WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.-Mr. Chittenden,
in the course Of his speech, referred to the
silver meeting in Chicago last December.
The shylocks mentioned in the Chicago
papers, report of the meeting were active
bankers and business men at home and
abroad, who, through the Chamber of
Commerce Of New York, gave Chicago
outright a round million dollars in her
hour of desolation, the very same men
who subsequently loaned Chicago scores
and scores of other millions, which have
been hopelessly squandered and lost in
quixotic ventures.
Mr.. Harrison, replying, said that while
the people of Chicago acknowledged the
generosity of the world when the city was
in ashes, yet they did not feel that the
rich men of New York who helped them
iu the hour of need should now keep them
from rising from their ashes.
Mr., Kenna advocated the remonetiza-
ton Of silver, repeal of the resumption act,
abolishing the national banking system
Ind granting full legal tender qualities to
greenbacks.
! Mr.. Ellsworth spoke 10 opposition to the
attempt TO array labor against capital for
the purpose of gaining political power and
advocated generaFamnesty bill.
Mr.. Hayes replied to the argument
against the remonetization Of silver and
defended that proposition.
| Mr.. Haskell also spoke in favor Of silver
reconciliation and Mr. Bell advocated tht
bill to pension soldiers of the Mexican war
Not more than dozen members were il
the chamber when the house adjourned.

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

Every moment Of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious choice
Of a remedy The amount Of testimony in favor of
DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schtnck's Almanac, containing the certificates
Of many persons of the highest respectabiity, who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounced incurablc by physicians Of acknowledged
ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
| cure is often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DR.. Schenck provides for the
purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according to direc'
tions. DR. schenck certifes that most any case Of
