THEY BURIED IT.
Te1lers Resolution is Throttled in
the House.
BY a Vote of 1872 to 1872 the Lower Branch
of Congress Refuses to Sanction the
Idea that United States Bonds
May be Paid In silver.

Washington, Feb.o1.-The house yes
terday buried the Teller resolution de-
clarihg the bonds of the United States
payable in silver, under an adverse ma
jority of so votes. The republicans
were solidly arrayed in opposition,
with two exceptions, Linney IN. c.,
who voted with the democrats and
populists, and White IN. C.), the only
colored member of the house, who an
swered present" when his name was
called. The desertions from the dem
ocrat side were McAleer Pa.) and Ell
lott Is. c. Both voted with the re-
publicans against the proposition.
Speaker Reed, although it is not Gus
tomary for him to vote, had his name
called and went on record in opposi-
tion to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five hours
of debate, under a special order adopt
ed at the opening of the session. The
limited time allowed for debate and
the pressure of members for an oppor-
tunity to be heard was so great that
the leaders on both sides were COM
PEELED to farm out the time by min
utes. This detracted much from the
continuity of the discussion, but it also
intensified the interest. The galleries
were crowded all day long and the
combatants on the floor were cheered
by their respective sympathizers.
The majority, under the leadership
of Mr.. Dingley, who made carefully
prepared speech, sounding the keynote
of the opposition, assumed the position
that the last clause of the resolution
was in reality disguised declaration
for the free coinage of silver. The
democrats, under the direction of Mr.
Bailey, maintained that the defeat OF
the resolution was another step in the
direction of the establishment of the
gold standard, to which they alleged
both the president and Secretary Gage
had irrevocably committed the repub
lican party. There were no sensational
incidents beyond the kissing of Mr.
Rhea Ky.) when he said that as the
author of the ''crime of '73, the hottest
place in hades would be reserved fol
the present secretary of state. The
vote on the resolution was: Ayes 1872
