=" ness today Mr. Allen Pop, Neb), of
at fered another resolution for the APP
Id pointment of James b. Lloyd of North
Carolina as second assistant doorkeeper
g of the senate. This speedily developed
n a short controversy. Mr.. Sherman call
g ed attention to the fact that by an ar
r rangement between both sides of the
c senate, two young men, one satisfactory
to republican senator's, and the other to
S the democrats, were appointed. 1t was
needless, Mr.. Sherman said, that an
a Office should be created
Mr.. Allen responded, that an official
! had been chosen to look after republican
caucus secrets and another for demo-
cratic caucus secrets. 1t was most appro
riate, in view of the proportions which
the populist party was assuming in the
senate, that populst officer should be
chosen
Mr. Morrill,, chairman of the finance
committee Immediately followed with a |
distinct surprise in the form of reso
luton to take up the tariff bill. Mr. |
Morrill, began with a brief statement as
to the complications on the tariff bill.
He said it had been apparent for many
months that there was deficiency in the
revenues. During every month since
the present tariff bill went into effect
there had been deficiency.
"How was it before2" interjected Mr..
CockreIl.
Mr. Morrill, went on to state that the /
deficiency up to this time reached e
$4,000, 900 If we went on at the same r
rate the deficiency would be $5o,ooo,ooo t
for the wear 1t was certainly manifest t.
that Congress should do something to v
relieve the treasury and assist in the II
revival of business. Therefore he t
moved that the Senate proceed to the a
of the tariff bill. II
