WASIIIXOTON , D. C. , April 0. The sensa
tion of the day was the arraignment of the
administration by Senator .Wolcott. The
offense for which ho cltod the president was
the exorcise of inlluonco of the administra
tion to prevent legislation for the free coin
age of sliver , nnd the democrats wcro
naturally IntoroUod auditors to tbo crit
icisms of Senator Wolcott upon President
Harrison. Tbo speech of tbo senator from
Colorado , which Is this evening the topic of
conversation , was delivered in n perfectly
cnlm and collected manner and was a care
fully prepared manuscript.
"Tho silver bill , " said the senator , "has
been put to slcofvtu the house nn'd wo might
ns well face the truth on the silver question.
Nobody expected the measure to become a
law during this administration because
the present chief executive last cummer
foreshadowed his vote nnd tboso in his coun-
Eel had openly proclaimed it since. Tlio
friends of silver , however , had hoped tbat
they would at least score some advantage at
this session. If the votes of the two houses
bad been polled In full there would have
been n clear majority of fifty for free coinage
in tbo other body nnJ a majority of twelve
in this. But today if n vote were had on the
motion to take the silver bill from the calen
dar it would not bo carried. So the friends
of silver were loft fighting the air on a series
of general resolutions , ll was a proper time ,
therefore , for the friends ot free coinage ,
having practically suffered defeat , to gainer
up their wounded and dead , to determine
where the deserters uro hidden , fsrco tbcir
entrenchments for the next encounter nnd
stop possible destruction from the roar
Jlring , which had not only damaged
but surprised them. The great force
opposed to the silver bill was
in this congress ( as It had bean for three
years ) the present administration. No stone
had been left unturned , no effort unemployed
to compass the defeat of the measure. Thu
national convention was soon coming on nnd
decisive action on the silver question was
supposed to bo embarrassing , and a thing it
would bo bettor to avoid. The necessity of
n vote had to bo proved , and so the misera
ble work bad been begun.
Thcro Is u Tomorrow.
"Tho ofllcors had been paddled out , tbo
party lash had been cracked , nnd wavering
members had been gained. Tlio work had
apparently been effectively done , nnd yet
there wns always n tomoriow. Nobody was
deceived. But it would have been a good
act in an outgoing president to permit con
gress to vote according to Its own inclination
on a measure of national Importance.
"Tbo spectacle , humiliating as it was ,
showed a change of front uy a great section
of the democratic party. During the last
session the party had stood immtully to its
party tradition hard money. A clear ma
jority of its membiTH had tnkon the stump
before the election unu pledged thcmsclvcJ
that they would vote for the free und unlim
ited coinage of silver. The sudden change
would bo ridiculous if its effects wcro not
tragic. One prophet of the democracy an
nounced that tariff reform was the issue.
Another insisted that being n democrat was
n test nnd the watchword. But each politi
cal party hud become , in reference to the
silver question , what Disraeli had only
charged the lory party as being , an 'organ
ized hypociisy. ' But unless nil signs fail
they will Po anxious before long to
load the responsibility on the others ,
nnd the people will then have their
innings.1 Out of the wreck of hopes they
had cherished , one fact stood. The vast
mass of the people of the country are unrep
resented by either political party concerning
the question which they considered para
mount to every other. Not only was that
true now , but It seemed certain tbat the same
condition of forces would continue.
Uncomplimentary to llarrlxoii.
"It is apparent that the party in power ,
( with unanimity ) , will renomlnalc the 'pres
ent magnetic executive , ' [ Into this epithet
Mr. Wolcott throw much emphasis. ] 'Not
because , " ho uddcd , "no is the choice of any
considerable body of his party , but because
in tlio letter of retirement of the great secre
tary who had held his party bound by ties of
deepest affection und regard , no man of
creator slaturo than the present Insumbont
had boon found willing to stand. Because of
tbo blow that had struck silver aside , It
seemed equally manifest that the democrat
party would present its apostle of tariff re
form whoso vision had no other idea. "
The uncomplimentary allusions to Mr.
