JobfrY-A 81 900. 900 AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.

opponents OF the -millon-dollar canal improve
ment appropriation succeeded In preventing the pas
sage OF bill aDpropriatng that amount to tho use Of
the democratic Campaign this fall The Democrats
nave WORRIED hard for this appropriation and aided By
the few Republicans who come from canal districts,
they hoped TO carry 1t through The fight this morning
came out Of Assemblyman Rysns bill providing for the
appropriation OF 100000 Mr.. Gallagher of Erie, got
THIS bill TO third reading by suspending the rules and
allowing It to be read out OF It's order. Immediately
on the announcement OF this result Robert Ray Haml-
ton moved the previous question, hoping to prevent
the inerjecton OF amendments increasing the appro-
priaton to al 100000. On this roll cai was de-
msnded, bur Mr.. Hamlon's motion was lost, and Demo
cratic Assemblyman John Martin, who had taken the
leadership Of the minority the BILL sent the amend
ments to the desk
fight took place on their adoption. Mr.. Martin
led the speaking He Is loud but eloquent, and
his main argument that the people of New-York
City We're simply wildly crying for the million-dolar
appropriation General Hustled also wanted the larger
appropriation made He said It was not party ques-
ton.
Assemblyman Plat is opposed to any appropriation
He didn't see why the canals should got an appio-
prlation any more than that the Now-York Central
and Hudson River Railroad should get one
Mr.. AInsworth said that It was to the shame OF
the leader of the Republicans that he had stated that
the question not party one. Il am surprised
this floor should state on this floor that as loyal
Republican he can vote for this measure. The Re
publican majority here held by the people OF the
State responsible for the appropriations made ana LOT
tho taxes with which they are burdened'
Mr.. Hustled Interrupted him to ask why 1t should
be to his shame TO declare that the question was not
party one, and Mr.. Ainsworth answered: 1t Is to
tho shame of any who is here as leader OF his
party to declare that his party politics should not In
hurnce lin I that party
Is on trial hero and that many OF those who vote
for this bill Will live to regret it,
Asscmblyman Morgan thought that Mr.. Hustled was
entirely right, and In long speech supported him.
Following him Mr.. Saxton spoke in opposition to the
bill as 1t then stood.
Robert Ray Hamilton made an excellent argument
in opposition to the larger amount, in the course OF
which he said: The distinguished gentleman from
weschester Alr Hustled has led away on this mat
ter II tho gentleman Is always in favor Of improving
tho canals It IS about the only thing that he follows
consistently. He says that he followed Roscoe Con
ling This IS about the first time since nc IS desd'
that tho gentleman has followed his Lead
Mr.. Gallagher sent to the desk a letter written by
Mr. Conkliag favoriug canal improvements But the
dead statesman did not say In the letter thas nc
favored the million dollar bill -.
Messrs. Gallup. Mase McEvoy and Crosby also
spoke Mr.. Mase offered amendment which was
voted down, limiting the expenditures to $4,000 a
month Mr. Crosby said that the great amount OF So
ported to be held BY the people of NewYork Cty was
After Mr. McEvoy had spoken, Mr.. Gallagher called
the House Nine members we're found alb
sent; three were I'm the corridor smoking Mr. Gordon
Polo GroIuds and the others either III or at their
hotels. The call finally suspended after frtterng
away hall an hours valuable time The amen o
