Mr. President, I charge herr, (and I shall undertake to make the charge good before this debate is over, that this hill was never introduced in either body, nor has it been supported in this body with any reference to it becoming a law. Of that I shall sprak at another time. If the senator from Vermon thinks lie can embarrass us who have stood by the republican party a long a he has, mid as xealousiy a he has, because we do not agree with him upon every subject, he is entirely mistaken. I voted against the taking up of this bill, as I shall vote against the bill, If my judgment dictates that I should, and I shall remain in the republican party, In spite of the suggestion of the senator from Vermont. It was known when the bill was Introduced in the house of representatives that it could not pass the senate unless it had a democratic or popular support. It was said publicly that it was not expected to pans it; it nan said publicly that it was for the purpose of political gein and private advantage. It is a play, Mr. President, which degrading to the American senate and degrading to any member oi the party to which I claim to belong who shail take part in it. Mr. Morrill I have read 110 man out of the republican party, but 1 allude 10 the fact that there are eighty-ninsenators in this body, of which the republican have only forty four who claim tube republicans. Of course we arc in the e minority. , Mr. Teller Of course, we knew that before. The suggestion is that se who have not voted to take up this bill ar not republicans. For thirty days the great republican metropolitan press has read out of that party enough members to make it in the minority if it had here tofore a majority here. Every man who voted for the free coinage amendment to the bond bill, no matter wliut Ins motive for voting for it, whether he wa a free coinage man and anxious lo promote that purpose and that end, or whether he was against f lie bill, has been read out of the republican party iiy the republican press. At the proper time I am prepared to show that the great metropolitan republican press has declared that eighteen members of this body are not worthy to be called republicans, and wc have been notified that unless we change our views upon financial questions and submit to the Cleveland democracy and Morrill republicanism of this country on the financial question, we must go out of the party.

Mr. Schwab added that the only definite outcome of the conference was that it wa decided to call a special meeting of the sound currency committee of the chamber to be held at 2:30 oclock Wednesdny afternoon. Isidor Strauss said further: It Is a mistake to attribute so much importance to this meeting as some seem Inclined to. All it amounts to is that we were In. formed the Secretary would be to meet us for an Interchange ofpleased views. Only the members of the chambers sound currency committeee were The talk was all purely general It is a matter you cannot formnlate in one afternoon. But everything related !o deciding upon the best plan for the sound currency cause. I, of course, cannot say what was suggested. Opinions differed as to the methods to be followed, but In the future we hope to formulate some general plan of action. Henry Hentz, chairman of the full financial committee of the chamber of commerce said : The object of the was to discurt the best means of keeping the gold reserve Intact, to receive suggestions which might be made respecting a policy to restore business confidence, and also to talk over the sil-vquestion. Further than that I can ay nothing. From other sources it was Icarred that views on the money question were Interchanged. Secretary Carlisle Inquired with much interest as to shipments of gold. He was told that no heavy shipments to Europe were expected. Mr. Carlisle, in a short talk, said he believed that both political parties would adopt sound currency" planks in their platforms. He was confident that this course would be followed by the democrats. He said reports from all section! showed that the movement for sound money was gaining In popular favor. The late popular loan, he added, waa fine evidence of confidence. Gold had been brought forth from hiding places, as shown by the offer of gold coined at Dahlonega, Ga., a mint long ago closed. He complimented the chamber of commerce for its energetic work. The outlook for business, he said, had greatly improved. With good crops from the coming season and a strong, untited movement for sound currency business prosperity was assured. Secretary Carlisle was the guest of honor at a dinner given by C.C.

G. Ritchie, a Napa county vineyard-ist- , as security for a loan of $5,000. Mills paved the wav to the loan by tell ing a fairy story of the fabulous fortune that could be obtained by developing a rich mine discovered by an Indian. He was assisted by a versatile confederate, who posed first as an Indian prospector and later as an assayer from the Philadelphia mint. The two gold bricks furnished by the Indians were later examined by the same man in his capacity as an assayer and declared to be worth $22,000, On the strength of the supposed assay Ritchie gave Mills $5,000 in gold and received the worthless gold bricks as security. -- The Ncrr.Mrr Made a Ti.'k, Maries Be Felt Bure Both roll'.:? a I Hart It.: Would Adopt Mound Keney" The Mllvcr question Bln. euhned at tlir Confer euro Another Meeliue to be Held. - Plat-roi-m- New York, Feb. 24.
