Mr.. Bryan made the speech Of the day, and
although he occupied more than two hours
In its delivery, he commanded the earnest
attention Of his colleagues throughout. He
was one OF the apostles of bimetallism and
his sympathizers regarded his arguments as
unanswsrable, but the same thing was said
Of the speech Of Mr. Henderson by the oppo-
the days debate might be put down in th
category Of drawn battle.

Mr. Daniels Of New York was the first

would vote for the Wilson bill and against
each and every one of the propositions pre-.
sented by the silver men, Mr.. Cooper is
new member, and the attitude taken by him
was somewhat Of a surprise to his friends.
He is a young man with strong voice,

repartee ana pleasant manner. He bids
fair to join the ranks Of the rising young
members Of the House. Mr.. Goldzier

in favor of the bimetallist stan lard He

bership is made In some of the more import
ant committees The report was adopted
and the silver debate resumed. Mr.. Hainee
tDem.) Of New York taking the floor He
was amazed at the attacks made on Wall
street. They were pure demagogism and
attacks on the financial system of the coun-
try. Wall street 10 the savings bank Of the
nation. Mr.. English (Dem.) Of New Jersey
took the same ground. The advocates of the
Sherman law had been defeated in the object
which they expected to attain, and the law
ment. But while he would vote for a repeal
OF the purchasing clause, he did not hold
that the repeal would be panacea for our
evils; that it would restore the confidence
that the people lacked. He thought that the
presidents sagacity was sufficient to know
that the mere repeal Of this measure would
not relieve the people; he had confidence in
the presidents honor, and at the proper time
he would redeem every promise Of the
Chicago platform. Mr.. Everett (Dem.) Of
Massachusetts,, in old-fashioned and courte-
GUS manner, raised his voice in favor of the
repeal Of tho Sherman law Mr.. Simpson
(Pop.) OF Kansas spake in favor Of free coin
age. He severely criticised the Democratic
party for Its absolute uselessness, Before
Mr.. Simpson had concluded his remarks the
House took q recess at 8 o'clock until $50
There were about twenty fve members pres
ent when the house met at 3 o'clock tonight
after the recess. Mr.. Simpson, resuminp his
remarks, denounced the gold standard and
predicted that such standard would pro-
duce revolution that would shake the p0V
eminent to its very foundation. He wa,
opposed to compromise on any ratio.
Compromises were dang rous. The mon OF
the South and West would not stoop down
to any aristocracy, and especially they would
not stoop down to a monsyed aristocracy.
After some discussion by Messrs Morgan and
Talbert, the House, at 1890, adjourned.
