Mr.. Sherman stated that he was
paired with i:s colleague, NJ. Payne,
but rs he understood that Mr..
Pyane would vote for the adoption
of the conference report he (Sher
maO felt at liberty to vote. Mr..
Payne, therefore, is the only demo-
crat known to be in favor of the ad-
ministration silver policy and this is
rather odd inasmuch as he voted last
month for Plumb's free coinage
amendment.
The democrats to-day further en-
phasized their opposition to the bill
that is about to become law. They
made it decidedly uncomfortable for
the republicans who have been such
pronounced free coinage advocates,
but who swallowed the measure pre-
pared to order by Senator Sherman
and which is accepted by all repub-
icans because they are afraid q free
coinage bill would be vetoed by
President Harrison.
June II the vote in the senate on
Senator Plumb free coinage amend
ment was 43 ayes against 54 nays.
On the vote to-day all against the
conference bill were democrats while
every affirmative vote was republ-
can. The republicans who original
ly voted for free coinage but who
to, day voted for the conference bill
were Senators Blair, Ingalls,, Jones
of Nevada, Manderson, Mitchell,
Moody, Plumb, Power, Sanders,
Squire, Stewart and Wolcott, Tel
Ter being paired.
