cratic majority in the United States
senate in favor of silver, and commend
the course of Senator Cannon and
those few manly Republicans who
demonstrated so conclusively that they
possessed the courage Of their convic-
tons and whose attention the mono
metallists have not been able to divert
from the silver issue.
Mr.. Critchlow promptly objected to
the consideration, when Mr.. Cazler
asked to hear the resolution read
again, the clerk complying. Mr..
Critchlow renewed his objection, which
was sustained by a strict party vote.
IMPARTED AGAIN.
Mr.. Nebeker again secured the floor
and said: "Inasmuch as 1t appears to
be the sense of the majority of the
house that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver is not the paramount
issue in Utah, 1 wish to offer the fol-
lowing" He then read:
Whereas. The late election demon
straIted beyond controversy that the
people of Utah regard tariff as the
vital political issue to be legislated
for in 1896; and
Whereas. The silver question pales
into insignifcance with that of pro-
lection; be it therefore
Resolved, by the house Of represen-
tatives, the senate concurring, That we
endorse the course Of Senator Arthur
Brown in voting against silver and in
favor Of the considerable of the reve
nue. bill that has been passed by the
patriotic house of representatives and
which went to premature grave in
the United States senate-a body con-
trolled by silver fanatics, Democrats
and Populists

his objection being sustained by the
same vote. the Democrats voting unan-
imously in favor.
THIS ONE A SUMNER.
Mr.. Nebeker then stated that mas
much as it appeared from the action
on the previous resolutions that it was
the sense of the majority that neither
free coinage of silver nor the tariff
were a paramount issue, he would Of
fer another resolution, which he read
as follows:
Whereas, The Republicans of Utah
consider the silver and tariff questions
Of equal Importance; and,
Whereas, Free coinage Of silver and
a high protective tariff are the twin
issues of the Republican party, be it
therefore
Resolved. BY the house of represen-
tatives, the senate concurring, that we
endorse Senator Cannon in voting for
silver and against protection, and that
we further endorse Senator Brown in
voting for protection and against sill
