Senator Hill does not as a rule dignify with a denial a nyofthe numerous "fakes" published about him in ie publican papers, and he did not authorize to deny the Li test, that lie was contempla t i n g an early .resignation from the Senate, but anyone atall acquainted with the character of the man should know that he would not have Used a republican paper, or in fact any paper atall to have made the announce ment, even if he nciually did intend to resign. There are other reasons which make it certain that the Senator has no present intention of resign ing, but t am nbt at liberty to give them at this time. There is, however, one thing that may be said for the spe cial benefit of those who pre dicted differently. Senator Hill proposes taking a very active part in carrying Xew York for Cleveland and Ste venson and jn electing a dem oeratic legislature, which will elect Senator Hiseock's suc cessor, and hi.s activity isn't to be on paper, but on the stump in every section 6f the State. This will probably be the last week of the present ses sion of Congress, unless there should be a dead lock be tween the House ond Senate on the World's Fair appro priation, and that is not. re garded by those, who ought to be best informed as prob able. A member of the House Appropriation bill said this morning that he did not think the attempt of the re publicans to make political capital out of the democrat ic opposition t? t' e appro priation would influence any votes when the question comes up again on the report of the conference committee to the House, but that lhos; democrats who had voted a gainst i t on Constitutional grounds would be satisfied with having put themselves on record and would not fili buster in any way to prevent the House receding: rfrc m its previous position, if those fa vorinsr the appropriation can muster a majority, arid it is generally believed that they ran. As soon as the Fair appro priation is disposed of the House will be ready to a d journ, and unless the anti-op tion bill, now before the Sen ate, shall prove a stumbling block, the Senate will raise no objection". The support ers of the anti-option bill in the Seriate say that it has be-h demonstrated that they are in a majority and that they intend to pass the bill before adjourning, but the op position is n very determined minority apd they gay they .vill talk all summer, if neces sary, to prevent a vote from being taken, oi the bill. There is a good deal of bluff in both statements, and if the World's Fair appropiia tion be disposed pf the very warm weather will do the rest, and adjournment may be. looked for at once. L 1.sof silly twaddle h.is Ik "en sent out from Washing ton during the Inst two or three days about the demo cratic! Senators having a greed to aid Senator Camer on and Ojiny to bring about the rejection of the nomina tion of Mr. Shirns, of Penn sylvania, in the hope that the vacancy might eventual ly be vec'Crnl by a democrat It is all rot. A member of the Judiciary committee said on the subject: "There has ben no agreement among demo crats and the committee in deferring action on the nom ination at the request of the Senators from Mr. Shiras' State onlj acted in accord ance with the pteseedent. As no charges ha ve neen made again? t Mr. Shims, I expect to see his nomination con firmed this wet.k." Sol. Gates, rhainmnof the l'inke: ton investigating com mittee, has onlj one arm, but. lie has nerve enough for a man with a dozen arms ami it was not surpising, then-fore, that when John Pelvin, one of the Knights of Labor ex'"MUive committee, intimate I to him thathehad tavored the Pinkertons in their examinations that li e should Have responded with languagewhicli nlways means n'tiht in Col. Oats' section, and he would have followed it up with a blow h.;id lVlvin not been taken away. So uiuch has been said a bout the opposition to Mr. Cleveland among tho.V 'dem ocrats who favor free coin age and of threats made by thf-m of bolting the ti.ket, that I went to Representa tive Bland, of Mo., who, du ring the several silver con tests of the preseut session w a s everywhere, recognized as the leader of thesilveroVm ocrats, just before he 1 e f t Washington to do a little campaign work, in search of information. He said. in an swer to questions,: '"Yes, we silver democr.ifs wore disap pointed, ailid we are still a little madj too, about our second defeat; but not one of us has ever had the remotest idea of bolting tlie ticket of our party. 1 expect to take the stump for Cleveland and Stevenson, and, I expect that every democrat who voted for free coinage will do the same." Mr. Harrison succeeded in convincing the democratic members of the House com mittee on Foreign Affairs of the necessity of railroading through the House the bill authorizing him to retaliate upon Canadian vessels for Canadian discriminations a gainst American vessels, and the same bill, after statement made by members of tne For eign committee, in executive session, w a s unanimously passed by theSenate.thomrh a number of democratic Sen ators doubted the wisdom of placing such autocratic pow er in the hands of the Presi. dent.

