TIE REPEAL BILL.
The representatives of Republican
states had foisted upon the Democratic
party nominee who did not represent
il. That was unjust. unfair, undemo-
cratic and Irregular, and now it was
hagrantly wrong Tor that nominee TO
use the Republican party to pass laws
that meant ruin ana destruction to the
poorer classes of the South and West.
/ The people of South Carolina wanted a
revision of tariff. but they were more
/ willing that that and other public ques-
/ items should be Telegated TO the rear for
quarter Of a century than TO see the
/ financial question settled as proposed
! by the administration.
Mr.. ITby said he would not be cOeTced.
/ He despised the patr onage. which had
/ been so ruJnleSSiy withheld from 80 per
! cent OF the honest Democrats of his
/ state. II it were necessary to over
/ power Democrats with Republican
votes in the senate he dared 10 tell Dem
/ Ocrauc senators that they could not re-
( wise the tariff. This. he said. was not
as threat. but with reluctance and deep
/ regret. II the Democratic admInlStra-

/ OVerruIeS the wishes OF South Carolina
I on the financial question he for one
would not follow its lead another step.
/ As for himself he would not accept any
/ compromise short OF the free coinage of
/ silver at ratio of Is 10 l.
The joint resolution permitting the
/ state OF Wisconsin To place a statute OF
/ Pere Marquette in Statuary nall. of the
+ national capital, was taken up and
passed.
/ Mr.. COckrell then resumed the floor
/ on the repeal bill.
/ III the present administration" said
/ Mr.. COckrell, was attempting 10 force
/ upon the country the principle that sill
yer dollars were to be
REDEEMED IN GOLD
! II was not Democracy. If 1t was shown
to be true he would say. Halt, halt
The people are not ready for that. They
VIII never sanction II.
Mr.. COckrell concluded with a refer
ence TO the presidents letter 10 Gov.
NOrtheu.
The president was fearful of the
/ delay, but this was not extraordinary.
for but one man III public life had more
unfultilled predictions than Mr.. CIeYe-
land. and that man was john Sherman;

After some routine business Mr.. Al
len Pop, Neb.) took the floor to con-
tinue his speech.
Mr.. Allen was still speaking when. at
6:O5 O'Clock. Mr.. Dubois rep. Idaho)
! rose, ana Mr.. Allen yielding 10 him. ne
| observed that it was o O'Clock. the hour
| when the senate usually adjourned. He
asked the senator from Indiana (Foor-
hees) whether he was going TO make
| that motion this evening.
Il feel it to be my highest duty" said
Mr. Voorhees,, mot to make that motion
this evening, but on the contrary to ask
the senate to stay together in continuous
session until the pending measure is
disposed or
Mr.. Dubois said the statement of the
senator from Indiana meant that the
senate was to be held in continuous
session until the pending bill was
brought TO a vote. or until it was
demonstrated that 1t could not be
brought to a vote. Mr.. Dubois SAID
there had been no attempt at filibuster-
ing on the part of the Opponents of
repeal. On the many roll calls that had
been had in the last few weeks. more
senators friendly TO silver responded TO
their names than
ANTI-SILVER MEN.
There had not been time when the
opponents of repeal could not have
stopped the business of the senate by
simply refraining from voting. There
were. he said. thirty-nine senators VINO
favor unconditional repeal and would
so vote. In addition to this the
country had been drifting steadily
to the silver side OF the con-
troversy. In conclusion Mr.. Dubois
said: You know as we'll when you
state as you will know when you emerge
from the struggle, that you must fail.
With conditions as they exist IN the
senate there is no hope OF radical legis-
latiOn. You are as likely to pass bill
for the free coinage of silver as TO ab
SOlutely destroy silver. 1t looks as
though you were trying to convince
some outside of this chamber OF some
thing which you yourself know. Ever
if you succeed in convincing these out
side parties. the result Will not just
! ify the ordeal which you will compe
) senators TO undergo. If you conclude
, ! TO abandon appeals 10 reason and sense
and o risk a settlement of this grea
question TO a test of which side car
stand the most punishment, we desire
to give notice now that we shall protec

We Will insist that you furnish the
