Mr. Tracey. of New-York. was allowed two
minutes in which to express his Sense OF grail
tude" to all parties and factions In the House
free-silver Democrats, repeal Democrats, Repub-
licans and Populists. He modestly referred to
his own labors in behalf of repeal and his
performance of the duties with which he had
been intrusted Mr.. Tracey's speech did not
appear to strike the House favoraby. and
when. as he took his seat. member uttered
the single word cuckoo" in fute-like tone
wave of merriment swept over the house anu
through the galleries. Mr.; Tracey ol ia h se
seem to appreciate this and still less did ne
appreciate the remarks of Mr. Allen, OF MIS-
sissppi, who after the last vote had been
taken, rose and in a mock serious manner
thanked the men who had stood by him in
this fight and had gone down with colors nviiis.
He remarked that he did this because thus lar
the thanks had all been bestowed on the other
side Mr.. Cleveland had thanked the mei,
who supported repeal. General Tracey hau
thanked them. and he understood that senator
sherman was going to thank them. He there
fore felt that II time that the brave men
who had opposed repeal were thanked.
Mr. Wilson closed the debate in a two-min-
utes speech. in which he said that ne reg ,,ad

honestly and sincerely differed in regard 10 the
pending legislation. Time alone could tell VINO
was right. If the legislation should result IN
n revival Of business and return OF prosper
ity It's advocates would he vindicated; II IL
should not so result they would stand before
the country as honest. but mistaken men,
before the vote was taken Mr.. Bryan. OF
Nebraska was permitted to make statement
which was in substance that the oppone hts OF
repeal had intended to filibuster to the end, and
compel the friends of the pending legislation
which the silver men regard as crime TO
furnish the quorum to pass it, but it was found
that the men who were willing TO fight to the
last gasp were too few in number to support a
demand for the yeas and nays and the OPP
pcncnts of repeal forced to an uncondi-
tior.al surrender. Inasmuch as everybody knew
all this before. there did not seem TO be any
pressing necessity for Mr. Bryan to repeat it.
