have bean defeated if it had been voted on

of another republican caucus before trying
again to abridge the freolorn of debate,
lie hopes to get the caucus to bind the
party to vote for the hill and for any steps
necessary to briug it t > a vote, but ha does
not really expect it, for ho iniows too well
how his party is cast up over the measure,
plumb’b bold stroke.
Mr. Plumb's bold stroke to-day, in bring
ing forward a free silver bill, guarded
though it is by reference to inter., alto &|
agreement, and announcing that the force
i iii must be disposed of or sac aside speedily
in order to give place place for silver legis
lation, was taken after repeated confer
ences betwoen tbo silver republicans and
the de nocracs, and well illustrates the de
morahzmg iackof harmouy on the republi
can side. Mr. Hoar did not evon dare to
rabuke it, as the republican senators say
President Harrison has done. They say
that they have beau utterly unable to gee
President Harrison to seriously consider
the financial situation, so consumed has he
been about tils force bill. Mr. Piu:nb will

Senator Quay was in the Senate to-day.
He said he would await the action of the re
pi blican caucus before presenting his sub
stitute Lull to the Sena e, and meanwhile
has li tie h> say about its details except that

thought it would be much more effective, if
any bill would he favored.
The democrats will keep up their fight.
Tiisy have sueo eded in compelling the at

clients. Mr. Daniel alluded so pointedly to
Mr. Hon ’# absence when Mr. Hoar went
into the cloak nom while Mr. Daniel was

TUB DAY IN DETAIL.
Communications were presented in the

THE FORCE BILL TAKEN UP.
On motion of Mr. Hoar, at 1:10 o’clock
the elections bill was taken up, and Mr.
Kerry addres-ed the Senate in opposition to
it tfo said that sioca he bad the honor of a
seat in the Senate no bill had been mtro
duo’d so important as this one; none so far
reaching in its consequence, so dangerous to
the li erty of tho citizens, and so
threatening to the peace, good
erder and p>sperity of society. It
equaled, if it did not surpass in its evils,
tie constitutional amendment conferring
tho right of suffrage oil the negro. That
amendment had for its excuse changed con
ditions brought about by the war, and the
alleged necessity of giving protection to the
newly emancipated slaves; but for the pond
ing bill tuere could be no excuse.
A DISTURBING ELEMENT.
At time of profound peace; at a time
ween the soars inflic.ed by civil strife had
healed and its bitterness passed away; at a
time when tho relations of the people of the
several states were becoming more and
more extended and complicated, and wfce i
the ai lest and best men of the southern states
were seeking to find a remedy for the evils
that surround them, this bill was brought
forward to disturb the harmony and to
tulket an injury ou business relations. As

ate in opposition to it. He quoted from
Mr. Hoar’s speech last Augu-t, that the
bill struck at the north as well as at the
south, a id ai-o recited the motto pi icl at
the heail of that speech: “Shall we keep
faith with the peoplef" and said that
whether smeere or not, that was
a a inking battle cry. The people
had read that speech and had answered
it. All of tue tiiirtesQ original states had
put upon it the iiat of their condemnation.
The at te of Mas-auiiusetts, at whic i he
strucx, in distrust of its local officersaud i:s
time-honored c.ejiomi. had given him its

senator from Massachusetts should base im

oorpse taken from the presence of the Sen
ate. The col 1 fingers of the cadaver c mid
not be warmed at the dying fires of sectional
hots.
REPUDIATED BY THE NORTH.
The senator (Mr. Hoar) had proclaimed his
purpose to have the bill striae at the north
as well as the south; and the north had
taien him at his word and had overruled
him. And to him he (Mr. Daniel) said
now; "Hnall you keep faith with the
American pein e, or will you play the part
of the desperate gam ler, who, having
played for u high stake aud lost, prefers to
kick over tue table, blow out the
lights, and grab the stake before

emphatic, resounding, condemnation, let
him do so; but let him not insult the reason

