Silver and Brace Clash Over Silver Dollar Amendment
The Free Silver faction faced a setback as the Committee of the Whole sustained a point of order against Bland's amendment to coin silver bullion into standard dollars. The chair ruled the amendment out as non germane, prompting further debate and appeals. In the Senate, river and harbor bills moved forward with amendments increasing some projects and trimming others as the session adjourned.
