upon Mr.. Bankhead moved that debate be
limited to two hours. The republicans i'm
mediately began to filibuster against this

By consent an arrangement was reached
that the opponents of the bill should have
two hours and half of debate. The con-
sideration Of the bill was resumed
Mr. Livingstone of Georgia advocated
using q portion OF the mall for site. He
objected to the committees site because it
would be necessary, he said, to grade II

could be secured. He said there was a
large tract of land owned by the govern
ment which is available for a public build
iEg. He would advocate taking the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks out of the mall II

Mr.. McLaurin, of South Carolina,
is all wrong when he talks about a
new party for the south and west.
Those sections hold to the faith OF
the fathers, and the last national
platform suits them exactly in all
respects except its ambiguity in the
money plank. Let the south and
west hold aloft the old banner of
Democracy, select southern or
western man to carry it, and if new
parties are needed, let the gold bugs
of the east, under Mr. Cleveland
and Carlisle, fling it's new bunting
to the breeze.