Harrison and Mr. Cleveland and the highly
Naming reference to Mr. Blalno hnd all the
effect on his auditors Mr. Wolcott could
have desired. Smiles of pleasure and signs
of pent up fcelitiL's woio the only outside
signs Rivon'aml ho went on with his speech.
Tbo senator reviewed the silver question in
detail nnd concluded by the assertion that
tbo people would speak and that free silvoi
Would bo their vordict.
Mr. Moigan offered the resolution which
ho presented yesterday and the resolutions
went over without action ,
Indian Appropriation Kill.
The Indian Appropriation hill was then
tnlcen up , tbo question being on Mr , Dawos'
motion to strike out the provision for the as
Blgnmont of army ofllcors remaining in the
bill.
bill.Mr
Mr , Pottlgrew offered nn amendment ap
propriating ? 167,000 for compensating the
Indians of the Crow reservation for loss in
their receiving less land per capita in their
diminished reservation than was rocolvcd by
tbo Indians occupying other reservations.
Tbo senate was then addressed by Voor-
hoea. who wont over the circumstances of
the Sioux outbreak oi last year , attributing
it , on the authority of General Miles , to hun
ger.
ger.Mr. . Pottisrow also nffcrod an amendment
authorizing the secretary of the intoilor to

The amendment offered by Mr. Burrows ,
striking from the first section of the free

nmemlmontof vital importance to tbo bill ,
wealed little intorcst and was rejected by n
vote nf ' . ' 8 to 1UO.
Mr. Otis of Kansas moved to strike out the
first section. The bill , ho sold , In its llrsl

Alexander's amendment was rejected ,
The vote recurrlm ; on Mr. Otis' motion to

Niiw YOIIK. April C. There was n notable
scene nnd lustotlc utterances in the hall at
Dclmoulco's tonight at too banquet of the
Order of tbo Loyal Legion given by Iho Now
Ycrk commandory. Chlof among those nt
the lablo were John Shannon , brother of the
doau general , W. T. Sherman , nnd Miss Liz-
zlo Tecumseh Sherman. Bcsldo tbotn were
Thomas Ewing and Chief Engineer nnd Mrs.
J. C. ICoy. The Sherman futility was so
fully represented bocuuso the gray-haired
nnd rugged brother of the ex-soldier , who
sat as chlof at the guest's table , was to speak
upon the life and deeds of the warrior , Will-
lam Ttcumsoh Shornmi.
aTuo largo dining hall could hardly accom-
modulo nil the guests. Many of thorn dlnod
In the onto room. General Wagner Swayno
presided. Among the guests were : Seuntor
Sherman'General O. O. Howard , General 1
Goorpo S. Greene , General T. H. Hubbard ,
General George M. Dodge , General Charles
A. Charlton , Rev. Mr. Cramer , chaplain of
tbo commandory ; Colonel C. P. Clark , Gen
eral Henry W. Slocum , General Horace Porter
ter , Captain Klngsbury , Hear Admiral
Bralno , Rov. Charles S. Lnno nud Assistant
Paymasters Lakomun and Barton , Chief En
gineer Frazer , Surgeon General Hammond.
When General Swayno introduced Senator
Sherman as the speaker of the evening there
was sllenco for the moment that Intervened
before tbo statesman uroso. Then thora
broke forth the sound of hand-clapping and
then cheers and a tumult ot applause that
imisthavo boon exceed Ingly gratifying to
Mr. Sherman. When the applause had sub
sided Mr. Sherman spoko.
Senator Sherman's Speech.
Mr. Sherman said it was a delicate task on
account of their relationship for him to respond
spend to the toast in honor of tbo memory of
General Sherman. As to his merits ns a
soldier tbu speaker was not au impartial
judge. General Sherman's standing as such
would rest mainly upon the opinion of bis
comrades and the ofilcial record , even now
being gathered Into volumes , lee larso lo bo
road except by the compilers nnd proof
readers. The speaker could say nothing
but to recall several incidents illus-
trulivo of Ins life from boyhood to
'old ago. Ho reviewed a history of tbo boy
hood of his brother and told how the death
of their father loft nearly destitute n family
of eleven children. Necessity soon compelled
the partial breaking up of the family , and the
four younger children were adopted by
friends. "Cump , " as the general was called
in his youth , entered tbo family of Hon.
