Sherman .law, and its failure to Improve
tho tiinaueial and commercial conditions
despite the assurance to the contrary
of its advocated and expressed his beliet
that tlu? pending bill would likewise prove
a failure. Referring to the published re
ports that the Kxecutive Department of
the Government, in the person of the
Secretary of tlie Treasury wan using its
power to intluenee votes in favor of the
hill, Mr. Si'idey s:vid. Mr. Chairman: If

and duties of the chief executive ami

the go veCy^ ->t*n t ?d lhi? jK?opU> requires
son let him; more than a combination of
brains, belly ami brass. (Sensation ami
applause.)
Mr. Sibley continued at some length
to assail the administration for Us al
tltmle toward and action upon financial
measures. 'the repeal of the purchasing
elaus& of the Sherman law he asserted
had hern secured by the use ol improper
inlluenecs by the adminisl ration, an 1 that
if the padlocks Iwere lii<ken ?ofii the

speak having been raised, Mr. Sibley said
that every agent of the big gold trust
had spoken all he had to say. \\ hen press

a padlock upon his (Sibley's) lil*. he said,
^K-iiii' tell the gentleman that I ain

him also\hat I am not addressing men

Mr. Pence (I'op.i. of Colorado, asked
consent that Mr. Sibley be perrfiltted to
conclude his remarks: but Mx'. Ontli
walte objected . Referring to (ho action
of the administration Mr. Sibley said
thai paraphrasing Junius it could be
said that the merits of an administra
tion might be judged by the condition of
the people. "Iwok upon the condition
of the people of this country," he said,
"and you can tell the merits of your ad
ministration."
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

seemed to be enjoyed 'by nai-te a numner
of representatives, and when he con
cluded there was a round of applause
While he was speaking Senator Came

Mr. Bland (Dom.), of Missouri, and
Mr. Johnson (Dein.) of Ohio, also spoke
in opposition to the bill, aided by Mr.
Coffeen (Dein.), of Wyoming, and C. W.
Stone (Rep.), of Pennsylvania.
The only speech in lis favor was made
by Mr. Cox (Dein.), of Tennessee, a
member of the Committee on Banking""
ami Currency. He said that if Mr. Sib
ley knew of any member who had sold
his vote for patronage or anything else
it was his duty to expose and vote to
expel him. Mr. Cox <vas the last name
on the list of the chairman who wanted
to speak in favor of the bill, but there,

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. Equally surprising whs
tho h?fgo vote givon to tho Terrv amend
ment, which proposed the eoinaffe h.v
.?fie Secretary of the Treasury of a silver1
dollar of 412 1-2 grains Jo r each Inhabi
tant of the forty State's and Territories.
This an?"nc'inenf received th? support of
fifty-four member*. and was defeated by
ibe l?are majority of too. , vf
Mr, Crib's resolution was divided. The
second proposition was as to fhe'l/nutA
tton of debate by the ('onfttrltT'ftS'an.Kules.
Tlvls proposition was ca^rifd a ,rote of
81 yea* to 50 nays, nnd thfe'secoqd propo
sition without material objection. The
New *Yerk litwnUw who -sotat- for t be
fiiwt proposition were Lockwood. Warner
and Strauss, Four ? others, Cook ran,
