to print the message and take IL up to-
morrow was summaTily rejected and the Senate
voted at pass tho bill tho veto. The ex-
trsme silver men felt assured of their victory and
were in haste TO complete 1t.


OPINIONS ON THE MESSAGE

Of the bill, and the opinion expressed that side
generally that 1t will raise the President in the %.

gYyEcr THE BILI~


The spirit in which the Silver bill has been advo-
Gated and the unconcealed determination Of it's most
