The Silver Question
AN INFORMAL COMPROMISE SAID TO HAVE REEN

An lNFORMAL COMPROMISE SAID TO HAVE BEEN
REACHED.
The New York Herald thinks it has discov.
cred the real cause of Secretary Manning's
visits to Mr.. Tilden at Greystone. The question
discussed ut these conferences, according to the
Herald was not the distribution Of offices but
the coinage of silver. A Wall street man, who
is represented as in the confidence of Secretary
Manning, says the latter has given much study
to the silver question, and besides discussing it
with Mr.. Tildcn had conferences with New
York bankers and fnanciers. He has, this gem
tleman declares, "1orced from the advanced
legislation at the next session of Congress that
appears TO have the Endorsement OF Mr. Tilden
and leading New York bankers. The interme.
diary in these negotiations has been General A.
J.Warner, the Ohio Congressman" Gen. Warner
Is said to have submitted silver bin "by which
the coinage will be suspended, but providing
that silver certificates shall continue to he
ness required for coinage at its market or quoted
value Oh the date OF deposit. This proposition
of Gen. Warmers was received by Mr. Manning
and 1t Is understood that the Secretary sub
mitted 1t to Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Tilden, as Under
stand it, has expressed a belief that as tenta-
tive measure 1t is the best solution of the present
silver problem. In the proposed bill no attempt
Is to be made to retain any ratio between gold
and silver, that being Lett open to future settle

Gen. Warner last night said that there had

mercial circles, This scheme is, according to

Secretary Bayard's Contribution to

A Sontributiou to political history was made
by Mr. Bayard In his address at the Missouri
University on Thursday. He said that the
election OF NJ. Jefferson to the presidency in
1900 was accomplished through the influence
nd advice Of Alexander Hamilton, his life
long antagupist. There had been NO choice by
the people, And the question went to the House
Of Representatives, where tho voting was lin
tied 70 the twoA highest candidates, Mr.. Jeffer-
son end Aaron Burr. There were nfteen states
at the umes each voting q unit, and each
counting equally; and finally the election
tupned QR0n the vote of Delaware, which was
held by Nr. Bayard's grandfather,a o lederalist.
He sought the advice or Hamilton, who told
him that between Jefferson and Burr It was
his duty to vote for Jefferson, and thus the first
democratic President was elected by federal
list vote, inspired and cOunseIled BY the great
ederalist leader.
