Summed Up by Voorhees,.
''The adjournment of this long-to-be
remembered session of congress brings
with it a great sense of relief"
Senator Voorhees, had been asked by
an interview and, it was with the above
statement he began. Continuing he said:
o. 'We met amidst the crash of business
disasters, bank failures, and all the dis
tressful Incidents of one of the worst
financial panics ever known in this or
business circles, and fair degree Of re-
stored confidence prevails in all parts of
the country. 1t will, of course, take time
for the various business pursuits to fully
recover from the overwhelming financial
shock and depression which have af-
but the signs of healthy improvement are
now visible on every hand and good omens
for the employment of labor cheer us
from all quarters"
When requested to state his views
about future legislation, the senator only
| tn Ell e.;
and honest revision of the tariff taxation
now to follow at the regular session, only
thirty days distant, predict that we will
enter upon solid and lasting career of
prosperity for the laboring and producing
masses, OF every section of our beloved
Union"
Reviewing the events of the session he
said: In looking back over the incidents
and scenes which marked the session lust
closed, ! have nothing but pleasant and
kindly feelings. toward all. I attribute
my success in the management of my bill
TO me TACT that while firm and uncompro-
missing in pushing it forward, I aimed at
all times to be patient, liberal and fair
towards every member of the senate.
and am now thoroughly convinced that
a contrary course would have
Resulted in Defeat.
l believe such is the opinion also of ey-
cry senator l1: very many of them have per
| sonally so assured me-"

OF the success of repeal, Mr.. Voorhees,
said: THE darkest hour for the Hill
was when Senator Sherman's famous in
tervlew came out month ago, in which
ne encouraged it's enemies and discour-
aged its friends by declaring in the
strongest terms that unconditional re-
peal could never pass the senate. / feit
that blow more than any other in the
long contest, and in my judgment it pro
longed the fight at least two weeks more
than it would otherwise have done. Mr..
sherman was very anxious for compro-
mise embracing the issue of bonds, and
strong speech in the senate when he A.
ra1gned the Democratic side of the
chamber for having so long DELAYED an ef-
fort to compromise. All these utter
ances and dismal predictions on the part
OF the acknowledged leader of the ReDub-
Hcan party could have but one ef-
feet. They encouraged Mr. Teller. Mr..
Dubois and their allies to fight on, and
they chilled and dampened the hope and
zeal OF many staunch supporters of the
Dill. 1 have very great respect for Mr..
Sherman's high ability and for him per-
sonally, but have never believed, and do
not no, that ne had any real liking for
into law unless it carried an amendment
providing for the issuance of goodly
supply of government bonds. do not,
however, desire to indulge in a word of
criticism of any one, and I gladly bear
testimony to the kind, untiring, faithful
support which the bill received from the
large body of Republican senators who
finally gave it their votes"
Said Mr.. Voorhees, in reply to a ques-
ton: ION the Democratic side of the
chamber, while there were strong differ
ences of opinion, do not know of d
single unfriendly feeling left by the pro-
tracted discussion Neither party organi-
cation nor friendly relations have been
disturbed. We will take up our work on
the tariff and other great questions when
we meet here in December as. if nothing
had happened to mar our peace with one
another or to impair our strength for the
| public good. Our faith in the present
able and thoroughly patriotic administra
ton has never ben stronger than now,
and. to my mind, the future wearsa
bright and promising aspect. IS
