Mr.. voorhees, defended himself from ad-
Narse criticism IN the management OF the
III by showing th5 impossibility under the
rules of making greater husts. He asked
hat day be fixed for ii final vote
Mr.. Dutojs republican, Ohio az repre-
tentative OF the sIvor men objected in
bitter speech, dsfying Mr.. Voorhees, to force
the ssus.
In reply Mr.. VOORHEES, said there was no
Use of taking ooture as the discussion Of
inst proposition wouli take up al the time
OF this and the next Congress. He, there
fore, gave notice that tomorrow he would
AK the Senate TO remain in session longer,
perhaps Mt night.
IN reply &c MIR. Dubois, Mr.. Hoar said
that he would b. found to be consistent at
a.l times, a good republican. Turning
10 Mr. voorhees, Mr.. Hoar referred to the
Forco bill and uttered what was taken to
be threat. He thought it necessary that
somei thing should be done to permit the
minority OF the Senate to take vote.
MIR. Iiatt gave notice of a cloture resolu-
non which lie had read al the clerks desk.
Mr. Teller said that IL the senator in
Df no

tended 20 speak, Is of whom had not opened
their mouths. II he wanted night sessions
Nr Teller warned him that the friends OF
repeal must be present, too. Ho said the
benator from Indiana would ne yer be able
TO get day hxel for the vote 1t would
only be taken after debate was ended. end
holding night sessions would net i'm prove
the conditions of the bill or advance it one
hour.
Mr. Mills next took the floor and said the
sherman law was an unwise law. and as
such should be repealed. 1t had been said
in tlis debate that according to the presi-
DENT We stood face to face with bi-metal-
Ism against single gold standard. That
atemrnt was rot accurate. The president
had rot made the issue. The president stood
squ.rely with both feet on the platform OF
u :
ready to execute the pledges which his
party had made the people, The men who
were attacking the president were the men
who re Off the platform.
Mr.. Illls then proceeded to argue that
bi-n''o!lism could not exist when the
lntrlnslc value and money value was not
precisely the same. He was in favor eff tue
freq and unlimited coinage of gold and sill
yer but free and unlimited coinage must
result in bi-metallsm. Aud bi-metallism
would not be the result if the United States
o!on' Of all nations opened her mints to
coinage. He said he could not conceive
ot any amendment TO the repeal bill that
could be offered that would not impeach the
integrity of the president and he would vote
against every one.
Nh stewart then took the floor. lie
protested against any cloture pronositio1.
Before he concluded his remarks he vielded
for al executive session. When tho doors
