Stewart reiterated that the charge had
been made in the papers.
ssWill the senator name single

Stewart. and then, as II disgusted, ex.
claimed: "0h, pshsw" and asked
Palmer II he would vote for resolution
authorizing an investigation OF the

Palmer said he would when Stewart
would make charges against any senator
or member of the house.
vi do not want to confine 1t to one
senator or member said Stewart, amid
laughter. "Investigate if you dare"
II will" replied Palmer; whenever
the senator brings forward charges

of his executive in denying these whole

THE EXAMINERS ARTICLE.
Stewart then read long article from
the San Francisco Examiner comment
ing upon the course of the president.
Stewart closed his speech with pas
sionate indictment of England as q
monster that stalks through the country
breaking down the interests of seven
states and territories; that claimed
direct legislation of congress and whose
voice had been heard last week on the
east front of the capitol rebuking the
senate.
MORGAN MAKES AN EXPLANATION.
Morgan rose to personal explanation,
referring to an article in the New York
Times today, that no honorable Demo-
crat could listen TO that part of Senator
Stewart's speech criticising the presi-
dent and continue to act with him in
obstruction to repeal. ''Unleas, as we
fear" the article continues, sis the
case with Senator Morgan, he is 30 inn
placable and unreasonable an enemy OF
the president that he subordinate5 the
highest question OF privilege and public
interest to the qualification of public
revenge" Morgan said he was very
happy to state that between the presi-
dent and himself there existed the most
cordial personal relations. They had
always existed and he hoped they ever
would. He thought he differed with
him upon no question vital to the coun-
try or to the Democratic party.

silence on this side of the chamber by
stating that it has not been thought
necessary to say single word in defense
of Grover Cleveland. have reason to
believe that on the other side of the
chamber and all over the county his
defense has been fully made by the
American people themselves. What

may have found of fault in his career,

in that way. Whatever OF criticism the
senator from Nevada may have INDUCED
in, the American people have not
shared that criticism of him. Nobody

the fact that we will not feel called up.

thing far more important may be
charged against him than has been up

After short executive session the
senate adjourned.
