eject him. He was not elected. however,
and later tried to secure the passage
of a resolution condemning the present
Council ticket of the Citizen-Reform?
ers. but was unsuccessful. Tho,ogood.

GERS of the Government without the
authority OF Congress
Mr.. Bacon spoke Of the outflow OF
gold which had begun. $4,000, 600 being
already gone, ss,o00.OOO within the past
week.
Yves there Senator he asked. who
doubted that the drain Of gold would
continue. and that within a few months
the Treasury gold would be all gone?
And then under the existing law and
under the established practise OF tho
Treasury Department another sIOo, 600
Uoo OF bonds would soon be issued and
hundred millions of greenbacke lock-
ed up. There was q most powerful
and active element at work, he said
under the lead of the Chief Executive,
openly advocating the retirement and
cancellation of greehbacks and Treas
ury notes and this issue or bonds was
the most active means Of promoting
THAT policy. 1t would effect that pur-
pose as thoroughly as would be ac-
lation.
Mr.. Bacon declared that IL the day
after the Senate shall have adjourned
ana after Senators have hurried away
TO attend political conventions. It was
announced that the Executive Depart
,,le ,hent determined to issue one. two or
three hundred millions of bonds, there
was no power TO say 1t nay so long as
the law remained unrepealed.

the. permanent policy Of the Government
mat the Executive Department was to
exercise IN Its discretion the power to
contract debt and to issue bonds with
out limit? If not. there was no time
IKE the present for the repeal of that
law. Responsibility was on Senator'S
ana could not be escaped. Speeches on
an SUBJECTS were made in the Senate

ss ue."

and that the Populists allied themselves
solidly on the Democratic side, making
the vote on the amendment, which de-
clared that Dupont was not entitled TO
the seat. 81 to 80. second vote on
the resolution thus amended resulted in
exactly the same figures There was
