This proviso was changed today, however, and he was given to understand that he would not be held down to the aboy unamed vesteiction in case he was unable to effect u successful consummation this week, There has been a great deal of talk among some of the republicans today to_ the efiect that the election of Thurston would be taken in the nature of an affront by the anti monopoly wing of the party, and that it would be necessary to counteract it by rad ical railroad legislation, if the party hoped for suc in Nebraska in 1804 ECOND YFAR.

Mr. Catchings from the rules committee reported dér for the silver répeal bill, and gave notice that he would call it up Febru- ar; In the morning the anti-option bill was the center of interest, and before the opening of the session little knots of mem- bers congregated and discussed the probable course which would be pursued in disposing of the measure. The opponencs of legisla- tion were on the alert, and the justant that Mr. Hateh made his motion for u conference, Mr. Bynum of In¢ was addressing the speaker with a point of order, that the sen- ate amendments must first be considered in committee of the whole. The discussion of Me. Bynum's point was a brief one, but long enough to show that the fight over the meas- ure will be sharpand vigorous. The speaker will decide the point of order tomorrow, and in the weantime the bill will remain on the speaker's table, John Davenport and the federal election laws then occupied the attention of the house. They were brought forward by an awendment “offered by Mr. Fitch of New York to the sundry civil bill providing that hereafter no part of any money appropriated to pay any fees to the United States com- missioners, marshals or clerks shall be used forany warvant issued, or arrest made under the laws relating to the election of members of congress unless the prosecution has been commenced on a sworn compluint setting forth the facts constituting the offense and alleging them to be within the personal knowledge of the affiant.
