The morning hour, to which the
consideration of the bill was restricted,

aud nays, the opposition having re.
sorted to the tactics of delay. there IL
no possibility under the rules of the

motions. The alternatives are to re-
port the bill again and haye it re-

subject it to intefminsbie debate aud
amendments, or to pass 1t under sus.
pension OF the rules, and this would

The Star says: ''The banking and
currency committee this morning did
not agree upon the silver bill as was
expected. There WAS 80 much wrang-
ling in committee over the repeal OF
the resums.ion bill that the entire
two hours We're consumed in discussion

members who have been anxious for
the repeal, have discovered that the
Ewing repeal bill absolutely atolishes
free banking. This is really the pur.
pose of Ewing, who wishes to substi.
tute greenbacks for national bank
notes, but most of the western republi-
can infiationfsts are friends OF the ma.
tioDal banking system. 1t seems
possible. therefore, at the very out.
| set, that the infiatioaists are liable to
be split into separate factions upon
| this issue.
