Interest In tho debato was complotoly overshadowed by n, sensational attack mado upon President Cleveland by Mr. Hnrtmuu, Montana Republican, who felt himself personally aggrieved by Mr. Cleveland's utterances at the Presbyterian Homo Mission meeting in Now York on Tuesday, and who seized the opportunity allowed by tho latitudo of debate on ap propriation bills to repel the Idea that tho western states were tho homes of ovll in fluences. Ho charged the president with Insulting tho citizens of those states, and termed Mr. Cleveland's remarks "an un founded slander" and a "gross improprie ty," and insinuated that his purposo was to create a sentiment against tlio admis sion of tho territories because they differed with him on tho money quostion.
