A Triumph for the Silver Men.

Special to The Times-Democrat
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 26.-The silver
men were triumphant in the House to-
day beyond their utmost expectations.
They would have been content with
showing strength enough simply to de-
feat the securing of the two thirds
necessary to the success OF the PROPOSE
ton to suspend the coinage of the silver
dollar Eighty votes would have been
a formidable showing. L was nearly
twice this number that were cast,
the result was that instead of there
being two-thirds in favor of the PROPOSE
tiont there was a clear majority of
thirty one against it. The vote stood lis
III favor of the suspension of the
coinage of the silver dollar for one
year, and l49 against it. The silver
men are elated, and hailed the result
with lound clapping of hands
The anti-silver men were correspond
ingly depressed and much surprised
They had carried the proposition in
committee by a large vote, and did not
doubt their ability to sustain themselves
in the House. They recovered them
selves at once, however, and promptly
gave up the contest. Mr.. Randall, con-
Tossing very frankly to the significance
of the vote Just cast, had the section
stricken out CT the sundry civil bill.
An examination of the vote as cast
shows that the Democrats of the South,
the West and the Northwest voted very
generally in favor of the silver dollar,
while the Eastern Democrats and a
large majority of the Republicans op,
posed it.
After the result was made known, Mr..
Warner, of Ohio, was asked to give out
for publication the letter which Mr..
Cleveland addressed to the silver men
in Congress several days ago. This he
declined to do without Mr.. Cleveland's
permission. This, it is understood, has
tonight been asked. Should it be grant
ed, accompanying the letter from Mr..
Cleveland will be copy of the one the
silver men addressed to him, so that the
country may enjoy a full understanding
of the whole corresp ondence.

Governor Lowry and the East Mis-
sisslppi Insane ASYLUM.


/ EDIToR CLARION: The following APP
peared in the New MississiPpian yester-
day;
When the Legislature Of ISS2 made an
appropriation OF $50. 900 10 build the East
NJ Mississippi Insane Asylum at Meridian,
| Gov. Lowry very rightly gave the measure
his approval; bat when the contractors
stipulated 10 erect the said binding Tor
said amount, aud proces ded not to do what
they promised to de-, but instead, put up a
bnilding costing the taxpayers $50, 900,
$50 900 more than their original barga N
with the State authorized them to do, this
self-same Governor did wrong when he
sanctioned anv such a high-handed pro-
ceeding. The amount stipulated IN the
bill creating this institution was the sum
accepted by the contractors, and Tor that
amount they agreed to put up the struc-
ture in question: They had no authority
to erect building costing $4,000 more
than the one the Legislature had in its
eve at the time the bill was passed, and
the Governor, who must have been eogni-
zant OF what was on foot, Is to be blamed
for permitting such wilfnl disregard of
the original contract made with the State
by the contractors aforesaid"
Il will be seen that the Ne,r Hiss3SsiD-
pida charges the Governor with knowl-
edge of the fact that the commissioners
had disrcgarded the original control.
This Is best determined by reference to
the record. On page 337 of the House
Journal for 1884 the Legislative com
mit.ee appointed to Investigate the mat
ter said:
Zone Of the building committee inform
ed your committee that in making the
l. H..
the law under which they Were appointed
and kept the fact from the knowledge OF
the Governor and Treasurer. believing, a.
ne said, if these officials had known that
the work was being done under contract
made in violation OF law, the Governor
would not have approved the bills submit
ted to him, and the Treasurer would not
have paid them.
1t therefore appears that the Ne1c
.NississippiaR is in error in charging Gov
ernor Lowry with knowledge of the
transaction. In this connection, we
feel constrained to remark that it is
highly creditable to Gov. Lowry that
nothing more serious than this silly
charge can be brought against him.
But lest the Building Committee,
which was composed of Hon. II. NJ
Street and DIR. J. +. Moore, may be sub
jected to undeseryed censure, we desire
to call attention to their report on page
33S of the House journal in which the
reasons for their action are fully and
explained. That they
acted right and for the lasting interests
of the State is conclusively shown, and |
the people are indebted to their courage
to assume responsibility for the finest
asylum in the country for the price.

Ths Land Redemption Cases.

A PtssyoRe special from Jackson says:
"The Attorney-GeneraPs opinion in re-
gard to tbs redemption of the lands from
the State by the receiver in the matter of
the 800, 900 acres held, hash been construed
TO mean that the lands must be taken regu-
larry as they are reached upon the records.
In other words, when township, section
or county is started upon. all must be taken
consecutively before redemptions are made
in other localities, and does not mean thai
the whole of the lands or none shall be re-
deemed, as telegraphed yesterday. The
Auditor, will, We learn, commence issuing
Receiver Stewart deeds upon this plan
Monday. These lands are worth million.

MARCH 4TEz, 1888.

All hail, ye now, your nations chief
on this, the inaugural day
4 dispensation new begins
The old has passed away.
For many long and weary years,
one party has controlled,
But now, to-day, new reign begins,
New names will be enrolled.
The Democrats have struggled long,
To elect president
Their burdens long in silence bore,
Till their patience all spent;
New rule they sadly needed,
A nd with united voice,
They met in union at the polls,
And CLereldad was the choice.
And a glad and happy murmur,
Was swept throughout the land,
The people were rejOiced TO have,
Hendricks for second man.
The old reign now is over,
To-day brings in the new;
And when our leader has been tried,
oh may he be found true.
True to the interests Of the South,
True also to the North;
Let all the nation see,
What Democratic rule is worth.
We hope the glorious victory,
Gained in November past,
With the Democratic party,
Forever more may last.
And let the oarpet-baggers,
Howl with rage and dismay,
Democrats are victorious,
And this, the inaugural day,
Let them say just what they please,
The truth to all is plain,
That the people wanted CteUeLqnd,
Instead of James q Blaine.
