looked at in the light Of the sun. The
house, senate and president together made
legislation. Unless they concurred no leg
islation was possible. The house alone
of those three factors in legislation was
under republican control. In the house
the republicans were responsible They
were not responsible for democratic and
populist senate and the influence of the
democratic executive.
I'VE did everything we could under the
circumstances, said Mr. Dingley, and
here and at the other end of the capitol
met the united opposition of the. demo-
Gratis and populists The only thing to do
is to appeal to the people and let them
say whether we shall have a president
and senate who will block our way or
who will cooperate with us In giving the
treasury sufficient revenue and restore
prosperity to the country"
THE gentleman says the democrats
and popuists killed the so-called Dingley
bill in the senate. Was 1t not pigeon-holed
by republican votes?" asked M. Sayars.
1.-THE republicans were not in control, g"
replied Mr.. Dingley
but were not some of them partly re-
sponsble?'
Yes, partly" admitted Mr.. Dingley.
"Will the republicans ask the states rep
resented by these senators to repudiate
them?'
Those states can take care of them
selves" replied Mr.. Dingley.
Ibid not the republicans and populists
make dicker by which they obtained
control of the senate?'' put in Mr.. Nc
MILAN.
The democrats and populists control
the senate" replied Mr.. Dingley.
ELS not Tom Carter chairman of the
republican national commttee?" asked
Mr.. Mcmillan. DO you claim that
Messrs. Wolcott Dubois and Teller are
populists? If you do you cut off good
deal OF the responsibility of your party.
Have not the democrats and popuhsts
a majority in the senator" asked Mr.
Dugley, who now became In turn inquls-
itor.
Mr. Mcmillan adroitly parted this
query, which Mr.. Dingley thrust at him
repea tedly, by dwelling on the -four re-
calcitrant republican senator's" and the
swap" of the biggest committee ~
the senate for the loaves and fishes thai
float about the senate waters"
Mr.. Mcmillan concluded by referring Il
the necessity for a bankruptcy bill, Z
Pacific roads rcfundnG bill, currency
bill. ETC. and charged the republican side
with cowardice in not meeting these ques'
tons instead OF preparing to adjourn and
run away.
