Wasiünt.totc, Hure! 24. The last legir.la'Jve day of the silver debate opened with frowded galleries and a full attendance f members of the house. The KrcaU st ililirence had been exerted by the lewlcis of both si lee for tho pat three dnye to secure the presence of ciery member not absent from the city when tha hour of fitnl rota should nr. rive, aud no all hod they su- ceeded in tlioir Horts that only tha gentlemen who had teen granted leave hy the liouss were absent when the carat fell today, and these wi ro so qually divided upon the question thnt neither aide derived any advantage from their uoa attendance.

Ttia "lebnta Ktenal. Immediately after the reading of the journal the period of general debate was extended three bo'irs by the announcement of Mr. Hand that he would postpoue the motion for tha previous question until 5 o'clock in order to give opportuuity for greater debate. Ltpresetative William (111.), a democratic member of tha com mltt'jo ou coinage, opined the debate in favor of the bill. Ho criticised the present administration for working against this bill and said that If it rcssed the hou!o ho bad no doubt the administration would exert ail its mighty iu!'.ueneo t forcu sott loa premium aud create a feeling of trepidation to prevent the passage of the bill by the senate. . If we are to u.o irold and ailrcr ns money ha believed we should have a fixed ratio, hut that could never be done while on wna used as money and the other as a, commodity. The only lixed value col 1 uns is its e dit value. Its relative value cliauce j'tst as often as an overproduction or underproduction of commodities chances its purolisiu vanie. "Dots i.i y culleisuue hold," iDquired Mr. Wise of Illinois, "thai the paMaifo of this bill aod tha adoption W 'reu oina in this country will have nn 't ' c:!eot npon bullion throughout tha worh., Xithout a monetary conference and agreement h ween the nationa of the earth !

W lllllUUIII'HI IS EOl, per.isted Mr. Wik. -Hat the 1 rite 1 Ststst is oapiblc of t a!, i ti fit care of the bullion yet uncoined." Applause. In eoneiudioz Mr. VTIK.K. Williams warned the republicans that althonzh the diraorrats miirht bo diviHed on thia qnrstion, they would !e united in November on the great issue tariff reform aud success would a?ain crown their eHorts in tho next onmpalatn. Applause Corkrao Opposas. In openinz his speech in' opposition to the bill, Mr. Cockran said that this question was not a sectional one. It was not a qncstion of the eity scainst the oountry, of the banker gainst tha farmer. IIa was thankful that the party to which he belonged could contain in its ranks all men who believed in a constitutional system of government framed by our fathers, however they might di.Ter upon eoonomio or other question! of minor iinportaocf. He did not believe that, it we had a ailver standard, this country would at once go into ruin, but be did believe that, if we had eilver standard, and these f wo metals come not at onoe to a parity, the man who receives bis pay in the inferior metal for a pre-existing debt will be swindled by the operation of the government just in the ratio of the depreciation of tha value of the coin which the law corn pels him to receive. The efiect would be to create a distrust of the commercial honorof the cation which pays debts with a bludgeon. WLal do you say," interrupted Mr. Uland, of the law .f 157.1, that from 'hat day to this has robUed debtors and the people of this country of the difference between gold and si.ver?" That is a question which should be an ewered." said Mr. t'o?kran, "but if the gentleman cannot provide for an extension of my time I cannot stop to answer it lanchter. Hut I want to ask tbe gentleman from Missouri whether he calls this pendiag bill a free coinge measure?" . "li.t csatifja prj dojrecoto it m tt

