bed by Bryan that he refused to remain
with the.party under any circumstances,
altough in leaving it, he sacrificed q
remuneratiye contract to swap almigh-
ty bad English accounts of the tour
for numerous one-hundred. cent dol
lars from the strong box of newspaper
publisher. The exact cause of the
snubbing is not given, but the founda-
tion appears to have been BryaD's be-
lief that "Silver Dickn didn't know
enough to make real-platforn speeches.
I will not vouch for the snubbing part,
but it is certain that "Silyer Dick"
left the Byran party ten days or more
ago and that he has since then been
staying with a friend in the suburbs of
Washington. This, coupled with the
rough shod manner in which Bryan
has walked over every Democrat who
has opposed his slightest whim since
the Chicago convention, gives the
snubbipg story an air of probability.

The condolences with which the pro-
minent silver Democrats started in to
rash Bryan into the WhitsHouse has all
disappeared, and they are now so timid
that they are allowing themselves to
be bossed by the radical populists of
the Tom Watson stripe, and they are
running hither and thither, seeking
some evidence that Bryan has even
fighting chance to win. Chairman
Faulkner, of the Congressional COM
mittee, went to Chicago last week to
see whether Chairman Jones, of the
National Committee, was able to cheer
him up, and since his return he ha
found it harder than ever to keep up
bold front.

Nobody in Washington took pitch
fork Tillman's absurd challenge of ex-
President Harrison for a joint debate
seriously, any more than Mr. Harrison
did. 1t was merely and effort of Till

When joint debates occur, they are
usually between men of the same
standing. Nothing but amusement
was caused by Tillman's mistaking the
curiosity which brought out big crowds
to hear him speak in the mining section
of Pennsylvania, for enthusiasm for free
silver. Pennsylvania Republicans are

Continued.
KoME, March l5.-The entry of tho
new ministers into the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon was greeted
with loud applause by their sup

The premier, Marquis Di Rudini,
said that after the defeat at Adowa,
the cabinet had adopted resolutions
leaving General Baldissera free to
take proper measures to meet the sit
uation, including abandoning. AdigraS
and Kassala il such measures should
be deemed cxpedient. March 8 the

The premier waited, smiling until

would be far preferable to first estab-

The announcement that the African
campaign would be pushed, was greet

from the s~o-called military party and
with cries of dissent from the neace

But the dignity and honor OF the
country must be upheld. He then
asked the chamber for q credit of lao
million lire for the expenses of the
army in Africa and to send additional
troops there should such a step be me-
cessary.
The reception of the premier's state
ment was, on the whole, favorable.
Even the strongest advocates of a pol

when the premier paid a glowing trib-

Italian army, the deputies rising and
cheering wildly for Italy, the Italian
army and the premier.
Later the 40 million lire asked for
by the marquis, was voted unani-

prolonged scene of enthusiasm.
When the public outside of the

be made until President Cleveland has
formally stated his purpose not to per-
nit his name to be used in the conven-
ton in connection with a third term.
1t is learned on excellent authority
that the President has fully decided
upon this course, and it is expected
that he will make known his deter
mination within a short time.
Although Secretary Olney's name
has been considered with favor among
the Democratic leaders. it is known
that he does not desire the nomina-
ton. 1t is undou btedly true that Mr..
Carllsle's candidacy will have the sup
port of Mr.. Cleveland and the mem
bers Of the cabinet. He will go before
the convention as the representative

LID 1dlcuUS, III
ing the canvass for Mr.. Carlisle's nom
nation, will urge that it be laid upon
a sound money platform, and, if he be
successful at Chicago, will! then make
this issue prominent in the campaign
leading up to the November election.
Representative Patterson of Tennes-
see has received from Secretary Car
Isle the following letter in
to ex-Speaker Crisp's declaration that
silver had received unfriendly treat
ment at the secretary's hands:
In answer to your question IONA
only say that in all the operations sS13@
the treasury department. during MI
administration of its affairs the legal
tender gold and silver coins of the
United States have been treated pre-
clsely alike, except that greater eff
forts have been made to keep silver
coin in circulation than have been
made to keep gold coin in circulation.
The amount paid out by the depart
ment in silver coins and silver certif-
Gates, greatly exceeds the amount paid
out in gold coins and gold certificates,
q IN no instance has the least dis
examination been made against silver
or it's paper representative.
1T has always been the policy Of
the Treasury department t encourage
the use of silver to the largest posi-
bic extent. and in order to accomplish
this, standard silver ~dollars will be-
sent by express at the cost of the gov
eminent to anyone who will deposit
an equal amount in silver certificates
or IN treasury notes of 1890 with the
United States treasurer or any assist.

sent to anybody free of charge.

July 4, 1892. That is the only political
platform in the United States that has
ever laid down such a doctrine as that
embodied in this senate resolution"
Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina, asked
him if he did not vote for free silver
when he was first elected to congress?
Mr.. Hall replied:
The gentleman from South Carolina
asks if | did not vote for the free silver
coinage bill in the extra session in
1888. I answer, yes. But I will tell
the gentleman that I have progressed
since that time"
Now progressed" is a very good
wtrd. Some one has called it ''suc-
cumbed," but in our opinion "pro-
crossed" is much more respectable. Be-
sides, there is no suggestion about it
Of any undue influence being used to
accomplish the desired result. Just

Carlisle has progressed"
Hoke Smith has progressed"
J. Sterling Morton has progressed"
We know of COOLIES" of postmasters,
too, who have progressed"
Benedict Arnold progressed"
Judas progressed"
The people have progressed" too,
but it is backwards, and towards great
er restitution and poverty.
What Mr.. Halls constituents ought
to do with him is to progress to the
ballot box and elect him to stay at
home.
Mr.. Halls sensation was that he had
heard that eight senator's had voted
for the free coinage amendment who
said they believed that the free COIN
age of silver would ruin the country.
OF course nobody believed any such
thing, and if they did it ought not to
startle the country, because the people
know that there are several times eight
senators that could be relied upon to do
almost anything In the play Of politics.
Mr.. Hall tried to justify his change
Of attitude and in so doing showed how
near he was getting over towards the
republican camp. He said:
But let us take legislative proceed
ingg; take matters of parliamentary
law. My friend from Georgia has had
occasion on this floor to cite a case
where our present speaker varied from
the position which he now occupies up
on the question of counting a quorum.
Certainly Mr.. Reed, of Maine, held at
the time the view attributed to him;
but further investigation showed him
that he was wrong; and when he found
he vas wrong, what did he do? Once
when the question arose in this house
as to the right of the speaker to count a
quorum, Mr.. Reed, then a member,
thought that such power did not exist.
But investigation OF the matter subse-
quently opened his ayes upon that
question. What is the result? He
changed his position upon that great
l rule Of parliamentary law, and wrote
