Statements by Mr. Bland and the Speaker in Regard to the Cloture Rule. ‘THE FORMER THINKS THE SILVER MEN HAVE BEES DECEIVED BY MR. CRISP AXD THE LATTER EX- DELINQUENT TAX LIST. = ee as 05.32 +] BY THE STATEMENT HE MADE IN CAUCTS. The radical silver men are overwhelmed by the announcement from Speaker Crisp that the committee on rales will uot report a cloture rule unless it is asked for by a majority of the democrats. An attempt was made by Mr. Pierce to gct signatures to a petition asking for report from the committee, but it soon be- came apparent that a sufficient number of sig- natures could not be had and the attempt was abandoned. ‘MR. BLAND'S STATEMENT. ‘Mr. Bland is very indignant over the matter. In & formal statement to the public be says: When the rule was first reported setting apart ree days for the consideration of the silver bill I insisted that the rule should be a con- tinuing order to be considered from day to day until disposed of, knowing that three days could. be filibustered out and no action had upon the bill. When I made this suggestion to Speaker Crisp he rather tartly replied that I ought to trust the committee on, rules in that matter; that if the throe days were filibustered out without dixposing of the bill the committee on roles would report n_rule preventing all filibustering motions and compelling a vote upon the bill. The debate on the bill ran until 5o'clock of the third day. I moved the previous question. Several votes were taken npon the bill and mo- tions pertaining to it, when the opponents of the bill commenced dibustering by moving to take @ recest, moving adjournments aud call- ing the roll. It ix well understood that motions of this kind cun be made without limt, and no Dill can possibly pass ax long ax these motions are kept up. These motions and filibustering tactics were kept up until after 12 o'clock on the last day for the consideration of the bill. ‘The fricnds of the bill were determmed to continue in session sv as to prevent a lupse of the legislative day. Mr. Pierce of Tennessee and other members of the Honse (myself in- ciuded) went to the Speaker, Mr. Crisp, and asked his advice about the matter: whether he | thought that filibustering hud proceeded long enough to suticfy the House and the country that the committee on rules would Le wa ranted in reporting a rule by which all filibus- tering motions would be prevented and bring the Honse to a uirect vote upon the bill.

The Speaker has not scen Mr. Bland since and does not know what the status of the tion is. but he thinks that if no direct vote had upon the silver bill it will be because the vote on the motion to table indicates to the ma- jority of the democrats thet the bill cannot pass, and, therefore, they will not request the com- mittee on rules to bring in s report cutting off filibustering. Speaker Crisp defined the situa- tion to be simply this: If a majority of the democrats in the House desire the committee onrules to make a report which will enable the Mouse to come to a direct vote on the silver bill. and if they signify that desire, the com- mittee will make a rej Ifthey do not so nity, the committee will understand that the ajority do not desire it, and theresponsibility will rest with the majority of the democrats of ‘the House and not the committee on rules. HIB OWN POSITION. As to Mr. Bland’s reference to the Speaker a8 opposed to silver the Speaker said he had nothing to say except to recall that by his cast- ing vote he bad himself prevented the bill from being tabled, and to state that as a Repre- sentative from Georgia he favored and will Vote for the free coinage of silver. To show that he was in favor of the free coinage of silver the Speaker recalled the fact that he had appointed a commitiee which favored this measure and had xppointed Mr. Bland as .he head of that committec, notwithstanding M=. Bland had been a very active opponent of Mr. Crisp in the speakership contest. Although in favor of free coinage, the Speaker stated thatasSpenker of the House he would endeavor to execute the will of the majority of the demo- crats therein respecting reports trom the eom- muttce on rules, and no eriticwm by Mr. Blan’? or effort by Mr. Bland to shift the responsi- bility would deter him trom pursuing this course, A REVIEW OF THE SPEAKER'S COURSE. The position tuken by Speaker Crisp with re- lation to the proposed cloture rule settled the fate of the silver bill. His course in this matter ix more effective by reason of the position he occupies ay a silver man, From the very first he has resisted ali efforts made by the auti-xil- ver people to indue him to kill silver legi by an arbitrary course. Mr. Crixp’s iriends in- #ist that he has been entire in all that be hax done respecting Toview of the Speaker's course in this matter, | obiained from friendly sources, is as follows: “During the speakership fight he could have secured very substantial ns-istance by agreeing | either directly or by impheation that be would | excrcise the power of