"With all respect to the gentleman from Missouri," said Mr. Cockran, "I desire to say that this bill does not provide for the coinntre of gold R'id silver as it existed prior to 187-1. More than that, 1 say that it lliea in the fa-a of constitutional provisions whic.'i are tho basis of tho platform, aud faith of the democratio party. It p.nvides for tha launching of this country into the blinking tusiness and making of tiie treasury an influence which can upset trade and commerce at tho pleasure of the officials in chnree of it. It provides for tho deposit of bullion and the issuing of the treasury notes, which wiil themselves bo debased and degraded below tho Talue of the greenback." Sir. ( ummlnwi Opjioa.i. Mr. Cummings (X. Y.) spoko briefly, saying that his constituents were opposed to the panding bill, r.cd ho was not or.o who feels at liberty to cross tho desires of his constituonta. He

would, therefore, as th? rep. resents tive of the people of his d strict, cast his vote Bruins t the lil'. Mr. Diuclcy (Mr.) also spoke In opposition to tha bill, sayiiiir that tho effect would be to give to the silver mine owners of tins nation J21.l'OO.0tX) rmnually more A. j.crMMlNfi. than tin y are now receiving for their product. ('.Köret Against Kre Co nate. Mr. Loud (Cal.)said the first and most potent reason why he should voto against the bill was that in the platform of the republican party there was engrnfted a plaulc against the freo coinage of silver. If lie looked further lie would find in the laws of Lit stat, ia the obligations of almost every county and in all notes and contracts made, provisions engrafted making them payable in gold. To assume tint the people of California were in fnvor of Into coinage of silver would bo to a-sert that they were a living lie. Me ( Londi remembered w.ien as a McchiMiio he had to hike bis 10 a month in silver hih! exrh.ML.' it nt n lots of J before poyiu his butcher and baker. The ltiii)Iiraii Support, representative Martine (Nev.), tho leader of tho republican frto coinagi ;n.u, inu lo nn ablu ftr.J comprehe ii"ive speech in which be reviewed the fiscal pohcy of this country end I'.iirope on the silver question during tho psst century, (.bowing the benrfits to be derived f rum free coniiiico and cuiubattcd tho nruuients laad-J ujjainsl it. Mr. Ilatrtt's View s. Mr. ITatrh (Mo.V, believed that thia question was a national one and thcrcfure of necessity n party one. It was utterly impossible for tho ri'morraliii party to Ignore it pnst history, its promises an I its pledges to tiia people cut this subject. No amount of sophistry, no stilish or sectional appeal could draw from this cpi-ation the pledgets inudo by the Jeniucratio party in twenty eiht states in which that party declared thnt silver would bn rtstored to the place it o?eupie I in i s:t, when it v ns demoneti.ed, not by the democratio party, not by ifemorrn tio votes, but by n republican concreto. Tha gentleman from Massachusetts (Williams) bad ntt-rnpted to rea l him out of tha democratio tatty jlauahler'. Tha gentleman with an egotism ha bad never board equaled in this liotiso Lad declared salt.ititially that only those who avrei-d with him ou this iiuestiou were democrn's. ,-NVl!V, my dtar youuj frif nd," ejactilrttt'd Mr. Ilatoii, "ynu have not learned the t.rst li-ion of leuiucrucy yet. You know no more of dtmot-ratio princijles nnd the Icrno. cratio party than you know of what is going on in the world beyond laughter and arplaase'. Ttio Lrst duty of n democrat is t.i ahid by the decision of bis caucus""; and his convention and when the gentleman undertakes to read me out of tho ' f detnooratio party I simply s resent it with tha indica tion of ft democrat who T " l '-H never scratched a ticket and never bolted a nomination l-inghter and apptause." "t'ftu you refer ma to a democratio platform thst over decluied for frou oouiago ''' a.sacd Mr. Vt'illiams. "When yon want a democratio platform." replied Mr. Hatch. "tu will get it from democrats, and not from men whoie swaddling clothes have not been o!f for a week or a month or a year." "You want to real mc out of the party," said Mr. Williams. "No, sir," said .Mr. Hatch, "but you stated that tho time was c. lining when tho democratic Sarly taust ohnos between domocratic New imrlniul and tho alliance party of the South and West. I am reivty to taka my stsnd novr.

