Debate over naval cadet appointment sparks House clash
In Washington March 6 minor business preceded pension bill debate. A heated dispute erupted over appointing a naval cadet from South Carolina’s fifth district after Secretary of the Navy allegedly filled vacancies with residents from other districts. The House speaker ruled the discussion out of order. Also discussed were resolutions on writs to the injunction against the Northern Pacific and a seigniorage bill, with lawmakers proposing amendments and delays amid tariff and tax reform talk. The day included the Violet tender’s return with President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham aboard and the Britannia’s victory in a yacht race off Manseillies. In Alabama, Sovereign of the Knights of Labor planned a speech supporting the Jeffersonian Populist movement.
