The republican anti silver In the House have
pretty generally backed down, and many OF them
are now as anxious az the SILVER men that the bill
shall become law. There Is no doubt that some Of
them Will even vote for the bill against the veto.
They already say that they accord with the
President OIL general political questions and do not
ieei any obligation therefore to support MIS- veto.
In the Senate the effect Of the difficult
to ioreten Tho veto stood, counting pairs 81 10 "a

In the house General Butler expects to deliver u
