filled. He suggested the consideration OF the reso-
luton be postponed until debate on the penang
question be exhausted.
In the course of further remarks Mr.. Chandler
alluded to the change OF votes on the admission OF
the three appointed Senator's.
Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass) made some remarks as
TO the vote on the Montana case. in the course OIL
which he referred TO compromise.
The word was caught up by Mr. Butter Dem.,
8. CO. who wanted TO know why "compfo"'se

A SUDDEN CHANGE IN THEIR VOTES
Then Mr. wolcott Rep. COLI expressed MS gra'i-
fcation that the resolution had been ohered. Iheh
he went on to talk Of the action OF the senate on
the claim representation of the three states ana

that vote underwent a complete metanorphosis'
Votes that were supposed to be In FAVOR OF al

They reminded him Of that old wise saying OF Sancho

'Mr President" he continued. with increasing
earnestness |'they will be in time to vote. but

side of the silver senators there many Senators

Mr.. ALDRICH TAKES A HAND.
Before he could finish the sentence he was asked
by Mr. Adrich ORep. Il. H. whether he spoke for
all the Senators who sympathized with him on the
silver question, when he said that the vote on
closure might be had without much debate.
His reply was that he did not speak for all,
but that he spoke for many; and that he was safe
In stating that If Senator'S wished vote closure.

have a vote on the Repeal bill. The Senator from
Indiana (ir NoorheesI had stated that 1t would
take weeks and months to determine the closure
question; but it would not. If that Senator intro
duced a resolution for closure he could have
vote upon 1t within reasonable time; and many
of those Senators who agreed with him on the
silver question would interpose debate OPP
position.
Mr. Alirich-Does the Senator mean to have us
infer from that that cannot have vote upon
the question of repeal within a reasonable time?
Mr. Wolcott-I will to that in a moment.

out definite information that an arrangement has
been already consummated between certain SEN

'steerer' of as many Democratic Senators on the

BELITTLING THE SENATOR.
Then Mr.. German Dem. Md who had been
offended and rritated by the personal illusions to
himself in the speeches of Senators Chandler and
Wolcott and addressed the Senate. He said
that the of the opponents Of the Repeal bill
had done 10 belittle the Senate in the eyes Of
the people of the whole country than anything that

that the time would come, and that speedily. when
of the actors in those scenes would regret
the parts they had played and would atone as best
they might for having brought the Senate from the
position OF a great deiberative body TO that OF
country convention city board of Aldermen
He had not taken part in the discussion. He had
therefore been amazed that the distinguished Sen
ator from Colorado dor whom he had had great
personal respect and fondness) should far forget
the great duty OF an American Senator as to bring
into the discussion matters which did not belong to
It, He was amazed that that Senator should in
dulge in the insinuation that Senators were con-
trolled by motives not proper. When the Senator
had done so for the first time. he (Mr Gorman)
had ascribed it TO excitement and to the fact that
the Senator represented a State which was intense
~ interested In the question: and desired to serve
It: and he had felt that the Senator ought not to
be held to strict account for his conduct and ought
not TO be confined TO those limits Of expression
TO which Senators ordinarily held.
Mr. Wolcott-I ask the Senator TO what he refers
i unconscious OF any intmation that could
offend him.
Mr. Gorman-The Senator from Colorado has init
mated that Senators this floor changed their
votes the question OF the admission of Senator's
from the States OF Washington Montana and
Wyoming. And he again repeated this morning
that, while he respected Senator who had
changed his vote from being in favor of admis-
sion to being against IT, and had given his reasons
therefor he did know what think of two
others who had changed their votes In the same
way and had given no reasons.
Mr. a this moment | beg that
II the Senator from Maryland will read the report
OF my remarks he VIII fail utterly to find any
where in them any expression of the kind.
THEY BELIEVED THEY WERE RIGHT.
Mr. Gorman-Of course ] accept the disclaimer
of the Senator: but l venture to say that man
who can read the English language and under
stands II would have drawn any other conclusion
from his remarks uttered q few days since and
