Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-10-28

As 1t was the trains came together at
a station with considerable force, one
standing still, the other slowing down
for the station. When the crews re-
turned to Battle Greek they were dis
charged and an effort made to hush the
matter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Stewart re-
sumed his argument against the repeal
bill.
Stewart, in answer to the charge that
those who opposed the bill were
thwarting the. will of the majority, denied
that such was the case. The filibus-
terers he said were not the silver men.
But the administration was filibuster-
ing against the alleged will of the
majority to be expressed. They had
used the most aggressive, most out
rageous means, secret at first, public
now, to enslave the majority. Let the
administration take off its hand and
let the majority express itself IN the
senate, he said, and silver would have
vote of nearly two to one.
Kyle, populist of South Dakota,
moved that when the senate adjourned
it would be meet at noon tomorrow;
defeated, four to forty-four.
Stewart then resumed his speech and
at 1:3O without concluding, yielded the
floor to Jones, of Nevada, who resumed
his argument against the bill.
REPUBLICAN SILVER SENATORS.
The republican silve senators
have said from the beginning that
whenever the democrats should re-
fuse to aid them in obstructive meas
ures they would allow voting to begin.
There was a conference during the
forenoon of some repeal leaders of the
house, the precise nature which could
rot be ascertalned.
Teller answered the question as to
whether he thought the government
of the United States could with the
coinage OF silver MAINTAIN parity be-
tween gold and silver, by saying it
could because he did not believe more
silver would come to the country than
business would absorb. In other words
the demand would be equal to the sup
ply.
"Free coinage of silver in the United
States alone might not do it." said
Teller in answer to a query by Palmer.
"The position i take is that our ex-
ample will be followed by other coun-
tries and then the monetary system
would return to the system that pre-
vailed prior to the characterization of sill
yer by Germany, the United States, the
Latin union, etc."
Stewart then addressed the senate
in advocacy of his proposed amendment
for the PanAmerican conference.
Without concluding, Stewart yielded
and the senate took a recess until to-
morrow.
The prevailing opinion in the senate
late this afternoon is that efforts to
secure a compromise on the democratic
side will not be renewed. There are
indications that there will not be many
more speeches, and that when these are
concluded voting must necessarily be-
gin.
Repu blicaD senators will make an
effort to agree upon measure which
both the repeal and silver republicans
will favor and if they succeed, which
hardly seems probable, they will try to
get democratic assistance sufficient to
put the bill through.
1t now develops that there are eight
democrats who have not signed the
agreement to support compromise.
They are Mills, Mitchell Of Wisconsin,
Mcpherson, Villas, Voorhees,, Gallery and
Irby.
About the only definite announcement
made, after the compromise was
declared off, was that there would be no
effort tomorrow at closure. Silver men
reorganizsd their forces and are
prepared to continue The fight
indefinitely.
Whether given out in earnest, or for
a purpose, some of the silver senators
announced when they heard the COM
promise bill would not be presented
that they would make no more factions
opposition but would give way az soon
as the prepared speeches were concluded
and let the repeal bill pass.
There caa be little doubt that Sena-
tor Voorhees, had this in mind early in
the day when he said he would ask for
an adjournment instead of recess to
night. In the bringing up of the
cloture resolution tomorrow, when he
after " ards allowed a recess instead of
an adjournment, he cut off the possibil
ity o. taking that question up tomorrow.
Senators Palmer and Mcpherson, and
other repeal senators, had long con-
ference with President CT sveland. When
he returned to the senate chamber Pal
mer said he thought cloture would be
soon.
"Is has come" he said, ''to be ques-
ton as TO whether the minority shall
rule; it is more important even than the
financial question. We shall have to
have that fight out"
1t is believed that Senator Palmer
the sentiments of the execu-
tive. There is no mistaking the fact
that many of the silver democratic
senators feel greatly relieved. They
say that they surrendered all connec-
tions contrary to their best judgment
and they are more than willing to have
the administration take the response
blity, not accepting Sc Element.
Some of the repeal senators who
heretofore stood staunchly by the adj
are also criticizing the
course which has been pursued in the
matter By the administra-
ton. Senators opposed to the uncon-
ditional repeal bill and the lsboring
majority of the democratic senators IA
vor a compromise. One of them said
tonight that they had secured, includ-
ing Senator Daniel who signed today,
thirty-six names.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 23.-Pro.
Attorney Clark is the busiest
man in Battle Greek this morning. He
