WAsHINGToN July 2G.-Speaker Sayler ruled this
morning that the contested election case of Platt
against Goode being the unfinished business, must
be disposed of before the morning hour. and thus
prevented the House from proceeding to the consid-
Grafton of the Silver bill to-day As the contested
election case was not decided it will still stand IN
the way of morning hour Tomorrow, so that Mr.
Bland Will probably be unable to obtain the tloor
until late in the day Every days delay i'll the con-
sideration of the Silver bill makes its passage more
and more doubtful. Many Representatives who
were first led asfray by the sophstres of the silver
inlationsts have had their attention called
to the inevitable results of passing either Of the
bills proposed, and VIII vote against them in future.
Besides this the chances of using up the time by
fbustering become better the close Of the ses-
sion approaches. Nh Homan's amendment, by
which he proposes to repeal certain portions Of the
Resumption act will be FIRST attacked a point of

gTess TO egslate at all upon this subject, every

Of making haste slowly and OF avoiding any legis-

Very few Of the central ward clubs

Monday to elect their commissioners OF
registration This duty will. therefore,
deyolye, in accordance with the rc3olu-
tions Of the Parish Committee, on the
presidents Of the respective central
clubs. The resolutions Of the Parish
Committee referred to were adopted
with the determination that the prelimi-
naries Of the coming campaign should
be carried on in the wards with the ut
most fairness and free from the tUrbli-
lence that sometimes attend "prelimi-
naries." It Is sincerely hoped that the
presidents Of central clubs will emulate
the spirit Of the Parish Committee, and
in every case where the duty Of appoint
ing these commissioners shall deyolve
upon them, commissioners shall be Sc
lected with impartiality and all sides
shall be represented. There is no real
reason to apprehend unfairness, but 1T
is well to impress this fact upon the
minds OF the ward presidents, in order
that nothing shall be done to mar the
harmony OF the workings OF the De-
mocratic Conservative party in this city.
