An Instructive Analysis.

The philadelphia Times has an inter
asting analysis OF the silver vote. 1t |
says:
'.Of the 14S votes cast for the defeat of |
the silver bill in the House on Thursday |
last, 80 were cast by Democrats and Sc /
Wv r, publicans. OF those voting in
favor of the measure, 129 are Democrats, !
II Republicans and 8 Farmers Alliance
men. A number OF members was paired
on the question, but Is were absent
without pairs or failed to vote; they
were Messrs. Campbell, Wadsworth
and Stahinecker, OF New York; For>
man, Wike and Springer, OF illinois
Cooper, of Indiana; Glover, of Kansas
Cheatham, of North Carolina Dono
van, OF Ohio; Shell. of South Corolina;
Herbert, of Alabama Lester, of Vir-
ginia: Boatner, of Louisiana, and Ems
loe of Tennessee.
But two Democratic votes were cast
in favor of the silver craze east OF the
Ohio; they were Mr. Reilly, of Schuyl
KILL Penn, and Mr. Rockwell of Sena
tor Hills district, New York. With
these exceptions the solid Democratic
vote of New York, Pennsylvania, Massa-
chuse it's, New Jersey, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware
was cast against the silver craze, and it
Democratic opposition vote there are z
from Wisconsin. 5 from Iowa, from
Ohio, from Illinois, 3 from Michigan,
from Minnesota. . from Louisiana and
/ each from south Carolina, West Vir
ginia. Missouri and California. The IL
Republicans who voted for the silver
bill are scattered over the far West, and
only one of them. Taylor, of Ohio, re-
presented a constituency east of the
Mississippi river"
The Times wisely argues from these
figures that the great business States OF
the Union, not only along the coast of
our commerce., but throughout the
great Middle States from the Atlantic
TO tie Mississippi, are practically united,
regaldless OF party, against this insane
aud suicidal effort to overthrow sonud
financial policy, snd plunge us into the
vortex CT imitation and disionor.-StGte
