SILVER Interests.

Senste was called to order on Mon
day, John Sherman Of OHIO wa
s3Uirming IN his seat because hi
saw looming close AZ hand th'
shadow OF club that would crust
out bis Presidential aspirations at I
single swipe. Stewart has blough
the silver issue squarely before tbs
county, aGd in suel, d shape tfaN
no man in the u. S. Senate car
shrink the responsibility.
Sherman was one Of the gold
bug lackeys who helped il the in
famous conspiracy to demonetize
silver, and now the Silver State has
sent man 20 the U. S. Senate who
: will mete ont vengeance 10 this
public shuffier in the interests Of an
outraged constituency. A Wash
ton dispatch thus describes the
scene:
John Sherman of Ohio fidgeted
nervouly about in his seat when
the Senate was called to order to-
day. A very serious look rested
| upon his countenance. He held
| frequent consultations with Sela-
tors Ednunds and Eoar. It was
very evident that something was
weighing upon the Senator's mind
which was causing him much IN
easiness.
Sherman had good cause to be
uneasy, and even terrified. Loom
ing up on the calender for early de-
bate was Stewards silver rider 10
the Bond Purchase bill. The de-
bate upon its merits meant certain
death to Sherman's Presidential
prospects in the loss OF the support
of the entire Pacific Coast and Colo
RADIO.
He could not, on his gold record,
vote for an amendment that would
remonetise silver, yet to vote
against it meant g. death-blow to his
Presidential, prospects, and there
was no way OF avoiding the imperd-
ing disaster.
Other Senator's IN the Republican
ranks whose glances turn loneingiy
toward the White House were in as
unpleasant Z frame OF mind as Sher-
man. They say the danger to their
party and to themselves. and felt
the importance of shelving the
obnoxious amendment if possible.
To the rear Of the chamber sat
tbs white haired representative CT
Nevada, observing his co.leangss
closely, and seemingly determined
that NJ trick should snatch away
the opportunity
stewart was flushed and evident
y laboEing under q great degree Of
excitement as the President Of tie
Senate announced the unfinished
business to be the silver amend
ment to the Bond bill
Sherman arose; he was plainly
nervous and spoke n a husky voice |
and in hating manner. He be-
gan to speak and asked tiias the |
amendment be referred 70 the Com
mittee on Finance.
Edmunds approached Stewart
and held hurried consultation.

that Stewards proposition carried /,
