Washington, d. C., Feb. 1,-(Spe-
cial. i'm the silver debate to-day
Butler made a very freak of himself
Teller and the other silver men, in
Guiding Cannon, and the new Utah
Senators, importuned him in vain to
his inopportune amendment,
which would only complicate the real
issue, they said, But he was up some
half dozen times until he was finally
mashed under by some sixty votes, the
silver men joining the gold bugs
against him. Now that the matter is
disposed of some remedy will be found
to seek shelter from his leaden, drizzly
precipitations which are getting to be
as melancholy as the long season in
May.
From the manner in which Moody
of the Mountains, and Boyd the Buoy
ant lay claim to the office, one would
think that North Carolina was to have
two Governors next time. The ques-
ton arises, would both of them to-
gether make one good Governor?
Senator Moody was chasing around
the lobby of he Metropolitan last night
and / took him out of the cold to keep
his boom from going out. The most
interesting thing he said, however, was
not about himself. This interesting
thing was about Lord Pearson. /
asked him what were Pearson's chan
ces next time. Splendid" he said.
Pearson has not only an additional ma
ioriy of 500 from Mitchell county, but
will gain another 500" which, / sug-
gested, added to his last majority of
200 would return the red lattice
statesman with majority of 1900.
yes, he'll get $500 majority" added
the big Haywood man; "the people are
pleased with his course here"
''What course?'' / queried. What has
he done?" We'll, replied the Senator,
''he made little fve-minute speech
against the bond bill, which pleased
our folks nightly" / ventured to
suggest that Mr.. Pearson had made no
speech against the bond bill, at which
Mr. Moody seemed surprised. But the
remarks had been inserted in the rec
ords. us that all?'' | asked again.
''Well, they are pleased at his Republi
canism; they think he has gotten well
in line again" According to this in
creased vote of 900 for a five minute
speech not spoken, the eloquent silence
of Lord Pearson is TO be rewarded at
the rate of over 300 votes a minute,
which comes high if the people will
have him. But it is, after all, a sort of
relief" to have the speech cut short.
But it is too bad that this speech was
not printed or available to the members
until long after the vote on the bond
bill had been taken.
During the stay here yesterday of
President Joseph G. Brown, of Raleigh,
he called on Treasurer Morgan and
Comptroller Eckels. Mr.. Brown was
surprised to see only dried up little
man and one so young in the person
as the brilliant young financier. Mr..
Eckels spoke with much pleasure Of
his last outing in North Carolina, and
said he was getting ready to go down
again for a duck hunt. Marshal Car
roll accompanied Mr.. Brown to see
both the Treasurer and the Comptrol-
Ter. While in Mr.Morgan office ii devel
