GAINING STRENGTH.

The opponents Of free coinage OF
silver in the east are becoming alarmed
at the probable downfall OF the gold
bugs by the people. A special dis
patch from Washington to the Salt
Lake Tribune says: GAN the eastern
papers are now devoting increased at
tention TO the prospective silver legis-
lation. The handwriting on the wall
is too plain 10 be ignored. Liberal
legislation in the interest OF silver is
assured. Whether or not imme diate
free coinage will be insisted on and
carried by the ultra-silyer men is now
the only question.
"Both the New York Tribune and
the Philadelphia Ledger inform their
readers Of the certainties OF the future,
aud predict the triumph of silver.
The former journal to-day devotes a
column TO show the differences be-
tween the Senate and House bills, and
suggests that the Senate Is likely 70
adopt the most liberal OF the two
measures. The Ledger sounds note
OF alarm at the rapid growth of the
free coinage sentiment, and warns the
Republicans that under the House
bin, rs it stands, free coinage will
naturally come from the advanced
price OF silver bullion. At the sam,
time, il notes the boasts Of certain
Senators that immediate free coinag,
is to-day possibility, and states tina
il such bill passes, which is far from
unlikely, the President might be com
PEELED TO veto it. Those better in
formed know better. President liar
rison is urging strongly immediate
legislation TO rehabilitate silver an'
will not nullify the action of Congress
whatever it may be-"
