CONGRESS will reconvene

CONGRESS will reconvene to-mor-
row. On the Resembling of the
Senate the Silver bill will be in order
land much speculation is INDUCED
in, as TO who will defeld tho Presi-
dents anti-silver views. The ablest
democratic speakers will follow the
lead of Mr. Beck in his advocacy Of q
continuance Of the purchase of silver
by the government, and the republi-
can side of the Senate will have to
champion the opposition. Such a
state OF affairs will present q siDgu-
lar spectacle. Republican Senators
defending democratic President, is
one of those strange events which
American politics only can produce.
