/ cans upon this question
/ lettering 20 the proceedings OF last IT

and the General Tom. Thumb OF inc re,

would say hailed from Albany calllhB
Them the two Toms of the House, aIter
which the Republican leader induced teVe-
raj of the nine Republicans who voted
Ga that ballot TO grab their hats ana dis-
appear. The picture seemed. ne said. 10
amuse the gentleman from Illinois tMr'
Hopkins. but II witnesses were necessary
10 establish the truth of 1t he should call
upon him to testify.
Mr. Pence was led to discuss tho term
Nugwump, and gave his definition Ci me
word which was cross between te-
publican cuckoo and "A Democratic cuckoo.
" there were no cuckOos. there would be
no Mugwumps daughter
IN conclusion. Mr.. Pence said he was
convinced more than ever that what be
said last August was true-that tn" pro-
ducers Of the West and Southwest would
unite and he represented both before md
after November 10y the same mon. ana In
his Judgment the best results 70 bOtn Sec
lions would be- secured under tn lcayr-
ship Of the Peoples party.
Mr. Patterson OemocTaD. Of Tennessee,
said that he should pay but slight regard TO
the personal references to himself by tie
gentleman from Colorado. Personal cr.ti-
c!Ams. in his opinion. were out Of place
IL
did harm unless they were based upon
the truth. IF there Is anything in the
observation Of my friend" said Mr.. Fat
teTson. 1T is that ! made speech last
summer i'm favor OF the repeal of the Iur-
chase clause OF the Sherman law and
against the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. He thinks that now ] have seen
the error Of my way, because ] am In
favor Of this bin. j occupy the same
portion now that | did when the Wilson
hnl was under consideration J am sim
opposed 10 the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. and against such a bill would
now vote. But ! declared last sumner
that / was in favor of the coinage N The
bullion in the Treasury. and ! am for
this bill now because in exact alignment
with my position then.
Again. the gentleman says that i'm a
Democratic caucus | offered resolution
TO fine members who refused Ia vote on
this bill That IL mistake Cor no such
resolution was offered by me- But will
say. speaking for myself alone that |
think il the duty of IA representative in
this House to vote on all occasions; and
Il is because that is my idea of duty that
| always vote on every proposition sub
mtted to the House. If the gentleman
had said that was opposed 20 filibuster-
ing he would have represented me truly.
II ! had my way. whenever any pember
refused 10 vote on a question, and the
fact Of his presence being called TO the
attention Of the Chair. he should be
counted II necessary 10 make quorum.
Cheers on the Republican side) l am
not one of those who would go lack on
the Ten Commitments or the Lords
Prayer simply because either of them has
the endorsement of the gentleman from
Maine (Mr Reed.
Mr.. Patterson proceeded briefly to DIS
cuss the bill. saying he was In favor OF
IL for two reasons-frst, because II would
give more money TO the country, ana Sc
cond. because he wanted 10 get The bull
Hon out OF the Treasury.
Mr. Bland took the floor ana explained
why ne had insisted on an understanding
as to the limitation of debate on the Dill.
