end in view Democrats who favor
the Bennett law are being looked
up and booked; quite number
will be utilized as speakers in the
campaign.
Speaker Reed and the republ1-
cans of the House met with
a temporary defeat at the
hands of the democrats on
the amended silver bill providing
for the free coinage which has been
adopted by the Senate, owing to
the absence of a number of repub-
lican members of the House at an
inopportune time The Speaker,
as is customary, referred the bill
to the proper committee when it
reached him from the Senate, and
the fact was SO recorded in the
journal of the House. The next
day the democrats observing the
absence of the republicans made
fight on the approval Of the
journal and succeeded in defeating
the republicans. Mr.. Mckinley
voted with the democrats, in order
to move a reconsideration; but
the democrats again won. Satur-
day Representative Beldon, the
new chairman of the republican
Congressional committee, by able
management had succeeded in get
ting the absentees here and the
democrats were beaten at every
point and the bill ordered, by a
vote of the House, to be referred
to the same committee, which, ty
the way, had the bill all the while.
When the BILLS reported back to
the House the free coinage amend
ment is certain to have been struck
out, and that will bring on another
contest which will determine
whether a majority of the House
favors free coinage.
A very sensational story has been
published in Washington alleging
to give the details of certain re-
marks derogatory to the Mckinley
tariff bill made by Secretary Blaine
before a subcommittee of the
Senate. Fortunately your cores
pondent is able to present a state
ment of what really occurred in
that committee room. Mr.. Blaine
was before the committee for the
purpose Of making an argument
on some matters pertaining to the
State department, and while there
he and Senator Allison began to
good naturedly chaff each other
about the tariffbill. Senator Black
burn, who is the democratic mem
Der of the subcommittee, told Mr..
Blaine that he regretted that he
was not a Senator SO that he might
make a speech on the floor of the
Senate attacking the bill and Mr.
Blaine with q wink replied
$50 do l." The joke was fully
understood by all present; but
that did not prevent its being made
use of by the democratic press as
serious matter labeled "Blain'
savage attack on the Mckinley
bill" Mr.. Blaine is not opposed
to the Mckinley bill though he
thinks there are several important
ways in which it might be amend
