personal debate followed Mr., Morrill, and Mr..

Julius Caesar and that the Republicans were
no longer in tho majority in tho Senate. Mr.

tho day was taken up in discussing Cuban
recognition, but the resolution went over.

lon Of impetuous debate and Of stormy Dor.
sonal colloQuy. The speech of Senator Garter
OF Montana, one Of the five Republican Senators
who voted against proceeding with the tariff
BILL was the main formal event of thedly. The
Senator used very plain words in denouncing
what he termed the movement to drive him
and his silver associates out of the Republican
party Gear and Sherman spoke warmly
ngainst the position of the silver Republicans
Teller denounced IN fiery speech
the bimetallism of Mr.. Sherman. Mr.
Allen, Populst, of Nebraska guaranteed
the six POpulist votes for any kind of a tariff
bill that contained a free silVe. clause Mr.
Baker, Republican, OF Kansas asked if Mr.
Allen would agree to deliver the six Populist
votes for a tariff bill with an amendment re-
stricting the silver produced to American
mines. Il have not consulted my colleagues
on that" responded Mr. Allen, "and l do not
undertake to direct the Pooulist vote beyond
this specific proposition Personally, l would
not agree to It," The Cuban resolutions were
then taken up aud discussed the remainder of
the day.
In the House the Van Horn-Tarsney contest
