Washington, October 10.-Mr. McPher
son argued in favor of the silver purchase
repeal bill in the Senate today, COM
menting severely upon the dilatory action
Of the Senate and defending President
Cleveland's course in calling the extra
ordinary session of Congress. He said:
Any proposition, under existing condi-
tions, which involves the continued issue
of silver currency payable in gold by the
government even though the said issue
be reduced in quantity, only serves to
perpetuate the vicious system which we
hope to abandon He asserted that not
a single vote would be changed by this
long debate. ~
Mr.. Cockrell resumed his argument be-
gun yesterday against the repeal bill. He
set out to prove that any international
monetary agreement with European
nations was impossible now. He also
sought to show that Mr.. Sherman was en-
titled to the credit ct being thea Of
the single gold standard in the United
States Mr.. Cockrell spoke five hours
and then, without coming to an end,
yielded the floor.
After an executive session, the Senate
adjourned.
