A MAJORITY OF 39. For The Coinage of all The Silver Baliiian nowin the Uaitei Stales Treasury. A decided gale for Free Coinage. Washington, Maroh I.—By a vote of 1 »8 te 129 or a majority es 39 the Bland silver seigniorage bill passed tbe house at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Thus the long fight in which the eastern dem' c -ats combined with the repute icans to defeat the mea sur) was dnded by a victory for the silver men in tho house. It was a close call, however, on reaching a vote this morning. To the very last moment the ess arts d moirats and republicans refused to vote and it was only by the aid of the speakers vote that a quorum was secured on the adop tion of the order from the commit tee on rules, This is about the fourth time i,hat the speaker has been called upon to vote to save silver, E*ch and every time he has voted in fa vor of the white metal. It was by his advice and due to the fact that he took the reins in his own hand to force the house to action that a vete was reached. EASTERNERS FOUGHT TO THS LAbT. with the exception of two hours debate the fight in the house was one continuation of roll calls. The eastern democrats and republicans offered all sorts of amendments calculated to prevent the passage of the bill, but each and every one of them was voted down and Mr. Bland's bill, as amended by him self was finally passed. It provide < for the coinage ofjthe seigniorage and for the coinage of the silver purchased under the Sherman taw. It further provides that the trea sury notes outstanding, issued for the purchase of this coin, shall be re deemed in silver and silver eertfieate:* Tho passage of this bill nr cans mueh for silver. The majority of 39 in its favor shows how the te .timent in the house has changed since the Sher waa law was repea’e 1. This fight over the house will now spend several weeks in passing ap propriation bills which are ou the calendar. Then tbe bill to repeal the !0 per cent tax on state banks will be eonsidered.

Is it because he started as a’poor boy and has gradually saved up k is money and kept it until he ha? a camfortable competency for hie w.fe a d i hil Jreu ! Or ought be to have spoilt it in aueingout injunc tions on Floyd county to put in draw bridges (and run the county to an extra expense of $8,500) or ought he to have built dummy lines out to East and West Rome and after the confiding people had invested their money iu houses, and lots, have sold out to disin terested parties who tore up the tracks and left the poor people to come intv town the best way they could? Or ought he te have invested his money in Futures for the Fu - tere. Then why i© not A.B Me A i ver a competent man to manage the city’s affairs? Surely nene can de ny that he has proved' hinMelf . to be a first class business man iu managing his own affairs. + + t Thea why ie not W. J.

Now Mr. Hustler, please ex cuse these very pertinent ques tions as I am very anxious to vote for ths best inter ets of Roms and if the Moors ticket is not a good out I wont vote for it.
