Tae silver bill is gone gosling. There
was 40 meeting OF the House committee Oh
rules to-day, aud consequently no gag ,u!e
was reported, and, what's more. Mr.. Speak
or Crisp Gays none will be, until he shall re-
ceive petition for 1t eigned by mi ,rlty
OF the democratic members OF the house.
The eilyerites have started such petition,
but as the first thirty-6vs members they
asked to sign it-ail silver men-poeitlvely

ection. One OF the absentees. Mr.. Wise,
who Was seen afterwards, said be would re-
lnse to ti2n any auch petition and refuse to
vote for any such ra!e II 1t should be intro.

divide the democratic party, is practically
dead and buried.

though the ucnsyed men taere, as most
every where else, ara for C:evelsJd, the

Gays the snti-Hill expressions from the West
