a careful argument in favor Of the
bill and Mr.. Stone Of Pennsylvania. op-
posed it,
Mr. Johnson of Ohio followed with a
eaustic speech in opposition. He said
he thought he owed an apology to the
public for speaking against a bill which
was as dead as this was
MI Morse made brief speech in op-
position to the bill and then Mr. Bland
took the stand against it. He spoke with
great feeling. This BILL he declared,
was an attempt to temporize with i
great issue. He called attention to the
democratic platform of 1882, a pledge
TO settle the financial questions on the
lines Of bimetallism. He traced the
course OF those who, he alleged. We're
carrying out conspiracy, first repeal of
/, the silver purchase Jaw and now con-
| summation OF their plans. He predicted
II this bill became q law that the green
backs will disappear and to secure a
gold standard silver would be entirely
eliminated
In conclusion Mr.. Bland protested
against the bill "in the name of out
ragged democracy. Neither this house
nor this administration is the demo-
cratic party, said he. '.and | appeal to
the masses of democracy to reorganize
on the lines of the principles OF Jeffer-
son and Jackson" (Applause)
Mr. Coffeen of Wyoming concluded the
debate for the day in opposition to the

The Lodge resolution calling for in
formation why the United States ships

derive the right to 6; i on the president
for his reasons for executive acts. No
such power existed and was it not i'm
pertinent for the senate to make the
demand. He maintained that it was
absurd to say that the senate may de-
mand the reasons Of the president with
some way or another % compel an an
swer He maintained l1"t the president
had upheld the honor .tf4ti igfity of the
country
Senator Aldrich referred to his re-
marks made some days ago respecting
lnittee from the Hawaiian islands and
said he had yesterday received con-
firma ton Of the coincidence of dates in
this matter from unexpected quarters.

life Of the late Senator Colquit. Re
