Senator Stewart Against Cloture and the Elections Bill. PROPOSAL T0 LIMIT DEBATE. It is Promptly Objected to by the Democrats. DILATORY TACTICS IN HOUSE. SENATE. met at 11 a. m. in continuation of Thursday's session. There was no prayer, no journal and no morning hour, but there was a call of the roll, which showed that there were forty-five Senators in attendance—exactly a quorum. Mr. Stewart took the floor to address e Senate on-the cloture resolution, but yielded to a motion by Mr. Frye for an execu- tive session, on the assurance that it would not occupy more than five or ten minutes. MR. STEWART ON HIS AMEXDMEXT. The legislative session was resumed at 11:25, when Mr. Stewart took the floor and offered the amendment of which he had given notice on Thursday last. It contains three proposi- tions, the first being to strike out of the a4 posed rule thewords “and the question shall ut upon the amendments, if any then pending, and upon the measure in its suecessive stages, according to the rules of the Senate, but without debate,” and to substitute the words “and debate on pending amendments and such amendments as may be offered while the measure is under considera- tion shall be limited, as provided under rule the second to insert in the sentence pro- viding that no motion shall be in order but a motion to adjourn or take @ recess the words “to recommit with or without instructions, to lay on the table,” &c., and the thitd being a clause that, pending proceedings under the proposed_rule, “rule 17 shall be suspended.” ule 8, referred to in the first proposition, provides an “order of business” after the morning hour and rule s that “when an amendment proposed to any pending measure is laid on the table it shall not carry with it or prejudice such meas- ure. Mr. Faulkner demanded the yeas and nays on the amendment and they were ordered. AGAINST CLOTURE AND THE BILL. Mr. Stewart commenced his argument against the proposed rule and against the elections The first question that presented iteelt, he said, was why was the business of the session suspended for the purpose of con- sidering the proposed rule. It was cer- tainly “not for the purpose of providing permanent and efficient rules for the government of the Senate, because the first clause disclosed the fact that it was but a tem- orary expedient. The words used were: “That Tor the remainde: of ‘this session.” "What had occurred, he asked, or what was pending to render necessary such a departure from the or- dinary proceedings, such an interruption of the business of the ‘Senate during the final session of the Fifty-first Congress, when no appropriation bills were passed, when numerous important meas- ures were pending and when, if the remainder of the session were devoted ‘exclusively to the regular business of the Senate and if the Sen- ate were to work day and night, it would be impossible to find any extra time in complet- ing what-hnd necessarily to be done by the Fifty-first Congress? Why was the important business of Congress stopped ania proposition introduced which was un- American and contrary to the genius of Ameri- can institutions, and’ which had never before been found necessary in the hundred years of the existence of the Senate? Through all the contests that had taken place such a resort had never been found necessary before. It was a proposition which had never been considered in the British _ parliament during all the that the English ople were struggling for their liberties and aa'only come under consideration when b> erty waa to be suppressed. He might withhold his opposition if what Mr. Hoar said on Thurs- day last were trae; that the opposition was. as much a conspiracy against the national a thority as had been the rebel congress that sal in Richmond. . WORSE THAN SECESSION. If that were true there might be a justifica- tion for the proposed rule and for the elections bill; but was it trae? O- the contrary, was not’ the reverse tr? If he understood the elections bill ¢. rreetly its principle, if carried into effect, would be more prejudicial to human liberty — than secession itself: because secession would have still retained local governments. But, with federal officers to superintend local elections in every state in the Cnion, there would be no more home rule for America, and that removed all was lost. He repeated that the propositiog” lying at the foundation of the elections bill was more dangerous than secession. He went on. to argue at length the constitutionality of the elections bill, and was asked by Mr. Mitchell how he reconciled his argument with the act of Congress providing for the manner in which United States Senators are elected. He replied that in regard to the election of Senators there was no federal interference [words of approval from democratic Senators), and that Congress had confined itself (in that act) exclu- sively within the provisions of the Constita- Acti ahaa aes tt election, but ie to provide how election sho be con- ducted. It had no federal officials over state legislatures—no marshals and no super- ‘aor Mr. Spooner songht to ask a question as to a decision of the Supreme Court, . art said that he would come to that and show very decision was an illustration of the iniquity of such kind of legislation, but he did not propose to stop now. Mr. Hoar also desired to ask HP erymeed ey Mr. bev) on yield for wits ry a it ew how annoy i te with ved notions to them exploded. 0 Liarr DEnare, At the close of Mr. Stewart's speech Mr. Sanders took the floor, but yielded to Mr. Al- drich, who asked unanimous consent; first, to jeer age gate half an =a —_ speeches to one hour each, then to have the vote taken on Monday, but to each of these as made objection was made on the tie side. Then - i TWO CENTS. Then Mr. Breckinridge (Ark.)—(Mr. McKinley having been recognized to call the previous question)—desired to call attention to what he asserted were errors either in the journal or in its 3 oS to certain petitions.

