IRBY VOTES FOR THE TARIFF BILL.
Special to News and Courier1
WASHINGTON, July 8 Senator Irby
refused to follow Senator Hill on the
final roll-call when the tariff bill was
voted on tonight, and the measure
was passed by five majority. Through
out the preliminary skirmishes over
the various amendments Senator Irby
in a majority of instances broke away
from his Democratic colleagues and
acted with Senator Hill and the Re-
publicans.
When the crisis came be wa,..ad up
to the rack and cast bis vote for the
bill. Early in the day he realized that
even if be aud Senator Hill voted
against the measure it would still have
majority, as the Populists Allen and
Kyle announced their intention to vote
with the Democrats on the ground that
the compromise bill Is better for the
country than the Mckinley law. Under
the circumstances Senator Irby's vote
was not as great factor IN the final
result as was supposed few days ago.
A DIFFERENT STATEMENT. =
WASHINGTON, July Sit was no
secret among those who had the conf
dence of the leaders on the Republican
side that they expected to defeat the
tariff bill, and that they figured on a
majority Of one vote against it. The
first break on the Democratic side came
when the name Of Cafery was called
and he responded with an emphatic
inc" His colleague, Blanchard, did
not respond to his name at all when it
was called. ....----
Senator Irby, it was claimed, had
promised to vote against the bill, but
when his name was called he respond
ed in the affirmative, and all hope of
defeating the bill vanished. Senator
Catterey then, after brief explanation
and protest against the way his peo-
pie bad beer treated, changed his vote
TO one ia favor Of the bill, and Blanch-
ard voted in the same way. Had Irby
stood by the combination the two
Louisiana Senators would have re-
mained firm, and the vote would have
been 81 to 36 against the bill.
IRBY STOOD BY HIS PARTY.
Especial to News and Courier.1
WASHINGTON, July 5.-All of the
members of the South Carolina delega-
ton, except Mr.. Murray, are in favor
of rejecting the protection amendments
put on by the Senate, and they COM
mend Senator Irby for voting with his
associates in favor of the bill. 1t ap-
pears that the Republican leaders ex-
pected that Senator Irby would vote
against the bill and they are disap-
pointed by his vote. Representative
Burrows, one of the Republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee,
remarked to-day that eff Senator Irby
had voted as we believed he would the
bill would now be dead, for it was ex-
pected that the two Louisiana Sena-
tors and Hill and Irby would vote
against the bill"
Senator Irby says that although he
has been ill-treated by the Administra-
ton he could not, as the chairman OF
the Democratic State committee, vote
against his party. He says he believes
yet that if he had voted mo" the bill
would not have passed the Senate.
The Democrats in the Senate threat
en- to read Senator Hill out of the Dem-
ocratic party.
