Morse Rep.) of Massachusetts made
Drle1 speech IN opposition to the bill, and
then Bland, the leader of the silver Dem
| ocrats OF the House, took stand against
it. He spoke with great feeling. This
| Dill, he declared. was an attempt to tenn
| porIZe with great issue. He called at
tentlon to the Democratic platform of
| lS92 the pledge to settle the financial
question on the lines of bimetallism. He
! traced the course of those who, he alleged,
| were carrying out conspiracy; first the
repeal OF the silver purchase law, and
| now the consummation of their plans.
Bland predicted that if this bill became
| law greenbacks would disappear, and
to secure the gold standard would be en-
| tlrely eliminated.
In conclusion, Bland protested against
the Dill IN the name of outraged Democ-
racy. Neither this House nor this Ad-
minlstratlon is the Democratic party"
sad he, "and L appeal to the masses of
| Democracy to reOrganiZe on the lines OF
principles Of Jefferson and Jackson"
! Applause.
Coheen (Dem.) of Wyoming concluded
the debate for the day in opposition to the
Dill, and at O'Clock the House took re-
cess until o'clock.

Mr.. Palmer referred to the species of
AngIophobia which permeated the dis

Whlcn we are constantly menaced by the

read that portion of the Presidents state

the visit OF the Hawaiian royalist COM

in my plans"
