Mr. Carey said Mr.. Wolcott had aban-
doned his party IN the last campaign. He
was aware. he said, that everything had
beer done in that State to excite the peo-
pie Of Wyoming against him CMr Carey)
He had letter from a reputable citizen of
Colorado. saying that If he voted against
free coinage the influence and money of
that State would be used to ruin him. He
then read from a magazine article discuss
ing the silver question sentence to the
trade Of votes by which the Senators
from the silver States had voted against
the force bill in return for votes to be cast
in favor of free coinage.
Il want to state distinctly" said Mr..
Harris. from the standpoint of one of a
committee of Democratic Senator's, that
there never was understanding or agree
ment between Democratic Senators and
Senators from the silver States that any
single vote should be controlled by any
consideration in favor of silver or against
the force bill Such statement as the
Senator, has just made deserves to be
branding it, as an utter falsehood."

WASHBURN APOLOGIES.
Mr.. Washburn, whose statement some
time ago that Mr.. Carey had told him he
| would vote for the unconditional repeal
| bill was the cause of the sharp exchange,
| apologized for repeating a conversation,
| and characterized the statement that he
| had profered the vote of Mr.. Carey as abb
| surd.
! Mr.. Teller, referring to Mr.. Carey's i'm
putation of a trade between silver Repub-
| leans and force bill Democrats, said: II
deny that there trade, arrange
ment or understanding, directly or indi-
rectly, or in any other way. There is no
| truth in the statement and, in my judg-
| ment the Senator from Wyoming knew it
when he made the charge.
Mr.. Dubois regretted that the Senator
/ from Wyoming did not represent his people,
/ but he knew the Senator was following his
| conscience and doing what he thought right.
Mr. Pasco called for the reading of his