Thomas Ewiug , soon after a senator of
the United-States.
Continuing Mr. Sherman said : "By h'is
Influence William Tecumsch Sherman was
appolnt d In July , 1830 , n cadet to West
Point , und there laid the foundation for his
military career. About n year later , I , nt
the ago of H , was employed as a junior redman -
man bytho Musklngum Improvement com
pany. Soon after commenced the corres
pondence between us which continued
until within a week of his death
only Intercepted when tha trend of
outlives brought us tojrolbor at Wash
ington. In this correspondence , carefully
preserved , relating to every material event
of his life , is to bo found the opinions and
motives that guided him in every period of
bis career , and it is the basis of'whutl have
lo say lonlght.
Ordered to Florida.
"Cadot Sherman graduated at West Point
in the summer of 1S10. After a brief visit to
Ohio , he was ordered to Florida , to take part
In the Indian war. H was during this time ,
when sent on official duty in connection with
Indian accounts through several stales , lhal
ho became familiar with tha region around
Atlanla , a knowledge of great service during
his campaign of ISO I. Ho had a strong pre
judice against the abolitionists , who , bo said ,
would disturb the peace of the country to
carry out Utopian views.
"On the approach of the Mexican war
Cadet Sherman was ordered lo Pitts ourg on
recruiting duty , but was so impatient lo join
the army then gathering laurels in Mexico
that bo applied in ralhcr an abrupt manner
for leave lo join his company , but Iho result
was ho was oont wilh another company
around Capo Horn to California to take that
country , then a portion of Mexico , until the
war should determine its ownership. The
story ot long voyages , the occupation of
California , tbo discovery of gold by Marshall
and the vust and hotoreogcnoous migration
to tbo gold field is as well told in General
Sherman's memoirs as it was told to mo in
his letters. Tbo first details of the gold dis
covery made known in Ohio was in a
lotler from him , which WHS read wllh in
credulity , aud many came from far and near
lo sco his letters , and have assurance from
some ono that un industrious man could earn
an ounce of gold a day In California. Gen
eral Sherman shared in the ups aud downs of
this world.
Ills lliinlncsH Ventures.
"Whilo an ofllccr In the United Stales
army In California his daily pay became in-
suflloient to buy n dlnnor. His servant
deserted him lo earn $10 n day. To muko a
living ho was allowed n leave of absence and
earned as n surveyor Ion llmos as much ns
his pay as nn officer. In iwo or ihrco years
ho was compelled lo resign his commission
in order to support himself and family , nnd
embarked In banking. After remarkable
success ho had to weather the storm of a general -
oral panic , which broke the strongest banks
of San Francisco. Ho saved the credit of
his house by the sacrifice of all his earnings.
"At the request of General Wool , and the
governor of California , bo undertook to put
down the vigilance coinmltloo which , with
out law , assumed to hang people. Ho turned
from banking to the law. I cannot suy that
bo wns a success in this venture.
"Ho was soon called to Iho head of a mili
tary institution In Louisiana , This gave
him an employment suited to bis active tem
perament. But soon ho was compelled to
choose bis side In tbo great tragedy of our
civil war. Secession would destroy the
union and therefore ho was opposed to seces
sion. It is certain ho did not leave on ac
count of slavery. His sympathy and friend
ship were largely with tbo south. In a let
ter of November 7,1S5I , congratulating mo on
in v election as United Slates senator , hn says ,
As n young member I hope you will not bo
too forward , especially on the question of
slavery , which it seems is rising avery year
moro and more Into n question of real dan
ger , notwithstanding the compromises , Hav
ing lived n good deal In the south , I
think I know practically moro of elavery
than you do. If It were u now question , no
ono would contend for introducing It , but it
Is an old and historical fact that you must
take a side on , '
IIU Intense I'atrlotlHin.
