The principle feature OF todays pro-
&C 'dings was the passage through the
house OF a memorial to Congress reCit-
ing the present depression and hard
times and praying the enactment OF
free coinage of silver. No debate fol-
lowed the report Of the committee on
this matter but as soon as the vote
was taken and before it was counted
a dozen members rose and explained
their votes. Messrs. Glass, Henry.
Miltmore, Russell, Donohue, Cindel
and Truman, all republicans, spoke
strongly against the measure and de-
Clared that they could not vote for
it. They said that the Yankton plat
form called for f~ree-coinage OF silver
OF the American product only and
that anything further was unre-
publican, and Messrs. Dowdell and
C%rothers, populists, spoke as strongly
m favor OF the memorial. Mr.. Glass
declared that it was founded squarely
open the party platform adopted at
4ankton and that anyone who voted
against 1t was voting against princi-
pies enunciated by the republicans Of
South Dakota. The vote resulted 43
to 32 in favor. Leaving ont the pop
u~lists, who all voted aye, there were
80 republicans opposed to the bill and
20 in favor.

OF expenditures and receipts and Mr..
McCaughey's bill providing that all
books, statements and blanks used
by county and state officers shall be
passed upon by the secretary OF state,
auditor and public examiner passed.
A considerable fight was made p o
this latter bill but its evident justice
and the strong presentation OF the
case made by Mr.. McCsughey carried
it through.
In the senate Mr.. Rice's bill provid.
ing that the state treasurer shall de-
post funds in his own name ost Il
urer and not as an individual, and
that both treasurer and his deposit
cries shall report to the governor
monthly, passed. This is a bill sug.
gested by Governor Sheldon to cor
rect the looseness which has hereto
fore prevailed. 1t is seen to be espec-
tally important from the fact that
