Summed Up by Voorhees,.
''The adjournment of this long-to-be-
remembered session of congress brings
with il great sense OF relief.
Senator Voorhees, had been asked by
a A Associated Press rpnrpSpur1tlYp Tor
an interview and it was with the above
statement he began Continuing he said:
We met amidst the crash of business
disasters, bank failures, aud all the dis
tressful incidents of one OF the worst
financial paBies ever known III this or
any other country; We aaj0rn with qnles
business circles, and a fair degree of re-
stored confidence prevails III al parts or
the country Ii will. of course take tine
fer the various business pursuits to fully
recover from the overwhelming financial
shock and depression which have af-
d5.tni the country for the last six months,
, tho signs Of healthy Improvement are
HN visible en- every hand and good omens
for the employment of Labor cheer us
from all quarters.
When requested to state his views
about future legislation. the senator only
consented to say: With a careful, fair
and honest revision of the tariff taxation
now 10 follow AT the regular session, only
thirty days distant, | predict that we will
enter upon il solid and lasting career OF
prosperity for the lahoring and producing
masses Of every section Of our beloved
Union.
Reviewing the events Of the session he
said In looking back over the incidents
aud scenes which marked the session just
closed, | have nothing Init pleasant and
kindly feelings toward all | attribute
my success in the management of my bill
to the fact that while firm and nncompro-
missing in pushing it forward. | aimed at
all times to he patient. liberal and fair
towards every member of the senate,
and | am now thoroughly convinced that
contrary course would have
Resulted In Defeat.
/ believe such is the opinion also Of ev
cry senator, very many OF them have per
sonally SO assured me.
Asked whether he ever felt any doubt
of the success OF repeal, Mr. Na0rhees
said: ".lhe darkest hour for the bill
was when Senator Shermans famous in
terview came ont month ago. III which
he encouraged its enemies and dlscour-
aged its friends by declaring IN the
strongest terms that unconditional re-
peal could never pass the senate. ! felt
that blow more than any other In the
long contest. aud in my Judgment II pro-
longed the fight 1T least two weeks more
than it would otherwise have done. alr
Sherman was very anxious TOR compro
mise embracing the issue of bonds and
that was the meaning and purpose OF his
strong speech in the senate when ne ar
raiyned the Democratic side of the
chn lnber for having 50 long delayed an ef-
fort to compromise. All these. utter
ances and dismal predictions on the part
OF the acknowledged leader OF the hepun

fe,.t i'hev encouraged Mr.. Teller, Ar:
Dubois and their allies TO fight on and
