WASnISuToX, June ll.--There has been
u sudden halt called among the soit-money
Democrats who were rejoicing last night
that Bayard had takeu himself out Of the
way Of Warmers Silver Bill. The feeling
to-day amongst most OF them IL that the
loss Of Bayard, and probably split in
the purity, would bc an excessive bill to
pay for enacting the Silver Bill. Consent
to that bill, BayNrd says, he never will,
nor will he allow It to be iavorablv re-.

his resignation after its non.acceptance
BY the committee on Tuesday next, for it
is now known that the committee will not

Senators Thurman, Garland and Nc.
Donald, the Caucus Committee 10 confer
with Blyard, held meeting to-day, and
were unanimous upon the proposition
that llayard's resignation should not be
accepted: that no insult was intended by
the action Of the Caucus, and that this
threatened split in the party must be nip.

would withdraw his resignation the
whole matter would be dropped; the
Finance Committee would allow the silver
bill to sleep in committee until December,
and that the silver men would, BY their
consent to this arrangement, in effect, il
not in fact, humbly apologize to Senator
Bayard for their haSty aud ill.advised ac.

Cency on both sides and distribute advice
all around the board. Voorhees, and Beck
are credited with much responsibility for
inaugurating the crusade in behalf OF the
Silver Bill which offended Bayard, and
which he deemed insulting. They dis.
claim, however, any intention OF that sort,
and seeing what dangerous pass things
were coming to, they were among the first
to readily agree to Bayarls terms and
drop the matter till December. Voorhees,
is credited with an ambition to be Chair
man Of the Committee himself, but does
not wish 10 split the party to bring it about.
Mr.. Warner, the author ot the bill which
raised the rumpus, and came near inaugu-
rating split in the party at time when
it is most to their interest to stand tOgeth-

to have the bill pass the Senate this ses.
sion, no matter what Senator Bayard may
think Of it. Mr.. Warner is in very un.
compromising mood, and will not agree to
any sort OF arrangement that allows his
great bill to sleep til December. He says
the passage of the bill will be worth 10000
votes 10 the Democrats in Ohio this fall,
and the thing to do is TO get it before the
Senate and pass 1t. He does not fear n
split. He does not think Il split Gun hurt
anything in Ohio. The silver party is
growing there rapidly, and others must
fall into line il they keep with the major

General Ewing declines to say much
about the matter. He is an ardent advocate
OF the Warner bill, but at the same time
he wants Eastern and W estern Demo
Gratis to pull together as against the lsepub-
licans. He took no hand in the cumprO
mise measures to-day by which Mr..
Bayard was brought back to the fold and
silver men retained, but he is understood
to be gratied with any arrangement
looking to the restoration Of harmony.
Eastern Democrots, WHO support Bay
ard, say that the line has TO be drawn
somewhere, and this is as good u point as
any to stop tho rising soft and silver
money tide. The point With all seems to
be to get over next year without split,
but there is general disappointment
among Eastern members at the failure Of
the troops at-the-polls issue to superCede
the financial issue. In private they com
plain bitterly OF the action OF the Ohio
Democrats in thrusting the sott.money
side Of the question forward again, thus
loading down the Eastern Democracy
with burdens they cannot carry and sur
vive.
Senator Bayard said tonight that he
had made no compromise and should
make mono. lie simply agreed to with
draw his resignation upon condition that
the Warner bill be allowed to stop in
committee until the December session,
