Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-11-02

f,r a month there was NJ call or suspcll-
son of proceedings to await the attend
ancc of tho necessary forty-three mem
lcrs. There was noticeable among those
in their seats II gelt raj air of relief that
the long silver, struggle was approaci,
ing an end. Even the silver men looked
brighter and in Letter spirits than Tor
several weeks. Some doubts are On
pressed as to whether the final vote upon
the repeal bill will he reached so earl!
as The managers of the bill thought pos
siblc. The exact time at which 'hls
vote will be taker will depend not en-
tircly upon the length of the prepared
speeches, but partially upon the time
consumed in considering the amendments.
Investigation reveals the fact that more
of these will be offered than had been
at first supposed. and the result OF the
inquiries Indicate that there will he con-
siderable sperchmaking upon several OF
these. Probably most Of these speeches
will hc confined to five minutes in length,
hut even if the tivc-minutr rule is adopt
ed the Limit is liable, ut any time to be
greatly ovcrStepp"l as it is usual, under
such circumstances, that the much-vaunf-
ed courtesy of the senate grants an eN-
tension of time to those whC desire more.
The silver men count upon getting more
votes upon some of these amendments
than against the bill itself. but it does
rot seem prnhabl, that any of them will
carry. The consideration of the bill to
repeal the purchasing clause of the Shcr-
man act WAS taken up and Mr.. Stewart
