Tbo speech of Mr. Wolcntt ngalnst the bill to repeal the pur chasing clause of the Shnrman not was de livered In the senate today In the presence of almost nil the senate nnd n laigo lobby. The telling parts of It , and those that Inter ested his hearers , were some humorous nnd sarcastic touches In which ho depleted the conversion of democratic statesmen fiom tholr belief In silver nnd tholr devotion to bimetallisms the gold monometallism be lief of the president. The next speech was on the opposite sldo of the question nnd was by Mr. Caffcry , the successor of Mr. Gibson of Louisiana. This was his first appearance In the senate ns a spocchmakcr , but the speech was remark- nblo ns a pronounced declaration in favor of -unconditional repeal of the Sherman law , nl- thouirh lie admitted the position taken by him might not meet the appiov.il of his stnto and might put ti bar to his further po litical career. Mr. Coekrcll introduced a concurrent icso- luilon directing the secretary of the treas ury ( under section 2.V. ) , Revised Statutes ) , to Issue certificates , not to exceed 'JO per cent of the amount of gold coin and bullion in the treasury , and to use nnd spend the same in payment of Intciest on the public debt or anything else it was needed for. Ilo said tbo passage of this icsolution would allow the issue of fiom S. > ,00,000 ( ) to $ .13.000- 000 In gold cortlllcnles Laid on Iho table Mr. Vooibees moved that the senate pio- eced to the consideration of the house bill to repeal the Sherman law. Woloott Taken the Floor. The motion was agreed to The bill was taken up nnd Mr Wolcott uddiessed the senate In opposition to it After constder- nblu persiflage , in which he twitted the scnatois on a change of views on the sil- vcr question to suit the Ideas of the admin- istr.ulon , ho declared hat Mr Hill's spojch tnlsht have been as well mndcugainst silver , as ho know that fieo coinage svas Impossi ble by separate act under this ad- ralnlslinllon. Ho quoted a foiiner utterance of Mr. Vooihces to show thu Inconsistency of , th it senator on the silver question. Ilo de clined that Voorhoes and bhcinmn weio for the flist time in accord , that Shcim.in would bo in fact the chairman of the finance com mittee instead of Vooihees All the senators knew Mr Cleveland would veto an Inde pendent silver coin igo measure. Ho hinted that If this bill passed the fieo silver men might vote against protection in any fotm It seemed unnccount iblo that in a panic the banks sliould object lo an mcicaso of Iho volume of money. Their plan SSMS , after iepo.il. to ask und probably cot nn issue of $100.000,000 in gold bonds. Tlio speaker then proceeded to controvert the uiguniuiit that thcio had been an over production of silver In Iho vvoilil nt big profits. Ilo showedin Iho case of Leadvillc , that $101,500,000 in silver hud heon pioducoJ nt n cost of $121,500,000 , the loss being changed to only a fair profit by the value of other products If only llio silver Mates i sv 010 concerned thov sv ould acquiesce with out piotest , bu' . it vvas a national question , affecting all parts of tno country. Cuirury'H 1'irit Klloit. The floor svas next t ikon by Mr. Cnffcry. His maiden speech in the scnato was in favor of the unconditional lupeal of the pur chasing clause of the Shot man act. He warned the senator from Colorado ( Mr. Wolcott ) if ho expcclod to smile away Iho soi lous money tioublos of the country as Corvanles had laughed avvay chivalry and romance from Spain , lie was doomed to sig nal falluio. Ho was proud of the position of his native state on the monev question blic hud alsvass been sound , nnd if his feeble ef fort svolild avail she alsvass svould bo Sorely templed , she refused in 1871) ) lo icpiullalu the principal of her bonded debt. Nosv thu so- ducllvo offer vvas made to debase the na tional currency , but her senatois , true to their convictions nnd the traditions of their state , had put aside the Inslduous pioposi- tlon , It might be his fate to feel thu turn " poniry weight of the forces of Inllillon. .It ! > might bu thnt thu star of his life , just aris ing abase thu hoii/on , might bo i elapsed into darkness by icason of his vote , but como what might , he should stand fast to the deep conviction thut-ho should bo 10- crrunt lo his duty should ho add one nang to povci ty , sliould ho glvo the people a cut- rcnov that icfusci to requite its to waul At iho close of Mr. Cattery's remarks Mr. Cullom gave notice- that ho svould addioss the sonata nn the icpcal bill next Monday.

WASHINGTON DUIIBAU OP Tun Dec , ] 513 FOUUTBESTII ST , > WASIIINUTON , Aug . : iu ) There was n rumor around the capital today that the baker's dozen of populist con gressmen , believing that they should glso osidcncaof their faith in silver and hutted of gold , had refused to receive gold coin In payment of their salaries. This was payday In Washington for all who drosv salaries from Uncle Sam , nnd gold coin svas paid to all classes. Inquiry failed to disclose any concerted action or understanding among the populist congressmen as t& receiving gold coin , but it svas found that a number of them had actually re fused to iceelvo the yellow coin from the pacing clerks of the tsvo houses of con- gicss. Representatives McICoIghiu and Ketn ot Nebraska stated that it was true that they had refused to receive gold uotn in liquidation of their salaries , whicli amount to little over M1G a month , but both denied that they had icfuscd tjold because they ssere picjudlccd against that class of money. They said they did not svant It because It is ns bulky. Mr MoIColghun accepted a check against the govcinment and Mi.
