made that the bonds Of the United States are
rsvable In gold. "or its equivalent. and that any
other payment without the consent OF the cred

senator Murphy It was well known. had sup
rorted Bryan for President and had swallowed
the doctrines set forth in the Democratic plat
form Of 1896, but It was not suspected that he
would cast his vote openly in the Senate IN
favor of the reputation doctrines set forth IN
the Teller resolution. 1t had been supposed that
on the Of an important election IN New
York State when Mr. Murphy's own seat in the
Senate would be one of the prizes Of the contest
he would avoid committing himself beyond

make the silver l. sue once more prominent IN
New-York politics: that Mr.. Hill desired that
issue kept out Of sight while he was eecting
Democratic Legislature. and that he himself was
recently a candidate for Senator on non-com-
initial platform At any rate. he did not heed