Ifo nckuoxvlcdged fealty to tlio north , and
voted for General Grant. The motive that
led him Into tlio war was hU intense patriotIsm -
Ism , This was the most striking trait of bis
character. Tbo nvlls of slavery , the dictates
of party and the hope of promotion hud no
influence with him. The seizure of
arsenals of the United States In
IbUl , and the forced surrender of
Captain Hasklns" company of artillery , thu
transfer of some of the arms to the military
academy in charge of General Sherman ,
making him the receiver ot stolen goons
and those goods the property of the United
States tired his blood , aroused hU patriotIsm -
Ism aud forced him to take bis stand. On
the Ibth of January , 1 bill , the ordinance ot
secetsiou and iho capture ot tbo forts below
Now Orleans , ho sent the govrrnorof Lot' '
ana the noted letter In which Iu asked to _ ,

With film to sco Lincoln. I honrd the con
versation. General Sherman referred to lha
fact that ho was educated nt West
Point. Ho stated the condition ot nffnlrs
in Louisiana nnd that ho felt it his duly
to tender his services to the president for
nny military position for which ho wns
deemed fitted. The president said ho hoped
they would not need so.dlors. What was
said by Mr. Lincoln wns kindly meant , but
It hnd'nn unpleasant effect on Colonel Sher
man , who was deeplv Impressed with the
eravity of the situation. When ho loll ho
said to mo , 'Those men are sleeping on n
volcano. But I hnvo done my duly.1 "
OR'vrcd III * SorxIces to the Co\eminent.
Continuing , Mr. Sherman told how his
brother wont to St. Louis nnd became presi
dent of n street railway company. His
letters nt that time and during Iho
early days of the war , said Mr.
Sherman , showed n highly excited state
of mind. An effort wns made to hnvo
him to go to Ohio nud raise n regiment , but
ho said ho would have nothing to do with
"Uiroo-months" volunteers ; that ho would
not Identify himself with a partisan govern
ment , whoso first movement would fall nnd
whoso loaders could bo sot aside
When the call lor throe-years reg
iments was made his objections
disappeared. Ho wrote lo the sec
retary of war , tendering his services In the
capacity for which ho was trained. Ho was
soon appointed colonel ol the Thirteenth In
fantry , ono of the now throe-batallion regi
ments.
The speaker then briefly sketched the out
lines of General Shormnn'a war career nnd
In the course of his address described the
gallant part ho took in the battle of Slnloh.
"Hero , " continued iho speaker , "commenced
his friendship with Grant , which like that
of Dimon nnd Pythias has boon made the
subject of story and song. It was ono of
the most Interesting incidents of the war and
continued unbroken wbilo both lived. The
cimpalgn nt Vicksburg was tlio work ot
General Grant , to whom General Sherman
awarded all the credit. In n letter dated
May 'JO , ISO' ! , ho says : 'General Grant is
entitled to all the merits of Us conception
and execution. '
"General Sherman always regarded his
march from Memphis lo Chattanooga and
the battle of Chattanooga ns among the most
imporlnnt incidents of his life. The gonornl
public have regarded the march from Al-
lanta 10 Ibo sea wllh great Intorcst , but in
fact it was nn easy tasK , wilh lilllo resist
ance and less fatigue. When nothing was
hoard from General Shormau there was n
feeling of deep anxiety. Sharing this fool
ing , I wont to Mr. Lincoln , hoping hn hnd
received some intelligence. Upon my In
quiring , ho sold : 'Oh no , wo have hoard
nothing from him. Wo know where ho wont
in , but do not know what hole ho will como
out of. '
"It was a joyful Christmis day in the
north when ho was on the shores of the At
lantic. With the approach of General Sher
man toward Richmond It was manifest ibat
the last days of the confederacy were draw
ing near.
Carried Out Lincoln's I'olcy. |
"Whon ho reached Goldsborough ho re
ceived word that tbo.presldnnt dcsitfod to
meet him. Ho wont aiid held the famous In-
torvlow with President Lincoln. Ho wns
then confident of the overthrow of the re
bellion , Lincoln was studying over tbo best
mode of closing-tho war and restoring the
old union. When Joluibton proposed to sur
render Iho conversation with Lincoln was in
the mind of tbo general , nnd ho believed that
In agreeing lo Iho terms of the hur-
render ho wns cairyinc oul iho plans of
Mr. Lincoln. Ho could not know that the
brutal murder of Lincoln had aroused in the
minds of the people of Iho north n deep lecl-
ing of resentment whlah would not tolornto
tbo liberal terms granted to Johnston , nnd
the remnant of the rouel forces. But for
this desperate act the whole hlsiory ot ro-
conslruclion would have been reversed.
