On the Head of the Maine Stntesman-
Who Is Told in Effect That the Demo-
cratic senate Leader VIII Run Things
without Assistance From the "Other
side"-An Incident Full of Acid as TO
One Participation Therein.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-There was n
feature in the senate debate on the repeal
bill in which Voorhees, displayed not a
little temper in a colloquy with Hale-and
feature in the senate is hailed with sat
isfaction by readers of congressional news.
The first speech on the repeal was made
by Faulkner, who while willing to go
long way with the president was unwill-
ing to VOC for repeal without provision
for the coinage of from $4,000 to 500. 600
silver dollars of the daddy" kind. Then
Turpie took the floor and gave his view of
the way to solve the problem. He gave
the history of money for the last 100 years,
TO begin with
Tariff for Revenue Only.
He wanted silver demonetized and said:
1--WE are about to approach an era of COM
mercial liberty unknown to us for a gen
Grafton. An era in which commerce with
all nations Save for the necessary i'm
ports laid upon it for revenue) will be free
as the ocean which bears it, The restor,.-
ton of the silver dollar-the remonetiZa-
ton of slver-will be great reforms, but
how shall these compare with the restitu-
ton of freedom of the ballot2 That free
dom has been assailed. Millions of dol
lars at every presidential election extorted
from the people by unjust taxation have
haa Id IL Il
franchise. This malefficient dynasty of
fraud and force is now entering the valley
of deaths shadow. 1t is soon to be de-
throned.h
voorhees, Asks for Vote.
Jones of Arkansas spoke against the re-
peal bill and would resist its passage as
long as possible unless it were coupled
with free silver provision. After he was
through, no one arising TO speak, Voorhees,
said he hoped the senate would not adjourn
early, and if no senator wanted to speak
he would ask for a vote on the repeal bill.
Hale hoped that the senator from Indi
ana would not consent 10 an immediate
adjournment. The senator, after having
gwen up the II O'Clock proposition, found
himself also in danger of losing the full
morning hour. He therefore called his at
tention TO the fact that he was being cut
down to very slender thread of time to
be consumed in speechmaking on the bill.
Hale Tries to Hurry voorhees,.
There had been no attempt to cut of
debate, but the time for debate had been
cut down unSil instead of five or six hours
there was only three or four. The senate
had been in session for six weeks entirely
on this bill and he suggested that the
sittings should be heightened. He knew
the senator from Indiana did not eniov
the delay, and large majority of senators
had upheld his hands. The Republicans
had made few speeches and were ready to
vote and urging that action He did not
desire to have the senator from Indiana
crowd and force matters in an offensive
way; bat he did ask him to hold the sem
ate to what had heen always its rule and
to see to it that debate should not be so
spread out and attenuated until every
current Of action was turned away and
came to nothing.
Who Is Impatient and Angry
Voorhees-who had listened to these re-
marks with unconcealed impatience and
anger-rose to reply to them. He said
that the zeal of the senator from Maine
had been manifested very early in the ses
sion His desire to assist the senator from
Indiana was deeply appreciated. 1t would
be more appreciated, however, if the sena-
tor from Maine had been in his seat more
than one of the six weeks of the session
he desired to say to that senator and tn
all concerned that the senator from Iudi-
ana expected to discharge his duty as he
understood it, and in a way for which he
would answer to the country. 1.-THE sena-
tor from Maine has taken a monopoly of
direction, of lecturing, of dictation (if !
may use such term)"