Breckinridge mow pom the floor, not asa favor but asa matter of right, inted out se" inaccuracies (as he asserted) which bad | been made by the reading clerk. | The Speaker stated (on authority of the | clerk) that the journal had been properly read. | Mr. McKinley said that it was manifest that | the only purpose of the other side was one of | ¥- | It had required, contrary to the custom of the | past fourteen years, that the record of reports | and bills and petitions should be read. | HOW HE GOT THE FLOOR. | Mr. Breckinridge—How did the gentleman from Ohio get the floor. The Speaker—By the recognition of the | chair. Mr. Breckinridge—The chair is very kind to the gentleman from Ohio. ‘The Speaker—The chair hopes he is. The chair likes to be kind to every member when he is in order. Mr. McKinley, again saying that the sole urpose of the other side was to waste time, demanded the previous question on the ap- proval of the journal. The previous question was ordered—yeas, 135; nays, 105, Speaker then stated the question to Le ‘on the approval of the journal, and on a stanc- ing vote the result was 100—34. r.

The journal was approved—yeas, 132; nays, 96. ‘the House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair) on the naval appropriation bi $2 THF CLOTURE RESOLUTION. ‘When Debate Will Probably Close—The Out- look on the Kesult. Mr. Aldrich has an idea that the democrats take advantage of any information they get as to his contemplated moves and prepare to meet him. Therefore he will not give any definite idea as to when he will ask that debate close on the cloture resolution. There is a general understanding, however, that he will make his motion before Wednes- day, or as early as possible. The speech of Mr. Stewart's today made a considerable impression, as was evidenced by the fact that the managersof the force bill were annoyed by it. The republi- cans who are open in their opposition to the force bill and the cloture rule are getting more aggressive each day. Messrs. Stewart, Teller and Walcott are makin, will probably stop at nothing to defeat the bill There are seven Senators already declared in opposition to the measure and at least ax many more are known to oppose it, but out of respect for their party managers and disinclination to occupy the position of bolters, have not yet screwed their courage up to the point of voting with the democrats. With some inside the majority party and the democrats fighting as if for their lives, the chances.of the force bill are not as bright as they might be. ‘THE RULINGS OF THE CHATR. The rulings of the chair which got the cloture resolution before the Senate have not so far advanced things toward @ conclusion, as the friends of the measure had ho) Mr. Ald- rich is evidently relying on the application of the cloture rule before its adoption xo to secure a vote upon it. It will be by some, of course, that if debat» can be per- emptorily closed now, before the rule is passed, that there is no necessity for the rule. If, as some folks think, Mr. Morton rules that a motion to close debate is not in order before the adoption of the resolution, the idea being that his decision will be overruled by an ay by his own party, it may pen that the vote on the appeal will be ti, kn which event the decision will stand. 2 -—_______ THE BOYCOTT OF THE FAIR.