HOAK3 ATTACK ON THE JUDICIARY.
The senator had not always expressed the
high o infidenoe in the judieia y which he
now professed. He had made a speech in
the Senate in which lie said that he had
seen four United States judges forced to re
sign their otfices in order t escape unyauon
meut. After quoting somewhat extensively
from this spoioh. Mr. Daniel expressed his
regret that Mr. Hoar had vacated his tea
since he (Mr. Daniel) had comma ced
to hod up Mr. Hoar’-i rssault
on the judiciary being an unsafe cus
todian of the people’s lib;t ti?s. The senat >r
might continue to absent himself from his
seat, a id might notcare to have his doctrina
repotted in his presence; but he (Mr.
Daniei) would point out to the few stupors
who did h m the honor to listen to him that
to-day the senator from Massachusetts
stood before the American people in that
very attitude which he coudemuad in his
speech.
A BOTCHED JOB.
Referring to the uncertainty of what the
re -ort of the cimmitcee really was, Mr.
Daniel characterized the bill ns the worst
botched legislative job that he had ever
seen emanating from a committee; and ha
said that the committee on privileges and
elections ought to be glad to be permitted to
take it back, a id not send it “into this
breathing world, scarce half made up.” The
p osidli g genius of this bill, who was in
stigating it and nursing it, had received no
allusion from the senator from Massachusetts
save compliment; and yet he (Mr. Daniel)
had in his hand a legislative record, a re
port of a committee of tiie House of Repre
sentatives, consisting of Messrs. Lvnd,
Korney and Frye,from which he deduc'd the
conclusion t..at Mr. Davenport was not a
toan worthy w be superrls >r of elec
tions, but that he was just the kind of inau
to whom the prom >i tr and sponsors of the
bill wauled to turn over the suffrages,
rights ami privileges of the American
people.
DAVENPORT A BULLDOZER,
Mr. Frye sought tho floor to make an ex
planation (stating that he ha 1 not signed
tha report), but Mr. Daniel declined to yield
for that purpose. He quoted from the law
report to show that Judge Blatchford had
condemned the action of Mr. Davenport,
but had declined to remove him. Tho of
fe so that ho had committed was. Mr. Daniel
said, terrorizing and intimidating American
citizens and compelling them to sunonuer
their naturalization c rtificates. Who. he
aeked, demanded the passage of the bill?
Rot the farmers of the country; for in their
convention at Ocala. Flo., they had just
protested unanimously against it; cot the
colored people of the south, lor they had,
through their various representatives, do
c are ! that they did not wish the bill to be
passed, because it would disturb the kindly
relations that time was establishing between
the races.

He c os ed bis spoeoh with the declaration
that the language which the American
people speak Is the only one that has in It
the word “self-government,” but that when
this bill shall beco ne a law tha dictionaries
should ha amended, and tha word, “self
government” should be erased from the
vocabulary.
Mr. George obtained tho floor.
Mr. Butler gave notice of an amendment
to tha hill, providing that supervisors, can

Mr. lioar gave notice that he would ask
the Senate to-morrow to sit into the even

and three members of the Senate commit
tee on pensions were in conference to-day
discussing the question of decidi g upon
some general policy to be adopted by both

among certain of members of both of t e
committees concerning this class of cases,

i ence to the suggestion in the President’s
i message for more careful scrutiny by
I congress of bills for special re

also offered an amendment (in tne same

that the matter can be brought bofore the

gave notice that, if tho elections bill were
not disposed of at an early day, he would
move to lay it aide for the time being, in
order that the bill ju-t introduced by Him
and all other measures relating to the
financial cooditlou of the o.untry

said, ought 1 1 ho done. Cos ogress had on it
a respoiiaibiliiy whioh, in his judgment, it
could not avoid for auy great period of
time without letting go by a very great
opportunity for helping the country, and
one which, in liis ju igmeat, would not
occur again tn a great many years. If some
thing was uot done within tne next two or

indefinitely.

Thejresolutlon is intonded to correct a
typographical erro • in tho present tariff
law, consisting of the misplacing of a fin and
parenthesis, by which the words “composed
iu whole or in part of istle or tampico
fiber, mantlla, sissi grass or
suim” were Included in the parri

have greatly delayed any action upon them
by the committee. It it understood
that some feature! of tho H two bill were
objected to by some senators, but rather
tiian consider the bill sec'ton by section In
cornrnitt-e.it was deemed best to report
them to the Senate at once, leaving the ob
jectionable points to bsconsidered when thu
bill canui up in the Senate for consideration,
