WASHINGTON. Feb. l9.-The anti
silver men are becoming very uneasy
over the suspense. They are now
trying to get up a Democratic caucus
for the purpose Of discussing whether
or not silver shall be laid aside for
this session. The silver men are
happy in the ratio of the dependency
OF the anti-silver men. Some of them
early in the day signed the call for the
caucus but this evening Withdrew
their names from the call II looks
now as if the silver men would not 90
into a caucus at all. They say that
they have enough signatures 10 their
petition 10 the committee on rules TO
set n day and hour for the vote on the
question TO have il done and that they
have the assurance that the committee
will grant their request. They have
ceased TO ask any more persons 10
sign the petition. They have become
so bold and confident that they init
mate that even il the committee
should disappoint them, and thereby
the anti-silver men could hllibuster
against their bill when it comes up to
he extent OF preventing vote, they
are in a position to retaliate and pre-
vent anything being done till their
measure should get fair show.
