Iii" Conference OhtnIitteeS Trying to
 Reach an Agreement
 WASHINGTON, July 3.-The conferees of the Senate and House upon the Sill yer bill met again to-day. Since the refusal of the House to accept the free cninage provision added to the bill by of quiet canvassing, and the leaders of the extreme silver element have decided upon terms which they offer to the other faction as an ultimatum.
 They demand, first, that the bill shall be amended so as to.provide for the pur- chase of 4,500,00 ounces of siive monthly, instead of $4, 500,000 worth. Second, that the certificates issued upon the standard dollars coined shall be legal tender, and be redeemable in coin at the option of the holder and and third, that the bullion redemption feature shall be stricken out of the bill.
 These three propositions they will insist upon, and consider them as liberal concessions.
 The silver men say that they have been striving to accomplish only this much, and will be satisfied with it, but they will not be satisfied with anything less. They will insist that each kind of money issued by the United States that all the tinRn cial obligations of the Government shall be interchangeable at the option of the holder.
 This principle must be established or they will again amend the bill. It is not exactly certain that the conference committee will agree to these proposi. tions. but it is very probable.

 WASHINGTON, July 3.--An unusual crowd witnessed the closing scenes in the House over the Federal Election bill. During the intense excitement toward the end, the galleries frequently joined in the applause that greeted telling points made by those on the floor.
 The first real struggle started on MT. Hemphills amendment striking out that section O. the bill authorizing the use of United States troops to enforce the election laws. It was re- jected-yeas. 145; nays, 156.
 NIT. Springer changed his vote from aye to nay in order to move a reconsid- eration, and Mir. Rowell moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. The motion was carried. Ayes, l53; nays, 14S
 Several other amendments were of- fered and, after debate, were defeated. A vote on the bill was ordered, MT. Springer made c motion to lay the bill on the table, and by 8 yea and | nay vote the motion was defeated-yeas l 149, nays 155.
 Mir. Springer demanded the reading of the engrossed bi'l. But the Speaker was prepared for tLis demand, the bill having been engrossed in advance, and burst of applause came from the Republican side when the clerk began | the reading.
 Two hours were consumed in the reading of the bill
 The question then recurred on the passage of the bill. As the call was in progress the greatest interest was manifested on both sides of the House. As MT. Coleman, of Louisiana, cast his vote with the Democrats, he was greeted with applause from that3 side of the House, and the applause was reinforced with cheers when MT. Lehlbach, of New Jersey, also cast his vote against the measure. The Republicans retaliated in kind, and as the Southern Republi- cans-Messrs. Houk and Taylor, of Ten nessee; Waddill and Mudd, of Maryland, and Wilson, of Kentucky recorded their votes in the affirmative, cheer after cheer was given.
 The bill was passed-yeas, 155: nay g. 149.

ruENArIoN,s DISGRACE.

The most infamous measure ever en- dorsed by partisan majority-the Reed Davenport telection.bill-pa passed the house of representatives yesterday. Its provis- ions are so revolutionary and so mon- strous that no candid republican justifies them except upon the plea of party necessity"
 As finally touched up by the master hand of John I. Davenport this bill ob- literates effectually all state control over elections of representatives. Federal officials, appointed to secure partisan results, are to supervise the elections, count the votes, and certify the results, the partisan clerk of the house of repre- sentatives is to constitute that body from the names so certified.
 But that is mot all. Some of the par tisan officials are to be sent from house to house days before each election for the purpose-not expressed ill the bill of electioneering for their party candi- dates.
 The number of partisan officials and election workers to be thus ap- pointed will reach nearly 100000, at an average salary of $s per day, and at a cost for each election of over S10,00O,- 900.
 The kind of men to be appointed to steal the house which they can no longer carry is we'll konwn. The records show that, in the past, republican marshals and supervisors have appointed con victed th0ives, murderers, repeaters ballot-box suffers and criminals oi every class as their tools to do this work in the great cities of the north, and the same, only to a greater degree, will bt the case under the new measure.
 Should these desperate characters fai of their purpose, the remedy is at hanC in the shape of returning boards for eacl congressional district.
 With $10,0O0,OOO of government money in the hands of marshals anC supervisors, reinforced by corrupt re turning boards and directed by men O bankrupt characters like Quay and Dud ley, the result is regarded as beyond doubt.
 Will the senate ratify this programme That is the question of the hour.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-It is proposed now to call up the River and Harbor Appropriation bill on Monday next instead of the Tariff bill as was in tended, and there will be a struggle for consideration between the two meas ures. As nearly every Senator is more interested in getting an appropriation of money for the rivers and harbors in his district than in the consideration of the tariff, it Is probable that tho former bill will be given the right of way and the Tariff bill postponed until the middle of next week.

Living Up to Side whiskers

It is fact that side-whiskered men are seldom seen in young and busy communities. There is a good reason for it. Side whiskers are expensive They make a man look dignified, and lead him to cultivate slow ways and 9 careful style of costume. In order to keep up 6rst-claSs side whiskers man must have leisure and money. If he gets up early and rushes around town in a bob-tailed coat he will look out of place, and people will stare at him with pained curiosity. Atlanta as yet has very few side-whiskered men. They will come in time. When we have more wealth and leisure there will be a lot of solid old fellows here summing their mutton chops on the promenade. But we must wait awhile.-Atlanta Consti. tuition.

Convention or Primary?

Carroll County Democrat.l
An important question soon to be
decided by the Democracy of this
Congressional District is, shall we
haveaconvention orprimary? The
Democrat believes that it voices the
wish of the Democracy of Carroll
County i'll demanding a primary
election. A convention isall right
andproperwhen thediffereht coun-
ties are sufficiently united on some
one particular candidate to make
his calling sure; the nomination
can then be made with less compG-
cation Of the party machinery and
more satisfaction to the people than
otherwise. But when the strength
Of the candidates seeking the nomi-
nation is nearly equal, the conven-
tion too often becomes the cause
of disorganization and disaster in
the ranks.
With the vote of counties cast as
instructed, a nomination is fre-
quently impossible. Some county
must break instructions. When
this is done, the delegates suffer
the displeasure of those who sent
them, the friends Of the defeated
candidate make it the pretext to
charge fraud and trickey-. and an
excuse for the lack of that harm
ony and party unity so essential tc
success.
Again, the convention always of,
fers a fine track for a "dark horse.
1t is often the case that opposing
factions, spending wearyho
and days in futile attempt to nom
mate their favorite candidates, com
promise by picking up an outsidt
man, who, if fplaced before the part.
on his merits in a friendly contes
with the other aspirants, could no
muster a corporal's following. If,
dark horse" is not selected, tn,
nomination is given to the weakes
