average the markings of an entire grade

FREE SILVER.
Mr.. Bland Asserts that the House
Will ass u Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2.-rhe
for Friday evening next, has been
abandoned for the present at least.
SILVER DICK TALKS.
Mr.. Bland when told of the decision
to abandon the proposed caucus, said:
"IIarter was the chief promoter of this
caucus. He has ascertained to his
satisfaction that the democrats cannot
be bulldozed by the national bankers,
nor the money power of this country,
and that if the caucus were called he
would be in woeful minority.
"Instead of there being change
against the free coinage bill, the
changes are all the other way. The
party sees now, that if we do not pass
free silver bill, we will be stultifying
ourselves and our record i'm the last
congress; that we will be acting The
part of towards. The republican party
will charge that we are incompetent
to pass legislation that we were sent here
to pass; that they, the republicans,
had the courage to pass bill giving
free coinage to nearly all the Ameri-
can product. Republicans could step
in as the friends of silver, and defeat
democratic members in enough con-
gressional districts to give republicans
control of the house. The democratic
party in 1888 ignored the silver ques,
ton, in the interests of Cleveland, who
was known to be hostile to silver, and
whose administration had been against
it. The republican party in their plat
form at Chicago, denounced Cleve'
lands administration for its hostility
to silver. They courageously an,
nounced themselves as the friends O
silver, and beat Cleveland in his owl
state, so what the democrats got by
their cowardice in this question, was
the loss of the presidency, and the
loss of the house of representatives
If they again act the part of duplicity
and permit the republicans again tc
step in front of them, they will lost
not only the presidency, but beyonC
all question the house, which is a more
important body. "This house," sait
Mr.. Bland in conclusion, decisively
and earnestly, "will pass free coin
age bill, and the country can rest as
sured of that fact"
