HOAR AND HIS BILL.
Senator HOar is still determined 10 make
another effort in behalf0t the Force bill. ii,
said to-day that he could not tell whether
he could get a majority vote 20 take up the
bill o. not, but that he would give the Re
publicans of the Senate another opportunity
to redeem their pledges TO the country.
The outlook. however, for Senator Hoal
and his bill is even more discouraglng than
when that measure was laid aside. Senator
IIOar himself does not believe it can pass
lie is more than provoked at Senator quay
for having introduced his Force bill. Hoal
says that Quay's bill was designed to render
the movement in favor Of " fair elections

would not pass bill 10 authorize suspen
sion of the habeas corpus. Thus are tb'
Republicans divided while the Democrats
are solid and unanimous.

Mr.. Ingalls said there wc.e two porten-

depression in the country u the dtmOneti'
zation act Of l-73. His only explanation
Of IT'S passage was that both houses Of Con
gress and the President had been hypnotised
by the money power. lie would say l.
hose who are aTraying themselves against
the deliberately expressed judgment OF tue
American people; be would say 10 the SEN
ate, to the House. and 10 the tx
ecutiye, that there would come q
time when the people would moi
be trihed with on this subject. Some
time the people would elect a House OF Rep
resentatiyes, a Senate, and President who
would carry out party pledges, and would
execute the popular viii. The political
power of the nation had been transferred
from the circumference 10 the centre, and
the people Of that centre were unanimously
demanding free coinage OF silver. IL was
for that a.On that he would cordially sup
port the amendment Of the senator from
Nevada. In doing so he would not only
follow the dictatiOn Of his own Judgment
but would carry out the wishes Of the grea
majority Of his constituents irrespective d
party OF OF political affiliations.
