The meeting held hre r. esterd.ay was one of, the1 mlo4t, 41uiet lind orderly yet, held during this vamnpaign. The Iroad Saluda inarksL the divilding line of Ed.e field and Newberrv Counties and n(Itar a ferry over this noble stream the meet ing was held to-day in ltinelltrdt towi ship; one of the mirst fauous sub-divis ions of Edgeilt-ld County. Four Coun ties furnished the aLLendaiue, which wai3 between 1,300 anl 1.500. The major portion were fron RJ-!efield County, some coming thirty-live or torty miles to attend tie necting. A le w representatives of Abbeville County were present, and there were Also heavy contingents 1rom Newberry aid 1exinr ton Counties. The crowd prewent wils largely in tavor oh Timatni. The day sturted off with a heavy rain and it drizzltd conitinuously until about 11 o'clock, wiheil it helid up for awhile. Despite this 1rur I very side WIaLon1s, u 11g1es, mules and horsus kept oourt,ng in contiloub .rea is tl the mfeetin place. The "-r,lman on the Saluda was kept, busy froni early Worning bringing tlie Newberr3ans across the salrron tide. Nobody seemed to nind the rain, and the drizzle only seemed to their desire. The roads were in fearful conditin. It has been raining in this county for weeks and the net r-sult in mud and holes canl be imajined. The candidates went over in private convey Unce with the newspaper brigtade from Batesburg and Leesville. All along the road buggies and wagons and horse mitn met t,he party and strung out like a long caravant, over the heavy, sloppy roads. Governor 'Tillimun, Comptroller General Ellerbee and General Farley re-presented the lieiorn Democra,y and Colonel Siheppar d tihe Conservatives. Dr. Timinerman presided over the meet ing, which was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Boozer. Gen. Parley was introduced and made a good spe(ch. Among other things lie said tihe --,forin candidates start,ed to discuss issues, but the other side des cended into personalities. If a shcep gets to )utting around too much it is not iii itian or goat nature to stand it, without butting back. 11 the campalign is not conducted with d'e order it, is not our fait, for we want it, and our people want It. We have an overwiheliing majority. 'Tlhen let it go forth to-day the people () Sot01h Carolina will not stand disorderly conduct and persona allties in tihe meetmin-s. Sheppard has never looked on tae other se. lie 1uilght to be on our sid. for Governor Tfilvinan 1tied to Itit hin in olice and men of Edgeield are accustomed to staid t,gCLlt'r. At tihe coielusion of Farley's specch, which was not very lon g, Gov. Tillman was Introduced. As ie stepped to the froLt he w is received with loud cheer ing, lie said: This 3 t.he first time I have spoken in this corner of the County. I did 4 speak once at Ftlerid.e's, not tar Iron here, hut I do not know nine-tenths of you. I am glad 0 ieet you. The broad Saluda runs quiet becatise it is deep. This meetimg is so quiet that I a1m led to suspect that there is hl, little oppo sition to the FarierN' Movetieni im this sc01ti of tIe world 1.0 fret I on al make you noisy lhke the rocks ini thre r.ver. '-The swvallows mu11rmurr; t,be deeps are djumb.* Down in your hrearts you know I stand here as the representative and sp)okeimani to give voice to what you -wanrt and what you1 have lon~g ielt you wanted.

You all know. The State claims t,hic mnoir re that the Comner1 atives will canrry at, least 1,wenty Cotarties. lIn good, plainr Airlor Saxon, I tell y ou thait tihat is a lie.

