Washington, Dec. 16-A very inter-
esting and important discussion upon
Mr.. Aliens resolution to take up the
Dingley bill for consideration in the
senate was started today bv Mr.. Vest.
of Missouri, and was participated in by
Senators, Allen, Chandley and Calling
er. of New Hampshire; Frye and Hale.
Maine; Aldrich, Rhole Island: Sher-
man, of Ohio; Teller. Colorado, and
German, Maryland. In the course of
the debate more than one allusiOn was
made to frauds and corruption at the
late presidential election, and Mr.. Tel
ler remarked pointedly that he was
not certain that ms candidate-Mr.
Bryan--had been defeated. Mr.. Allen
questioned whether any difference
could be pointed out between the po-
litical principles of the Republican
party and Mr.. Cleveland,and said jocu-
larly, that the president and the Re-
publicans would have to be tagged in
order to enable person to distinguish
one from the other The upshot of the
debate was q complete acQuiesence on
both sides of the chamber In the fact
that the Dingley bill could not possibly
be passed at the present session and
that the enactment Of new tariff bill
would have to go over to new ses-
sion of congress to be convened as
early as possible.
Prior to the tariff discussion the pen
and passed.
The bill carries with 1t. exclusive OF
other expenses, an appropriation for
pensions of $14O,0OO,O00.
HOUSE SESSIONS.
The house today devoted nearly all
of "a four h.-'"s' session to the army
appropriation III. in committee of the
whole A great portion of the time was
spent in discussing a ruling of the
chairman of the committee (Mr. Hop
kinS. of lllinois). that an amendment
to cut of the Hot Springs hospital as
recommended by the surgeon general
and secretary of war, was out of order,
being change of existing law. The
discussion was quite interesting,
Messrs. Dingley. Maine, Bailey. Texas;
Little. Arkansas; Grow, Pennsylvania;
Null. Iowa: Lacey, Iowa. Cannon. Illi-
nois. and others participating.
The question was important as af-
fecting the power of the house, under
the rules. to limit. restrict or define the
expenditure of money carried by an ap-
preparation bill. On one point the COM
mittee 60 to 53-sustained the chair
man, but later refused to sustain him
ST to SA--and the amendment cutting
out the hospital was agreed to. In the
house Mr.. Little made the point Of no
quorum on the vote adopting the
amendment. and none appearing on the
count by the speaker, the house at
40 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.
In the morning hour Mr.. Bailey, Of
Texas, asked unanimous consent for
consideration of a resolution directing
III" committee on naval affairs to in
vestisate the construction of the bat
tleship Texas, but II was referred to
the committee without action.

unfit to serve the people in any ca.
pacity. He was free silver man,
but he believed that silver would OF
bring all the relief needed; he said
that by it the national debt would
decrease one. half, the State debt one
half, the county debt one half, and
so on; they were not going to get
what they expected and he would
tell them so. At the conclusion of
his speech he distributed a lot of
printed circulars.
General w. H. Ellerbe, also can
dida,e for Governor, was next intro
duced. The most of his time was
consumed in answering questions
He said he remembered we'll his last
visit to Lexington. He said that the
report had gone abroad that this
was poor State; that there was
high rate of taxation and low rate
OF property valuation; that the taxes
had decreased from five and a half
mills to four and a half mills; that
be, as Comptroller General had in
creased the taxable property $780,.
OOO,0C0; be found that the railroads,
banks and other corporations had
returned their property at about one
third its valuation was his reason for
doing this. Mr.. W. B. Seay wanted
to know why the taxes were going to
be more this fall. General Ellerbe
replied that the State levy was one
mill less, but the county levies might
be more. He would not promise
them to reduce taxes; he would prom
ise to do all he could for them; to do
his part honestly with the aid of a
Legislature in sympathy with him.
He defined his position in regard to
the higher institutions of learning,
and closed amid cheers.
Railroad Commissioner Wilborn,
j. VIM. Thumond and j. A. Muller,
candidates for Solicitor, and perhaps
others made short addresses. SOllci-
tor Nelson was not present.
All the newspaper reports say the
Lexington meeting was the best held

Governor Evans: "All right, I'll

Governor Evans then went on to say
that after the principles for which
the Alliance had fought had been
