There was but ohe party that had adhered strict- ly to_their promises. The party of principle was the national greenback party. Mr. Weaver read the demo- cratio platform for 1880, and argued ! that it was a cowardly endorsement of | rapublican theories, and the people of the United States had said in the late election that they preferred the party that was openly in favor of the syndi- cate, and would not swap horses while crossing the stream. A rambling discussion ensued re- garding the democratic platform. ! ™ Mr. Weaver coitinued his_attacks fapon both parties, end during the 1 progress of his remarks the members gathered about him from all parts of the hall. Democratic members accused him of beiog a republican at heart, and of going to Alabama during the late cam- paig under the direction of republi- can leaders. Weaver continued tc de- fend himself and to attack the demo- crate, until Mr. Wood again tried to stop the discussion, but the gentlemen 0a both sides seemed avxious to have iv go on. The animosity between Mr. Sparks and Mr. Weaver showed itself again, and but for the interference of the friends of each and the sergeant-st- arme, they certainly would hsve fought. After the excitement had subsidod somewhat, Mr. Weaver, apparently cool and collected, immedutely de- manded to bs recognized, as he w. entitled to the floor, but the commit- toe arose and the houss adjonrned. The closing tiit between Mr.Sparks and Mr. Weaver 3sused intense ex- citement 1n the galleries, which were crowded. It was by all odds the liveliest ecene that has occurred in the houe for years. The eubject will come up in some shape in the house to-morrow. FOREICN NOTES. NIHILISTIC PLOT DISCOVERED. Spocial Dispatch 10 The Eee CoxnsTaNTINOPLE, December 21—10 p. m —For some time past, the story has been in circulatton here, that shortly before the czar left St. Peters- ‘burg for Lividla, the police discovered a freshly dug pit near Slavgorod, on the line of the railway over which he was to pase.