The people are now awake; they no l)tnger slumber. You are reading and understand the principles of politic ; and goveriment. You never en oyed sell government before. You Ilave that luxury now and you intend to hold it forevern we, as long as the sun shines and water runs. They hope for a re action. They think it is a little sum nr shower, but It Is a regular United States rain. 1e LhCII took a hand pri. mary which revealed the fact that the Ilectin. Was largely itt fAvorof tile Gov I could sit and not say a word and let Sheppard talk, for I know that neither Ie 1or a t dozen Sheppards could lead Imly goats into his pasture. I am sick and disg,-usted with the personalities which have been introduced into this campaign. I wanted to discuss issues, but they seemed determined not to al loN Ie to do so. If they want to pitch rocks they can go ahead, but they will find that I can chunk both rock~s and brickbats. The papers ither forgot or neglected to publish tile fact that a meeting would be held at Edgefield. The impression was that the meeting had been called ofl, and the result was that only about 800 men were present. We put un one of our men and he had a quiet and peaceful hearing. They then put up their mnani, and up to this time they had retised to tell us who would be their firtst speaker. Why was not Oir put up after Gary to speak in reply to his competitor? No, they put up Youmans, a regular firebrand, simply because they wanted to be howled down. They had gone through seventeen Counties and they know they are beaten beyond hope. They Rtarted off the campaign of abuse. I will not read Orr'a words, but he said at Laurens that I was not worthy to vnlatch Judge Wallace's sioestriiuB. That's getting pretty close to an Edgelieid man. Do you blame me because when next we met I refused to accept, his hand, but drew up and said I could not shake the hand of any mall holding such an opinion of nie? IIe spoke about the Thirteen conven tion entrusting to a committee the selec tion of' candidates to run for their fac. tioin. Oil this committee were several llaskelhtes. This committee, he had it oil good authority, had gone to Shep. pard as the six hI man and offered him the first piace on the ticket. Sieppaed: That is not so. Tillmar.: You can't prove that it Is lot 0. By y -ur mau Williams' paper f know that they wanted Orr for tile lirst place, and that they telegraphed to the 6trectors of -ni factory to know if he woll be allowed to accept the nomina i011. "A't it a nice condition of affairs when a set of Iach men have to be tele. graphed to for permission for a man to run for Governoi? Johnny was put for ward as a sort of a cat's paw to pull tile clestnuiit out of tie fire, but lie is find Ing the chestnutS mighty feW an( me11 fire awful iot. Two men were travehug along a road 11nd a hog chased tien. One climbed a tree but the other was less nimble and coi.ld not do so. Me dod-ed the bog aroundi a tree and finally got near enough to catch its tail. They had a grand scuflle, and the man yelled to his friend to come down the tree. "What do you want?" was the reply. "I want you to help me let this hog go." The application of this joke was per fcctly plain. Governor Tillman said lie did iot, want the candidates of the oti.er sile to quit for they were like salt to meait. lie could make a speech at any tiiie bt lhe could make a much better speiechI with somlethling to hammer on. The flnest steel must, have a flint to dlraw I ire and Sheppard was his tiint. They wanted the campaign run in the grounid and stopped. They p)referred for a still hunt, to be made by the banks and corporations. They want to bull. dloze the people with thlreats of nO ia tions and 1no money, but roasting ears are p)lentiful and black-berries rIpe. WVell Y oumans, I wish lhe was hlere to. dyso you could listen to him and see how little he is. Vice~&: I wish lie wals here. II' have to falk straizhlt. Tillmani: Youmans made is speech with considerable interruption. Then whiein Melaurin w as about to be intro dluced(, Sheppard's bosom friend and lieuiteniant steps forward and saidl if Y oumn e was not aiven anlothIer chance to0 speak, ilo one t lse shouh11i be allowed to speaak. Our crowd was willing for Shlepparci and Orr to come torwardl and they would hlave been hleardl without in teritlu,on. Youimans had been put forward first to cause a row ando break upi the mlet,ig. At, the first Sheppard sa:d( it loo,kedl like a riot, and wanted to know if I would agree to adjourn the imeetinig anld so have no fight. I t.ho him11 that many men had ridlden thirt,y-fve or lorty miles to hear speak ing and were ent.ith-d to what t,hey had come her. After forty-five minutes we uave in andl agreed to an adjournment. I did -to, wanit a lih; I wanted it set tled ot.heriwise, fori I dletest howling down and1( butllb-zinlg. I believe tile more quiet tho re is, t,he more eflective my speechies are, for thieii the people have a chance to follow the argument. The whleI soml and suibsiance of the move mlent, is that It is a light against lien Tillmnii. Th'le irailroadls of tii State charge higher freight and1( paiseniger rat,es than railroads mn ot,ber States and I have al ways beeni ini fao of' a commision to have th.irouahu cont,rol over thlings. I wanitedl the power to elect these commis stoiiers co)nferred upon the people for the irgisl'ature is not, it to elect any fling. Tihereo the men bargain and tradeh, (ach looking ftter is own inter. est. Yru oughlt, to elect everything. All that iudk about, my wanting to be a dictator Ni mere rot. I will hlave to go out of cfiic in t,wo more years and why shoul I want, to uuild up ia power for some fuiure tyranlt to use? They kilktd the Asylum bill, that drifttwoodl