A Washington di-patch to the Chicago
Tribune. a friend of repeal, gives = -6olefui
view of the situation from the goldbug tand-
point.
Abraham Lincnln,'' said Senator CuIion
TO group of Illinoisaus this evening used
to have advisers who thought they could end
the war by going South and treating With the
rebels. He never opposed these Suggestions,
but would listen patiently to them. Their he
would say: Go and treat with them Il you
think anything can be done, but 70 must
DO 1t unbekEownst to me-
The Illinois senator was illustrating
silver situation on the eve of the battle wb
is intended 10 decide the fate Of uncondiiiq
repeal. Dan voorhees, is going into the
In command Of the repeal forces knQ
that everything has been arranged
compromise, but this compromise ID
'.unbeknowust" to him. President Cls-
has not Lincoln's tact nor Voorhees, sh
ne ss; and be is insisting on knowing thru
secretary Carlisle the things which it Our
70 be assumed he does not know.
There are a few hopeful persons in "
ington tonight who think that unconditional
hopeful persons believe the Democratic silver
senators who have agreed not to flibuster
will be kept right up to the front in main
tanning quorum, and that the silver sena-
tors will be beaten on the test of physical en-
durance. Old senators who have been
through many bitter party fight deride this
view, and say that by sunrise Thursday morn
ing the supposed majority for repeal Will
hay han he a1d MI nd
tie other Democratic senators who are man
aging the compromise movement can private
ly give their colleagues strong reasons for
sitting it out another night 1t Is probable
that bad temper and irritation will develop
on both sides of the chamber, and this may
help to carry the contest further than has
been planned.
But with due allowance for all these draw
backs the general belief is tha; by mex; sA,ur
day night compromise will have been reached.
German will then come forward to take the
credit of it, but he will be entitled to but lit
tie. The truth Is that while Germans evil
influence has worked against unconditional
repeal it has no, been in bis power to prevent
compromise.
There is a notion in some quarters that all
Voorhees,, as chairman of the finance ccrlEnit-
tee, has to do Wednesday Is to begin making
motions TO table tine various amendment, TO
the bill which bears hi. name, aud that in
this way vote on the original measure can
finally DC reached. This would imply con-
,inued right of recognition which does not
exist There has also been a delusioa that
when the Ginner hour comes Wednesday
night the silver senators will try to force an
adjournment. They have no such iuten-ion.
Teller or stewart, or whoever has the IGOR,
will so right on talking. As the evening
grows old the silverites will disappear with
the exception of two or three. Then they
will begin calling for 8 quorum, which will
require the constant presence of forty repeal
sepators- Then it is supposed that a. about
midnight some repeal senator who Is tired out
will move an adjournment This will proos-
bly, be voted down, a. will also other motions
TO the same effect. There even may be a call
of the Senate and the serCcant-at-arns be
sent to rout delinquent senators from their
beds sbout the time the cock crows. BuE in
the end the compromisers are sure aaJourn-
uent viii come, and when !; comes the light
for unconditional repeal Is ended.
