1t as their opinion that a proposition
for bond issue could never be passed
in the lower branch of congress,
Secretary Carlisle was at the capitol
Saturday and held long conference
with Democratic senators. 1t was at
first reported that he was figuring on
a compromise, but later Senators
Vance and Voorhees, and Mr.. Carlisle
himself declared that the administra-
ton had no compromise to offer, but
that the repeal fight would continue
indefinitely without any recess of the
senate.
Mr.. Martin of Kansas gave notice
Saturday that he would speak on the
silver question Wednesday.
