BURROWS’ PLEA Urges His Associates Not to Reverse Themselves in Quay Case. ANALYZES WORDS OF CONSTITUTION Tendency Toward Popular Election of Senators. . a HE SOUNDS A WARNING Senator Burrows of Michigan made an ef- fective argument in the Senate today in op- position to the claim of Mr. Quay to a seat in the Senate under appointment by the gov- ernor of Pennsylvania. He opened his speech with a reference to the decision of the Senate in the Corbett case. The Corbett Case. As a humble member of the privileges and elections committee at that time, he said, he was forced to the conclusion that the power of appointment in that case was not lodged with the executive, and a ma- jority of the committee so reported. The Senate sustained that report by a vote of 44 to 19. Since that time he had seen noth- ing to cause him to reverse his judgment; further examination had served rather to strengthen and confirm it. “The material facts in this case,” he said, “are the same as they were in that. The Constitu- tion is the same. The precedents are the same. The only change is in the name of mn to the Senate. orbett: now it is A change of parties cer. not to produce a change of ex. tainly ough conviction: Quay Case Reviewed. He quoted the provisions of the Constitu- tion concerning the case, and briefly recited the history of the Quay contest, election failure of and appointment by the governor, ney occurring during the sitting of lature. “The sole question,” he said, “presented fer the consideration of the Senate fs whether this vacancy, occurring on the 4th in the manner stated, and ature was in session, was such a vacane within the meaning of the Constitution. s the governor of the state could supply by temporary 2 i itw then the rig of Mr. Qui in th body. of the commission, is unquestioned tionable. If it was not ove and then such app: ment was wholly without authority of and the commission issued in pursuance thereof utterly 1 and 5 = the only controversy, and to its ration I invoke the serious attention of the Senate.” Analyzing the Constitution. Proceeding, Mr. Burrows made a careful analy of the points in contention as to the construction to be placed upon the language of the Constitution, upon which construction the determination of the case must rest. This que nm is whether the word “hap- pe used in the Constitution means ‘‘oc- cur” or “exist—whether the vacancy hav ing “happened” during the session of legislature it continues to “happen” during | the recess that follows, until it is filled, and whether the word “otherwis the ex- pression by “resignation or otherwise” re- lates to the unforeseen contingency by which a vacancy may occur, or to the con- Ungency under which !t may exist without reference to the conditions of its occur- rence. Mr. Burrows said, however. that the Senate might refrain from going into the dis sion, though it seemed tohim that the m ing of the words was simple and plainenough re, “so far as this case is concerned, it Is a matter of utter indifference what construction is to be put upon these words if the Senate is to have the slightest regard for its own precedents, as it is the extab- lished rule of the Senate, founded upon an unbroken line of decisions—from the foun- dation of the government until this hour— that the governor of a state has no author- {ty to make temporary appointment to a Vacancy in this body which occurred when the legislature Was in session, or, since the Lanman case in 1825, where the legislature had the opportunity to fill the vacancy either before or after the occurrence of the vacancy. Need of a Fall Senate. ‘With reference to the need of always hav- ing a full Senate he suggested that the Same necessity existed as to the House, es- ally where a state had but one repre- tive, and by a vacancy would be deprived of all representation until the vacancy was filled; and yet that the gov. erner had no right to fili such a vacane- because the means of filling it by election were always available. As to the Se: spectal provision was made to fill vaca cles happening during a recess of the leg an- lature, because then no means of filling it except by appointment existed. Aim of the Constitution Makers. Mr. Burrows reviewed very completely the precedents in the case; the history of the The Idol of the Turf. THE MOST POPULAR JOCK AND ENGLAND RECOMM bys IN AMERICA DS STUART'S PEPSLA TABLETS. appealed so strongly to public favor d Sloen. He bas achieved more than his most noted pre- decessors ever gttempted and stands in a class by himself. Not satisfled with his successes in his native be went to Englend and now his fame as sful horseman is on the tip of every tongue t only in this country aud England, but in every section of the globe where racing has found favor, When Tod first went to England bis temerity was openly laughed at, but the little American played skittles with his English rivals and bie victories made all Ep nd gasp. Having the stamp of royal approval, society both at home and abroad “‘Honize” bim and he Is feted and petted to an extent that would turn an ordi- nary