OF many OF the eastern states whose rep
rescntatves were adopting a course that
was driving the silver men from their
rarity associates. He showed that New
York was represented I'm the senate by
two democrats: that Indiana had two, and
Ohio and Illinois one each. III this gold
plank was adopted the republican party
would. he said, lose control OF tho senate
and not regain Il In a quarter OF n century.
MIR. Brewer Expresses Regret.
Mr.. Brewer. OF Michigan, following Mr..
Dubois. expressed his regret that the sill
yer men should feel compelled TO take
the course they had indicated. However,
he. for one. felt that the parting OF the
roads between Senator Dubois. his associ-
ates and their constituents on the one
hand and the republican party on the
other, had been reached when the hye
republican silver senators took the ground
In the United States senate that no meas
urc for the relief OF the revenues of the
government and the protection OF our In
dustries should be permitted 20 be con-
sldered and passed while they were mem
bers OF the senate, unless such measure
carried with Il a provision for the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver. III there
was any one thing the American people
demanded, Il was sufiiciency or revenue
upon which TO support the government
The government could not be starved, no
matter what party was in power. IL there
was any ono principle that tho republican
party maintained, and must be held In
violate. Il was the principle upon which
protective tarif was founded. and when re-
publican senators refused TO indorso that
principle. IL mattered little whether the
stutcs were represented In the senate by
republicans or democrats At the same
time Mr., Brewer expressed his sympathy
with Mr.. Dubois and his colleagues. and
said he regretted deeply the line OF action
upon which they had agreed. Mr. Brewer
intended TO have offered an amendment
striking out tho word gold" but In view
Of what the silver men had said, II was
useless 20 offer IL.

the duties intrusted 90 them faithfully Il

spirit dominated everything la connection
