the sentence Of Gen. Anderson it is
understood that very decided opin-
ions were expressed to the effect that
the interference Of the Governor of
Louisiana in favor of Anderson
should not be withheld. So far as
can be learned no communications
have been sent from any representa-.
tive of the General Government to |
the Executive of the State Of Louis |
lana, but it was remarked TO day by
an official holding close relations
with the Administration that in this
matter there was neither Indifferent e
nor Inactivity on the part of the
President. 1t seems probable that
the Government awaits further pro
ceedings in he New u leans court
before entering into the subject from
this point. The general impression
is that Governo Nichols ought and
will interfere.
Members of the Cabinet are unuS-
ually reticent regarding the tenor Ut
the discussion Upol the Silver bill,
or as to- probable results. There is,
however, ground for believing that
the President will in a day or two
address message to Congress in con-
nectiDn with the bill now awaiting
his action, Whether this will lie n
veto message or not is yet altogether
matter of conjecture. There can be
obtained no official authority for any
declaration in the premises 1t Is no
secret that the view, of the Cabinet
were not unit on the subject OF
what action should be taken. There
is probability that the discussion
will be renewed on Friday ~, Xt, uN-
less in the meantime "a special meet
ing chali be called to determine tive
subject. 1t is remarked as a GER
taiuty that the bill viii either e
signed or vetoed, and that there is
no probability whatever that it will
become law by the expiration ot
ten days.
