| Senator Harris Was chosen to carry
the message to the Republicans. Imme-
diately afterwards hal. was called
upoDNn incipiont flibusterer, and the
long fight was practically at an end.
The Republican silver men conferred
among themselves briefly and agreed
! that it would be n waste OF time and in
every way foolish, because IN the end
futile, TO continue the fight.
The POpulists Rad agreed to abide By
the decision OF the Republicans. I'VE
are ready TO 90 on" said Senators PETER
and Kyle in unison to an Associated
Press representative, "and could have
continued the fight for some time with
a little assistance, but we arc willing to
quit when both OF the old parties do so.
The fight has gone on long enough and
has terminated in n way to show that
neither of these parties is friendly to
silver. We feel badly to have silver re-
ceive this setback, but politically we
view the situation with complacency.
We cannot mourn, for it is not our fu-
neral. We expect the result to make
millions OF votes for the Populists."
NO REPUBLICAN MEASURE.
The silver Republicans and repeal
Republicans made a mild but inefiect-
ual effort to unite forces before the
close by bringing Senators Sherman
and Teller together, but they soon
found that they could not unite upon q
measure that would stand any likeli-
hood OF receiving the necessary major
| ity to insure its passage The repeal
Republicans expressed themselves as
willing to support bill providing for
the purchase and coinage OF 1000, 600
ounces Of silver per month until jan
uary /, 1896, and also providing for the
issuance OF S200,000,0O0 worth OF bonds.
The silver Republicans did not consider
that this proposition offered them much
more IN the interest OF silver than the
Democratic compromise measure which
was knocked over yesterday.
Upon being asked this evening
whether he did not think it would have
been better in the interests OF silver for
the silver Republicans to accept the
Democratic compromise bill than to re-
fuse that and take in its stead uncondi-
tional repeal, Senator Teller said:
POSSIBLY it would have been, and
probably that would have been done ii
it had been in the power OF the silver
Republicans to control the matter.
Such was not the case, however. That
was distinctly Democratic measure
and the agreement for its support was
signed by the Democrats who did sign
it with the understanding that ii all
the Democratic senators did not attach
their names it was not to be binding
upon any OF them. Hence when eight
| Democratic senators refused to assent
to the compromise agreement it was no
longer binding upon those who had
signed. There would have been no
chance OF getting the bill through after
the executive had signifed its disap-
provaE of the bill. AS n matter Of fact
it would have been impossible TO hold
the silver Democrats. Some OF them
we're only too well pleased to have the
agreement declared of, for they did not
consider the compromise us desirable as
unconditional repeal"
One OF the leading advocates OF repeal
is quoted tonight as saying that he
will introduce free coinage bill upon
the assembling Of the regular session.
Senator Sherman told an Associated
Preas reporter that he was coutemplat.
ing the introduction of bond bill and
that it would probably incidentally
make some provision for the use OF sill
yer. Many other senators have tinan-
cial bills in contemplation. The out
look is indeed good that the regular
session will be flooded with financial
bills, and no one need be surprised ii
the SD Congress should develop re-
cord Of financial discussion almost as
important as the one now closing.
SOME VIEWS.
Several members OF the cabinet we're
seen tonight in regard to the silver sit
uation but refused to discuss the matter
saying that they preferred not to be
quoted.
Several senator's on both sides OF the
question were also interviewed and ex-
pressed themselves as follows:
Senator Palmer Dem. Ills.l: A vote
will probably be reached on the repeal
bill this week, at any rate no later than
next week.
Senator Bricc, (Dem., ohio,): A vote
will be had on Thursday or Friday OF
this week. The repeal bill is practical
ly passed now.
Senator Hill, Dem, New York;: 1
think the contest is at its end. The
indications are that the final vote will
be taken in few days.
Senator Cockgell (Dem., MOI: 1t is
impossible to tell. There are many
amendments which will be proposed.
Mr.. Harris Dem, Tenn.): am all at
sea, but believe that the end OF the fight
is near. l win not be party to OBJ
structiye tactics.
Mr.. Dubois, tRep., Idaho,): The sill
yer Democrats having seen fit to aban-
don tha fight l hardly think the silver
Republicans will feel justified in resort
ing to obstruction methods.
The silver men say very frankly that
they prefer unconditional repeal to any
such compromise as was agreed on
among the Democrats last Saturday.
