THE SILVER PROBLEM.
An EHort Being Made to Bring Demo.
Gratis Together.

BOSTON, December 2S.-A Washington
special to the Transcript says: "a number
of prominent Democratic Representatives
among them Speaker Carlisle, have been
in conference for the last few days for the
purpose of devising some way to prevent
a confiiot between the President and Con.
gress on the silver question. They have
reached the conclusion that unless SONS
compromise is agreed upon between the
extreme men on both sides of the ques
tioa zss.saintfrmineble conflict with the ad
m1nistfatfon is Inevitable.
With view to prevent this, Speaker
Carlisle has had several interviews with
the President, whom he fluids well dis.
posed to treat the convictions of the ex.
tremists with fair consideration. The
Speaker, finding the President 30 well dis
posed, suggested that a compromise o1
some kind be agreed upon, to which the
President is said to have heartily assented
1t is now thought by many that after the
convening of Congress a call for caucus
of Democratic Senators and Representa-.
tives viii be issued for the purpose OF ad
justing this matter if possible. Among
the plans proposed is the passage of the
bill to limit the coinage of silver to two
hundred and fifty million and to leave
it discretionary with the President
whether that amount shall be in
creased or not. Another plan is to is
sue certificates OF ones, twcs and fives
based either on bullion or coined dollars il
is to conciliate silver men and give then
an opportunity Of preserving their pol tica
status with their constituents. Member
who have this matter in charge are hope
full that compromise of this kind will bt
