ton. He wanted to know il MIR. Sher-
man and other Republican members of
the committee had not had opportunity
10 offer amendments in committee.
MOT the usual opportunity" replied
Mr.. Sherman. 1T was idle TO do so
When the six Democratic members had
agreed on amendments and they had
been submitted to the Democratic eau
Gus"
MIR: Harris-The senator says he did
not have the usual opportunity. l
want him to answer distinctly and deny,
II ne chooses to deny explicitly, if he
did not have the same opportunity Dem
ocratic senators had when the Mckinley
Dill was before the committee?
MIR. She rman repeated that there was
no opportunity for consideration until
the Democratic majority had agreed
upon changes.
Mr.. Morrill, made a brief statement
conflrmatory of what Senator Sherman
mad SAID, after which Senator Harris,
taking the floor for moment, said with
| much emphasis:
IF the senator from Ohio and the
senator from Vermont desire to he
understood as asserting that the Re-
publicans were not permitted to shape
the Dill In committee they are within
the limits of
THE EXACT TRUTH,
ana they are within the limits when
they infer that they will not be allowed
to shape it."
Mr.. Sherman-That's all right.
Mr. Harris-Of course it's all right.
But II they say they were not permitted
opportunity to offer amendments they
do injustice to themselves and gross
injustice to other members of the COM
! mittee.
| Mr.. Voorhees, insisted that the record
! showed that the bill had been consid-
cred in every detail from end to end,
ana tnat the minority had ample cp-
| portunlty to offer amendments. He
| caiied particular attention to MIR. AID
! ricns motion made in committee to
strlke out the income tax feature.
II desire to say right here" said he,
commenting OH this motion, mo matter
what rumors may be floating in the air,
| tlat the income tax will stay OH this
DILL" Messrs. Allison, Teller and Haw-
! ley tEen took hand in the discussion,
Wnlie MI. Hale returned to the Carlisle
! interview, declaring that 1t bore all the
earmarks OF authenticity. Then Mr..
rainier took a turn, and Mr.. Carey and
Mr.. Chandler joined the colloquv, which
MI. Harris vainly endeavored to bring
10 close. A few minutes afterwards
all incident occurred which created a
| profound sensation. Ali the Democrats
mad been more or less irritated by the
prodding from the other side. and this
Keeling, directed principally against Mr.
/ Aluricn, VINO was maneuvering the
opposition manifested itself when Mr..
iurpie, who got the floor when
MIR. PALMER SAT DOWN,
mace direct assault OIL Mr.. Aldrich,
the like of which has not been heard in
the senate chamber for years. He de-
| clared that three monstrous untruths
had characterized the opposition, three
gross, palpabie lies, of inconeeiyable
mendaclty. The first of those untruths
| was that a new DILL was being prepared
oy the secretary of tue treasury; the
second that to 800 amendments Qt did
not matter which, were to be presented,
and the third was that the bill reported
from the finance committee was not the
Dill to be passed. All these assertions
mad been categorlcally denied by four
Democratic members of the finance
COMMITTEES. 'And yet" continued Mr.
Iurpie, raising his hand aloft,
aud stretching it towards Mr..
Aidrich, ''the senator from Rhode
Island comes in here and
says he believes they are true. There
could be no sharper issue of veracity.
| prefer to believe and do believe tile
| senators on this side, and diSbelieve
| the senators no. will not say senators,
disbelleve the diminutive unit on the
| other side who asserts the contrary.
| VINO Is the author of these reports that
are being circulated here and in the
| newspaper press? Who claims the pa
ternlty? The senator from Rho tie Isl
! and. / recOliect the predecessor of the
honorable senator from Rhode Island"
| ne continued, with biting and yenomous
irony, referring to the Senator Aldrich
| OF 1890 as different individual from
the Senator Aldricb of today, ''but even
he could not then have been the author
| OF all three of these untrutbs. He
| might have been the author of one, but
| three would have driven him
FROM THE FIELD.
he mad been drug clerk and was
familiar with that line of business and
other lines as wholesale grocer. We
VINO were here then will not forget the
Writing OF his distinguished counte-
| nance, his enormous development of
| cheek that extended from ear to ear
| aud from chin to forehead. Will never
forget mis- auricular appendages that
| scraped the dome of the capitol,
| How can the present senator hope to
| rival his predecessor in the hate of
| truth and love of falsehood that has
always characterized the cheats of pro-
| lection.
When Mr.. Turpie sat down there was
hush upon the chamber. Every one
was amazed at the personal character of
the attack upon Senator Aldrich. Then
| all eyes were turned on the Rhode
| Island senator. He rose slowly and
! said: ''ln the position the senator
| from Indiana now takes,n he said.
slowly and deliberately, "he speaks for
no one but himself. Under other cir
| cumstances and. conditions do not be.
| lieye he would have made the speech he
! has made"
| Mr.. Aldrich took his seat. The Incl
dent closed without another word. and
Mr.. Quay took the floor and resumed
the prepared speech he had begun some
| weeks ago.
A motion to go into executive session
developed the absence of IA quorum, and
at $3.50 the senate adjourned.
