not carry out our pledges in reference
to the tariff or to the election laws as
there Is for stating that we will not
carry out all our pledges in regard to
silver. AS soon as this repeal meas
ure is adopted l trust that the
laWmaking powers of the government
will enter the consideration of this SUBJ
Ject. and the members of this house
will put forth every effort in their
power to Investigate thoroughly and
afterwards TO formulate properly such
measure as will meet fully the ex-
pectations of the American people upon
this subject. He who falters in that
work will receive the just cOndelnna-
ton of his constituents. Ii the falter-
ing be upon this floor; if there be MEM
berS who shall be recreant to this
trust, they will find very soon that the
places that know them will know them
no more forever. Some have urged
that President Cleveland will not CO.
operate with the representatives of the
people upon this subject; that he will
not sign his name TO measure giving
relief to the people and carrying out
our pledge TO make the largest possible
use of gold and silver as part
of the money of the country.
Ii it be that he will prove fales
to his trust, it would better for him
that millstone were tied about his
neck, and that be we're cast into the
sea. L do not believe that any gentle
man upon this floor contempiates such
treason. | do not believe for moment
that Grover Cleveland would in the
slightest respect prove false to the
pledges he has made. At no time in
the past has he shown disposition to
Shirk from the responsibilities of his
position or to go back Oh his solemn
pledges to the people. l believe that
the representatives of the people upon
this floor, the Democratic party as rep
resented in the senate, and the presi-
dent of the United States will unite in
making good the promises that we made
to the people, and upon which he Sc
cured the selection of large majority
OF this house, a majority i'll the senate,
and an unprecedented majority of the
electoral college i'll behalf of the candi-
dates of the Democratic party.

Then MIR. Bynum rose to a question
of personal privilege, and said: "Y eS-
terday, jocularly. L made a remalk
which possibly might have been con

tertalned in manner that untitled me
to make a speech. My remarks were
locular, and the gentleman knows that
was as sober as any man in Denver
that night"
Mr.. Pence-I have said so; and 1 went

Mr.. Bynum-Then you should not