mortal’s head. The great jockey was in such demand socially and ined and wined to such an extent that it was feared his health would give way. Too much society and the nervous strain of racing told on bim. A two weeks’ trip to America made bim ac quainted with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and their remarkably restorative effects on a depleted digestive apparatus and he recommended them in unstinted terms to a friend, saying “‘Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets are the best thing I know of for jomach In condition and appetite in good repair. ‘Thousands of fosmer dyspeptics can vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's words, as “Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets” have become a household word in Amer- apd few families are without them. One or two taken after meals keep the stomach sweet by causing prompt and healthy digestion of the food. Perfectly healthy people use them after heavy dinners to keep their good bealth and to make sure that no ill effects will follow an unusually hearty meal. Your druggist will tell you or your doctor either that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are composed only of digestive ferments, Asceptic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit acids, ete., and for the strong stomach as well as the most delicate, constitute a safeguard against Indigestion amd stomach troubles, apO&12-2¢ framing of the Constitution, and the au- thorities sustaining the position rendering untenable Mr. Quay’s cleim to a scat in the Senate. He said that it seemed to him that one could not follow these proceedings of the convention in detail without being im- pressed with the conviction that the only purpose the convention had in view in making provision for supplying vacancies was to provide a method by which casual vacancies happening in a term, and when the legislature was not in session, might be temporarily supplied by the executive of the state until the legislature, the primary power, could have the opportunity to fill ich vacancy. after citing the vote on the Corbett case, in which Mr. Penrose voted against Corbett and Quay was paired against Corbett, Mr. Burrows said: “In the light of these precedents, and in the face of the vote in the last Congress in the Corbett case, I submit it is asking 2 great deal, it is a heavy draft even on the demands of friendship, for the claimant in this case to insist that the Senate shall re- verse the adjudications of a hundred years, which he himself and his colleague have so recently approved, that be may gain at best but a temporary scat In this body. And it is Nttle less than audacious for the gov- ernor of the state of Pennsylvania to disre- gard the mandates of the constitution of his*state, which he has sworn to support, refusing to call the legislature together to elect a senator, and force the Senate of the United States to place its stamp of approval upon his disregard of official duty and his assumption of power.” Effect of a Reversal. He sald that disastrous consequences: would result from the reversal of the es- tablished policy of the Senate in order to seat Mr. Quay. He declared that the Sen- ate could not afford to reject @ claimant for a seat today and on the same state of facts admit another claimant tomorrow. It could not afford to give credence to the charge that the Senate of the United States is, after all, but a social club, where good fellowship is a better credential than a certificate of election in conformity to law. “Mr. President,’ he said. in conclusion, “when this work of demolition has been consummated, if it must be, and the peo- ple realize that the Senate, trampling under foot the precedents of a century, has sol- emnly adjudged that it will receive into its membership the appointees of governors whenever the legislature fails to elect or can be prevented from choosing a senator: that governors may fill the seats in this chamber whenever vacant for any cause, hough themselves conspirators to produc puch vacancies that the Senate itself, with the co-operation of state executives, will hereafter make up the membership of this body out of their personal or political friends, independent of the legisfatures and regardless of the will of the people—when that time comes, I repeat, there will come with it the remedy, swift and complete. The people will not submit to it. They ought not to submit to it. They are wed- ded to representative government and they will not permit it to be subverted. There is yet a power mightier than Senates, more potent than senators—a power that can make and unmake both. And let me say to senators that no sooner shall you have established the doctrine contended for by the minority than there will be a popular uprising in this country which no power can resist or suppress to take from the state le; a ernors all control over the election of sen- sand Jodge ft with th overeign peo~ sady thirty-four states, through itures, have demanded ft.

If the ascent of one of the hills is desired the passenger must pay 2d.

ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, April 11, 1900. Upon the authority of Elliot Danforth, chairman of the democratic executive com- mittee, it is stated that the democratic state committee, which will meet in this city April 20, will not indorse the presidential candidacy of William Jennings Bryan. The statement is, however, diplomatically quall- fied by the addition that “there is no need of an indorsement, as the action of the committee last fall stands, and Bryan's nomination at Kansas City {s inevitable. ‘The rank and file of Tammany politicians are in the dark as to the meaning of ail this. It is reported that Richard Croker has been heard from, and that some men in the inner councils of the organization have been “tipped” that perhaps, after all, there will be a fighting chance to beat Bryan in the national convention and nominate a Man who will be acceptable to the party a: a whole in this state. ‘Lhuse who are inte ested in the candidacy of Admiral Dewey hint at interesting develop ts within the next few days. But it may be stated on the very best authority that Tammany will be “regular.” The delay in pledging their sup- port to Bryan is not an indication that they will not support the nominee of the Kansas City convention should the free silver chain- pion be selected. They will snpport tne nominee of the democrati ational conven- tion even if it should be “Hinky Dink” Me- Kenna or “Bath House Juhn” Coughlin. One of William Jennings Bryan's cam- paign managers who is here says there will be no “continuous performance” of oratory this year, as there was an the purt of the candidate in 18%. On the contrary, Col. Bryan will make only haif a dozen or a dozen set speeches between the day of his nomination and the close of the campals He will not invade the “encmy’s country or preach the doctrines of the Chicago p form from the tail end of rallroad trains skimming over the states [rum coast to coast. Instead, Col. Bryan will take a leaf out of Maj. McKinley's political book, and remain at his home in Lincoln, Neb., where “pilgrimages’’ will center from afar. To Follow McKinley's Plan. “We are going to work the pilgrimage game this year altogether,” said Col. Bry- an’s friend. “Bryan will sit on his front perch in Lincoln and welcome the visiting delegations, The Nebraska city will see a repetition of the scenes that enlivened Can- ton, Ohio, four years ago.” It is stated here on good authority that Col. Bryan consented to the plan here set forth only after much persuasion and many arguments from his manage’ His original intention, and one to which he clung fiercely, was to make a speaking campaign even more energetic and continu- ous that his first one. He was induced final- ly to give his consent to the new arrange- ment after a conference held in this city when Col. Bryan was here last. It is un- derstood that the Bryan managers between convention time and election day hope to bring around the old-line gold democrats and have their support. Their program, it is said, includes a p!atform which will not touch on free silver further than its in- dorsement as part and parcel of the Chi- cago platform, which the more astute dem- ocrats hope to have indersed in a lump and not in detail. The Chicago platform will not be reiterated in the Kansas City resolutions, but merely referred to as part of the candidate's platform. Trusts and anti-imperialism will be thrust to the fore and the curtain drawn, as far as pos- sible, over the pyrotechnics of 1896 Republican Convention Next Tuesday Chairman Odell on next Tuesday will call to order the state convention in this city to elect the four delegates-at-large and the four alternates to the republican national canvention and to name by Con- gress district delegations the new repub- lican state committee. It is understood that the convention will indorse President Mc- Kinley’s administration and instruct the delegates from this state to vote for his renomination. Further than that nobody will be indorsed. The delegates to the na- tional convention, therefore, will be free from all obligations to any candidate for the vice presidential nomination. Chairman Odell says that the coming state conven- tion also would not indorse Governor Roose- velt for a renomination. The chairman, however, adds that the reason for this was because the convention fs called solely to select delegates-at-large to the national con- vention. It would be out of that august body's province, therefore, to interfere in state matters beyond the selection of a new state committee. The chairman did not mention, however, that in past conventions some indorsement of the governor's administration was usual. It is stated that the purpose of the repub- lican machine leaders is to go to the Phila- delphia convention non-committal to the policy of supporting either Roosevelt or Woodruff for the vice presidential nomina- tion. Should they recommend _Woodruft’s candidacy just now cnd should the national convention be stampeded for Roosevelt, compelling him to become McKinley's run- ning mate, the machine leaders would have Woodruff on their hands to take care of. Delegates-at-Large. The four delegates-at-large will be Thos. C. Platt of Tioga, Chauncey M. Depew of New York, B. B. Odell of Orange and Governor Roosevelt. It is said by republi- can politicians that the four alternates would be John Raines of Ontario, George J. Smith of Ulster, Michael J. Dady of Kings and John N. Schatcherd of Erie. It is being hinted now that Roosevelt may make the nominating speech in the national convention, naming President Mc- Kinley for renomination by acclamation; or that he at least will make one of the speeches seconding the nomination. But whether he be nominated for Vice President or governor, it is understood Roosevelt will make a stumping tour through many states for the national ticket. To Mark Confederate Graves.
