ing whether II was not TO be used to bar

He differed, he said. from the leader.
BRYAN, whose cause he had followed. He
was not willing TO subscribe TO the ioea
that free silver was the single end TO DO
fought for There was necessity. he said,
for n return TO the true Democracy which
had for its end the freedom OF the indi-
viiuaI as an individual.
Lewis quoted s. telegram which he seid
Senator Hanna had received from Frank
fort Germany, signed by A. Sengman. as
follows:
II congratulate You on your election. 1t
is most satisfactory TO me-.
That message he said, came from the
man who helped to place mortgage on
this government of s2oo,ooo00o. Its inso-

patriotic American citizen" Applause on
the Democratic side.t
Grosvenor recalled the fact that Selig-
man. with the credit of his house. rendered
invaluable aid to the Union cause during

To this Lewis replied with the statement
that Seiigman had removed his residence
from this country at time when he fear

pay his share to support the government.
He is the last man." said he, whom /

Hull of Georgia, chairman of the COM

currence In the views of Mcclellan to the
extent that he believed that the army
should be reorganized. as the present or
ganiZation was obsolete.
The discussion Of the needs OF the army
was continued by Wheeler of Alabama,
Clark of Missouri. Cox OF Tennessee, and
others.
Without completing the bill, the COM

Manila on the first day of May last, are
added the tidings Of the no less glorious
achievements of the naval and military
arms of our beloved country at Santiago

ana, staying the feeling OF eXultation that
too naturally attends great deeds wrought
by our countrymen in our countrys cause,
should roverently bow before the throne
of Divine Grace and give devout praise to
God, who holdeth the nations in the hol-
low of His hands and worketh upon them
the marVcls Of His high will, and who has
tHus far vouchsafed to us the light of II lis
face and led our brave soldiers and sea-
men to victory.
! therefore ask the people of the United
States upon next assembling for divine
worship in their respective places of meet
ing, to offer Thanksgiving to Almighty
God, who, in His inscrutab,e ways, now
leading our hosts upon the waters to un-
scathed triumph, now rlidng them IN a
strange land through the dread shadow
or death to success, even though at a
fearful cost; now bearing them without
accident or loss to far distant climes ha 5
watched over our cause and brought
nearer to success the right and the
attainment of just and honorable peace.
With the nations thanks let there be
mingled the nations prayers that our gal
liant sons may be shielded from harm
alike on the battlefield and In the clash
of fleets and be spared the scourge of suf-
fcrng and disease while they are strv-
fng to uphold their country's honor, and
withal let the nations heart he stlled
with holy awe at the thought of the noble
men who have perished as heroes die and
be filled with compassionate sympathy for
all those who suffer bereavement or en-
dure sickness. wounds and bonds by rea-
son of the awful struggle. And above all.
let us pray with earnest fervor that He,
the dispenser of all good, may speedily
remove from us the untold Affections of
war and bring to our dear land the bless
lngs of restored peace and to all the do
