silver repeal senators are wayering and
talking bluntly in favor of the Faulkner

that debate terminate in fifteen days, to
which Senator Wolcott objected.

The house committee has decided to
set aside two weeks, beginning next Tues

eral elections law. The Republicans
strongly objected to the beginning so
soon as in so short a time nothing can be
