Mr.. Chandler held up newspaper |
which he said was the Caucasian
published by Mr.. Butler in North Caro-
lima. and which contained extreme and /
violent attacks on Senators Hill and I
Sherman, and others with whom Mr.. |
Butler was in daily intercourse. AS to |
the bond issues, Mr.. Chandler declared |
that the president and the secretary
of the treasury were men of sterling
personal integrity, standing as the
representatives of the credit of the
government No one charges a mis-
appropriation or embezzlement of the
funds which had been raised by the
bonds.
IS THANKFUL.
Il am thankful that two-thirds of
the senators who voted on this side of
the chamber" said Mr.. Chandler, will
vote against this bill. And | ask sena-
tors who participated in the election
of President Cleveland and who are
of the party of John G.. Carlisle, to
join with us in at least one patriotic
vote to protect our honor and credit.
Mr.. Pettigrew Rep. S. d. rose to
challenge a published statement that
although an advocate OF free silver
coinage, he had agreed to support
Mckinley and sound money in order
to become a delegate to the national
convention. Mr.. Pettigrew declared the
report was false. The South Dakota
convention referred the financial ques-
ton to the national convention and
no issue or vote was taken on silver.

rifice his convictions on finance.
Mr. Teller pointed out that the pend
ing bill had no connection with the
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
He denied also the right of Mr.. Chand-
Ter to speak for the Republican party
in favoring a. continuance of the bond
issues The American people, he be-
lieved, were not in favor of increasing
the public debt in time of peace.
Mr. Teller referred contemptuously
to those ecclesiastical pharisees" who
acclaimed that they were the only ones
willing to protect the honor and credit
of the country
The senator declared that the silver
question, whose death and burial had
been predicted, was a most lively
corpse.
State after state had declared in con-
vention for silver. The great Demo-
cratic party was ready to inseribe on
4 its banner free silver coinage"
What the Republican party will do
at st. Louis do not know" said Mr..
Teller, but I believe I know enough
of the sentiments of the west and of
the plain people of the country to say
| that the party that inscribes on its
banner 1.-THE gold standard is doomed

Before I would vote for q bill carry

rows, II had rather thousand times
that the country had gone down in the

my hand to remove the last prop that
sustains the credit of my country"