Taylor (O.) said be bad no doubt the trentlemau troni Missouri (Mr. Hatch) believrd aud would tell Iiis pipla the galleries were filled with people paid to sit out the dehnt by the money classes. Laughter. He whs surprised, however, to see that gentleman stand hire and say the repeal of the law of 1"7:J was the greatest infamy of this century and that it was dona by the republican party, by a republican cosijren and by a republican prehident. And yet the gentleman knew that not a single democrat voted against that measure in ti e T. S. senafe; that Allen ti. Thurman voted for it; that Thomas F, llayard voted for it, and that the only votes cast against it were by republicans. And yrt these silver men wero here condemning the republic-til party for It. Mr. Castle (Minn.) denied tha riaht of any democrat on the floor of the bouse to pronnunce a polioy for the party in advance of party pla'torma. 'lhey could speak of their wn states, but he objected to their speaking for hie state or for the party, when it ba t never pronounced on II. lie represented peoplo who had been democrats in and out of season. His people were opposed to this bill because it proposed to make fiat money pure and simple. oiv Jersey Oppaattlnn. Representative linglish, a New Jersey democrat, opposed the bill, and l&eprtsentative Tay lor (111.) was racogiueJ and sent up to the clerk's 0slc and bad rea 1 a proposed substitute measure intended to ridicule tiie pending bill. It proposed that at tbe request of any one, who owed more than he could pay and had the request certified by two of his creditors, who wanted their pay, should hare forV. If. MATCH. warded to him immediately by the secretary of the interior enough money to pay all his dobts. Bllnnesotft Not Mortgaged. Mr- Lind (Minn.) said he took issue . with those who represented the farmers of Lis state as bound down br mortgages. He could state from personal kuowledge that there never was a year in which the farmers of his distrlot bad paid off as many mortgagee as in 1VJ1, and there bad never been a tima when fewer loans were made or at a lower interest titan the present. Idaho's Voice. Mr. Sweet (Idaho) announced himself in favor of free coinage. Itst year every dollar in tbe liait was hoarded by the banks in the East and it was utterly impossible to obtain a dollar in the western country npon any sort of security even if yon had tne favorite money ot the gold men, unlimited confidence. 1 hat year tha government of the United States had made out of the sürar prodnc -rs of the state he represented 1,000.00. It was unfair for the government in a business speculation to trake a million a year out of the people and compel thsai to pay 1' per cent, interest a month when it came back to them. fAs, ratteren Titjn,) said ha shcul J lupjpoxt

IKeoewed apC. r. t'Ulsp. plause.l Mr. Smith (111.) deprecated the consideration of the tnaasuro from a party standpoint. We had en era of prosperity satisfactory to tho people, lie should vote against the bill. l'.-nl of Ilia Daltttta. It was now one minute to 5 and Mr. Rutler (Ia.) being recognized, closed the debate by saying that when the act of 1S73 had brought tho farmers of the country into a condition of fullering, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Taylor), a millionaire, arose and with a committee substitute for the bill added insult to injury and mocked the farmers in their suU'ering. As Mr. hutler sat down Mr. lilaud, the persistent advocate of the bill, was recognized by the speaker aud in a quiet tone of voice de rj'indud the previous question on the pending bill. TUB FUN Li ICQ INS. A ltart Hot Ttma iMirlog the FllllbusIrring. Mr. 1'urrows, like half the members of the Louse, was on his feet, but he was thero not from anxiety, but as his party's spokesman. The hair recognized him and Mr. Iturrows moved to lay the pending bill on the table and raid that motion took precedence of tho motion of the gautlemnu from Missouri and demanded tha yea and nays oti this motion. The chair decided in favor of Mr. I'.urrows. and then amid iutecso exoitoment the clerk becen to call thu roll on Mr. Harrows' motion, which brought the question to a eiuare test vote, Excitement became intense as tne call progressed and members plainly showed it in the restlose manner in which tliey moved about end crowded to the apace m front ot tho speaker's desk. At tho conclusion of the roll call the exci foment bad risen to fever heat. At first n rumor sircad