his position to prevent | silver legislation. He took the ground then that this wasa matter to be settled by a majority | Of the party in the House: and thathe wasacandi- | date for Speaker, and that ax Speaker he would be w creature of the House and not its master. He doubtless telt asa great other silver | democrats fcel—that it would be t» the iutcrest | of the purty could the dunger of a discussion | nnd division on this question be avoided; but | he did not feel that he was warranted in exer- | cisiug the power whick the House had y in his hands to overthrow the will of those who had seleeted him. He belicved that as Speaker it was bis duty to be jast and impartial, and hint only acting as a member of the iiouse, | agen individual among many, could he follow | acourse entirely independent of the opinion of others. “In his capacity as Representative from the third Georgia district he wasa silver mau and in former Congresses he had yoted for iree coinage. When it came to be his duty to ap- pointa committee on coinage, weights and me:sures Le mude the se cording to what then appezred to be the disposition of the House, and placed at the hea? of the commit- tee the strougest pro-silver man in the body, giving him as his associates a majority who were favorable to silver, He migh. have con- structed the committee otherwise, and he might have so constituted it as to make’ it impo: to get a report from the committee, Lut th would have been arbitrary and in conflict with the sentiment of the fHouse, and, moreover, would not have been effective in’ preventing silver legislation, as tt would only have iti tated and excited the silver men and rosid first in a wide Lreach in the party, a destruction cf the organization in the Hou-e, and, tina.!y in the overthrow of all authority by a then very decided silver majority. When the time came that there wasa general demand for the hearing on the silver question, wh more or less carhestness wand was made for an assignment of time when the question mizht be brought squarcly before the iiouse and the stren: of the Te- sjective luctions texied. As Speuker he threw uo obstacles in the way of this, and as a men ber of the commiztce on rules he yoted with ctker members to report a resolution giving . in response to a peutic gned by a large number of democrate, askin bat the time be econsideration of th Binnd silver _b ye Tesolut.on being re- ported, was adopted by a very large mujo.ty in the “House—fully two-thirds, During th coutest growing deration of this measure he Was cer! not uutair to the silver wen. Those 6.0 are familiar with the use aud with the and violence, a de- were impartial. ‘be eritici-ias that they were subjected to came trom the most at anti-silver men, some of whom charged that his rulings were urbicrary and in- comage. ‘there can be no cisputiug the fact that he gave the free comage men every ad- vantage which was peruuissiile under the rules. to a vote and the free evinage men were beaten by one he cast his vote with them, tins muking a tie, which prevented the tabiing of the bill. ‘Thus he not only gave the free coinage men a perivetiy fair show in the exercise of bis duty as Speaker, but as an in- dividual member of the House ‘he gave them the benefit of his vote and personai support. The quesiion which has now urisen presents the cuse in a very different aspect irom that in which it bas been heretofore. To save a bili Which lax failed to secure a majority in the House ne was called upon as chairman of the committee on rules to report a resolution in- volving the exercise of un extraordinary power placed in the hands of the committee on rules by the democrats of the House with a thorough understanding that it should not exercised except in case of the most pressing adefeat in any policy by a small band of hhi- busters. It way a power placed with the com- mittee with the expectation that it should re- main dormant unless some great party exi- geney required its use. It was never intended asa weapon with which to compel obedience on the part of members of the majority. When therules were reported to the House there was considerable objection to this revision upon the grounds that the power might be used to force measures through which the party were not agreed upon, and at one time it seemed not improbable that this particular rule might be stricken trom the code before it was adopted, ‘A caucus was called to consider the matter and in that caucus the Speaker made a speecis which drew to him the support of his party. and in that speech he declared that this power which he asked to have intrusted to the committee on rules would lie dormant until some great demand for its exercise, and tyat the commit- tee would never report a cloture resolution until a mujority of the democrats in the House al n both sides bad been discassing it with | One of That Body Tells How the Places of ‘Would not be an unreasonable one. | primitive manners were ¢ |elasion that the loss occurred in iF = SSE HOW THE SENATORS GET ALONG.
