When the senate met tills morning the repeal men wuro caught napping by Senator Stewart , who observed tliurovis : nn iuonitn present and questioned tlio propriety of the senate proceeding.

At the conclusion of Mr. IVrkins' speech Mr. Stewart resumed the floor , llu read from a paper an article on the president's re buke lo the senate. Mr. 1 'aimer , democrat , of Illinois asked whether it was consistent with the proper relations between the senate and the presi dent to road in thu senate grave charges ngainst tlio oxcculluo for which ho ( Mr. j Stewart ) would not ho responsible ! Mr. Stewart said it was cniiMs'.ent for him as a senator to defend the senate when the press said thu president was rebuking the ticnato and calling senators criminals. "Let bis friend : ) deny ho has used p.itronauc , tn control legislation , " said Mr. Stew ' art. "I. t him make it clear huw W'He.

Ho wants mo to make a criminal charge against u sen ator. " Iti.fnsrd to Hn Interrupted , Mr. Palmer wanted to ask another ques tion , but Mr. Stewart declined to bo Inter rupted by that kind of stuff. "I will not make personal charges when the air is full of them , " ho said. -They are very windy , " Mr. Palmer man aged to Insert. "Yes. they am very windy , " repeated Mr. Stewart. "They blow down unon a good many senators ami members. " ( Laughter. ) Mr. Stewart closed tils speech for the day with a passionate indictment , of England as o monster that stalked through HIP country breaking down the Interests of seven states and territories ; that claimed to direct the legislation of COUBI-USS and whoso voice was heard last week on the ens' , front of the capitol rebuking the senators. Mr. Morean rose to a personal explana tion , referring to tbe article In tlio New- York Times of today that no honorable democrat could listen to that part of Senator Stewart's speech , criticising the president and continue to ac't wilh htm in obstruction to repeal , "unless , as wo fear , is the ease with Senator Morgan , lie is so Implacable and unreasonable an enemy of the president Hint he subordinates the highest question of privilege and public interest to the gratlll- calion of public revenge. ' There was an imputation , s.ild Mr. Mor gan , tliat ho was Hie enemy , personally and politically , of tlio president and , of course , that the president icclprocatod that feeling , lie was very happy to state that between thu president and himself there existed thu most cordial personal relations. They had ai-vays existed and. ho hoped , they ever wouid. Ho differed with Mr. Cleveland upon some of his views of public policy. Ilo thought ho differed with him upon no ques tion vital to the country or In Ihoi demo cratic party. In fait , ho very much doubted whether the differences between the president and himself were of any very material character. If ho under slued what really were the president's opin ions and hopes in respect to the present inv broirllo. With that statement. Mr. Morgan thought l.o was entirely justified In sayin that thu New York Times in this particular article played the part simply of a mischief- maker. There wt.s no occasion for that paper to take him up and bring him and the president together In this Irritating and unfortunate altitude with respect to each other , which if unexplained , thu country might regard as truthful , whereas , It was simply a malicious falsehood. ViMirhiM'V K\ phi n til Ion. Mr. Voorhees then arose and saidI : do slro to supplement with a few remarks whti thu senator from Alabama has said. 1 an very glad to hear the remarks from the sen ator from Alabama In reference lo Iho as sault which has been made upon the tires ! dent of the l'n I ted Stales for iho last fov days. 1 desire simply lo account for tin silence on this side of the chamber b ; stating that it has not been though necessary lo say a single word in defense of U rover Cleveland from the tlmo ho was bom until thu present day. On this side of the chamber , and 1 have reason to believe on the other side , and all over tlio country , his defense baa been fully made by thu American people themselves , and I intern ! that no criticism shall appertain lo his friends hero because of their silence. 1 say this because wo feel that his great and powerful career disarms all such assaults as have been made upon him. Whatever thu senator from Nevada ( Mr. Stewart ) may have found of fault in his career , tiic Ameri can people have not seen in that way. i Whatever of criticism the senator from Nevada may have indulged in the American > ncoplu have not shared in that criticism of mn. Nobody Is perfect. Human nature is .nllrm , the loftiest characters are lot infallible , but t .venture lo say that in American history the career of Grovev Cleveland , his character , his achievements , his honoivhis patriotism and ilsnbliltv > vlll 'standwith' the " "foremost in spite of ail iho ass.iults that may be made , whether wo differ from him. or agree with liiiii. nobody fails to rccot'iiix.o his stalwart i ml powerful character , his mind and ills ntcgrity. 1 hope. Mr. President , thai this Ittlo tribute may be taken as suflicicnt to account for the fact that wo will not feel called upon to outer Into any defense of the president of the United States , unless some thing moro important may bo charged against him than has been up t.o Iho present time.

