Ito Wisconsin.
Both sides, however, seem determined 10
continue the deadlock. Tho democrats say
the triumph Of Malone and Ricdlcberger
would lead to the organization OF formidable
reputation parties IN half dozen OF south
ern states, and politics and governments there
would become hopeleSsly dcmoralized. The
republicans look upon such a triumph as a
hopeful means Of splitting up the southern
democracy, besides which, in the present con
dition Of their family squabble over the spells,
they dread gong into executive session, and
would rather see the Quorum broken and the
senate dispersed, so that Garfield. appointees
can take possession of their offices and hold
at least until next winter
On Tuesday, however the deadlock was
broken long enough to pass resolution call

ment of Michael Boynton in Ireland by the
British government, the evidence being that
BOynton IL citizen of the United States. The
resolution having passed, the deadlock was
immediately resumed; and Beck started in
with speech In continuation Of the drcary
debate over the Malone Rlddlebcrger bargain
In the course of that debate on Wednesday
there was repetition of the Malone and
Voorhees, scene, with Hill in place of Wabash
Dan. Hill, replying TO Rollins Of n. H.,
charging the democrats with an attempt to-
effect an arrangement with Malone, said the
democrats, whatever the temptation, had re-
fused 10 buy Manone's vote. AT this Malone

opinion, but IF ne did not mean to imply that

Mr. Window, TO get over the difficulty of

in July on account Of Hayes foolish veto OF
the funding bill, devised an CXpedent for

He has called IN all the SIX per cents, amount

prefer new bonds to the cash to swap 3Ls per
cent bonds, payable at the pleasure of the
for their SKIES. II Is is probable
most of the holders of the skies are willing tol
make the swap, but happy il, instead Of 1t,
they should demand the cash, Window would

also succeeds, will be the virtual refunding at
81. per cent, OF all the debt falling due, where
IS if Hayes had not stupidity been scared by
the banks into vetoing the refunding bill, the
whole debt would have been refunded ut per
