GROSVENER GOUGED.
The Ohio Republican Leader Held Up to
RidicuIe nv a WASHINGTON Populfst

The Ohio Republican Leader Held Up to
kidicule by "A Washington Popuiist.
Washington, d. c., January 20.-The
proceedings in the House were elivened
to-day by a wordy duel between Mr..
G~rcsvenor, of Ohio, and Mr.. Lewis, the
picturesque member from Washington.
During the debate on a private bill to
refer to the court of claims the claim
Of Cramp & Sons, the Philadelphia
shipbuilders. for damages from the
government for delays incident to the
building OF the warships New York,
Massachusetts, Indiana and Columbia,
due to the failure of the government
to deliver armor plate and other mater
ials for these ships on time, Mr.. Lewis
got the floor.
Mr.. Lewis made the bill the text for
a general attack on army and navy
contractors, whom he charged with
being traitors for taking advantage of
the necessities of the government in
time of stress.
Mr.. Simpson, the Kansas Populist,
followed along the same lines, and Mr..
Grosvenor undertook to rebuke them
both. Mr.. Lewis in his reply made one
Of the wittiest speeches, ridiculing the
Ohioan for his alleged %pretensions,
that has been heard in the House for
months. Mr.. Grosvenor did not deign
to make an extensive rejoinder, though
he displayed a lot of documents and in
timated that he had plenty of reserve
ammunition in store for Mr.. Lewis.
The Cramp bill was edged out of the
way after the flow of oratory ceased.
Earlier in the day the p~ostofice ap-
preparation bill was finally passed.
An arrangement was made for the
consideration of the army r%eorganiza-
ton bill beginning mex Tuesday.
The Senate was in session for five
hours and a half to-day, but the ses-
sion was practically barren of re-
suits.

their well doing and advancement in

The Tammany Leader, Declares
Against Silver as the Issue in 1900.

New York, January 20.-Richard
Croker, in an interview tonight, said:
THE 16 to 1 question is a dead is
sue. This a proven conclusively by
the expression of the will of the peo-
pie in 1896, when they elected Mr.. Nc
hlnley President of the United States.
Now the Democrats of the West
and other sections of the country are
trying to foist this dead issue upon
the Democratic party, and make the
Old dead cry of '16 to L the Democratic
slogan in 1900.
why should we carry a dead weight
in that campaign? The times of four
years ago are past. To-day the times
are different and the issues are not
the same.
Speaking of this section of the
country, | say that if the 16 to | ques-
ton is again brought before the peo-
pie there will be felt again throughout
the nation the same distrust that pre-
vailed in 1896. During the fall of that
year, while the campaign was in pro-
gress. every man with a dollar of sur
plus, whether he was a millionaire or
Workingman, boarded his savings; in
fact, locked them up SO securely that
there was actually no money in circu-
latiOn. AS a matter of consequence the
times then became we'll nigh desper-
ate. Look back to the winter of 1896
and see what the mere rumor of silver
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l did to
this country. You could not get mon
ely in the banks. You could not raise
money on any kind of security, and
the result vas the very hardest of
hard times.
From the South and West there al
ways comes the hue and cry against
New York, because it is the none
centre of the United States. But
whenever there is to be any great pub
lie Improvement made in any section
of this country, the first look for help
is towards abused New York. They
rush to our great city to raise the
money. They come here for the means
to build their railroads, to construct
their water works, to erect the plants
for gas service, and here oner the
bonds Of their cities for any kind of
improvement. Then, no matter how
much benefit is derived from this sec
ton of the country, there is always
The same howl against the great city
because it is the money centre-that
very centre without which public i'm
provement would be an impossibility.
II this silver question comes again
before the people and is made a factor
in the national platform. the moneyed
men of the east will look for invest
ment outside of this country and the
banks in other States in the union will
be unable to borrow money in the East.
The result will be that the poor will
be the greatest sufferers.
The present winter of 1889 has
been free from the scenes of starvation
and suffering that were so painfully
characteristic of the time when The I'm
ancial strength of the country was
threatened. Everybody seems to be
making a living and to be contented.
The reason for this is easily found.
The men with money have loosened
their purse strings and money is being
plentltully spent for public improve
ments. Labor is not due and money is
IN certain because there is a feeling of
