WASHINGTON, June 6.-(Senate)- -
Mr.. Vest offered a resolution pro-
viding that the committee on finance
be discharged from the consideration
of the free wool bill, and that it be re-
ported back to the Senate for consid- |
Grafton. 1t was not his purpose, he
said, speaking on the resolution, to
forestall the action of the Chicago con-
vention y nominating u candidate for
the Presidency, but, if member of
the Chicago convention he would vote
for that man who would succeed as the
candidate on the platform of tariff
reform. He believed that silver was
not the main issue. Mr.. Vest said
that at the risk Of being misinterpreted
he would say that tariff taxation was
the most important before the country.
The democrats won on it in 1890 and
would win on it in 1892. Mr.. Hun
ton, the new Senator from Virginia,
was assigned to fill vacancies on com
mitteeS on the district of Columbia,
education and labor, Potomac river
front, naval university and postoflices
and postroads.
