Referring to the recent compromise, Mr..
fugh said the Democratic senators had united
| In tho spirit OF compromise and concessions
ana selected an equal number Of senators
from those friendly to unconditional repeal
and those opposed to 1t, and with the knowl-
| edge Of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle that such efforts were being made to
bring Democratic senators together upon
some common ground that could be enacted
| into law. They accomplished that lsadable
undertaking, 50 far rs 70 agree upon . COM
promise that secured the signatures of every
Democratic senator but six. Tho fact was
not considered doubtful that forty-three
Democratic senators would have sanctioned
the compromise bad not President Cleveland
interposed objections and demanded uncondi-
tional repeal at all hazards.
Mr. Pugh was now satisfied that all efforts
at compromise had failed solely on account Of
President Cleveland and his secretary of the
treasury. He was satisfied that he could not
get sufficient number of senators to ioln
him In hlibustering practices and he was
forced to record his vote against this di&boli-
cal measure and appeal 10 tbs people TO or
future.
Mr.. Stewart then resumed his speech.
When he had talked for an hour or so he

Mr.. Jones discussed at length the relations

In conclusion Mr.. Jones said: "The Ro-
man republic, Mr.. President, did not lose its
liberties until the Senate had degenersted In

currently with the absorption of all the pow

dicial, In the hands Of one man. But that
was long time ago. Times change and men

"This is a very different republic from that
of Rome, and although history, we are told,
believe the United States is ever to follow
that OF Rome. However, there is q majority
In this Senate In favor Of repeal. Let mo ad-
monish those senators to pause and reflect
passage; that no condition requires 1t, and
that 1t Is excellent to have n giants strength,
but 1t is tyranny to use 1t like giant" Ap-