Markets are dull and leading securities familiarly gambled with on the Now York hoard are gasping for breath and weakly sinking lower and lower. Do you Know what the reason Is I Well , a great big piece of the reason for those lower off colored values into stock is directly due to the fact that quite a number of the members of the sacroi' sen ' ate of Iheso United States , who , between "deliberations" in the senate and "specula . tions" at.

These whoelimbcd the marble Illgbts of stairs to the galleries of the house in search of excitement and stimulating iuHuctiro of p.\rtis.in rancor , which It was expected the debate on the federal elections bill would create , were dls- ippointcJ , The llrst day of the debate liroved to bo unusually tamo. Tlio house was as calm as a mill pond all day. It will perhaps bo several days before partisan winds will lash tha waters into ti fury. The disappointment of the day was Mr. Dalliver's failure to oien the doluto for the repub licans. A temporary Indisposition throw this task upon the shoulders of Mr. Urosius of Pennsylvania. Both Mr. Tucker , who began the debate , and Mr. Urosius , who replied , however , acquitted themselves well and held the attention of the house. Mr. I.awson of Georgia and Mr. Dollivor will speak tomorrow. Just before the adjournment Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma got up Ids resolution calling upon the secretary of war for information mation regarding the alleged outrages com mitted by the military at the opening of the Cherokee Strip. Mr. Springer made the point of "no quorum.

The galleries of the house were well tilled this morning Inantlclpa- llon of the opening of thu debate on the bill to repeal Ihu federal elections laws. There was a pretty heavy attendance in the long-public gallery opposite the speaker's chair , which is known as the "black belt , " and the massing of negroes in the galleries Indicated Iho great interest they manifest in the result of the present struggle. The two weeks debate on Iho Tucker bill was begun by Mr. Tucker of Vir ginia , who opened for thu democrats hi a few words , llu explained the repeal bill. The first proposition to which he invited attention was that the power and right of a citizen to vote Is not given by tlio United States , but is reserved by the constitution of the slates. If thu powers nnd privileges and duties ol the supervisors and deputy mar shals permit them to perform acts not pro scribed and granted in tlio constitution , then Hie law tliat creates them is unconstitu tional. States alone can make conditions of suffrage. Mr. Tucker went on to say the United States liau not conferred the right of suf frage upon any ono. Decisions of the courts sustaining these statements were read. If Lho United States could step in and chal lenge votes it would involve the power of the federal government to destroy suffrage in the states. I'u III lilt ) Ki'spet'ln to , Iolm I. Diivrnport. ' I belong to a party that is not sectional. You , " ho added , addresslnsr the republicans , ' have lived on sectionalism. " Air. Tucker then proceeded to pay his re spects to John I. Davenpout , whoso atrocities : ho said , were n.oro infamous than those of the duke of Alva. "Tho repeal of these laws"said Mr. Tucker , in conclusion , "will wipe away statutes that have caused clash- imr between the federal government and the states'for thirty years. You have violated the pledges of your fathers , have overridden the constitution , have denied the right of habeas corpus and In a thousand ) ways shown yourselves unworthy of public confidence. Therefore , on November (5 ( last you wore overthrown , and wo are now here to undo these things which you did in the arrogance of your power. " Prolonged democratic applause greeted the conclusion of Mr. Tucker's speech and ho was warmly congratulated by his col leagues. Mr. Johnson of North Dakoka , who was in charge of the debate for the republican side , presented the minority report of the commit tee as embodying his views. Mr. Dolliver of I nva was to have replied lo Mr. Tucker , but a sudden Illness nrc- vented , and Mr. liroslus of Pennsylvania was selected to take his place. Mr. llrnilui' Tiillini ; riprocli.

His voice is loud and deep : his gestures frequent , violent and impetuous. Tnorp was a ring of thu old war echoes In bis speech , llonppealod.hu said I , to patriotism , not to partisanship. Authority ; was obtained either by force , lot or consent. Consent is the only manner In which authority Is acquired under this government. Suffrage is a mode of expressing the consent. A'ter the war conditions arose that were a menace to the liberties of a weak lace , struggling with now-horn rights and responsibilities. Tlioso in the south who had the power took and held it against the weak. Under that ro gimo wo had to protect those whom wu had ( | seen light loyally and gallantly for their freedom. To have surrcnUorcil thorn naked and defenseless would have been a reproach to the national honor and liavu evoked the deserved censure of the civilized world. The act thai was passed m I SIM authorizing the army and navy to maintain peacn at thu polls , moro drastic than the present laws , was endorsed h.\ sumo of thu most Illustrious men who over honored Hiu democratic party b > their service.
