WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-In the senate
Dubois, republican Of idaho, created a
sensation by offering the following
which went over until tomorrow:
Several sovereign states are without
the full representation in the senate to
which they are entitled.
Be it resolved, Thatin consideration
of legislation relating to federal elect
ions, laws on tariff and financial matters
affecting partially unrepresented states,
action be postponed in the senate until
Monday, January Is, 1894, to enable the
states Of Washington, Montana and
Wyoming to have the votes, influence
and protection guaranteed each
sovereign state by the constltu ton OF
United States.
The resolution was laid on the table
yeas twenty seven; nays, nineteen.
Tie repeal bill was taken up. Stewart
yield to Dubois of Idaho who had given
notice OF intention to speak today
Dubois yielded to Perkins who said:
I'VE have been told in clear courageous
tones that all our existing economy
troubles flow from a law that viciously
operates upon affairs of finance and
commerce and we have been further
told the blotting out of that law will in
stantly recall to US our recent days
OF prosperity.
at is absurd to say our coined silver
has caused, or is causing the present
lack. The Sherman act purchasing
clause is to adjust and maintain the
currency system upon double standard
with equality between the units of value
and their multipies.
Then open the mines to coinage OF
silver of proved American production,
and gave our manufacturing and pro-
ducing interests assurance that the
tariff shall not be altered in disregard to
their reasonable claims otherwise than
with due regard for repeal for greatest
good to the greatest number and your
contemplated repeal of the Objectionable
clause of Sherman act will have new
force and meaning from Name to Cali
forHia.
Stewart read from paper an article
on the presidents alleged rebuke to the
senate. Palmer of Illinois, asked whether
it was consistent with the proper rela-
tions of the senate and the president OF
the United States to read in the senate
grave charges against an executive for
which he (Stewart) would not be re-
sponsible. Stewart said it was consis-
tent for him as senator to defend the
senate from what the press said that
the president was rebuking the senate
and calling senators criminals. "Let
his friends deny that he has used
patronage to control legislation" said
Stewart LET them make it clear how
she sentiment of congress has been
changed and how the overwhelming
majority in the favor OF free coinage in
congress has been changed to a mono
metallist majority"
Palmer wanted Stewart to indicate a
single instance in which the president
employed patronage to control senator
of members of the house. "Why my
dear sir" said Senator Stewart in a
patronizing way, "These charges have
been made in the public press. They
have been brought heme here and
before | indicated any one. Will you
deny that patronage has been iven to
those who will support administration
measures?"
If the senator himself upon his own
responsibility as q senator" replied
Palmer, "will make charge of that sort,
will confess if / believe it to be correct
or will deny. But the idea that the
president or friends are to deny charges
made against him IN the papers seems to
nae most astounding"
Palmer again asked: "Will the seDa-
tor name a single senator whom he
knows or believes to have been influ-
enced by the patronage Of the presi-
dent?"
"Does the senator want to make q
personal matter of this?" asked Stew
art.
Palmer said he would vote for an in
vestigation when Stewart moved to
make charge against any senator or
member of the house. 81 do not want
to confine it to one senator or member"
said Stewart, amid laughter. "Investi-
gate then il You dare" II will" re-
piled Palmer, whenever the senator
brings forward the charge against any
individual IN the senate"
VOORHEES, said in regard to Stewards
speech of the past two days that it
had not been thought necessary by the
democratic senators to say a single word
in defense of Grover Cleveland. His
defense had been fully made by the
American people themselves What
ever the senator from Nevada may have
found of fault in his career the Ameri-
can people had Tot seen it in that way.
Nobody was perfect. Human nature IN
the form of the loftiest characters were
not infallible, but he would venture to
say that in the American history the
career of Grover Cleveland, his charac-
ter, his achievements, his honor, bis
his ability would stand with
the foremost in spite Of all the assaults
that might be made. The senate then
adjourned.
