q. the house carried Mr. Blands mo-
ton of going into committee OF the whoie
for consideration of his bill. The East
ern Democrats and the great mass OF inc
Republicans made a determined OPPOSE
ton, but MI. Bland was at last NC
torious. On the final vote, 16 p
cans and all the Populists voted WIN
him, while % Democrats who were pres
ent Joined with the remainder OF Tue
Republicans in refusing to vote. II was
thoroughly understood that quite a num-

Grafton. 1t is also well known that Sec
rotary Carlisle and the administrator
generally is opposed to the bill in its
presentform. After the consideration OF
the bill began, MIR. Carlisle arrived at the
capitol and had a conference with sew
eral of tho leading Democrats OF the

that it will pass. This opinion is general
ly shared by the leaders on both sides

notifications of the bill that will make
it more acceptable to the Democrats wh<
are now opposing it. Mr.. Harter ere
ated some amusement by his reference t.
the mann er in which the Democratic
rsrty was delineated in the comic papers
as a jackass. He thought it was per
fectly fair, perhaps, for Republican pa
pers to portray the Democracy as a jack
ass, but he did not see why q proposition
