HilD was beheld pitching to the front the
silver question. Cockrell reviewed at
great length the history of the repeal bill
in the House and Senate. The bill was to
pass, said he. 1t had been taken out of
the hands of the Democracy and Repub-
lcan Senators had TO be consulted before
anything could be done, and the Repub-
lican party would be infinitely more re-
sponsible for unconditional repeal than
the Democratic party. If the repeal of
the Sherman law failed to restore pros
perity the Republican party must bear the
responsibility.
Carey (R.) of Wyoming defended his po-
sitiOn on the repeal bill. He then referred
to the speech of Wolcott on Saturday, in
which he said he was advised that Wyo-
ming did not desire repeal, and that yet
the Sen ator from Minnesota. Washburp,
had made proffer for the vote of the Sem
ator from Wyoming, and his authority to
do so was not questioned. Carey resented
this statement, and made some sharp per-
sonal references to Wolcott. In conclusion
Carey said that he should vote for uncon-
ditional repeal, although be favored COM
promise.
Wolcott replied In an equally caustic
manner. He read the statement made
some time ago in which Washburn had
stated that Carey had told him he would
vote for unconditional repeal. ''At the
time that statement was made" said VOL
colt, "the Senator from Wyoming sat
quietly In his seat. and from that day un-
til this has seen fit to make no utterance
upon the subject. Here apparently stood
this new, young commonwealth, with its
people unanimously in favor OF the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, repre-
sented in this body by Senator who not
only has said no word, but has permitted
a Senator from an adjoining State to de-
fine his position. If the Senator from Wyo-
ming is content with his position have no
objection to make. / leave him to his
constituents"
Carey having said that Wolcott strove
after effect and changed his costume with
each speech, Wolcott replied botly that
there were some men to whom clean linen
was an offense. and he regretted that the
Senator from Wyoming was one of them.
He apOlogized to the Senate for STOPPING
TO such personal illusions. and said there
was Spanish proverb that fitted the case:
1T Is Il w dSIo OI IdlutE " SudSb al ass
This provoked great laughter in the
galleries and the Vice-President admon-
ished the occupants. Carey replied in
warm manner, charging WolcOtt with
abandoning bis party in the last cam.
paign, and said the trouble with Wo!cott
and his people had been that they had at
tempted to interfere in the affairs OF his
(Carey's) people instead of looking after
their own. He Carey had received a
letter from reputable citizen of Colorado
saying that if lie voted against free coin
age the influence and money of that State
would be used to ruin him. Carey also
quoted from magazine article on silver
a sentence about the trade by which the
Senators from the silver States had voted
against the force bill in return for votes to
be cast for free coinage.
Harris 3D. of Tennessee hotly branded
this statement about his position as false,
and said that he considered it dis hon orable
for Senator to use such terms with ref
erence to a colleague.
Butler D.) of South Carolina called
upon Henderson of Nebraska. who had
called him (Butlar) to order several days
ago for words spoken In debate with Hill.
to call Carey to order.
Henderson replied: "The Senator from
South Carolina is so puglistic in his ten
denotes that l leave this fight to him."
Washburn characterized the statement
that he had proffered Carey's vote as
absurd.
Dubois regretted that Carey did not rep
resent his people. but knew that the Sena-
tor was following his conscience in doing
what he thought was right.
Pasco called for the reading of his sub
stitute, of which notice was given on
Saturday. Stewart presented an amend
ment, which was voted down, and Pasco
yielded while Gray presented the report
on the Chinese extension bill. White
asked that 1t be made special order for
Wednesday. An objection was made and
the bill went to the calendar. Pasco's SUBJ
stitute was then defeated, 20 to AZ.
Jones of Nevada resumedhis speech be-
gun several days ago. The demoneiization of
silver, he said, was but part of the scheme
of the bankers in the great money centers.
who also wanted a monopoly of the issue
of money. They would now demand the
issue of S200,000,0 900 in bonds, believing
that the distress of the country will be-
come so great as a result of contraction
that the Government will be unable to
resist the demand. In his opinion ins tead
of issuing bonds to relieve the currency
famine the Government should issue green
backs.
In conclusion Jones said this was not
the doom of silver as some imagined. 1t
was only the beginning of the fight.
PETER ana Harris spoke briefly against
the bill and Stewart closed the long debate
with few remarks In similar vein.
At 7:20 the Vice-Presdent put the oues-
tion ON the engrossment of the amendment
and the third reading of the bill, which
was agreed to without division. The vote
was then taken on the passage of the bill
as amended. The vote resulted: Ayes 49,
noes 80. SO the bill as amended passed.
