: motion to take up this measure, mad
out of time and unseemly, who sit OF
this side of the chamber, are in the par
Ity, which the senator seems to thinl
they are not.
"There is a motion here made by tht
senator from Montana Carter who,
believe, has as much claim to be called
a republican as the sanator from Yer
mont. to recommit this bill for defects in
the bill-patent and and apparent defects
defects which everybody who has read
and examined 1t concede.
"Mr. President, charge here, land l
shall undertake to make the charge good
before this debate is over, that this bill
was never introduced in either body, nor
has it been supported in this body, with
any reference to its becoming law. OF
that I shall speak at another time. If
the senator from Vernon thinks he can
embarrass us who have stood by the re-
publican party as long as he has, and as
zealously as he has, because we do not
agree with him upon every subject he
is entirely mistaken.
81 voted against the taking up of this
bill, as | shall vote against the bill, If
my judgment dictates that l should, and
l shall remain in the republican party,
in spite of the suggestion of the senator
from Vermont. 1t was known when the |
bill was introduced in the house of rep |
resentatives that it could not pass the
senate unless it had democratic or pop
ular support. 1t was said publicly that
it was not expected to pass it; it was said
publicly that it was for the purpose of
political gein and private advantage.

to the American senate and
to any member of the party
o which l claim to belong who shall
axe part in it."

he fact that there are eighty-nine sena-

minority.
Mr.. TelIer-Of course, we knew that
efore. The suggestion is that we who