Legislatuire, thlouIgh Dr. Bab cock saidl ii' he could exaiiine the pa t,ienlts 'efore admission lhe couldl prevent many paupers, whosho,uld be in County poor houses, being saddled on thle State. Sir. Fickein in committee made a p)lea that, 1(d thIngs be not diet,urbedi and tile bill was krill 3d. lie explained the $3 poll tax, and on the vote nearly everybody showed up in favor of the mcasure. Then Governor Tillman talked in favor of a constitu. tional convention to rid us of a consi itu tion framed by Radicals and forced down our throats by Yankee bayonets and give up a constitution framed by South Carolnias. This negro vote is a frozen serpent aud we ought to adopt some coinstitutioual provision to fvrever throttle it and preserve our chilldrvn and our children's children, forever from chance of black domination. What shall we do with this nigger vott? Voice: Bury the damn thing and let go. Tillman: They say I want to disfrau. chise the poor people, but that is olly for the poor people are my friends. They may give factory operatives Sheppard tickets but when they get to the polls they will slip them aside and vote for old Ben. lie spoke of the need for better county government and showed how his bill pi ovided for it. He ex plained the present statui of Clemson College and satisfied the crowd there with. When Governor Tillman finished a number of handsome bouquets were pre sented to him by Mrs. Caughman, Miss Derrick and other ladies. Tillman ux pressed his thanks wittily and eloquent ly. There was an hour's intermission for dinner. A barbecue was in full swim, and there were many private din ner parties. Alter dinner Ex-Governor Sheppard was introduced and .made a most excel lent speech. In opening he said: I have never wanted to be in better condition than to-day. I know that I am somewhat of a stranger to some of you. Unfortunately some one adjouin ed the meeting before my eating. I can't eat and then speak. I feel very much fatigued, not Wi'ag esten. I desire to assure you that I w ould not be here to day in the position that I am if there were one particle of truth for Governor Tillman's statement. If there were one drop of Republican blood in my heart, or a scintilla of Republican principles in my veins, I would not come before the people of Ed-_efield as a candidate for their suffrage. I was born a Democrat, I was raised a Democrat, and as long as my heart beats and my brain contin ues to know the difference between right and wrong I will die a Democrat. Governor Tillman has said a great mauy harsh things, he has said a great many un-ounded things, but he has never committtd a greater outrage than when he ta.ked of my being a Republi can in disguise. What right would a white man have to come before you if he were In the remotest degree a Re publican? It was unkind and it was un fair and unfounded, and I will never forget it as long as I live and my head is hot. Voice: How about Haskelism? Sheppard: I don't know, I voted for Tillman and tried to get Haskell not to run, and when he had ran tried to de feat him. There is no man who can at tack my Democracy. Voice: Haskellism nominated you. Sheppard: It did not and there were more avowed Repubbians in the CoL vention nominating Tillman than in tue one nominating me. Voice: They will run another ticket. Sheppard: I don't want office if I can't get, it by Democratic votes. I'll even stump the State for Tillman it he is nominated and it should be necessary. I tell you my Democracy is as strong as the Rock (f Gibraltar, and I feel much hurt. Mr. Cannon: You're a gentlemaan and a Democrat. Sheppard: Governor Tillman knows it as well as you do: It is a disgrace to make any such unfounded charges. Leaving this personal line he went on to say: You've seen Tdliman. Now have you seen the reform? I have not. Let them come to the record and i'll meet them face to face. They have done nothing whatsoever in th~e line of their promises. In Edgefleld in a hun dred years of our existence *67,000 was the most, ever paid into our county treasury. last year *84,000 was paid into our tr easury. How is that for re form? Voice: The taxes have never been paid before. Sheppard: You can take the flatter ing unction as suits your taste. Not a single office has been abaolished. No salaries have been reduced. Taxes are aot. t,he number of mills you pay oin a dollar. It, is the amount of money you pay iuto the public treasury. They tell you taxes have been reduced one-quar ter of a mill, but the assessment has been increased so that, the 4j you paid before is less than the 41 you paid last year. Last year your Dioperty was as sessed at *150,000,000 and thIs year it was *168,000,000. Tillman: It is just th a tax dodger they got. Sheppard: Mr. Ehlerbee said he has taxed the sore-backed mule and for two millions more than two yeaSL ago. Mr. Elierbee: I said one million dol lars. Voice: We want your bank stock re duced. Sheppard: You don't know what you are tal king about. They talk about my being a bank president. A farmer who borrows money said he wouldn't vote for me because if I would be elected I'd have to go to Columbia. I have been kind to our farmers and frequently saved therm from distress. I will confine myiself to ans wering Governor Tiliman. Hie speaks of the control of raihaoada. But for film there would have been abundant law for the control of railroads. He gives two piti fl reasons (or vetoing it. Talk about consistency, lie said in his Inaugural address that the manner of el.ecting was for the Legislature to decide, lie even advised the Legislature to elect commis sioners. TI'iman: I advised that the Legisla ture elect them that year and this year for the people to elect them. Sheppard: I thought I'd fhnd a place in