DOWN IN DEFEAT BY A
VOTE OF 132 TO 182.
FIQHTWflS BRIEFBUT LIVELY.
By Previous Arrangement of Committee
On Rules the Debate On the Reso
lution Was Extremely Limited.
A Washington special says: 'The
of representative Monday bu
the Teller resolution declaring
the bonds of the United States pay
able in silver under an adverse ma
of fifty votes. The republicans
were solidly arrayed in opposition
with two exceptions—Mr. Linuey, of
North Carolina, who voted with the
democrats and populists, and Mr.
White, of North Carolina, the only
colored member of the house, who
answered “present” when his name
was called.
The desertions from the democratic
side were Messrs. MoAleer, of Penn
sylvania, and Mr. Elliott, of South
Carolina. Both voted with the repub
licans.
Speaker Reed, although it is not
customary for him to vote, had his
name called and amid the cheers of
his followers went on record in oppo
sition to the resolution. The vote
was reached after live hours of debate
under a special order adopted at the
opening of the session.
The limited time allowed for debate
and the pressure of members for an
opportunity to be heard was so great
that the leaders on both sides were
compelled to farm out the time by
minutes. This detracted much from
the continuity of the discussion, but
it also in a measure intensified the in
terest. The galleries were crowded
all day long and the comoatants on
the floor were cheered by their respect
ive sympathizers. Many of the sena
tors from the other end of the capitol
were present to listen to the argu
ments.
The majority, under the leadership
of Mr. Dingley, who made a carefully
prepared speech sounding the keynote
of the opposition, assumed the posi
tion that the last clause of the resolu
tion was in reality a disguised declar
ation for the free coinage of silver,
while the assaulting democrats, under
the direction of Mr. Bailey, maintain
ed that the defeat of the resolution
was another step in the direction of
establishment of the gold standard, to
which they alleged both the president
and Secretary Gagp had irrevocably
committed the republican party.
The debate was at times fast and
heated, but there were no sensational
incidents beyond the hissing of Mr.
Rhea, of Kentucky, when he said that
ns the author of the “crime of ’73 the
hottest place in hades would be re
served for the present secretary of
state.”
At 5 o’clock came the vote, which
was followed with great interest not
withstanding the defeat of the resolu
tion was a foregone conclusion, The
speaker announced that the vote
would be directly on the resolution,
not on the adverse report. It was
soon evident that party ranks were
being held intact. There were only
three breaks. Messrs. Elliott, demo
crat of South Carolina, and MoAleer,
democrat, of Pennsylvania, voted
against the resolution and Mr.Linney,
republican, of North Carolina, voted
for it.
Mr. White, republican, of North
Carolina, did not vote. After the roll
call was called the speaker asked that
his name be called and on the call he
responded with a vigorous “No.”
The speaker then announced the
result—yeas, 132; nays, 182.
The republicans cheered long and
loud over their victory and then, at
5:35 p. m., the house adjourned.

Opponents of Bimetallism and De

The third annual banquet of the
National Association of Manufacturers
of tho United States, which took place
Thursday night at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, in New York, was one of the
largest and most elaborate affairs of
the kind ever given in the city. One
thousand guests were seated at the
tables.
President McKinley was received at

