| woLcorr's BRILLIANT sIaHK
wolcott Of Colorado was the brilliant Mu-
raj Of the Silver State senator's, always bril-
liant, dashing, interesting, sarcastic, humor-
Gus, witty rs 1t suited him He wss never
dull, never weAryirg lie WAS Teller's Joy
AID pride and was always put At the front
whenever Teller wanted to revive the activity
In debate.
The enfant terrible OF the silver men va,
puboh u idaho He wac the snashct ci
senatorial dignity, nlthoagh the newspaper
men have anbbed him 1.-THE Defender of Sen.
atorial Dignity" title which pleascs him
Immensely. Dubois is youngster. He
graduated from Yale College and Is native
CT Sprin gfeld, Illinois, where his father, we'll
known Is "tncic Jesse Dubois,r was for Z
long time prominent Wing and afterwards
Republican politician. Dubois IL a nephew
nj Senator Voorhees,, and perhaps for that
reason, he was put forward by tho silver men
to avoid affronting that senator The uncle
and nephew got along very smiably.. They
had no severe spats, although they exchanged
some pretty severe back talk from timc to
time, but always with a courteous string at
tached to it. Dubois made m good deal =.
character during the contest; he proved him
self well up In parliamentary knowledge npd
q dcbnter of hrst-class capacity. Being the
younerst man among the silver men, lie un-
dertook the brunt Of the fight. He has never
been absent from his scat since the real con-
test began. He was the man to make things
unpleasant for the majority 1t was he who
made objections to Unanimous consent; It
was he who opposed adjournments and re-
cesses in fact he had to perform all the rough
duties that the hlibusters had to engage in,
but he believed in his heart that he was serv-
Ing his people In his state In doing so, and be
enjoyed his work. He never lost temper
from start to finish, was always smiling and
good-natured IN the heat of every fight
Mills BIo hit.
Perhaps the man Of all others who made
himself character during the last week of
the contest VISA Senator David B. Hill OF New
York. Everybody expected, OF course, that
there must be something 10 Mr.. Hill or he
never could have reached the height of
| authority that he enjoys In New York state,
but the belief was pretty general here that
Hill was merely cunning, willy politician
without an5 great ability, and that he had
only the courage Of tho fox. That belief has
beensvery successfully dispelled. He stands
at the present time In the front rank Of the
senators, with a character that 1t would take
some blunders " destroy.
He is q strong, bold speaker. He is mas
ter of pnrlisn entnry tact, and 1t WAS his ags
grcssivcness In insisting upon a change Of the
rules and his persistence In smashing senate
rial idols and dis contempt for mossback ira
dltions that scared the extremes Of both sides
into finally conscnting to an agreement. He
scared the filvcr men becatlsc II they per-
sisted they would change the rules of the
Senate and bring in closure, and then the re;
peal bill wonld pass without any conditions
annexed TO 1t Whatever. He scared some Of
the older -epcalers who are stlcklcrs for sena-
tor,al coIrtesy, prerogativcs and traditions,
and who hate the very name OF closure, and
they bcgcn to yield. His last weeks fight in
the senat.' is very liable 10 result not only In
enhanced Reputation for him, but In Increased
strength in New York among the element
with which he was weak, and perhaps rec
oncillati,n with President Cleveland. A re-
port has reached the Repm6fe correspondent
this cver,ing that It is the intention of Mr..
Cleveland to send for Mr.. Hill after the figh,
| Is over In the Senate and extend the hand OF
amity u him.
VEST AND CoCKRILL,
Senators Vest md Cockrell took an active
part In The proceedings from start to finish.
1t was '!enator Vests speech at the beginning
Of the session that set the pace for the silver
men AID endowed them with courage; 1t was
Senate: Cockrells aggresslvcness and per-
sistencv that prevented many of the Demo
cratic silver men from yielding 10 tho influ.
cnce @: the administration long ago. Soma
tor H,rris, of Tennessee, was the chief parlia-
mentnrIap among tho silver men. Senator
Voorhees,, Of course, with Gray, Mills, Villas
White and Aldrich on the Republican side,
managed the repeal campaign.
The strongest speech made for repeal was
that Of Senator Mills The ablcst for silver
was that Ct Jones Of Nevada, and the most
brilliant Of the ant-rcpeal speeches was that
of Daniel Of Virginia. Cafery OF Louisiana
made n strong address for repeal. Blackburn
Of Kentucky made most able effort against
repeal aDi in favor OF compromise. The
speeches a,ade by Wnlthall Of MississIppi
against reival are considered by some Of the
repeal scna .ors us the best argument In many
why's on that side Of the question. Walthall
always spc,ks well and never comes before
the Senate unprepared.
