Washington. Dec. 1.-THE feature
OF the opening day of the debate on

quence for which the IOwan is noted

Yer declared that the last doubt in the
Republican party as To the wisdom Of
enacTinG the gold standard into law
had been resolved by the experience of
the business world during the past
three years. He criticised Bryan and
generally ridiculed the alleged false
prophecies of the Democrats i'll 1886
DeArmoud was the heavy gun on the
democratic side. He warned the Re
publicans from the west that they could
not deceive their constituents in the
coming congressional elections 10y
claiming that they had yielded TO the
wisdom of their colleagues i'll caucus.

bate i'll support of the bill.