that the motion had been carried by three, votes and the Illand bill was beaten. An nnti-'ilver man in the rear of the house started to shout but iiickly eheckud himself as a doubt orcrcamo him. Snved ly C'rtap. 1'rivate information given out that the vote stood yens 1 M, usys 117, excited every member and the aisles were thronged as the clerk proceeded to recapitulato tbe voto. The tension 1 1 which the members rcra subjected had tho eil'ect of reducing them to a state of comparative ouiet, although anxiety was shown on -very countenance. Hut in the gal-lerii-s the tiur, of expectation was very noticeable ami it was with liiliculty that the clerk reading in a clear, resonant voice could piake himself heard. 'J ha recapitulation being completed the s peaktr rose from his chair to niinoviiica tho result, but before) do- .1. I OUPMAN. ing so directed the clerk to call his name. The clerk called "Mr. Crisp of ( leorgia." and "Mr. ( risp of UcorgiV nvailimr himself ot his right as a representative, cast Ids vote in the negative amid the deafening applause of tho advocates of the measure. Mr. Illand, not aware that this vote saved his measure from immediate annihilation, changed bis vote from the negative to the allirmative in ordnr that he might have an opportuuity to move a r.'uonsideration, but beim; advised in a moment that the motion was deieated by a tie vote, again changed it to the negative. In the meantime tha members had clustered in tho space in front of tho speaker's desk nnd many propounded questions as to the side upon which they were recorded. In each case the reply was a satisfactory one, and no change was made in the result. They CnuMn't Vota. As the inquiries as to the manner in which they bad been recorded were being answered Mr. Knloe (Tenn.), with bis bat on, hastily strode into the house and said he desired to have his voto recorded. Tha Speaker "Was the gentleman in the house during the roll call aud failed to hear his mime called ':" Mr. Enloe wos compelled to respond i.i the negative. The speaker was Inexorable and said the gentiemau could not vote, Mr. Enloe yielding aud announcing that ha had just come in from an investigating committee. Mr. llerhert (Ala.) next asked the same privilege of being recorded nnd replied in the af firmative to that part of tha inquiry as to whether or not ho was in the ball nf the bouse during tho vole, but when the speaker a second time inquired if the gentleman failed to bear his name called Mr. Herbert was fain to reply '"I could not say that, ana accordingly tin speaker refused to permit him to vo.e.

President Harrison yesterday appointed the Hon. John II. ltaker of Goshen to suooed Judgo Woods as judgo of tho U. b', district iuiiN jujiuuii:. court of Indiana and the Hon. Manton J. Peella of thia city as judge ot the court of claims. Mr. Ilaker was born In 1'arma township, Monroe county, New York, Feb. 21, 11-22. When a child his parents removed to Fulton county, Ohio. Then until he w as twenty years old he worked on the farm in summer and in the winter attended the country schools of the vicinity. l!y his own effort he secured three yearn' instruction in college at Delaware, O. He studied law at Adrian, Midi., and was admitted to the bar and oommenced practice in (JoHhen in ksS7. In lNiJ ho was elected to the state senate. In be wna elected to congress and re-elected in 1870, l7d and 1SS0. .Nince retiring from congress Mr. Ilaker b.-.s been in the active practice of the law. Ho ia nt present the attorney of the Lake Hhore system iu Indiana. He was a brother-in-law of tiie lato Judge Mitchell of the supreme court, aud prior to the election of the latter tho two were aesociatod in the law practice. Mr. Prelle was born in Wayne county Feb. It, 18-13. where he lived until lsV, when he removed w ith his futber to Winchester. He received a common school education aud adopted the profession of the law. He entered the army in Autiust, li-Cl, as a private in the Highlit Indiana infantry, and sixteen mouths later was rromoted to a lieutenancy in the Fifty-seventh ndiuna. From 1S04 until the close of the war he served in the commissnry department. He resumed the practice o law at Winchester in IMld and in lv6'. removed t Indianapolis. In lh7ti he was elected Irotn Marion county to the lower house of the general assembly, and wus reelected in 1S7M. In lHHi) he was elected to congress from the Seventh district, defeating t as Hy field. In 18.S1' he received the