Synopsis of the Proceedings IN Upper and

The closing day of the general de
bate on the financial bill proved to be
one of exceptional interest in the house.
At the outset sharp personal cOllOquy
occurred between Representatives
Wheeler and Berry. of Kentucky, over
the recent Kentucky election and the
charges growing out of it. Consider
able feeling was shown. The list of
speakers was long, including Bailey of
Texas. The five-minute debate will
occupy all of today and the vote be

try.

ond in Importance to the president. In
recent administrations however, vice
presidents have been but little more
than tigureheads so far as their real
influence on the policy of the admins
tration has gone.
In former days the vice presidency
was considered a stepping stone to the
presidency. Latterly it has been little
more than a top shelf where the pOliti-
cal ambitions Of many good men have
been laid away.
The present salary of the vice presi-
dent is $4,000. He has no official resi-
dence. but may live where he chooses
in Washington. He does have room
of his own opening off the senate
chamber. To the room and the addi-
tional $4,000 salary Senator Frye sue
ceeds He will also have the privilege
of presiding over the senate and Of
voting when that august body reaches
a tie vote.
Under the constitution as originally
framed the presidential candidate re-
