THEY CAN'T REPEAL 1T.
Certainty that the sherman Law Cannot
be Wiped Out

be Wiped Out
Genera. Warner has made the following
statement:
"A thorough poll Of the silver forces esiab-
iishes the fact that the sherman law cannot
be repealed without substitute which will be
satisfactory TO the silver men,
This canvass of strength has been In prog
ress since the day after the issuance Of the
Presidents proclamation. II has beea pushed
actively by means of personal consultation,
mail and telegraphic communication. When
the canvass was begun the first effect OF the
ant,-silver blow was still felt, aud there was
manifest fear that the Sherman law would be
repealed. Gradually this fear gave way to
hope. and in turn this has been supplanted
by defiance
This statement of General Warner reflects
the sentiments OF the free silver men, and
there can be no doubt that within the past
tweaty-four hours they have gained renewed
confidence In the belief that the sherman act
cannot be repealed without giving tho silver
ties something equally as good, or better.
This hope Is In the Senate, aud the reasons
FOR their faith they express follows:
In that body are men who represent the
very lie, or death, of the white metal, men
who are able and earnest. and they boldly an
nounec that they will never give up the Sher-
man Law unless they can be eoneiliated with
a measure that is more friendly to silver.
With the determination OF such uen, # must
be plain that to repeal the present law will be
q difficult matter. One method might pre-
vail-the adoption OF the cloture In the upper
chamber. The gold men have already thrown
out this threat, but the silyerites meetit bold
ly. Over such proposition there could be
nothing less than the most Determined strug
gle.
In this connection the former fight, when
an effort was made 70 Introduce the eloture in
the Senate at the time the Force bill vas try
ing to be forced through by the Republicans,
becomes of the greatest importance. The
Democrats were In a delicate position, and
they finally enlisted the services of some Of
the free silver meu In their behalf, on what
was understood to have been an offensive aad
defensive alliance. Through the aid Of these
men the Force bill va. defeated. Among
those who aided the Southern Democrats sue
eessfully was Senator Stewart OF Nevada
Now the time has apparently arrived for the

pect that they will do 50. With such com
