Forty-Third Day.
SENATB-Seuator Stewards resolution de-
clarlng the Independence of the co-ordina-
tion Of the government must be maintained,
and use of power and influence of one de-
partment to control the action of another is
in violation Of the constitution, and destruct-
i've OF our policy and form of government" /"
was taken up, and Mr.. Stewart proceeded to
address the Senate upon 1t. He said the
president, armed with more than hundred
thousand high-paid offices to bestow, with the
veto power, designed only for extraordinary
occasions, backed by concentrated capital
and fattered by the press, turned his face to-
ward the Senate wing of the capitol, and, In
angry and menaclng tones, said II the repre-
sentatives there assembled legIslated In preju-
dice, or In behalf OF sectional and selfish In
terests, the time when the cornerstone was
laid and the circumstances surrounding 1t
would not be worth commemorating. This
declaration, said Mr.. Stewart, which had been
cheered and encouraged by thoughtless
multitude, had been construed by venal press
as rebuke from their president to guilty
from Macaulay's history Of England as to the
parliamentary trouble with the Stuart kings.
Coming to the present time, Mr.. Stewart
charged that the president, In disregard OF
permitted the secretary of the treasury to VI
olate the act which made the purchase Of four
and half million ounces of silver bullion
per mouth mandatory, by exercising an un-
lawful discretion In purchasing smaller
amount.
Mr.. Stewart read the Presidents biography
on the congressional directory, the authen-
tieity Of which could not be questioned.
"At 16 years Of age he became an assistant
teacher in the New York institute for the
at looks now as If he had not gotten entirely
ever that Idea: [Laughterl In 1855 he went
West In search Of employment" continued
the biography; "let us see what his idea of

American herd book. [Laughter.] Upon re-
tiring from the presidency,' the biography
reads, she located In New York City and re-
sumed the practice of law" New York was
= great place to study finance, said Mr.. Stew
art He would there come in contact with
men who knew less than he did.
''lf we would stop the necessity for revolu-
ton and preserve the equilibrium Of the de-
now. The attention of the people must be
called to the aggressions. 1t is the only way
to preserve the Independence of the co-ordi-
nate branches of the government"
The repeal bill was then taken up and Mr..
Don Cameron Of Pennsylvania addressed the
Senate in opposition to It. He defended the
Sherman act and said we needed more silver,
not less. He submitted the following propo-
sitions:
II propose gold loan Of so many hundred
million dollars as Congress may decide, to be
bought At the market rate and held in the
treasury rs the gold reserve held In the Bank
OF France and by the governments of the
Lntip Union. propose to open our mints to
. duty on the import of foreign silver.
vi propose further, to repeal the tar on
state bank circulation. l would also press
once more for action In favor of our shipping.
40 meet In part the deficit In our income of
next year, would re-impose the duty of 3
cents pound on sugar and repeal the bounty.
Then would wait year to see how the sys-
tenn worked and how far we were Affected by
foreign influence"
Mr.. Bate then addressed the Senate against
the repeal bill.

cussion Of the printing bill.
Forty-Fourth Day.
sBNArs.-senator Stewart, at the begin
ming Of the session, called attention to the ab-
sence Of quorum, and tho business of the
day waited until the requisite plumber Of SON
utora arrived. Mr.. Stewart then presented 3
petition adopted at . mass meeting At Cleve-
land asking for An Investigation a. to whether
any senators wero interested in national
banks. Mr.. Dubois Introduced q resolution
that no important measures relating TO finance,
the tariff or the election laws be acted upon

Perkins spoke against the repeal bill. Mr..
Stewart then took the floor and read news
paper charge to the effect that senator's and
members wero Influenced by presidential pat
ronage to vote against silver. Mr.. Palmer
wanted him to name some one who had been
20 Influenced, but Mr.. Stewart thought it en-
ttrely unnecessary. Mr.. Stewart closed his
speech for the day with a passionate indict-
ment Of England a. monster that stalked
through the country breaking down the in-
terests of seven states and territories; that
claimed to direct the legislation OF Congress,
and whose voice had been heard last week on
the cast front Of the capitol rebuking sena-
tors. Mr.. Voorhees, SPOKE briefly in defense
an executive session, the Senate adjourned.

eral election laws, finance and tariff, until
January 10, 1894, because OF senatorial va
cancies in the senatorial representation of
Washington, Montana and Wyoming. was
then taken up, and Mr.. Dubois addressed the
Senate In advocacy Of its adoption. Mr..
Mitchell Of Oregon opposed 1t. MI. Chandler
of New Hampshire alluded to the senators
who had changed their votes on the question
of seating the three appointed senators.
"It may have been," said Mr.. Wolcott,
'tthat some of those claimants for seats In the
Senate would have been admitted had their
politics been different or had the question be-
fore the Senate been different" He spoke of
the efforts of the repeal men to prolong the
sessions in order to tire out the minority.
"We are meeting them fairly as men now and
to see that this question Ii pre-
sented fairly before the country, but we are
not without information that the burden that
is now imposed upon us is to be sought to be
made heavier next week. We are not with
out definite information that an arrangement
certain senators upon this side and certain
senators upon the other side of the chamber,
that 1t is initiated by the senator who Is sup
posed to be the steerer of SO many Demo-
cratic senators as have left their party
platform and have linked themselves with the
fortune Of their executive, and led on this
side of the chamber by the dominant apostle
Of protection-two senators who are supposed
to belong to opposite sides Of the chamber
but who seem now to be sitting very close to-
gether."
Mr.. Aldrich was occupying seat directly
In front Of Mr.. German.
1--WE understand" continued Mr.. Wolcott,
''that we are to be met with demand that
the Senate shall meet at IL O'Clock in the
and sit until night What may be
by this sort of pressure, do
not know, but in view of the fact that vote
may be had on the previous question, do
know that any attempt to harass q body of
men who believe this question to be Of the
most vitel Importance and who desire to In
terpose every honorable obstacle TO the final
