The herald., 1893-10-31

at which time Voorhees, on Saturday
expressed the hope that the vote on the
passage of the bill would be had, many
representatives entered the chamber
and found seats on the sofas in the rear
of the senatorial chairs.
NOTHING TO LOOK TO.
Morgan concluded his written re-
marks at 2:40. He left the subject, he
said, with the knowledge that the die
was cast. The senate, house and presi-
dent had determined that the pending
measure should prevail. There was
nothing now to look to, so far as he
could see, but some vague promises
made in the senate which were entirely
incapable of being realized.
DEsoLATIoN OF THE WEST.
Vest followed Morgan. lie expressed
sympathy with the people of the silver
states, and said no czar or kaiser would
desolste an insurrectionary province as
congress was about to desolate tt silver
states OF the west.
THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Cockrell Democrat of Missouri) said
at the last election the tariff question
and not the financial question was
pressed to the front and the Democratic
party secured victory. Now that the
election was over, tariff was lost sight OF,
and the senior senator from New York
(Hill) was beheld pitching to the front
on the silver question. Cockrell re-
viewed at great length the history of the
repeal bill in the house and senate.
The bill WAS to pass, said he. 1t had
been taken out of the hands OF the
Democracy, and the Republican sena-
tors had to be consulted before any
thing could be done. and the Repuhli-
can party would be infinitely more
responsible for unconditional repeal
than the Democratic party. If the re-
peal of the Sherman law failed to restore
prosperity, the Republican party must
bear the responsibility.
Carey, Republican, OF Wyoming, de-
Tended his position on the repeal bill.
He then referred to the speech Of VOL
colt, Saturday, in which be said he was
advised that Wyoming desired repeal,
and that the senator from Minnesota
(Washburn) had made proffer of the
vote OF the senator from Wyoming, and
bis authority was notquestioned. Carey
resented this statement, and made some
bhhiP pCloOhol ICiCIChCCp W w
In conclusion Carey said ne should vote
for unconditional repeal, although he
favored compromise.
CAREY GETS A ROASTING.
Wolcott replied in an equally caustic
manner. He read a statement made
some time ago in which Washburn
stated that Carey had told him he would
vote for unconditional repeal. "At the
time that statement was made" said
Wolcott. "the senator from Wyoming sat
quietly in his seat and from that day
until this has seen fit to give no utter
ance upon the subject. Here, appar.
emily, stood this young commonwealth,
with its people unanimously in favor OF
free and unlimited coinage Of eilver,
represented in this body by a senator
who not only said no word nor permitted
a senator from an adjoining state to de-
fine his position. If the senator from
Wyoming 10 content with his position |
have no objection to make. 1leave nim
to his commitments"
Carey having said in his remarks that
Wolcott etrove after effect and changed
his costume with each speech, etc.,
Wolcott replied hotly: There are some
men to whom clean linen is an offense."
He regretted the senator from Wyoming
was one of them. He apologized to the
senate for stopping to such personal
allusion, and said there is Spanish
proverb that fits the case: cit is waste
of lather to shave an ass"
GALLERIES CALLED TO ORDER.
This provoked great laughter in the
galleries, and the vice president adj
monished the occupants. Carey replied
in a warm manner, charged Wolcott
with abandoning his party in the last
campaign, and said the trouble with
Wolcott and his people had besn that
they attempted to interfere in the affairs
of his (Carey's) people, instead OF look
ing after their own. He Carey had q
letter from reputable citizen OF Color
ado, saying that if he voted against free
coinage the inhusnce and money Of that
state would be ueed to ruin him. Carey
also quoted from q manazine article on
silver sentence about trade by which
the senators from the silver states voted
against the force bill in return for votes
to be cast for free coinage.
Harris (Dem.) of Tennessee hotlv
branded this statement about his posi-
tion as false. He said he considered it
dishonorable for q senator to use such
terms with reference TO colleague.
Teller also asserted that the statement
was false, and declared that Carey knew
it to be false.
Butler DEM of South Carolina called
upon Manderson OF Nebraska, who
called him to order several days ago for
words spoken in debate with Hill, to
call Carey to order.
Manderson replied: "The senator
from South Carolina is SO pugilistc in
his tendencies that [ leave this fight to
him."
Washburn characterized the statement
that he had proffered Carey'a vote as
absurd.
Dubois regretted that Carey did not
represent his people, but knew the SEN
ator was following his conscience in do
ing what he thought was right.
Pasco called for the reading of his
Substitute of which notice was given Sat
urday.
Stewart offered al amendment reduc-
ing the gold in gold coins 25 per cent.
but accepted negative verdict without
calling for the yeas and nays.
A SLIGHT INTERRUPTION.
Pasco yielded, while Gray presented a
report on the Chinese extension bill.
White asked that it be made special
srder for Wednesday.
