silver men, IN having frequent calls OF

ipess men Of a town in Colorado for the
repeaI OF the Mckinley act and the sub
mission later by the same Senator OF
resolution FOR information as to the
amount paid in bOunties 20 the produc-
e ers OF maple sugar emphasizes the posi-
tion that Senator took IN his recent
spsech, that If the Sherman act were
repealed he say no reason why tne
measure which bears the Dame OF
Ohfo's Governor should not
MEET THE SAME FATE.
Mr.. Wolcott is evidently laying a
foundation TO carry out that view.

nass man OF Durango, Colorado, pray

Mr.. Gallingher (Rep. New Hamp-
shire,) suggested the resolution be

Mr.. Walcott replied in acrimonious
tone that be was able to prepare his

Mr.. Stewart, Republican, Nevada
who was entitled TO the door, read
from the New York World, which he
said gave the law TO the Senate. The
Senate should DO grateful 10 Mr.. Pulit-

He was especially adapted to perform
that function by reason OF the fact that
he was born In Europe and now
resided there. Laughter. The

Referring TO President Cleveland,
Mr.. Stewart said il was sad thing for
the American people that in his early
life and riper manhood he had not been
surrounded as Andrew Jackson had
been by the producing classes,
by the laboring men and the
farmers, that he might sym
pathize with them. Mr.. Cleveland was
reared in the city; his office was In the
Mills building in New York, the very
center 10 the United States OF European
influence. He sympathiZed with his
surroundings, and his surroundings
were unfortunate for the American
neople. Mr.. Cleveland's organs said |
