Of Mr.. r. /
Mr.. pendleton asked the gentleman WHO insisted
on Mr. Rohc,tson's nomiualinn. to give some cx- |
position OF IRIS views on the great questions oil The
slnr.
Mr. Da,y referred to Mr. Robersons votes a
rains, the Sub Treasury, aud the fact OF his having
introduced plan for special deposies, and The re-
ceipt nf convertible bank paper.
Mr. Johnsou's name Withdrawn in the Senate,
aud the fact announced 10 the House.
Mr. Sefsan, charged ms friend from Rappahan /
mock (Mr. pcndetoG) with attempting to dragoon
the Wings into the election OF Mr.. Ryes. Mr.. |
Servant announced that lac was member al the |
Democratic party, aud would longer be called a
Wing
Mr.. Peyton regarded The explanations OF Mr., Ro-
ber;son's views As being IN favor OF the Special DE.
posite System as amounting TO nothing, and called
Tor more specific explanations. The president had
recommended alternative Special Deposite plan,
equivalent he thought 10 the Sub Treasury and he
believed Sir. Robertson was in favor of that. There
were various depnsre pl1ns recommended from va
rious quar,cfs--and he wished 10 know which MI
Robertson ptelerred.
Mr. Bayiy responded that Mr. Robertson had vo
ted against the Sub Treasury IN the House of Rep
reseniaiiyes. and had introduced Special Deposlte
plan-and hence he concluded him to be against the
Sub-Treasurv. and IA favor Of special Deposte
Scheme, which required the public dues TO be paid
in gold and silver. and placed Special Deposne.
Mr.. Bayy urged Mr.. Robefsons friends 10 adhere
10 him. aud expressed The conviction that he could
be- and that he was the only man in Virginia who
could be elected.
Mr. Watkins called the previous question.
M, Peyton denounced the ca--i,s effect to
gag inquiry when new nominations were before the
House.
Mcssfs NeuabIe, Chopper and Bolts demonstrated
against the call.

The Speaker stated that scoo riding TO British pre-
cedenis. The effect OF tins vote TO Withdraw the
subject forrhe day from before the House.-But
the Chair while it felt itself bound 10 State tins, did
NOT conc mr. in the correctness OF that view.
Mr.. Peyton considered that Mr. Robertson had
by his vote in 1884 (fof Gordons resoudon) announ-
ced himseIfa Sub Treasury man, wished to know
with more cxacfness than he had been informed,
what his present opinions, and what The precise
nature OF that Deposlte scheme which lie preferred.
This scheme was examined by Mr.. Peyton, who
took occasion 10 extend to the new Spartan Band
OF the Z" Imprac,icabes' his special coincidence for
the embarrassing position into which they
about 10 be thrown by the new move OF nominating
Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Bsyly inquired in response If he showed Mr.
Robertson 10 be all The gentleman wished. II he would
then vote for him J
Mr.. Pcyion replied that he would with The
greatest pleasure but for the fact that he had Rich
mond in the field who he knotC agreed with him IN A
sentiment,
Mr. Smith of kanawhi then renewed the cali for
the previous question. which sustained by large
majority
