report on the naval appropriation bill,
and insisted on its consideration, not
withstanding the objection of Bland
that he was thereby consuming the
short time remaining for debate on tn e
silver bill.
Boutelle made short explanation of
the details of the agreement reached in
conference, and called for the previous
question, which was ordered-yeas, 139 !;
nays, 1O9-and the conference report
was adopted.
On motion of Conger the debate on
the silver bill was extended till 3
o'clock, when the vote was to be taken.
Morse, of Massachusetts, took the
floor in support of the house bill and in
opposition to the senate bill.
The debate was continued by Taylor,
of Illinois, Peters, of Kansas, Cutcheon,
of Michigan, Dunnell, of Minnesota,
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, Williams, of
Illinois, and others.
Mckinley, in closing the debate, said
he wanted the use of both metals to con-
tinue, and opposed the senate amend
ments. He wanted the metals to stand
side by side, equal in purchasing power
and legal tender quality. The gentlemen
who favored the senate amendments
wanted silver to do all of the work.
Whatever we had for money in this
country must be equal in purchasing
power and legal tender quality-whether
gold, paper or silver dOllars-each re-
deemable in the other, and each ex-
changeable for the other, and each of
equal value.
The hour of having arrived, Conger
moved that voting begin.
Bland moved that the senate concur
in the senate amendments.
Springer moved that separate votes be
had on each section.
The first vote taken was on the prop
osition to concur in the first section of
the senate bill, providing for the free
coinage of silver, the coins to be full

month.

with the request that it appoint con-

ceed to consider the election bill until

shouted: "This is bill to revolution
ize the government"
Finally it was agreed to allow forty
minutes debate on the resolution, witt
the understanding that the previous
question should be considered ordered
and Springer withdrew his motion tt

McMillin and Blount vigorously at
tackled the bill, and from this time OF
there was great confusion on the floor.
Cannon and O'Neall, of Indiana, en-
gagged in a colloquy somewh hat personal
and this added so much to the already
existing disorder, that the sergeant-a
arms came forward with his mace o
office, and restored order.

ton. On yeas and nays vote this wa
lost-yeas, 116; nays, 1873, Coleman, o