General Sherman believed In and sought lo
carry oul Iho policy of Air. Lincoln. The
lerms of surrender were entirely subject to
the supervision of the executive autborllics ,
bill instead of being submitted to the gener
ous aud forgiving patriot who had
fallen , they were passed upon in
the shadow of n great cnmo bv
stern and relentless enemies , who would not
have consented to the condllions imposed by
General Grant upon General Lee und who
would have disregarded them had not General -
oral Grant threatened to resign upon Iholr
refusal lo carry out his terms.
"When tbo arrangement with General
Johnston was submitted lo President Lin
coln by Mr. Slnnlon it was referred with the
Insulting informalion that it proceeded either
from cowardice or treachery. Tbo old cry
against General Sherman was again started ,
It was oven imputed thai bo would'aliompt
to piny tbo part of a Cromwell. The gener
ous Iqndness'of Grant came to his relief , now
terms were ngroed on ana the war closed.
Ills Actions Misjudged ,
"It scorned to bo the fate of Gonornl Sherman -
man that when ho wns clearly right ho wns
deemed to bo clearly wrong. His services
were rejected when ho urged prompt action.
Ho was adjudged Insana when his mind wus
most clear , nnd was doomed false to his
trust nt the close of iho war when ho en
deavored to carry out tno policy and inslruc-
lions of Lincoln.
" 1 close this brief nnd Imperfect reference
to the military soi vices of General Sher
man with iho pageant that , will ho for
ever engraved upon my memory and pro-
nfirved in history us one of the most
Imposing cl vlo demonstrations of nil time. A
review of thounion armies wus ordered on
iboSllh nnd ? 5lh duvs of May , 1SO. " > . Then
wo galhorod In Washington over 201,000 rcul
soldiers , thoroughly disciplined , nnd equal 10
nny army that marched in n Roman triumph ,
and who were ublo to bo reviewed by vast
musses of their countrymen. Thus closed u
memorable war. General Sherman took n
deep interest in the conduct of thu troops ho
had so long'commanded. The only cry of
exultation I over heard him utlor wns when
ho mounted his horse lo take his place at Iho
head of the line on the second day
of the roviow. Speaking for him
self nnd his army ho said :
'This Is our day.1 Ho was then in the prlmo
of manhood , 45 years old , and his name has a
place In the history und a pluco in the
hearts of his countrymen. Ho proudly rode
alone the length of Pennsylvania avenue
from the capitol to tbo while house , receiv
ing the cheers nnd covered ; with llnwers from
a crnioful people , nnd , as was Grant , sur
rounded by an cn'buslustlc multitude , "
His Career After the War.
Mr. Sherman reviewed iho general's ca
reer nfler iho war. "Politics , " ho said , "ho
carefully avoided. Ho was urged to acoopt n
nomination for president , but bo would not
listen to U. When I had an inclination that
way ho remonstrated : 'Why , John , llioy
will Kill you ; they killed Harrison , they
killed Taylor und Lincoln and Gartlcld , nnd
will kill you,1 It wns useless to toll him
some people were killed iu war and that the
presidency was not necessarily a fatality/1
The speaker told of the general's love for
his mother , wife and family and of his ven
erated foslcr-mothor , and continuing said :
"Ho was Iho most unselfish man I over
know. He did not BcoU for high rank , and
often expressed doubts of his fitness for high
command. Ho never asked for promotion ,
but accepted it when given , Ills letter * tome
mo are full of urgent requests for the promo
tion of olllccrs who rendered distinguishing
services , but never for bis own. When tbo
bill for tbo retirement of oflleor * at the age
of 03 wus pending , be was excepted
from its operations. Ho tclojrrapbed

made In his favor , that General
Sheridan should have the promotion and
rank of general , whlob ho bad fairly earned.
