Tbo Crale-Stownrt elec tion case wns the subject under discussion , nnd nlthough the contcstnut nnd contestoo nro residents of the Twenty-fourth Pennsyl vania district , the discussion soon assumed n wide scope and afforded partisans of both political faiths an opportunity to denounce their political antagonists to their heart's content. The majority of the committee find In favor of Contestant Craig , and the minor ity hold that the sitting member , Stewart ( republican ) , Is entitled to retain tils seat. Itepuhllean Politicians Arraigned , Representative Brown of Indiana led the debate In behalf ot Contestant Craig , and wns particularly severe In his Indictment of lending republican politicians.

Continuing , Mr. Brown reported tbo pro ceedings of the federal court in the attempted Indictment of Mr. Dudley nnd others , nnd charged Judge Woods with a violn'tlon of the oath of bis high ofllco In interposing to aavo prominent republicans of national repute from Indictment and tlogrodulion. Why DomouratH Attack .Iiulgo WoodH. The defense of Mr. Dudley and the other lenders of the republican party was mndo by Mr. Johnson , who was the lending speaker for .the contcstco.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. 25. In the senate today Mr. Halo's resolution of January D , calling on tbo secretary of the treasury for copies of the reciprocity agreements under the last tariff act was then taken up aud Mr. Vest moved tbo following amendment ; "And the secretary of state will also In form the senate whether any stops hnvo been < taken by his authority to negotiate a reel- \ procal treaty wltb Mexico , nnd , If so , what bas boon done and with what results. Also that the secretory inform the sonata If nego tiations have been Inaugurated for thu pur pose aforesaid , and , If they have been un successful , what bas been the causa of the failure. * ' Tnt-llf Will Ho the Lending lime. Mr. Vest addressed the senate In reply to Mr. Halo's speech on tbo resolution. Ho agreed wltb Mr. Halo that the discussion of the question would become the leading Issue In the approaching national canvass. Quoting from Mr , Halo's speech , the state ment that It was only the reciprocity feature of tbo tariff bill that bad saved the repub lican party from being totally swamped In the last election , Mr. Vest said thut It seemed to bis benighted mind that ibo result ot thcso elections ( in the senate and house of representatives ) constituted a swamping process oven on the const nf Maine. Ho re ferred to the famous Incident In which Mr. Blnino was represented at having smashed his silk hat in balllod rage as ho denounced MoKlnloy and bis colleagues on account of tbo removal of the sugar duties , and said that a full report of that occurrence had been published In an interview , prepared by Wil liam E. Uurtls , chief of the Bureau of Amer ican Uopubllcs and adjutant of tbo reciproc ity arrangements. Much ot Mr. Vest's speech consisted of questions about tbo speeches of republican senators in tbo tariff debate. Democratti I'uvor Keclprocity. Tbo democratic party bad boon fbp'rcsonted by Mr. Halo as being opposed to tbo policy of reciprocity. Mr , Vest docied that asser tion and declared that tbo democratic party was only opposed to sham reciprocity. The reciprocity arrangement with Brazil did not bonollt the American farmer. No act of con gress could chance the Inexorable law ol supply and demand , which prevented un ag ricultural people from purchasing agricul tural proa-ictn. South America furnlibcd nc inarkot for ibo agricultural product * of the United Stntos. Every man qualified to vsto know that the market for American agricul tural products was In Great Britain , not in South America. Why stop with South America nnd sugnrl Why exclude shoddy nnd clothing ! Genuine reciprocity wns free trndo. Ml. Halo nnld that ho did not propose to bo drawn now Into a general discussion on the merits or weakness ct tbo McKlnley tariff bill. Ho supposed from the Indications nt tbo ether end of thocnpltol that the proper opportunity would bo given before the reso lution closed to discuss the McKlnlov bill , Its operations on the country nnd whether or not , on the whole , It had been beneficial. The senator from Missouri and himself did not agrco on thnt , the senator believing thnt the tariff bill was the sum of nil financial iniquit ies , nnd ho believing thnt it wns a sound , strong moisuro nnd that the scnso of Its met its would increase with the American people the longer It was examined by thorn. What the democratic parly wanted and bo- llovcd In wns simon-pure frco trndo. Purely n Itepnblleuii Doctrine. Mr. Hnlo read n newspaper pnragrnph , showing thu Increase of Imports to Cuba of American Hour since the reciprocity arrange ment wont into effect , nnd said that the flour ot old Spain had been driven out of the mar ket. In loavlnff this subject ho could only nay thnt time would tell moro fully as to ivhothor the senator from Missouri or ho vcre right ns to the bonollcont acts of ro il nroclty. The senator wus In n dllemmn. toclprocityhnd boon the republican policy , t wa * ono of Its corner stones. It would go of ore the American people In the next cam- nlgn. There Is not n miner or n laborer or farmer or n shipper who was not Interested n reciprocity and in its success , nnd who vns not hoping nnd praying for its success , "hut wns tbo attitude of the republican arty. Mr. Vest snid that the very fundamental ortrlnoof the democratic party wns freer rado nnd Inrgor Intercourse with the whole vorld and the increase which Mr. Halo bnd nontionod of Imports ot American flour Into luba proved thnt the democratic pnrty wns Ight , nnd when the duties were put down xports were Increased. The fundamental octrlno on which the democratic pnrty teed today was larger trndo and Inrgcr mar kets for the American furraor. And the ro- ubhcan party in inserting their reciprocity cction In the McKinley bill had attempted o got out of Its ditllculty by stealing a por- lon of the doctrine of democrats. It never .vould have tnkon reciprocity with any coun- ry under heaven hud It not been for the In llgnntton of the people of the United States .gainst the McKinley bill. Other Senators Will Discuss the Turin1.
