SILVER In THE SENATE.
The yo Expected by the Friends Of silver
Cincinnati Enuuirer,l


WASHINGTON, Jan. 18-Senators Merrimon
and Maxey both announced themselves for
silver, and delivered long speeches in favor of
reconciliation to-day. Both speeches were
able, but neither attracted much attention.
The silver men have now canvassed the entire
Senate thoroughly and figured up Just fifty
two, or an exact two-thirds. whom they pro
fess to believe will vote for Blands bill with
Allison's ame endment, which limits tie yearly
coinage to 81 ,000, 900, and the Senate commit
tees Amendments, which Strikes out the free
coinage clause. The fifty-two whom the most
sanguine OF silver men claim as checked off
on the list which Senators have agreed upon
are as follows: Allison, Armstrong, Bailey,
Beck. Cameron OF Wisconsin, Cameron OF
Pennsylvania, Chaffee Chrlstiancy. CockrelI.

Butler, who was undecided when he came on
and has been ON the fence for some days, has
at last got down ON the gold side. Yesterday
he told your correspondent That he had de-
eided to vote against the silver bill. Patter-
son, who is also counted in this list, has not
put in an appearance in the Senate yet, and
the chances are that he will not be present to
vote on the silver bill. Kellogg and Chaffee
also are both sha<y. Hence It is safe to say
that forty-nne is the outside which the silver
men can count: and to get this must get their
full vote. The silver men realize this state OF
affairs, though they dislike to admit it, and
are therefore rather nervous through fear Of o

COIN IN THE TREASURY,
Belief That Sherman's Coin Statement
Is Erroneous.
TSt. Louis Republican ]


WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The Banking and
Currency Committee to-day decided to offer to
the House resolution authorizing the com
mttee to learn the amount of coin in the pos
session Of the government the average receipt
of the same, and all points of interest in this
regard as looking toward the resumption of
specie payments. Such method of acquir-
ing the information has been made necessary
by. the incomplete and, in truth, not alto
gether reliable reports which have at different
times been made to the House in answer
to resolutions asking for the information and
the regular monthly and weekly statements.
Secretary Sherman, and even Secretary Bris-
tow have made reports which partook of the
equivocating character Of estimates, and
which disagreed, largely with the published
weekly or monthly statements. The idea of
the committee now is to bring Secretary Sher-
man before it, put him on oath, may be- and
catechise him for all they want to know and,
II necessary, examine the books, and even the
vaults, to ascertain the truth. The are sew
eral members of the committee who suspect
that the recent statement Of Secretary Sher-
man that the government had one hundred
and forty millions In coin ready for resump-
tiOn is not founded upon fact.

York national banks are not so united on the
subject Of bulldozing the country on the silver
question as they would like to be thought.
Mr.. Thompson, president of the Chase Ma
tional Bank, writes to Q friend in Washington
fayoring the Bland bill, and expressing the
opinion that its passage is necessary TO re-
lieve the present financial distress Possibly
there will be more expressions of this sort
when the New York bankers have had time to
consider the hint thrown out by Gen. Butler
that bulldozing is q game that two can play at,
and that IL the national banks carry out their
threat OF q conspiracy to defeat the remon-
etization of silver in the event of the passage
OF the pending bill, Congress will retaliate by
terminating their charters.
