friends and ncighbors."
Morgan concluded his written remarks
al 2:a0. He left tho subject. he said, with
the knowledge that the die was cast. The
senate, the house and the president bad
determined that tho pending measures
should prevail. There was nothing now
to look 10, as far as he could see. but
some vague promises made in the senate
which were cntirsly incapable of being
realized.
West followed Morgan. He expressed
sympathy with the people OF the silver
states. and said no czar or kaiser would
dcsolatc an insurrectionary province as
congress was about to dcsolaio tho silver
states OF the west.
Cockreil, democrat. OF Missouri, said at
the last election the tariff question and
no; the financial question was pressed to
the front and tho democratic party se-
cured a victory. Now that election is over
the tariff is lost sight of. and the senior
senator from New York ,Hiln. was beheid
pitching to the front on the silver qucs-
tion. Cockrell reviewed at great length
the history OF the repeal bill in the house
and senate. Tho bill was 10 pass. said he.
IL had been taken out OF the hands OF the
democracy, and republican senators had
10 bo consulted before anything could DO
done. and the republican party would be
infinitely moro responsible for uncondi-
tional repeal than the democratic party.
IT the repeal of the sherman law failed TO
restore prosperity, the republican party
mus, bear the responsibility.
Carey, republican OF Wyoming. de-
Tended his position on the repeal bill. He
then referred to the speech OF Wolco on
Saturday, in which lie said he was advised
that Wyoming desired repeal and the sem

said he should vote for unconditional re-
peal, although he favored compromise.
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 un-
conditional repeal. AT tho timo that
statement was made," said Wo lcott, "thc
