way OF prompt disposal Of It, then will at onco
move the previous question the adoption Of the
Senate amendments. What he wants. In a word, is to
dispose Of the bill at the earliest possible moment
but without resorting to undue haste he wishes

| House that the President will sec how

recognize the voice Of the people In making up his
mind to what action he should take regarding the
use OF tho veto. Mr.. Buckner expresses himself as
pleased with the strength which the bill has sh own
and says that II Is useless to oppose its adoption
There will be further consideration and
discussion by the members OF tho Silver Union OF
what tn friends of bill ought do In the House
Mr. Bland, the father OF the original BILL expresses
himself not ut all satisfied with tho form when

fully remonetze silver. It looks so. but It only
