President Cleveland backs a hands off stance while Congress debates the approach and public sentiment divides along party lines.
The federal election bill dominated Senate activity but saw no debate as speakers were not ready. After a brief procedural exchange among Chandler Gray and Gorman the measure was postponed to next Monday with Gray signaling a conservative push for a vote.
