The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-08-14

| others knew now lney WdAteu 10 Nolt, put
were apparently afraid TO vote at all until
| forced to.
Hero,is what occurred. When the house
met Mr.. Outhwat, of Ohio, by unanimous
consent, called up the senate bill appropriat-
| ing $4,000 for a government exhibit at the
| Columbus, Ohio, exposition.
| MIR. Wise, of Virginia, after consultation
! with Major Barnes, introduced an amendment
to divide any surplus OF appropriations maze
| for the Ohio Valley centennial between NE
Augusta and Richmond expositions. Both Mr.
Wise aud Major Barnes spoke in favor OF this.
As soon as they concluded, however, Mr.. Hen
derson, of Iowa, offered an amendment appro-
priating S250000 to aid the Atlanta COlorcd
exposition to be held in 1889 and 1880. lie
argued that il congress gave ala to help her
expositons it should certainly be afforded to
struggling race which wished to show its ad-
vancement after generations OF slavery.
Mr.. Warner then arose and said he did not
think Kansas City should be left out, and Of
fered an amendment appropriating $4,000 for
that exposition.
GEoRGIANs IN A QUANDARY.
Then the vote was taken upon the various
amendments and here is where the Georgia
delegation was placed in quandary When the
vote was taken upon the Augusta and Rich
mond amendment, Major Barnes was the only
Georgian who voted at all. He, of course, voted
aye. The balance Of the delegation would not
vote, although many were in their seats. Then
the next vote was on the Atlanta amendment.
Judge Crisp voted against it, but the Others OF
the delegation retained their seats in silence.
When the Kansas city one came up Judge
Crisp again voted no, and so did Mr.. Carlton,
but the others still remained mute. All the
amendments, however, passed, and then vote
was taken on the third reading of the
bill. The yeas and nays were demanded, and
although the amendments passed, the third n8
reading was defeated by vote of 6S to 80,
and the bill went over indefinitely.
Messrs. Blount Stewart, Crimes Clement
and Norwood were absent while this was going
on in the house, and when Mr.. henderson
was endeavoIing to get 100000 for the At
anita exposition Senator Palmer was trying tos
get 800 COO for ii in the senate. lie called up
the bill, but Senator Beck objected and it
again went over. 1t is understood that Sena-
tors Beck and George will oppose the bill
when it does come up.
AS TO ILLINOIS.
A few days ago there appeared in these dis
patches an interview with Representative F.
Lawler, OF Illinois, In which he expressed the
opinion that the democrats would carry lii
nois next fall Representative Townsend, OF
that state, today said in reply TO a question:
"The reports from Illinois are OF character
to make us very hopeful Of carrying the state
for Cleveland this fall Our candidate Tor
governor is very popular. and we are
gaining recruits ON the tariff issue. A large
number Of prominent republicans have come
out for Cleveland and tariff reforms True,
there have been some changes the other way,
but they are insignificant compared with the
gains we have made. With the same effort
and the same organization, l think we can
carry Illinois as easily as We can Indiana. All
the political happenings are encouraging to
our chances
"How about the congressional representa-
ton ." was asked.
81 think we may gain two or three districts"
Mr.. Townsend replied.
Republican Senator's and Blaine.

that Senators Allison, Sherman, Hiscock and
others, with Representatives Mckinley, Bur
rows and Kelley, were going to New York to-
night with copy OF the senate tariff bill TO
meet Mr.. Blaine and confer with him as to the
advisability of passing tariff bill and to get
his views on the proper bill to pass if he
thought it advisable to pass one.
The senator's, however, positively denied
this story today and said they had never
thought Of such thing. The members OF the
sub-fnance committee say they feel amply able
TO handle the tariff question without the
advice Of Mr.. Blaine. However, the
members Of that comMittee seem yet TO
doubt tho adyisability Of passing
bill, and II appears that the republicans OF
the senate cannot agree
For this reason, although the Posts story is
denied, it Is generally believed around the cap
itol that Mr.. Blaine and other republican lead
ers out of congress viii be consulted before any
definite steps are taken.
DeUatOfS ALLISON ana Aiuficn spoke very
positively today in favor of passing a bill,
which naturally gave rise to much discussion
over ad joumment. Should they succeed in
holding the party to their views, it is the al
most unanimous opinion that congress cannot
adjourn until after the first of October. How
ever, there are few members who believe an
adjournment will be had by the 10th OF Sep
tember.
GENERAL BoyNTox WILL COME, TOO.
General Boynton, an old union soldier, now
the Washington correspondent OF the Cincin-
natl Commerciai-Gazettee, Will 30 down to
the Cha0tauqua with Mr.. Mckinley, for the
purpose Of writing his paper a full account of
the trip and Of Mr.. Mcl&inlcy's reception by
the people OF Georgia. II is also said here that
many other leading northern papers will send
special correspondents to Atlanta on the oc-
casion OF Mr.. McKnley's visit.

seems that the republicans are laboring under
the delusion that by little work and the lib

1T PLEASES THE DEMOCRATS.
The nomination of Representative Hovey by
the republicans rs their candidate for governor
of Indiana pleased tho democratic members
from that state very much. Representative
Holman said today that while Hovey was as
strong rs his party, he did not think the re-
puhhcnns had any chance of carrying the state
lie felt perfectly confident OF democratic sue
cess, and was confirmed in thissby tho action OF
the workingmen of the state, who are going
against the republican ticket Mr.. Byuun
thinks the refusal OF Porter TO run weakens
the ticket.
Mr.. Ilovcy has made no reputation whatever
in congress. He will make the race entirely
upon his war record, which is said to he good
However, the democrats now seem more con
fldent than ever OF carrying the state.
Quiet Day.
