summed Up by Voorhees,.
1.-THE adjournment of this Iong-to-be-
remembered session of congress brings
with Ii a great sense of relief"
Senator voorhees, had been asked by
an Associated Press representative for
an interview aud it was with the above
statement he began. Continuing he said:
1--WE met amidst the crash of business
disasters, bank failures, and all the dis
tressful Incidents of one of the worst
financial panics ever known in this or
IN other country; we adjorn with quiet
business circles, and a fair degree of re-
stored confidence prevails in all parts of
the country. 1t will, of course, take time
for the various business pursuits to fully
recover from the overwhelming financial
shock aud depression which have af-
tiicted the country for the last six months,
but the signs of healthy Improvement are
now visible on every hand and good Omens
Tor the employment Of labor cheer us
from all quarters"
When requested 10 state his views
about future legislation, the senator only
consented to say: With a careful, fair
and honest revision of the tariff taxation
now 10 follow at the regular session, only
thirty days distant, l predict that we will
enter upon a solid and lasting career of
prosperity for the laboring and producing
masses, of every section of our beloved
Union
Reviewing the events of the session he
said: I'm looking back over the incidents
ana scenes which marked the session iuss
closed, | have nothing but pleasant and
kindly lettings toward all. / attribute
my euccess in the management of my hin
TO the fact that while firm and uncompro
missing in pushing it forward. / aimed at
all times 10 he patient, liberal and fair
towards every member of the senate.
and L am now thoroughly convinced hat
a contrary course would have
Resulted I'm Defeat. )
/ believe such is the opinion also of ey.
cry senator; very many of them have per.
sonally so assured me-"
Asked whether be ever felt any doubt
or the success of repeal. Mr.. Voorhees,
said: The darkest hour for the bin
was when Senator Sherman's famous in.
tefYIey came out n month ago, in which
he encouraged its enemies and discour-
aged its friends by declaring in the
strongest terms shat unconditional re-
peal could never pass the senate. | felt
that blow more than any other in the
long contest, and in my judgment ii pro.
longed the fight at least two weeks more
than IL would otherwise have done. Mr..
sherman was very anxious for a compro-
mise embracing the issue of bonds. and
that was the meaning and purpose of his
strong speech in the senate when he ar.
raigned the Democratic side of the
chamber for having so long delayed an eff
fort to compromise. All these utter.
ances and dismal predictions on the part
of the acknowledged leader of the Repub-
iican party could have but one eff
feet. They encouraged Mr.. Teller, Mr..
Dubois and their allies to fight on, and
they chilled and dampened the hope and
zeal of many staunch supporters OF the
bill. | have very great respect for Mr..
Shcrman's high ability and for him per.
sonally, but / have never believed. and do
not now that he had any real liking for
the bill, CT that he desired its enactment
into iaW unless TX carried an anleuument
providing for the issuance of q goodly
supply of government bonds. / do not,
however, desire TO indulge in a word of
criticism of any one, and | gladly bear
testimony to the kind, untiring, faithful
support which the bill received from the
large body of Republican senators wis
finally gave it their votes"
Said Mr.. Voorhees, in reply to a ques-
ton: "On the Democratic side Of the
chamber, while there were strong differ
ences OF opinion, / do not know Of q
single unfriendly feeling left by the pro
tracted discussion. Neither party organE
cation nor friendly relations have been
disturbed. We viii take up our work Cd
the tariff and other great questions wren
We meet here in December as ii nothing
had happened 10 mar our peace wlth one
another or to impair our strength for the
puhlic good. Our faith in the present
able and thoroughly patriotic administra'
tion has never ben stronger than now
and. TO my mind, the future wearsa
bright and promising aspect.
