hees.

Walthall, (Miss.( who proceeded to
address the senate. He favored the
passage of the repeal bill if the decla-
rations of the policy contained in the
bill were embodied in the form of
binding act. If the present condition
of the people is due to the Sherman
act and not the Mckinley law, then let
the Democratic party make haste to
supplement the ed ,aGonal campaign
of 1899 by teaching he people OF the
country now that he campaign was
conducted to success on an mistaken
issue. Referring t. he present posi-
ton of Carlilse, Senator Walthall read
the declaration of TIE secretary of the
treasury when member of the house
years ago and compared them with
his latest utterance' What great
burst of VISION" he asked, ''has come
to Carlisle? What great power has
struck the scales from his eyes ?" He
wanted silver restored tothe position
it occupied before the actof 1878 was
passed.
When Senator Walthall concluded
Senator Stewart resumed the floor and
started on the third instalment of his
speech. He read from the New York
World, which he said gavethe law to
the senate. The senate hould be
grateful to Pulitzer for advising it as
to exactly what the peole of the
United States think. He vas espe-
cially adapted to perform tat func.
ton by reason Of the fact TINT he was
born in Europe and now resied there.

read from the New York Herad to the
effect that the popular will o! the sill
yer question had been expressed in un.
mistakable terms and must be obeyed
1T is true,' said Senator Stewart,
that Bennett was born in his coun-
try, but think he has resided abroad
for the last quarter of century Why
should he assume to be more familiar
with public sentiment than those
of us who have lived here all our
lives, the chairman of the finance CON.

Referring to Cleveland, Senate
Stewart said it was a sad thing for tn
American people that in his early llf
and ripper manhood he had not bee
surrounded as Andrew Jackson ha
been, by the producing classes OF Ia
boring men and farmers that he Nigh
sympathize with them. Cleveland wa
reared in the city, his office was in th
Mills building, New York, the yer
center in the United States of Euro
pean influence. He sympathized wit
his surroundings and his surround
ings were unfortunate for the Amer
can people. Cleveland's organs con
stantly praised him for his use of fed
eral patronage to secure the destruC
tion of all legislation that pointed t
silver. II do not charge him with it,
said Senator Stewart drawing himse
up to his full height, and speakin
with warmth, but if it is not true h
