POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

THE REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO VOTE on THE BILL
ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS
BREAK FAITH AND REFUSE TO ALLOW GARFIELD
To SPEAK.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrDUSEI
WASHINGTON, June 26.-1his morning tho Demo-
Gratis of the House again showed their contempt Tor
fairness and the ease with which they can break
promise.
When Mr.. Mclane of Maryland. made his furious
assault on the record of the Republican party more
than week ago, under the pretence of explaining
the remarkable Political Contributions bill, OF
which he is the author, he was enabled TO complete
his speech only by the courtesy Of the Republicans.
They allowed him to go for nearly an hour after
his time had expired. This was done on the under
standing assented to at the time by the Democrats,
that Republican should be granted All opportunity
to reply on the next or some early day.
On the following morning General Garfield tired
10 secure the floor TO reply TO Mr. McLane but was
cut off by the Democrats by the use OF the gag rule
To-day the bill came up again in the morning hour;
and again General Garfield refused an Oppor-
tunity to deliver his speech. Mr.. McLane was as
much indebted to General Garfield as to any one on
the floor for the courtesy extended TO him on the
original occasion, and he present this morning;
but he made no effort TO have the agreement by
which he had prOfted carried out.
The Republicans, therefore, again refused 20 vote
on the BILL and thus they defeated its present con-
sideratOn.
