St. Paul daily globe., 1893-10-31

ment tnat II the repeal of the Sherman
law failed to restore prosperity the Re-
publican party must bear the RESPONSE
bility.
Mr.. Carey (Rep., Wyo.) defended his
position on the repeal bill. He then re-
ferred TO the speech of Mr.. Wolcott on
Saturday. in which he said that he was
advised Wyoming desired repeal. and
the
SENATOR FROM MINNESOTA
(Washburn) had made proffer of the
vote of the senator from Wyoming, and
his authority was not questioned,
That, indeed" said MIR. Carey, "is
offensive, and do not see how any sem
ator could rest under the imputation
that another senator had proffered his
vote. l did not take offense at what
senators said in the heat of debate, but
gentleman who retires from the world,
who prepares his address, commits it to
memory, and then reciteS it with great
dramatic effect, with a change of cos
tune at each time e[laughterl,s should have
considered, as far as was concerned,
my rights in this matter, and should not
have attempted to put me in this posi-
ton. have never proffered my vote in
this body, and never SHALL"
MIR. Carey said he should vote for un-
conditional repeal, although he favored
compromise.
Mr.. Wolcott had said to him that he
desired no compromise. and if the sena-
tors from the silver states went home
empty-handed 1t was their own fault.
MIR. Wolcott (Rep., COLI then rose to
reply to Mr.. Carey. He said: "There
had been suspicion that the senate
having deprived the state of one sen
ator, both had departed; 1t was repre-
sented by proxy living in Minnesota"
Laughter. MIR. Wolcott read state
ment made some time ago, in which Mr..
Washburu stated that Mr.. Carey had
told him that he would vote for uncon-
diuonal repeal.
''At the time that statement was
made" said Mr.. Wolcott, 1.-The senator
from Wyoming sat quietly in his seat, as
If he were lamb being
LED TO SLAUGHTER,
willing that senator from state 1000
miles away should answer for him and
his people on this great burning ques-
ton, in which every man, woman and
child in his state is vitality Interested.
From that day to this the senator from
Wyoming has seen fit to give no utter
ance upon this subject.
ut was fitting that he should refer to
the position of the senator from Wy
oming. Here apparently stood this new
young commonwealth with its people,
L know, unanimously in favor of free
and unlimited coinage of silver, repre-
sented in this body by 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 is con-
tent with his position, l have no objec-
tion to make. l leave him to his con-
stituents. He may be content with his
vote. l leave him to deal with the
people who sent him here.
~ should not have answered the re-
marks that he has made; [ should not
have felt called upon to take further
part in this debate, had he not seen fit
to go far out of his way with personal
allusion infinitely petty and small. He
emphasized the fact that have taken
pains in the preparation of speeches
as 1 may make to the senate So |
do. | owe it great respect. Iwould not
insult it by giving it any thought of
mlDe or uttefance of mine that was not
duly considered and deliberatvd upon.
l have yet to learn that that is a wrong
to the body of which l have the honor
to be member If the senator from
Wyoming would have considered a
little upon the utterance which he has
Just delivered, he would not have
pleased himself the less, and he would
have pleased the senate and the people
more.
'Mr. President, the senator has seen
fit to refer to my apparel. There are
men to whom clean linen Is an offense.
l regret that the senator from Wyoming
is one of them. 1 owe the senate an
apology for interrupting this debate;
TO seeming to stoop so low as to even
notice an allusion of the personal char
acter as shat made by the senator from
Wyoming. There has been enough said
on that subject. There is a Spanish
proverb that fits the case: 1T is waste
of lather to shave an ass "
Mr.. Carey said: Il have no apology
to make to the senate for not keeping
within the bounds of propriety. make
no claims to oratory; make no claims
to being person that can interest the
galleries: have not gone out of the
senate and asked the doorkeepers to
send in no cards when l was delivering
an address to this body. l am not am
bilious to occupy the position which the
gentleman holds in the senate or any
or attempt to use the language with a
view of annoying, with a view of en-
barraSSlng the body Of which l am a
member. The trouble with the senator
and the trouble with his people has been
that they have attempted to interfere
i'll the affairs of my people instead of
looking after their own affairs"
Mr.. Carey said Mr.. Wolcott had aban-
doned his party in the last campaign.
He was aware, he said, that everything
had been done i'll that state against him
Carey. de had letter from a repuIa-
bic citizen of Colorado saying II he
voted against free coinage The influ-
ence and money of that state would be
used TO ruin him. He then read from a
magazine article discussing the silver
question sentence to the effect that it
was believed there had been trade of
votes by which the senators from the
silver states had voted agaiast the force
bill IN return for votes to be east in
favo: of free coinage.
Il want to state distinctly" said Mr.
Harris Dem., Tenn.), from the stand
point of one Of committee of Demo-
cratic senators, that there was never an
understanding or all agreement between
Democrats and anti-repealers from the
silver states that any single vote should
be controlled by any consideration in
favor of silver or against
THE FORCE BILL.
'Such statement as this senator has
just mads deserves to be branded, ,and |
rise for the purpose of branding it as
an utter faIsehood."
II did not make the statement" dis
claimed Mr.. Carey, For what purpose
did the senator use the article?," asked
Mr. Harris.
In conclusion Mr.. Carey said he still
thought that the sentence TO which he
had referred in the speech of MIR. VOL
cott or Saturday was unjustified, and
that it was dishfLorable for senator to