certificate ot election to a second term, but ou a contest the house, with a majority of two, awarded the seat to William F.. Koglish, democrat. In ISM Mr. l'eelle wee again the republican nominee for congress, but was defeated by W. D. Jlynvm. Last winter Gov STANTON J. PEEI.I.E. ernor llovey appointed him a trustee of the hoys' reform school. He ia a delegate at large to the national republican convention. The position to whioh Mr. reelle has been appointed is for life at $1,603 a year. The republicans whose defeat is distinctively marked by the appointment of the Hon. John 11. ilaker to the U. S. district judgship in this state are in a quandary as to the position they will hereafter take toward Harrison. It is an appointment that will renew grievances, exoite further eiiseontent and deprive the president of many of the best republican workers in the state. Harrison has ignored -the wishes of

A ' 2

the men who bs.ve worked night and day in his behalf since ;F.l!jati W. Ilalford discovered tho very remote possibility of making him president. They never went to Harrison because they loved him. That has been recognized from the outset, and now that he has added to the many cause of disaffection an uproar iu republican ranks of the state is liable to break out at any time. Tho practical pnlitioisns regard the appointment as poor politics. Itaker owes it to Attor-tiey-liencral Miller, aud everything that Miller does is looked upon as poor politics, in l?sb when the "S.ick Six" machine started out to rapture the delegation for Harrison John II. ilaker was on thu doubtful list. He remained insetivo even after the nomination of Harrison for along time, or until JuJiro Taylor of 1 ort Wayne brought bim over to the active support of Harrison. bince the elevation of Judge Wools from tiie supreme court of Indiana to tho V. S. district court l'.aker has been feeling sore and disposed to skulk. He wanted the place himsolf, nt.d thought Woods was being ttdvanced too rapidly. F.ven now il will call Haher to hold ou inferior judicial position to Woo l. Since Harrison assumed the executive otlice nt Washington, Ilaker hits been a conslant applicant for a big ollice. He wanted to go on the supreme bench when tho first vacancy oocurrcd. T hen when the new circuit Judges were created br the Tom lled congress he expected to bo appointed to the plae given to liudley's savior. Various positions have been tendered liaker by the j rrent administration, among the number being iho Chinese nmiu and a piece on the court ot claims, but he declined them all. Hut it is the defeat of Judgo Olds that is looked upon as the worst sort of politics by tho machine men. From the outset Olds bus been a stanch supporter of Harrison, - He is credited with being the best republican potitician in northern Indiana, In 1?., when tho saniitnint in the Twelfth district was nlmost unanimous for Orosham, through the slick work of I lds two llarriaon delegate were sent to the national convention. "liiily" Wilson was recently defeated for district committee, man by Harry 1 1 anna through Olds, and It w as also through Olds aud Lis friends thnt K. T. Mcponald was defeated for delegate U tho Minneapolis convention. When Woods was nominated by Harrison as ono of tho new judges petitions from tho bars of nearly rvery county in tlm stau-, cither unanimous or in part, went sent to the presi. dent for Olds. He, wus hacked by the i. A. JC, Judge Walkur of Indianapolis, Judge Monks of Winchester and ex-l'ungrcsiman Ilaker of (ios'nen being his principal competitors. Jt wni Ohls acam-t the. field. Monks' bucking w::s local, chiefly confined to llandolph and !e!aware counties. 'Um same was true of Judge Walker, linker's backer was W. 11. II. Miller, "iaw partner" and attorney general. It was urged in favor of Olds th tt ho had doue a great ileal for Harrison hud m.ide it possible for him to set a solid delegation Io Chicngo in 1"S, (lds was a young man with a larire following. Iiis appointment would go far; to pacify the Tweltth district kickers. I'.ven eX'Cougresaman White said he would forgive lliinisou if he appointed Old district judge. As to Ilaker it was admitted that bis Wal experience was more extended than that of Ol is. and Ilaker was old nu J bis appointment would heal no sores in the g. o. p. W no Is, t'o, was considered a (ioshrn man, and to give (othen two life-long positions would n d be treating tho other sections of the statu properly. Against Monks