Our Washington Letter.

The Republicans already here are
loath to believe that any member Of
the party can so far forget his duty
both to his party and his constitu,
ents as to remain away except in
case of absolute necessity during
any part of what is to be one Of the
most important short sessions Con-
gress ever held, and if any of them
should prove derelict they will never
be forgiven for it, and they shouldn't
be, either.
Senator Edmunds, who never
speaks lightly on any subject, says
the Senate will pass the Federal
Election bill.
it is hardly probable that any sill
yer legislation can be secured this
winter, Notwithstanding the large
number of influential Republicans
that stand ready to support free
coinage bill if the opportunity should
present itself. The majority of the
party leaders are of the opinion that
the silver law enacted at the last
session has not been sufficiently tried
to enable even those opposed to it to
say that it has not or will not ac-
complish its purpose. The silver
men have not, however, given up
hopes Of securing free coinage.
