Since Congress entered upon its
holiday recess, the opponents OF the
Bland silver bill have been working
theoretically to beat it and prevent its
becoming law. Considerable pressure
has been brought to bear upon several
Republican Senators who have enter
tanned some doubts as to the WISDOM
OF passing a bill providing for an I'M
limited legal tender power, IA u Is
now claimed with a degree of posi-
tiveness that more than n third oil
the Senate will vote against any meas
ure containing this provision, and that
the President will be sustained II he
sends in a veto. 1t Is considered II a
there is more than a two thirds vote
in the Senate in favor OF a Silver bill,
but the two-thirds do not favor a Dill
making silver al unlimited legal ten
der. The votes relied on to prevent
the passage of a sweeping bill over an
EXeeIlilXe veto are tNtlNt HUN VI
New England States, two from New
York, two from Delaware, one from
MARYLAND Dennis), one from Georgia
(HilI, N from Mississippi (Lamar),
one from Michigan (Christiancyl one
from California : ~(Sargent), and n
from Oregon (Mitchell). These TWEEN
ty-two votes are considered certain.
The remaining four votes are looked
for from the following six. classed "a
doubtful on the point: Grover, OF
Oregon, Booth. ofCalifornia, Window,
of Minnesota, Eustis of Louisiana,
Chaffee, of Colorado, and Paddock, of
Nebraska.
Schurz denies that he intends to re-
sign, and especially denies having
written his resignation a. alleged. lie
may be removed. but never expects 10
resign. Regarding the alleged attempt
of Evarts' friends to put the response
bility OF the New York nominations on
him, he knows nothing, but says he
has attended to nothing outside OF hi-
own Department. Evarts refuses to
affirm or deny the stories that he will
attempt to Dust SchurZ, but says iii
general of such stories that they are
nonsense, which he has 10 tint or nc
liking to notice. In view of these aud
other similar statements, it is proper
to resffirm that the compromise be
tween Conkling and Evarts on the
basis of Schurz leaving the Cabinet is
assured.
