WASHINGTON
Democratic Senatorial Caucus.

WASHINGTON, j Juue 9.-The Democratic
Senators assembled in caucus soon after
adjournment this afternoon, and remained |
in private consultation nearly three hours |
The caucus was called at the instance of
friends CT the Warner silver bill, with a |
view to convincing their colleagues that in |
party point Of view it would be desirable |
to procure final action upon that measure
by the Senate during the present session. !
As a means to that end it was suggested
that the Democratic members of the FL
nance Committee should agree to report
back the bill Immediately without recon-
mendati0n, or, that the otherwise d0mi-
naut party in the Senate should unitedly
support Coke $ pending resolution, which
provides for bringing the bill forthwith
before the Senate By discharglHg the com
mittee from It's further consideration. 1t
was not proposed to make the caucus
measure, except to the extent OF insuTing
prompt action upon it, but the discussion
to day deyoived such immovable opposi
! ton to the bill on the part of some Sena-
| tors, and such irreconcilabie differences OF
| opinion as to the question of expedIency
| involved, that no proposition whatever was
pushed to 4 vote, and consequently the
caucus was adjourned without taking any
action, and without its members being any
nearer agreement than when they assem-
blcd IL favor 81 the bill were Senators
| Thurman, Beck, Voorhees,, Garland,
Maxey, Hereford, Coke and Pendleton;
against it, Senators Bayard, .4aton and
Herman. Tne merits of the bill were de-
bated incidentally, there being no hope Of
changing opinions concerning them, but
: the question of the probable effect OF lis
passage by the Senate, in connection with
It's anticipated veto by the President, vas
the subject of d very animated discussion
r On one hand it was argued that the efeo
would be to give increased strength TO thu
= Democracy in the west, and especially il
l the coming Ohio contest. On the othe,
: hand it was insisted that aside from tht
doubt whether the bill would obtain ma
Iilrity vote in the Senate, its passage b.