clapping . of hands redoubled when

a toast was drunk to the president,
President McKinley spoke slowly
and F u iuly heard in every por
tionof the hall. He said m part:
} scarcely need remind you that
we do not meet as strangers. Neither
your business organizations nor your
social reunions are altogether unfa
miliar to me. I have been with you
before, not as a guest ns now, hut
rather in the capacity of host. Your
object now, as I gather it, is to go out
and possess what yon never had before.
You want to extend, not your notes,
but your business. I sympathized
with your purpose then; I am in full
accord with your intentions now.
“The government is restricted in its
power to promote industry. It can aid
commerce, lmt not create it. It. can
widen and deepen rivers, improve its
harbors and develop its great national
waterways, but the ships to sail and
the traffic to carry the people you must
supply. trade
“Much profitable is still unen
joyed by our people because of their
presenteinsufficiont facilities for reach
ing desirable markets. Much of it is
lost because of a lack of information
and ignorance of the conditions and
needs of other nations. We must
know just what other people want be
fore we can supply their wants.
“There is another duty resting upon
the national government: ‘To coin
money and regulate the value thereof.’
This duty requires that our government
shall regulate the value of its money
by the highest standards of commer
cial honesty and national honor. The
money of the United States is and
must forever be unquestioned and un
assailable. If doubts remain they
must be removed. If weak places are
discovered .they must he strength
ened.
“Under existing conditions our citi
zens cannot be excused if they do not
redouble their efforts to secure such
financial legislation as will place their
honorable intentions beyond dispute.
All those who represent, as you do, the
great conservative hut progressive
business interests of the country, owe
it not only to themselves, hut to in
sist upon tlie settlement of this great
question now, or else to face the
alternative that it must he again sub
mitted for arbitration at the polls.
This is our plain duty to more than
7,000,000 voters, who fifteen months
ago won a great political battle on the
issue, among others, that the United
States government would not permit a
doubt to exist anywhere concerning
the stability and integrity of its cur
rency of the inviolability of the Unit
ed States obligations of every kind.
That is my interpretation of that vic
tory.
“The financial plank of the St.
Louis platform is still as commanding
upon republicans and those who served
with them in the last campaign as on
the day it was adopted and promul
gated. Happily the tariff part of the
platform has already been engrafted
into public statute. But that other
plank not already builded into our
constitution is of binding force upon
all of us. What is it?
“The republican party is unreserv
edly for sound money. It caused the
enactment of the law providing for
the resumption of specie payments in
1879; since then every dollar has been
as good as gold.
“We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit of
our country. We are, therefore, op
posed to the free coinage of silver ex
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote, and until such agreement
can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved,”

specifications. The contract of A. J.

THE TELLER RESOLUTION GOES
THROUGH BY GOOD MAJORITY.
MANY AMENDMENTS ARE TABLED.
Tho Debate R'hm T.ively Tlirouffltout Final
Day The Vote us Recorded Wan 47
to 3£ In Favor of Resolution.
By a vote of 47 to 32 the senate, at
7 o’clock Friday evening, passed the
Teller concurrent resolution, which
declares that the bonds of the United
States are payable, principal and in
terest, at the option of the govern
ment of the United States, in silver
dollars of the coinage of the United
States containing 412} grains each of
standard silver.
The text of tho resolution is:
‘That all tlie bonds of the United States
issued, or authorized to lie issued, under the
said acts of congress hereinbefore recited,
are payable, principal and interest, at the
option of the United Stutes in silver dollars
or the coin of the United States containing
412,Uj grains each of standard silver, and
that to restore to its coinage such silver
coins us a legal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and Interest, is not in vio
latlon of the public faith nor in derogation
of the rights of tlie public creditor.”
The final action on the resolution
was, of course, as expected, as the de
bate had disclosed the position of most
of the members of the senate, lint
the interest in the question involved
was sufficient to crowd the galleries,
to fill the floor with those entitled to
its privileges and to hold the large
crowd until the final vote was taken nt
7 o’clock.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, in support
ing the resolution, maintained that
money, whether it lie silver or gold or
paper, was a creature of law, the crea
tion of money being inherent in all
independent . . . . nations. He said -1 that, ,, ,

amendments by Quay providing that

in use in the world, by Hoar and For

titute for the language of the reso
lution in the St. Louis platform, and
by Caffery declaring that should the
market value of silver he less than
that of gold payment shall he in gold
at the option of the creditor, were
tabled in order.
Twenty-four votes were cast in favor
of a straight-out gold declaration and
all of these but Caffery were republi
cans.
This vote commits the party through
its leaders as declaring that the bond
holder must he paid gold if he asks
it, and puts them on record as favor
ing the transfer of the option now ex
isting in the government, to the
creditor.
Those who voted for this amend
ment were:
Aldrich, Raker, Caffery, Cullom,
Davis, Fovaker, Gallinger, Gear, Hale,
Hanna, Hawley, Hoar, Lodge, Mc
Bride, McMillan, Mason, Morrill,

All the other members of

or, what is the same thing, were pair

On the filial vote an analysis of the
roll showed that all the men elected

the populists voted in favor of the
resolution, xvliile the silver republi

TAYLOR GAINS ONE VOTE.
Democratic Caucus Mill BalJotiuff In
Nashville.
The Tennessee democratic senato
rial caucus met again Thursday night
and failed to make a nomination for
United States senator. Twelve ballots
were taken, the last aud 114th stand
ing:
McMillin, 35; Taylor, 29; Turley, 26.
The only change during the evening
was one vote from Turley to Taylor.
The indications for breaking the
deadlock aud making u nomination
are less favorable than at any time
since the ballot began and there are no
signs of a break sufficient to nominate
any one of the candidates.
