publieans. He assumed it meant a radical
reconstruction of the financial policy Of the
country. He did not see how the party in
the next campaign could ask the support
of the people unless it dealt with the none

expressed amaZement that Republican
Senators should tie their hands by voting
against resolutions calling for information
which was never denied during q Rebuilt

attempt to refer such resolutions TO the
Committee on Finance. and it was well. for
the interest of the dominant party would
be best subserved by their remaining there.
The resolution was adopted.
The repeal bill was taken up, and Hoar
read an editorial from the Peoria Qn)
Journal relative to the controversy over
the part taken by Ernest Seyd of England
in the legislation of 1873. The Journal

from Hooper's speech in the House to con-

would be guilty of no improper conduct in
connection with the statement

hour.
Then PETER addressed the Senate. He
read the Presidents letter to Governor
NOrthen of Georgia, and said it did not
dissipate the confusion in the public mind
as to the Presidents real opinion on mon
etary questions. He might be monomet-
allist and might be bmetaliist, but there
was nothing to show in the letter what
kind of metallist he was.
Whenever the administration, repre-
sented by its friends upon this floor" de-
clared PETER, sis ready to accept the
pending amendment or some other amend
ment which will bring about restor alton
of the law of 1887. it can pass the repeal
bill in twenty-five minutes"
