Below are printed the names Of the
! republican inSurgents-thOSe republi-
can senators who have voted against
AIdrich on a majority of the import
ant schedules, who have been able to
embarrass, though not to defeat him,
in determining what Senators belong
on this list, the same test is made as
was used in liking the status OF the
thirty-eight regulars. In the Senate
discussion Of the new tariff there
have been upward OF a score of votes
in which each Senator has been COM
pelled to go on record for or against
the duty proposed by Mr.. Aldrich.
Many of these votes have been on mi
nor, unimpOrtant schedules. From
among these eight have been selected
as being important and representa-
tive:
Lumber, cutlery, sugar, lead, iron
ore, earthenware, cotton, pig-iron.
The thirty-eight regulars are the
Senators who supported Mr.. Aldrich
on all these votes; the insurgents are
the republican Senators who have
voted against Mr. Aldrich on a sub
stantial majority of these schedules,
and have maintained generally, an
attitude hostile to the determination
to revise the tariff upward. Stated
in the order Of their insurgency, so to
speak, they are
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Ciapp Of
Minnesota, Nelson of Minnesota,
Cummins of Iowa, Brown of Nebras-
ka, Bristow of Kansas, Bevcridge Of
Indiana, Dolliver of Iowa, Burkett Of
Nebraska, Crawford of South Dakota.
La Toilette Of Wisconsin is the
greatest insurgent of them all. He
has voted against Aldrich on seven of
the eight schedules named-on all eX-
cept cutlery.
Clapp of Minnesota, like La Fol
lette, voted against Aldrich on all the
schedules named except cutlery: on
the earthenware schedule he refrain
ed from voting. He has been an in
surgent in temper.
Beveridge, Bristow, Brown, Cum
Minis, and Nelson all voted exactly
alike. They voted against Mr.. Aid
rich on lead, lumber, iron ore, pig
iron, cotton and sugar; and with Aid
rich on two schedules, earthen ware
and cutlery. Dolliver voted with

cutlery, and against Aldrich on the
