Mr. Chairman: If 1 have mid tho Constitution of the Uuitod States correctly it defines the _ powers and duties of the chief executive ami the power ami duties of membership of the House ami I tell you that it ever a rebuke was needed to one who haw tramp led down the prerogatives of the people it is to, thai man who liars used his in tluenee or attempted to use it, to crcflte :u himself the sole" governing power of this nation.

Mr. Sibley declared that by the stand ards of the fathers he believed he was a Democrat; he revered Jefferson and Jackson and worshipped at their shrine. But if he was to be carried in a con veyance labelled "Democracy," guided zyun obsttmite driver- over an unknmvn road with precipices ?an<l chasms yawn ing on all sides, lie was going to jump out; and he was not particular as to where he Hi.

Mr. Cox <vas the last name on the list of the chairman who wanted to speak in favor of the bill, but there, remains cjulte a number who had asked to be heard against it.

The purpose of the caucus was to secure an exchange of vlows regarding tho C?r llslo Bunking hill which was taken up for debate a week before tho holldaj recess and which is still before tho House. Mr. llolinau presided and 15V members answered to their name? a* roll call. Immediately upon the conclu sion of the roll call Mr. 1-jlvlngstoa, of ( J corgi a, made a motion tliat all thosfc present should he bound by the aotion of tho caucus. The chamber had been rapidly filling up with members and at tho lime the Livings ton motion wat? made fully 17f) Democrats were in their seats. There was an instant chorus of "Nos and a i?oint of order was made against it. The ohalr sustained tho point of order stating In effect that It had been the uniform practice for IU> years that caucuses aro advisory and not bind ing In their character. Mr. Springei moved 'that all speeches be Idmlttd to live minutes. {Speaker Crisp took the lloor and said that tho Democratic par ty in Congress has great pledges. It has reformed the tariff, repealed federal election laws and practiced economy in appropriations. The party has differed in matters affecting currency and finan ces. The Secretary of the Treasury has | formulated a bill. The question is, can tho party agree upon so important n ?nal lev at the short session? lie be lieved legislation should be had and that j Congress should respond to the call of tho country. He theil offered the follow ing resolution: Resolved, That it is tho sense of this caucus that the Carlisle currency bill hJtouM be passed by tho IIouso of Kep 'rcsenta lives substantially as proposed in the substitute which has been printed in tho Kocord and which will bo offered at (lie proper time by the chairman of the Committee oh Ranking and Cur rency, and that the Committee on Rules be requested to report an order tomor row immediately after the reading of the journal which shall provlde'for its Consideration for one more day of gen eral debate and thereafter under the five minutes rule and a filial vote there on at tho earliest practicable time dur ing the week. Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, moved that (lie pending resolution be so amend ed as to rend that It Is thf: sense of the caucus that a bill introduced by him nlin 11 be passed by the House. Mr. 'tVrry, of Arkansas, offered an Amendment authorl/.lhg the Treasury to buy silver bullion suflieiont in amount to coin a doClar for every inhabitant of the Slates to present it to the United Stoles Treasurer, the latter to coin it Into sll ver dollars and in turn present it to?the Treasury. After speoeh(>s by Messrs. I In)], oj Missouri, and Itrickner, of Wisconsin, Mr. Coff6en, Wyoming, offered o involution extending the time for Ken ernl ddmte . to throe* days. Speaker < Crmp made n point of order njralnst It nnd the point wns sustained, Mr. Crisp then dejnnnded the previou? question on the resolution introduced by him and tlie amendments. The previous question was ordered. Tho Terry amendment wns first considered and it was defeated by a vote of 04 nays to 54 ayes. Mr Sperry's amendment was then rejected by an overwhelming majority, there being hut Ui voles In Its favor. Thes? were cast by \Ve!Is and Brieknor, of Wisconsin, Sperry and Deforrest, of (Connecticut, McAlcer, of Pennsylvania, llarter nnd Pierson, of Ohio, Fielder, of New Jersey, nnd I.<ockwood, Coombs and Hendricks, Trnccy nnd Strauss, of New York. Mr. Orisp's resolution was fonnally adopted by a vote of 81 to 59. The vote showed that seventy-five Dem ocratic meml>ors of tho House were not present ftt the caucus. Tho vote and speeches for and against tho bill seocned to he differently interpreted. Mr. Springer for example, believes that those who op posed the Crisp resolution today will sup port the Carlisle bill in the end, the more especially as some of them dte con strained to believe that It will be amend ed so ns to be more in conformity with their sentiments. He says that to argue that fifty-nine gentlemen who opposed tho resolution will also oppose the bill, would bo to say that the caucus has no per suasive power, a fact which he is In clined strongly to dispute. He belieyes that majority of the seventy-five ab k?ii (?-><>? will also sunnort the bill, and that it will carry by a fair majority. Other gentlemen regard th? spirit dis played at the caucus ns Indicating the death of the measure. They say that the seeches in oi)position to the bill show that the extreme silver men, as well as the opponents of free silver, will, with but ffo\v exceptions, have joined hands in opposition to the measure, and that their opp<?sition will be supplemented bv the solid voto of the Republicans and Popn llsts, and that ns ?. result these meas ures cannot pass the House. One of the curious incidents of the caucus was the mea-gro support accor?le<l to ths amendment offered by Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, the purpose of which wns to commit the caucus to on endorsement of the bill introduced by him last week to fund the greenbacks and the Treasury notes in the l?onds. An analysis of the vote Riven for this amendment shown that four of Its supportprs are Western men. two from Ohio and two from Wis consin, and thnt the remaining nine ni? from U/e East.