the charges were that be was arbitrary. In Lis favor that the "Uurnt" district furnished the republican majorities and under the present administration it bad been left out hi the cold. Harrison luve the politician to uuderctand that be vonli make no more appointments from Marion county. Taking this lor granted the friends of Judge Walker elid no', ur-e his appointment with that vigor they would havo otherwise taken into the struggle. Judge 111liott waa not pushed for the place for the same reason, .Now that l'eello has been appointed to the court of ela'ms from Marion eofmy the friends of Judge Walker feel that they have been "buncoed." Hut it is from the friends of Judge Oi ls that the administration wiil lone tho moat. "l!y the appointment of Ilaker, Harrison has settled his fttie in this tdate," said a friend of Oils at the Hates last night. "Olds is a good re; ullicau and will voto to.' Harrison but be will not be very active. The at f. is true of his fiiends." A i'ort Wayne republican present said: "Hut what do you think ot the appointment of C. II. A Ulrich of Chicago to the big oil ca of solicitor general which pays j7,ü:K) a year a place considered next to a cabinet oilice'.'" "Well, what's tho matter with Aldrich? Is he not qualified?" asked a Harrison man from Kicbiuond. "Oh, as fares rpialifications count be is ail right," said the Fort Wayne man. "1H) is one of the best lawyers iu the country, lie was at the head of the bar while at Fort Wayne, Hut what we republicans complain ot is that Aldrich is not a republican, lie does not believe in republican principles. He is a freo trader out aud out and a civil service reformer. luring bis tcu years' residence in 1 ort Warne be never made a republican speech. He took no interest in politics. Ha studied law in Attorncy-Urneral Miller's ollice while the latter liractieed law in Fort Wayne, and Miller, knowing Abirich's Jecal ability, had him appointed. Now if life loiig working republicans like Olds are to bo iguored and freetraders like Aldrich appointed to fatotlices, I would like to know who is goiog to look af;er Harrisou's re-election uoxt November." "Stanton J. l'eelle is a lucky man," said an ex-state acnator at the Doniso. "1 tell you there ia such a thing as luck. There era hundreds of lawyers all over the state who have been working hard for years who remain in the cold, while there ia l'eelle, who has been doing nothing but hold oilice from congressman down to trustee of :he reform school, catching cu to a life job at a year. That beats all l'eelle's greatest legal ellorts, even when be appeared for the Harrison boodlers in 1 -t, when the indictments wero quashed by Judge Woods. One hundred and thirty indictments were quashed in fifteen minutes." TOO MUCH FOR 1 N UI AN I ANS.

W'AMII.NeiTON, The appointment of Stanton J. l'eelle to tho federal judiciary was received with a gnod deal more surprise than that of ex-Representative Ilaker of Goshen, Ind., to till Woods' shoes as U. S. district judge for tho district of Indiana. Any amount of criticism of tho president is heard among senators and representatives on aeoount ot bis appointing" so many Indiana men to federal positions. A senator said to lay when be heard of l'eelle's appointment: "W don't seem to be in it at all; tbe ludisnians get everything that is going." representative Johnson of Indiana is not at all pleased with the appointment of Hater. He was working hard for Monka aud thinks bo has not been treattd right. THREE GOSHEN LAWYERS. They Ilecama Judges of High Cruris tiy r.lactloli or Appointment. Goshen, Ind., March 21. Special. Tho appointment of the Hon. John H. Ilaker to the circuit judgeship, made vacant by Judge Woods' advancement, ia being celebrated by the republicans here tonight. Ilaker'a appointmeut is one of a peculiar train of cirenmsUcees. About seven years ago Judges Woods aud Mitchell, both of this city, were running tgainst each Other lor a state supreme bench judgeship. Woods waa elected and subsequently promoted by Arthur to tho I'. S. district court, Mitchell waa elected by the democrats to take bis place on the supreme bench. Woods' aecoud promotion gives a place on the F. S, district bench to liaker, a broiher-in-law of tho late Judce Mitchell. Tough on Laboring Plan. To THE KniTOn Mr: The president takes John II. Haker for U. S. judge. A railroad lawyer on ft salary for years will bo good for laboring men 1 should think. Stanton J. IVelle for court of claims.
