How the Vote Will Stand in
Congress.
DEMOCRATS FOR FREE COINAGE
But the Senate Will Fall Short Four Votes to
Overcome the Presidents
Veto of it.

A careful poll of the House and Senate OF
Congress on the silver question has been taken
and transmitted TO THE HERALD by wire and is
given herewith. In the transmission, however,
the figures relating to the House vote have been
so mixed as TO render them useless. Still, the
total is published. In the Senate the vote is
given in detail and it shows first, that the Dem
ocrats are almost unit for the measure;
second, that the majority in favor Of it is very
large, but that it still lacks four votes of the
requisite two-thirds with which to overcome
the Presidents veto

THE SENATE IS AGAINST FREE SILVER
1t is Republican by majority of Q, not large
enough to prevent the first passage OF free
coinage or tariff bill, but quite enough TO
make certain the defeat OF any bill vetoed by
the President.
THE two subjects OF transcendent import
ance before the new Congress are the tariff and
silver. Scores Of bills concerning both will be
introduced. The final passage OF any tariff bill

possible by the leaders of either party, but the
