lative day Of the silver debate opened with
crowded galleries ana full attendance OF
members of the house. Immediately after
reading the journal, the period of general
debate was extended three hours by the
announcement of Mr.. Bland that he would
ton until O'Clock, in order to give an
opportunity for greater debate.
Mr. Williams of Illinois, Democratic
member of the committee on coinage,
opened the debate on the bill. He warned
the Republicans that although the Demo-
Gratis may be divided somewhat upon tins
question they would be united in November
over the great issue of tariff reform and
success would crown their efforts II the
next campaign. Applause.
Mr. Cochran of New York spoke in OPP
position to the bill, but not at length.
Mr.. Cummings of New York also spoke
briefly, saying his constituents opposed the
pending bill, and he was not one who feels
at liberty to cross the desire of his 'constit-
ueuts.
MIR Dingley of Maine, spoke in opposi-
ton to the bill, saying its effect would be to
give silver minerowners of this nation $780,
100000 annually more than they are now re-
ceiving for their product.
Mr.. Bum of North Carolina was in favor
of the bill as being in response TO the de-
mands of the people.
Mr.. Loud of California, in opposing the
bill, remembered when, as a mechanic, he
had to-take his S100 per month in silverand
exchange it at q loss of Sc before paying his
butcher and baker,
MIR Barton, of Nevada, the leader of the
Republican free coinage men, made an able
and comprehensive speech in which he re-
viewed the fiscal policy of this country and
Europe on the silver question during the
past century, showing the bene-
fits derived from free coinage
and conf atted the argument against it.
Mr.. Hatch of Missouri made a strong
speech in favor of the bill, announcing that
he was in favor of making the bill matter of
party fealty. He told Mr.. Williams
of Massachusetts he did not know
the principles of Democracy, and when
Williams asked if he was reading him out
of the party, Hatch retorted that Williams
had said the time was coming when the
Democratic party would have to choose
between the Democrats of New York
and the Alliance of the South and he (Mr.
Hatch) was willing to make the choice
if neSseSS airy and would swap the bare
footed statesman from Kansas for
the q gentleman from Massachusetts
and If another swap was wanted, would
take in the erring young Democrat from
Georgia, (Watson) and throw over another
Massachusetts mugwump.
The debate continued at length. Messrs.
II. d. ldylDE VI OHlO, Ids TIC VI A1luuCSOId,

nois, spoke against the bill, while Messrs.
Sweet of Idaho and Patterson of Tennes-
see, supported it.

As Mr.. Butler sat down Mr.. Bland was
recognized by the speaker and demanded
the previous question on the pending bill.
Mr.. Burrows moved to lay the pending
bill on the table and demanded the yeas and
nays.
Then amid intense excitement the clerk
began to call the roll on Mr..
Burrows motion, which brought the
question to square vote. The
excitement became intense as the call
proceeded. At the conclusion of roll call
the excitement had risen to fever heat.
The reorganization being completed the
speaker rose from his chair to announce
the result, but before doing so directed the
clerk TO call his name. The clerk called;
CRISP OF GEORGIA,
and Crisp of Georgia, availing himself of
his right as a representative, cast his vote
in the negative, amid deafening applause of
the advocates of the bill.
The motion was lost by a tie vote. Yeas,
AS; nays, las
MIR. Cultivate of Ohio at once moved to

Mr.. Bland, arising to parliamentary in
quiry, asked if the effect of adjournment

would. The vote on adjournment was de-
clared lost. Yeas. 80 mays. 1913