'legation arose nod si id: "This State has no candi date tc pn per t to the Con vention, but we haveselectcd Mr. McKeiizio to second the nanieoJ a gentlemauaIreadyti,Py sl.,rt the report in nomination." that God Almighty is making James A. McKenzie I shall L indifferent article of sun not long intrude myself on shine, and that it is milita- the p'a tierce of this con vention. I want to say in the outset that if 1 address it longer than three minutes, I sincerely ti ust that some hon est, tried democrat will sus pend my cadaver from one of the cross beams of this highly art istic but somewhat l-Mkr auditorium. I arise, sir, for the purpose of second ing the nomination of ai dis tinguished Xew Yorker, one whose nomination has a 1 ready A voice "Which one?" Mr. McKenzie You wait a minute. One whose nomina tion has already been made by a convention larger and more potential than this; a convention of unbought and U'ipurrhasahle democrats; a convention r e m o t from towns, una wed by influence and unbribed by gain, a con vention whose hall reaches from Rainy Lake to Key West and from Androscoggin to Yobadam. Thispeiiod of the speaker produced a convulsion of laughter ot the subsidence of which he said, as several cries to "(io on" fell from the air. Give me time to catch wind, won't you? A voice Give him an hour.'" Pardon the force arid seeming profanity of the hist geographical allu sion. Laughter. All over the country the democrats realize that Mr. Cleveland loild applause and cheers is the honest, persistent, defi ant, relentless opponent of that axiom of the republican party which announces that ''in thesweatof ahired'man's face thou sha.lt eat bread." As the speaker paused, ap parently to catch his "second wind," lie was greeted w i t h cries of "Go on." "Takeyour time. We will never suspend you." The speaker continued: H you knew how many g o o d things I had to s.iy, von would keep uf' still as a dor inous in a prayer meetmg Laughter and a a occasion; cry of "time's up," IV yoiijOn the- thirty-sixth ballot want ir.e to stop? , The an-, dr. Jefferson as.eiected. dience indicated that it did not in a most emphatic man ner. The American people believe that Mr. Cleveland is the most persistent advocate, of everything on God's green earth that is right and the persistant advocate, or op ponent, rather, of every thing that is wrong, laughterjand he wants to se the blessings of civil and t eligious liberty entailed upon the remotest posterity, ond if youean pick a flaw in' that platform, do it. The republican j'mrty lev ied a tax upon everything that inters i n t domestic con.-u nipt ion of the n wrnge ho'iselinld. except air, sun-! shiueiind water Laughter ; and tiie up.ly ren.-on they' h ive not taxed these airticj les is because nobody in Xew!

"Reprerer.ting, Mr. Chair man, more than half t h e democrats of that great State, it affords me g r e a t pleasure to say that on ev ery hill-side, in every valley of that magnificent common wealth, where the sun delights to kiss her rheck like a lov er, everybody, male and f e -male, including Indians not taxed laughter - -is for Geo ver Cleveland. Applause. Elected By the Hoi se. Richmond Dispatch. Thomas Jefferson was elec ted the fori th Piesident -of the '.United States b y t h e Hons e of Representatives. The House voted to com mence balloting on Wednes day, Feb. 11, 1801, and not to adjourn until a choice was effected. Seats were provid ed upon the floor for the President and Senators du ring the balloting; the galle ries were cleared of specta tors and the doors were clos ed.. Upon the first ballptThom ;is Jefferson received the votes ol eight States, Aaron Burr the votes of six States, and the votes of Vermont and Maryland (the representa tives' of which were dividedj were given in blank. The session lasted for sev en days, nominally without adjournment. There were a hundred and four members , irewiit. One member who was ill was at tended bv his wife. John Quineoy Adams, the tenth President was elected by the House of Representa tives, the Electoral College not giving either of. the four candidates the requisite ma jority, which was L52 votes. The vote stood by the col lege: Andrew Jackson 09. John Q. Adams 41. W. H.. Crawford 41. Henry Cla ....37. The House of Representa tives balloted for tlie three highest candidates, at which JohnQuincey Ada ms received Li, Andrew Jackson 7, W. H, Crawford 4, . . John Quincey Adams was oeelnreo dulv ejected'.' no. ro. I I! EE Cl AGE. lt.dt i:nrc Sun. A correspondent asks for a common sense every day school boy e. plana tion of t he "silvi r question." The "sil ver question" nt prtsent is. whether the mints cf the Uni ted States shall coin silver dollars weighing Hi", grains as freely as they coin gold money. Any owner of gold bullion can take it to mint flnd have it coined into gold twenty, ten, five two and dollar gold pieces at his op tion, and to any amount. Tie same 'freedom' is sought by the silver men for the hol ders of vi 1 ver bullion. The ob ject ion made to this free coin age of silver is that 412 grains of silvei are not now worth '2"t.f: grains of gold as they once were. In other words, the quantity of silver it is proposed to put in the silver dollar whose coinage i.i to be free is not. worth 100 cents, but is only worth j(i cents. All free coinage bills make the silver dollar of 4I1V2 grains legal tender for debts of 100 cents an obvi ously unjust thing to do. If free coinage, as advocated in? Congress meant putting 100 cents worth worth of silver overl.'O grains in a dollar, nobody could object to it, but there is a dee'ded objec tion to make GO cents' worth of .silver pass for 100 cents. The silver men insist on the free coinage of ihc lignt dol lar. In view of the above fact, is not the free coinage plaiik in the Xational Democratic Platform a sound one? There are more than sixty millions of people in theUnited States and of that number very few ha ve silver bullion for coin age purposes.- .The inostnat nral, human thing for thesil yer man to do is o insist ori t he free coinage of the light dollar. Why? lUvause h,; would thereby gain fhiit four cents in every dollar, or thirty-four dollars , in ev s-y hundred dollars. How mr1; haa the South to coin ? This would give the silver men a monopoly, and enrich rhefew. Democratic doctrine is equal justice to all and special fa vor to none. Will the reader please think upon this sub ject a little. Ought not. a silver dollar be. equal in value to a gold dollar? Obscrvei : There ha e ben: a good many third parties in this country -the Anti-Ma son, the Free Soil, the Amer ican, the Greenback, the La bor, the Prohibit-on, and now. we have the People's party. They all start the same wrijv Some fellows imagine that, they are the only honest pen-, pie in the world, and begin to pop their fists and make a noise. They stir up preju dice with their false state--innts and mislead people here and there. Rnt after a. while the sober s e c o n d -thought of intelligent people leads them to repudiate wild ., notions, and the party of the Constitution and the lawsJ and individual freedom, stands fairer in their eye? 1 than ever before.'