his buckler. Had he let the law pass the control he desires he could have been se:eredl and afterwards a l ange r& commended. The second is a more flimsy and silly excuse, and( that is the right of the Circuit. Court. to renew the action of' the commissioners. Governor Tillman ought to close his mouth about the control of railroads. Governor Tillmian: If you are in fivor of controllingr railroads why haven't you got it in your platform? Sheppard: I don't propose to limit inysel to a platform in my relorms. Governor Sheppard then VaVe a short line of argument against Gs'overnor Till. man's three dollar poll tax idea. There are 200,000 poll tax payers in South Carolina and last year we only collect. td on 129,000 polNs. If vou increase don't you know you won't have as many poll taxes paid? You all have to pay the poll taxes of your negroes and it you do not L et it out of them you will lose it. They will be put in jail and you will have to pay their board. A more important thin- is LIhe Con stitutional Convention. There are a great manythings in the Const!tution that ought not to be there. The .hanges can be made without a Con vention. and that is the only safe way to do it. The work ofr a Convention be comes your law you are powerless. The property and educatioual cluse goes into the Convention; you can't help it. If they wish to quality the suffrage, let them introduce an amendment. Tillman: Do you deny that they can retura it to the people? Sheppard: It can be tone, but you have never said so. Tillman: You can elect the delegates and advise them as to what you waut. Sheppard: Let me tell you not to accept such a plan. A hard rain storm conic up at this time, and Governor Shepp ird wanted to stop talking, but everybody seemed to want him to talk, and with umbrellas up on all sides the tine argument con tinued. Governor Sheppard continuing said that what the peovle want. il more banks. The banks have. not been alle to supply the (1inand. In New Iamp. shire the banks pay $050,000 into the treasury for taxes. Voice: Who says sof Sheppard: I say so, and that is enough from you or anyone else who wants the truth. I started this campaign with the intention of conductig it on the highest plane, and when anyone says I am a Republican he hurts me. Voice: He meant your work was lead ing in that direction. Sheppart: That Is as bad. IftJ shall have the power to preve'it it no one will vote against him it he is nominated. Voice: We like you, but you have some dirty things following you. Sheppard: I have friends in Ed.efield whom no political act will shake. It I have friends here, I am too old and sen sible to get mad if anyone (oes iot vote for me. There is no one who (toes not know that I'd make more money at home than at Columbia. Governor Sheppard con,luded hit speech by saying that Tillman won't ctrry the counties lie claims. Ile i6 blowing. I tell you lie won't doti any. thing of the sort. You will wake up on the 31st of August and see a great stir prise if you believe I won't, be wlected. It is a great compliment to speak to you under such circumstances. Ile prom ised those who voted for him t,o conduct himself and his ollice to the entire sats faction of his fi iendis. Voices: We'll vote for you next tim e We'd like to have y-on for Liutena n Governor. Governor Sheppard was given a deal of applause at the conclusion of his speech. Comptroller Ellerbe did not speak. In response to calls Col. Jaspei Tail bert made a short speech, iIe said that as his comnpet,itors5 for Conigressional honors were ab)sent lie wvould not make a regular speech. TIhe mieeting adljournedl at 4.30) o'clock aind t,he pirocession of vehicles commeni ce-l its hiomewardi march through mud and slush. D)isaatrous Lanadsiide. PAltis, July 12.-A terrible accident has occurred at St. Gervais-Les-Bains, in Savoy, resulting ini the dleaith of at, least thirty persons. A heavy land slide occurred in the mountains that almost overbhang the village and with out a moment' s warning a number of houses were buried beneath immense masses of rock and earth. Alreadv thirty dead have been taken (out (f the ruins. A number of persons who had been badly injured were rescued, while some were taken out unhlurt,. It i.s thoughlt more bodies are unider the debri4. The baths of St. Gervais were in Iiv( seperate buildings, joined by a stone wall, erected ini a narrow gorge. TIhiey were situated about 2,0661 feet abJove the sea on the road from Geneva tc Chamonia. A glacier becanme detached from Mt. Blanc and feltl into the moan tamn torrent, carrying away the hamlet ot Blonnah and fillIng t,he torrent with Ice. The masses of Ice and the wreck. age of the village f ormedl a danm which effectually restraimd the water for some time. Finally the dhaml broke anti the waters burst like a cataract into the stream of lion Narit, which passes through St. Ger vais. Th'le inmates of the bathm houses were a wakened about 2:15 a. mi. by the sound of rushing waters and a crastin rg noise Before they were able to erscape)( three of the buIld ings wore entirely destroyed and another one partially, whIle the fIfth building sustained nio daumage, be. Ing situated on a higher elevationi t,han the others. The torrent contInued into the v'alley, destroying every thing ini Its course. I'he village of Lafayette, lying in the valley, was alinost, entirely demolishmed. The wreckage of the house was swept on for miles into the Arno. l)own the latter streaim corpses and wreckage have been seen floating alt lday long. The full mortality Is not yet known. It is belIeved thant seventy five pers5ons perlshed at the baths alone and at least fifty of the inhabitants of Lecfayette were drowned. 'The latest estiniate of the number drowne~d is 13).

