FORAKER'S FIGURES.


| FORAKER'S FIGURES.
| Mr.. Allen had resumed his tariff
speech when Mr. Foraker came forward
| with census figures for the purpose o.
! disproving Mr.. Aliens charge as 20 tbs
swollen vote in Ohio. He said that Mr.
Allen must have spoken in ignorance o.
| the facts
Hurrieily reading from statistics, Mr.
| Foraker said the vote OF Ohio in 1896
vas Loo, 72s, while the population wa:
| about 1900. CO. or about one vote for ev
cry four persons. In Cleveland the sta.
| tistics showed about one vote for every
| four persons. That ratio was about The
| average on full vote.
Did not Mr. Bryan have a larger Xo.e
in 1896 than Mr. Harrison had in 1892? q
asked Mr.. Allsn.
Yes" answered Mr.. Foraker, because
neither OF the candidates IT 1892 was cal
culAted 10 bring out the full party
strength and. in my judgment, there
was not full vote for either Mr.. Hdr-
rison or Mr. Cleveland. On the other
hand. the campaign of 1896 was unusual
iy energetic and an exceptionally full
vote was polled.
Mr.. Teller caused a temporary diver
sion by citing the fact that the Ohio vote
in 1892 was only $4,000, and in 1896 i:
had increased to 1,014197
Again Mr.. Foraker insisted that the
vote in 1892 was exceptionally small.
Senators Allen and Foraker then con-
tinued their dispute at considerable
length, Senator Foraker mainta lining
charges, and Mr.. Allen as stubbornly
maintaining that fraud was palpable on
the face Of the returns
Mr.. Allen then yielded 20 Mr. Pe:tus
for another motion 10 go into executive
session.
This was lost by vote Of 13 to 81 and
Mr.. Allen resumed his speech. There was
much comforting among senators. Mr..
German approached Mr.. Allen, and after
hurried conversation between the two
Mr.. Allen announced that he had been
informed that the opposition to the bill
were about ready 10 capitulate," and
that he would yield to Mr. Morgan.
TOMORROW AT THREE"
When Mr.. Morgan addressed the chair
he was surrounded by majority Of the
senators in the chamber, who had con-
gregated in the vicinity in anticipa zion
OF what he was to say. The Alabama
senator proposed a final vote on the
conference report tomorrow at O'Clock.
He said he resented the methods that
had been pursued in securing the pass
age of the. bill.
I'VE have" he said, been under
coercion by the house from the begin
ming Of this legislation"
Nevertheless, ne said he recognized
the propriety of allowing the majority of
the senate to have its will registered.
He then suggested an unanimous
agreement for a recess until 10 o'clock
tomorrow, and a vote al O'Clock in the
afternoon.
Good, good" exclaimed many of the
senators.
He was willing. he said, TO remain all

with him in the fight upon the iniquit

but he appeared to be confronted by a
situation rather than a theory He
found himself practically alone, and he
did not care to have the batteries Of the
press gallery concentrated entirely upon
himself.
The chair asked whether there was OBJ
lection TO the agreement for a vote to-
morrow, and none was raised II ap-
peared afterwards that Mr.. Butler had

been coupled with the proposition an nu-

olution.
At $50 o'clock the senate recessed I'M
