"MR. DICK" STEWART
Can't Keep King Charles's Head Out
Of His Speech.
FEDERAL ELECTION BILL EXCITES
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.

Another Instal1ment lof the Nevada Sena-
tors Harangue-Lively Discussions on
State Rights in the House-Maine
Pensions and Patents.
Washington, September 3d. A resolu-
tion was offered in the Senate this morn
ing by Mr.. Dubois, Rep, Of Idaho. and
went over until tomorrow, for postpone
ment till the Is of January, 1894, of all
legislation in the Senate relating to the
federal election laws, tariff and finance,
SO that the partially represented States OF
Washington, Montana and Wyoming may
have the votes, influence and protection
guaranteed to every state by the Consti-
tuition.
The repeal bill was, on motion OF Mr..
Voorhees,, taken up.
There was some question as to what
had become of Mr.. Stewart S resolution on
which he spoke yesterday, and the pre-
siding officer, Mr.. Harris, ruled that on
objection yesterday by Mr.. Washburn, the
resolution had gone to the calendar.
Then Mr.. Stewart informed Mr.. WASH
burn that an objection would not prevent
him from renewing the resolution and
going on with his remarks.
Mr.. Quay, however, indicated an OBJ
lection to giving Mr.. Stewart an oppor-
tunity to reopen his attack on the Presl-
dent of the United States.
But Mr.. Stewart, after the conclusion
of speech by Mr.. Perkins of California,
in favor of repeal, renewed his attack on
the President, quoting freely from Ad-
ministration organs and holding Cleve-
land responsible for their utterances. he
accused the President of bartering patron
age for anti-silver votes in the Senate.
He closed the days installment with a
passionate arrrignment of England as q
monster that stalked through the country
breaking down the interests OF seven
states and territories, that claimed to
direct the legislation of Congress and
whose voice had been heard last week on
the east front of the capitol rebuking the
Senate.n He charged that Charles the
First of England, had done just what
Cleveland is doing. He then yielded the
floor, but without finishing his speech.
Messrs. Palmer, Morgan and VOORHEES,
came to the defense of the President,
giving him irst-class certificate of
character, and protesting their great love
and veneration for him.
The Senate then went into executive
session, and shortly after adjourned.
In the House.
Mr.. Tucker continued the discussion on
the federal election repeal bill. Mr.. Ray
and Mr.. Tucker got into constitutional
controversy as to the rights of the states,
the Republican contending that the
United States ought to have the right to
supervise elections in which the interests
of the whole country were involved, and
the Democrat held the contrary Then
Mr.. Tucker paid his respects to John L.
Davenport, and criticised his action, and
Mr.. Ray defended him and referred to S..
S. Cox's report eulogistic of that gentle
man.
without action on the bill the House,
having no quorum, adjourned.