'Thie Iepublicans had determined on their progranm and ex-Speaker Reed, as the representative of his party, was on his beet the instant the readig of the resolution had been concluded by the Clerk. Betore Catchings could say a word af ter the reading of the resolution, Reed interiected a motion to lay the resolu tion on the table, 1,ut the Speaker would not recognize the gentle..ii fron Maine, ruling that Catchings I d the floor and could not be taken from it. When the gentleman from Maine got the floor he could make his motion. Reed insisted on his right to nake a motion in advance of tine from Catch ings, who was in control of the resolu tion, and disclosed the purpose of his motion. It was to kill the resolution and with it the silver bill in the quick est time possible. The House, lteed said, should control its own affairs. There were two motions which could be made for the purpose of cutting offi debate. One was his motion to lay on the table, which had precedence and would cut off uebate and bring tile res olution to an immediate vote, and the other was a motion for the previous (luestion, under which an hour a debate is permissible. The House might not care to have debate and should be per mnitted to vote that way if it desired. Speaker Crisp ruled against Reed. lie did not combat ]teed's general proposi tions in his ruling, but based his de cision on the ground that ileed could not make any motion whenli he did not have the floor and lie could not obtain the floor when the gentleman from Mississippi had recognition. No oil thori(y by which the gentleman could be taken off tile floor could be produc ed. Catchings was accordiigly recogniz el and yielded tihe floor to Chairman BilauL of the Coinage Committee for fifteen minutes, but before Bland could speak iirrows of Michigan, taking prompt advantage of a slight parlia mentary itorinality on the part of Catchings, made the point that that, gentlemen had moved consideration of the iesolution. lIe insisted that all Catclings had done was to report the i resolution and that, therefore, the re port, like any other report, mist go over for the day. Burrows was techiii cally correct, but it was ruled that it was the understanding that the pur pose of the gentleman from Missis sippi was to nove the previous ques tion. Bland wis accordIngly Irecognize-d and in accordance with tIe piogramme of the silver imien lie offered an amiendl ment, to the resolution, having for its object opening time pathway for an amendment to the Stewart bill t.o mieet, alleged legal defects in it.and apply tihe cloture rule to rule the bill. lie paid his respects to those members who ho knew were going to o)po.o his pro gramime on time ground of antagonisiii on priciple to the clotture rule and de clared that cloture (in that forim of the previous luestion) was if ty years old. Th'lis r-emuark was receiv~ed wit.h up pilauise by thle Repubieanms. Ililnd in closiing said that he would vote against, the previous questionm, anid that what ever the gentleman miighmt say the vote on tIhe previous question wouldi aligmi siluarely the frienus amnd Ceinies of f ree coinage. Bartine of Nevaden, tihe leadinig free silver RLepubhcan, spoke ini the same strain as Bland. Clark of Alabama then spoke on the ot.her side, declaring he was still earnest,ly in favor of free coiinage, butt recognized tIhe inetxpiiMi eney of trying to pass tihe b)ill no0w which could not by any possibility be come law. lie was followed by Fore mani of Illinois who said that he shouil'j stand by time naional platform and vote against the resolution. l'atterson of Tiennesee was thme next Democrat who has heret,ofore beeni classed as a free coinage man butt who today camne out against, tIme St.ewarmt bill, andI it was evident that on oiie or an t,ber ground Blanid's previous support ers wero slipping away from him. l'.mt terson p)laced his (objection to time Stew - art bill and to the resolution on the groundmt that, the D)emnocratic part y was s(iuarely opposed to the lRepublican part.y on tIme tariff and the force nill and lie would cast no vote thmat, would bring forward anothmer issui". lIe would march under the banner that. "public oflice is piublic trust." Catchin gs of Milssissi1ppi was anxious that the Itepublican sid'e should take a hand In the debate instead