from Ohio" said Mr.. Cockrell, AFTER
twenty years bringinga Democratic ad.
ministration back to his law OF 1873"
Mr.. Cockrell closed with the state
ment that il the repeal OF the Sherman
law failed to restore prosperity the Re-
publican party must bear the response
bility.
Mr.. CAREY.
Mr.. Carey (Rep., Wyol defended his
position on the repeal bill. He then
referred to the speech OF Mr.. Wolcott
on Saturday, in which he said that he
was advised Wyoming desired repeal,
and that the senator from Minnesota
tMr. Washburne) had made proHer Of
the vote OF the senator from Wyoming,
and his authority was not questioned
THAT indeed" said Mr.. Carey, sis
offensive and do not see how any sem
ator could rest under the imputRtioR
that another senator had proffered his
vote. did not take ofIense at what
senators said in the heat OF debate, but
gentleman who retires from the world,
who prepares his address, commits it to
memory and then recites it with great
dramatic effect, with a change OF cos.
tune at each time laughterl, should
have considered as far ms | was con-
cerHed my rights in this matter and
should not have attempted to place me
in this position. Ihave never protered
my vote in this body and never shall"
Mr.. Carey said he should vote for un:
conditional repeal, although he favored
compromise.
Mr.. Wocott had said to him that he
desired no compromise, and If the SEN
ators from the silver states went home
empty handed it was their own fault.
Mr.. Wolcott (Rep. Col.,) then rose to
reply to Mr.. Carey. He said: There
had been u suspicion that the senate,
having deprived the state Of one sena-
tor, both had departed and the state was
represented by a proxy living in the
state of. Minnesota" (referring to Mr..
Washburn.) Mr.. Wolcott read the orig
inal source OF the remark which he had
made-a debate. occurring some time
ago in which Mr.. Washburn stated that
Mr.. Carey had told him that he would
vote for unconditional repeal.
"At the time that statement was
made" said Mr.. WolCott. 'the senator
from Wyoming sat quietly in his seat
as if he were lamb being led to slaugh-
ter, willing that senator from state
1000 miles away should answer for him
and his people on this great burning
question, in which every man, woman
and child in his state is vitality inter-
ested. From that day to this the som
tor from Wyoming has seen fit to give
no utterance upon this subject.
1T was fitting that should refer to
the position OF the senator IRON Wyom-
ing. Here apparently stood this new,
young commonwealth, whose people l
know are unanimously in favor OF free
and unlimited coinage OF silver, repre-
sented in this body by senator who
not only said no word, but permitted a
senator from all adjoining state to de-
clare his position.
"If the senator from Wyoming is con-
tent with his position, have no objec-
ton to make to it. leave him to his
constituents. He may be contented
with his vote. l leave him to deal
with the people who sent him here"
HIS SENSITIVE POINT.
"AIr. President, the senator has seen
fit to refer to my apparel. There are
men to whom clean tiuen is an ottense.
| regret that the senator from Wyoming
is one OF them, ! owe the senate an
apology for interrupting this debate;
for seeming TO stoop SO low as to even
notice an allusion OF the petty charac-
ter OF that made by the senator from
Wyoming. There has been enough said
on that subject. There is a Spanish
proverb that fits the case: ut Is a
waste OF lather to shave an ass" Ap-
plause and laughter in the galleries.
The Vice President admonlshed the
occupants OF the galleries.
Mr.. Carey said: 81 have no apology
to make to the senate, for | try to keep
within the bounds OF ofpropriety. | make
no claims to oratory. make no claims
to being person who can interest gal
leries have never gone outside OF the
senate and requested the doorkeepers
TO send in no cards when was deliver
ing an address to this body. | am not
ambitious to occupy the position which
the gentleman holds in the senate or
anywhere else, nor shall use language
or attempt to use language with view
OF annoying him, or with view OF en-
barrassing this body OF which | am n
member. The trouble with the senator
and the trouble with his people has
been that they have attempted to inter-
fere in the affairs OF my people instead
OF looking after their own affairs.
THE LIE GIVEN.
Mr.. Carey said Mr.. Wolcott had aban-
doned his party in tho last campaign.
He was aware, he said, that everything
had been done in that state to excite
the people OF Wyoming against him
(Mr. Carey). He had letter from a
reputable citizen OF Colorado, saying
that ii he voted against free coinage
the influence and money OF that state
would be usod to ruin him. He then
read from q magazine article discussing
tine silver question, q sentence to the
effect that it was believed there had
been trade of votes by which the sen.
ato-s from the silver states had voted
against the force bill in return for votes
to be cast in favor OF free coinage."
81 want to state distinctly" said Mr..
Harris Dem, Tenn. iron the stand
point of one OF u committee Of Demo
cratic senators that there never was an
understanding of agreement between
Democratic senators and senators from
the silver states that any single vote
