Debates Show Party Lines On Cuban Reciprocity Bill
Washington April 9 The first day of debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill revealed party splits as 114 Republicans and 63 Democrats supported moving to a committee of the whole while 41 Democrats and 39 Republicans opposed. Speaker Payne opened with a strong speech as Newlands urged inviting Cuba to join the U S if extended, and McClellan pressed for 50 percent relief though willing to vote for the bill if rate rises. In the Senate Cullom protested the Chinese exclusion bill, citing treaty obligations with China even as he supported excluding Chinese laborers. After a three hour Democratic conference, lawmakers adjourned, leaving members free to act individually in hopes of passage.
