Waahtngton, Feb, i .Ute*- a struggle lasting
nearly four h..mf*. Mr. Bland and hla followers
to-day -urrco*-.,' ir carryln** tha motion to eon-*
Fld'-r the Silver Mil i-eporteS by the majority of
the Committee tn Coinage, ard about i (Vclocli

few silver Repubileans voted for the motion, and
t"-,->--e woi** Bcatterlng Democ-rallc votea against
lt, but mont of tba Rep-jollc-ana and nearly all
the Eaatern Deniocrata refrained from voting.
The only New-England l>t-riocral who v,?t.*<i in
the affirmative was MeEttrieb. of Maraaachu
notts. No New-Torb or New-Jersey Democrat
did so, but Erdman. Krtbba Reilly atv! dibley,
rf Pennaylvnnla, voted tor tha motion. Th" ro?
main,ler of the affirmative votas were rnsi by
Poutheni ard Weatern Den*--*crata an.l Populists,
and rho HI 'lion was carried nn tho third trial
by ITT yeaa to 4 mys. Speaker Crisp took
pairs to have his own vote rec *rded in tha
affirmative, although it was aol neoeaaary ta
eomplete tho quorum.

The votea in tho Hous-* yesterday and to-day
on Mr. eland's motion clearly Indicated that the
concessions o' Popullat-I>mocrata to "aound

inr'. Na fewer than aeventy-two Democrats
who on Aiiqnst 28, l*-*):.. voted for th" uncondi?
tional repea1 of the bullion purehaalng provision
of the art of i*:m. have recorded their votea In
favor of Mt. Marni's motion to consider ,,no of

"Cl'CKOO" SONGS KOIK-OTT.-N NOW.
These converts appear alreadv to have for?
gotten the "cuckoo" hymns which they sam?
with more or less enthusiasm last August under
the Inspiration of Administration promises of
"pie" as a reward for their efforts, ot the
seventy-two Democrat* above named forty-two
also voted last August against tlie Rland amend?
ment to revive rhe limited coinage act of 1*,?$.
They were Baldwin. Rarwl-f, Black (ill.). Brock- '

Brown, Bynum. Oabar.lss. Caruth, Catchings.

If the seventy-two Democrats who are voting
with Bland now had followed his load last
August, unconditional repeal, instead of passing
the House of Representatives by the overwhelm?
ing majority of 131. would have been defeated
by a majority of thirteen votes; or If the forty
two Democrats who than voted against tho
amendment referred to had followed Blands
lead as they are now doing, lt would have been
adopted by a majority of aavanty, Instead of ba?
llal rejected by a majority of aeventy-aeven
votes.
It is evident from the foregoing comparisons
not only that th" votes ol Democrats yester?
day and to-day in favor of silver Inllation more
truly reflect their roil sentiments than did their
votes on the Silver Repeal bill, but that If the
Administration d> sli.-s the defeat of tho pend?
ing measure it will ba obliged to bentlr Rael! and
n-sort to means which wera found to bo so potent
and effectual last summer.