of listening very willingly to his D)emocratic (opp1) mnents and hie now yielded fifIteen miin utes to Rteed, who was.reluctant, to ac cept tihe time and sarcastically saidl th at he should feel obliged if the gentleman from Mississippi would wait until somebody hiad spoken in favor of the .bill. iIe did not want to start wit.h the negative, lie was, however, coimpeled to do so, Catchings insisting that, thme lRepublicans should now be heardl from. hleedi,in Is usual e ffectively sarcastic style, sincerely congratulated the l)em ocratic party on its attitude of repent anice, a remark which launched hmim ini to debate with thme attention of the whole llouse. lla said that his mind was occuipied by a picture of the h)emno cratic party as a minority in the last Congress. lie rememberedl how fierce the-y were thenm for free coinage. l ie renmemnbered the announcement, b)y tIme distinguished genitlemian who had since become the presiding oflicer of the IIouse, Crisp, that the one thing which the D)emocratic party yearned for (anri ted put stronw accent on "yearned") was free silver, and that declaration was followed in the itecord by "ap plause on the Democratic side." llinghter ] Rteed was followed by Abner 'Taylor of Illinois, who spoke aigainst the simver bill1 as a ineasure providing for the debase-nent of the currency. ilerce of Tennessee then followed for the free coinage mien in a frank speech, which attracted losie attntion le! declared that the DMnnocratic party was a free silver party, and he agreed with the remark of the gentleman froin Maine that inl the I Ist 1lo'1se all excelpt, seventeen DeImnocrats had voted for free coinage. Then lie paid his respeits to the Democrats who are opposing the passage of tht free silver bill tinder ihe Cloture- rule becaulse it Cannot, now hw comne law by exclaiming "Why then, did you shoot tirough those pop-gini tariff bills ider suisperision of tie rules ?" Ile told his colleague, I 'at f or son, that he was elected on a I re c ,i,a age platform, and then when t ie snoke had cleared away in his dist rict 'a tor son would be "cast ofl baggage," a term Patttrson hl t used inl his spueeIch against, bringing silver forward as an 1s110 in) the Caiinaign. Culherson of 'fexas received the Ink divided attheition oi the Hlouse whie he arose for a twelve-minute specli. This is more tin' than tle Texas law yer, who is regarded as on! of tihti' list attirnieys in the I louse, usiuailly takes. Ile said, atnid loud applallse, that Ire dehate was attracting general att.wntion because it was the "watte of i lie co mt 111oll people against ,imoopoly." I Ie as- I serted that tiht Demoeratic party was not ink favor of detsing lie curreney, but was the defender of sinnil citirrenl cy. Culberson maintaiied ihat tie Demiocratic party by dee!arinli i its plat torin that, it, was in lav,r of hi met alism had favored ihe ire' coinag- of silver. 'l'he I D inocratic part.y, Ie s:jil, Stood for the iolnloy of the Constiltl tion. Blanwl clused the debate and tihen Catchings moved the prev ionus uiiestion on the resolution. )I uotioon o TIlry of New York the yeas and nays were ordered. The free coiiago inei all voted against the motion to orler Iihe previous iuestion as, if tie illotion r ried, they would be depriveil of the op portuifty to so amend ithe resolution as to permit amendments to the Stewart bill and also to add the clot iore rill to the resolution. Thi! anti-siIver men voted it favor of the motion ito orde-r the previous question. Tit alliirmat ive niajority is therefore to be regarded as equivalent to a defeat, of the silver ibill, though in order to get the subjewt olit of the way at least onre inure vote will be necess-iry. This votv will h- on ithe motion to table the resolutt in prov id Ing for consideration of the silver bill to-day and th next legislative day. The vote resulted in t ine,e det eat iI Ihe free coinage mni, the previous qut-s tion being orderel by a vote of i13 yvas against 129t nayi. Thie vote was not a strict ania absolute test, some silver men being against cloturv or aiuend. uent of the hill. It, was ex pelcil tilat the next vote would be taken i on a iwo. tion like tih' one origiailV nMadt by Reed to table the resol1ution reported by the Comniittee on Iuhtls niinakiig the silver bill a special order.
