YER States Of the West.
Mr.. Cockrell, (Dem., Mo- argued
I that at the last election the tariff ques-
I tion aud not the financial question had
! been pressed TO the front. On it the
Democratic party secured victory.
Mr.. Carey, rep, WyOmng,) de-
I Tended his position on the bill. He then
referred TO the speech OF Mr. Wolcott,
on Saturday, in which WolcOtt said that
/ be was advised Wyoming desired re-
peal, and that the Senator from Min
uesota (Mr. Washburne) had made
Droffer OF the vote of the Senator from
Wyoming and his authority was not
questioned.
THAT, indeed, said Mr.. Carey, 'fs
offensive, ana l do not see how any
Senator could rest under the imputation
I thst another Senator bad proffered his
vote / did not take otfeuse at what
I Senators said in the heat Of debate, but
A GENTLEMAN WHO RETIRED
! from the world, who prepares his ad-
Z dress, commits 10 20 memory and then
recitss IL with great dramatic effect,
with q change Of costume az each time
I Uaugnter), should have considered as
I far as / was concerned my rights In
this matter, aud should not have at
( tempted 20 place me in this position. l
| have never prOffered my vote In this
I body, aud l never shall" Mr.. Carey
said ne should vote for unconditional
repeal although he favored eompro-
mise.
NIr. Wolcott (Rep. CoIo.) then rose
| 70 reply 90 Mr.. Carey. He said: There
I had been a suspicion that the Senate
having deprived the State Of one Sena-
tor. botn had departed and
/ the State was represented by
proxy living in the State
OF Minnesota" referring 10 Mr.
. Warhburrl. Mr.. WOcott read the
/ original source OF the remark which he
. bad uate-a debate occurring s0ma-
I tI.-9 Or, in which Mr. Wast1ufn s.-.ed
/ that Mr carey had told him that be
would vote f0r unconditional repeaD
"At the time that statement was
made" said Mr. WoIcott, 1.-THE Senator
1 from Wyoming sat quietly 10 ms seat
rs N be were lamb being led
90 slaughter, willing that Senator
from a State 1900 miles away should
answer for him and his people on tais
great burning question, in which every
man. woman and child ia his State is
v.rUy interested. From thar day TO
this the Senator from Wyoming has
seea Gt 70 give no utterance upon this
su1iect."
..It was fitting that I should refer TO
the position OF the Senator from Wyom-
iug Here apparently stood this new,
Young commonwealth, whose people l
kn1w are unanimously in favor OF free
aad unlimited coinage Of silver, repre-
seutsd ia this body by Seuator, who
not only said no word, but permitted a
member from an adjoining State
TO DECLARE HIS POSITION.
s.If the Senator from Wyoming is con-
tent with his position, have no objec-
tion 10 make To 10. leave him tC bis
constituents. he may be contented
with his vote. leave him to deal with
the people who sent him here.
"Mr. President, the Senator has seen
40 90 refer 20 my apparel. There are
men TO whom clean linen is an Offense.
/ regret that the Senator from WyOm-
ing is one OF them. l owe the Senate
40 apology for interrupting this debate;
for seeming 70 stOop so low as TO even
notice allusion Of the petty character OF
THAI made by the Senator from Nyom-
ing. There has been enough said on
that subject. There is Spanish
uroyerb that fits the case: "It is
waste OF lsther 20 shave an ass" APP
plause and laughter in the galleries.
MIR. Carey said: Il have no apology
DO make Co the Senate, for l try to keep
within the bounds OF propriety. l
make no claims 10 oratory. make no
claims 20 being person who can inter
est galleries. Ihave never gone outside
the Senate and requested the doorkeep-
er 90 send Ia cards when l was deliver
Iug an address to this body"
He then read from a magazine article
discussing the silver question, SEN
tence 70 the effect that it was believed
there bad been a trade Of votes by
which the Senators from the silver
States had voted against the Force bill
i'm return for votes TO be cast in favor OF
free coinage.
81 want to state distinctly" said Mr..
Harris Dem. Tenn "irOm the stand
po,nt Of one of a committee OF Demo
cratic Senators that there never was
an understanding OF agreement. Such
statement IS the Senator has just
made deserves TO be branded and
rise for the purpose OF branding 1t as an
utter ialsehOod.
81 did not make the statement, dis
claimed Mr.. Carey.
"For what purpose did the Senator
l-a1 M fNorrfa
Mr.. Teller, referring TO Mr. Carey's
imputatiOn Of q trade between silver
Republicans and the Force bill Demo-
Gratis, SHid:
FL denv that there was n trade or ar
rangemcnt. or understanding directly
or Indirectly, or in any other way.
There is no truth in the statement, and
In my Judgment the Senator from Wy
om.nz knew it when he made the
charge
Mr.. PETER, Pop, KanSas,) said he
desired 10 occupy fifteen minutes be-
fore the vote was taken, as he would
not feel that he had done his duty did
ne not enter another protest. against
what he considered the crowning in
fanny OF the present century.
MEANS DECENTRALIZATION.
Mr.. Harris, Dem, TennesSeel, de-
clares that the passage of the repeal
bill meant unmistaksbiy the utter de-
monetization Of silver as money metal.
He characterized as supremely absurd
that toe American Senate, representing
1000, 600 people, Ia leEislating should
consult the ideas or policies Of foreign
countries.
II want to state 10 the Senator from
Indians and the balance OF the world, "
sand MIR Harris. "that the time has not
