THE CAUCUS TAKES TIE BAYARD BULL BY
THE HORNS.
The Senate Democratic caucus received
this morning from Messrs. Thurman, Nc
Donald and Garland q verbal report of the
fruitless result Of their efforts to affect au
arrangement with Dayard for the with.
drawal Of his resignation Of the Finance
Committee Craftsmanship, aud for an
agreement on his part to allow the Warner
silver bill to be reported back for action by
the Senate in advance Of its completed
consideration by the committee.
Judge Thurman, on behalf Of the com.
mittec, reported also that Herman was
alike inAexible in his determination to nd
here TO his vote in the Finance Com.
mittee in favor fpostpontng the action on
the silver bill till next winter.
Thurman and Mcdonald after stating
the details OF the efforts made the com.
niuce to bring about some harmonious
arrangement, proceeded to make brief
speeches Of n conciliatory nature, each
counseling that Bayard's resignation
should not be accepted, Mcdonald took
the ground also that the caucus should
drop the whole subject Of the silver bill.
Mr.. Garland thought his resignation
should be accepted and the bill brought
hnfNFn khn Snnn IN al naaanI
Mr.. Coke spoke at considerable length
and with muchearnestEess, ,poptelding that
Bayard's resignation ought to he accepted
and the Finance Committee 10 i'm
mediately reorganize and to ac-
cord with the views OF the
majority Of the Democratic Senators on
the silver question. He insisted that no
one man ought to be allowed to obstruCt
the will OF an overwhelming majority OF
Of his party in Congress. The bill should
be reported for the prompt action Of the
Senate, and If to obtain an opportunity
for action change in the membership OF
the committee be necessary that change
should be made at once. for s)oner or
Letter it would have to be made.
Gordon replied to Senator Coke in u
speech which is described on all hands as
one OF great iervor and eloquenc3. Ho
said the question before the caucus had
both personal and political aspect.
The acceptance Of Senator Bayard's resig.
nation would he in effect Gensure on
that gentleman, and the adoption Of the
Coke resolution would he similarly cop-
strued. He was, therefore, opposed to
the other proposition, although 'aS loyal to
the silver cause as any other living man
he would not consent to do anything to
strike down a man like Bayard. lie
knew 10 copld speak for every man In
Georgia, and he 6el;Cyaq be could speak
for every Southerner when he SAID shalt
translixing Bayard's heart would give a
peng to every Southern heart, for through.
out all their troubles and trials and op-
pressions since the Gloss c! the war Bay
ard had been the truest ot tbe trus. In
the next place, Us political matter, he
thougbtpotbingcould be gained, but much
could be lost, BY the proposed action. The
bare possibility OF sowing disss4stqn In tho
party now should be enough to make the
caucus pause and reflect, and upon the
reflection it would certainly be perceived
that there could be nothing gained by
striking blow which would reach not
RaValq along, but the great body Of true
and loyal Democrats who agreed with him
iii his financial views, and WHO Esre in
unison with The rest Of their party Oh
greater and more important questions In
this connection.
TUE REUUlLlo4Ys HELD pr AS bright AND
SHINING LI6HTV.
Mr.. Gordon counsoled his party friends
to take pattern by the Republicans who
were also divided on the financial Ques'
ton, but who stood in solid phalanx on
every other. Besides these considera-
tions he points out, there is no certainty
OF obtaining q majority vote for the final
passage OF the WSrnar bill even II it be
brought before the Senate, and that tbG
only result Of forcing action upon it might
prove to be a loading Of the Democratic
Senate with an alleged responsibility for
its defeat.
Mr.. Salisbury made lev reNarks com
plimentary to his colleague and IN opposi'
ton to the acceptance Of his resignation.
Mr.. Voorhees, then took the floor, but

Indications are very strong that the cau

ards resignation. aud It will also then b.
