Congressional Silver Debates Signal Test Vote Prospects
Senator Lindsay hints at keeping repeal as a bargaining tool to force a test vote on silver while Voorhees signals possible late sessions and new legislation. The coalition faces pressure to allow debate, avoid closure, and weigh President’s stance as silver advocates seek time to secure support. Also local items report hotel debt, criminal court delays, and social notices in Huntington and nearby towns.
