|lor? than four hours were spent
babiad elosed doors an.l when the
leaata adjourned the Crum case was
no nearer a settl.in.nt than'when tba
matter flrst came up. fl
Senator TUIman took the floor he
called for a quorum and announcod
his prapaaa al naiataiaiaa a aaoiaat
throughout tbe .'..
This threat. which promis.-d t<.
compei the attemlance of S?-nators
whether they wished to listen to Mr.
Tillman's argument or not, bad to a
discusslon of the rules of the Senate.
The Vlce-Prestdent remlnded tl.
ator from South Carolina and ot
that during the eloslnjr hours of tho
last session. the Senate had ruled
that business must lntervene between
calls for a qeorum, and that under
that rullng a speech could not be con
strued as "business.''
Although th. Senators pres
ent who dlssent;ii from that ruling
and the construction placed upon it
by the Vlce Presldent there waa no
occasion during the afternoon to call
forth any further rullng on the ques
tion.
Mr. Tillman made an extended
apaaab against the conflrmation of Dr.
Crum. although r.o charges of any
sort had been preferred against him
or the adminlstration of the affairs
of h*s offlce during his iticumbency
of the term that has explred. Mr.
Tillman submitted*to the Senate a
number of communications he had
recelved from varloua eoinmerolal
bodles of Charleston opposing conflr?
mation, and used them in tho course
of his remarks to sbow the ovcr
whelming sentlment against the fur?
ther contlnuance of a colored offlcial
ln one of the moat important of the
Southern offlcea.
Taking the posltlon that where
there ia any eonslderable population
of a race that can not be asaimilated
by the wbite people of this country,
there is bound to be race ancagoniam
Mr. Baeon auatained Mr. Tillman In
his opposltlon to the eciection of a
Negro for this afjh
The Crum caae will come up again
to-day. lt being the pollcy of the Re
publlcana to keep it befbre the Senate
as much aa posslble. with a vlew to
