WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Westem men,
bers of congress who have returned here
from their holiday vacation, say the pros
poets are poor for any anti-silver legislation
in the house this session. Many of them
having interviewed their constituents while
at home, come back more determined than
ever to resist any interference with the
dollar of the daddies. Anti-silver members
who fear the result of continued coinage of
silver say the only thing to do now is to
wait until the expectation of gold begins in
earnest and let the house learn its error
by bitter experience. The question bids
fair to lead very soon to an interesting dis
cussion, to say the least, in the house, and
one that will engender bad feeling between
the president and some Democratic MEM
