WYOMING SENATOR'S TO
BLAME

ate, says the Salt Lake Tribune 1t was
becaupe the senators from Wyoming and
Dakota fell down, there was not enough
senators who would vo for any silver
bill to carry It through the senate, except
1t was for unlimited coinage. He tried
TO limit the coinage TO United States
silver, but nearly every one Of the Demo
Gratis refused TO support such a measure.
The Dakotp men refused to support any
silver measure ard the Wyoming senators
are ont AMI out goldites.
The senator makes the matter entirely
clear IN a letter Just received from him.
1t gives a gloomy outlook for silver, not
only Tor this winter, but for two years to
come
The letter Is as fellows.

promise aud bad a proposition printed.

American product and a mint charge on
foreign silver equal to the difference be-
tween the London price Of silver and the
coinage value thereofiu the United States.
l made an onJIt to obtain Republican
votes for it. but was unable TO get a single
additional vote on the Republican side
which could not he obtained for free
coinage. l her tried to persuade the
Democrats to accept it. The majority of
them consen'eu 10 90 So ahu MI.
German introduced it with the under
standing that if 1t divided the Democratic
party be would withdraw it. 1t was soon
sscertaiucd that ii would lose quite a large
number OF votes on the Democratic side
and gain none on the Republican side,
and at my request it was Withdrawn. The
