Carefully Prepared Speech
on the Silver Question
To Receive Our
MarkSmen.
special to The Jersev eta yeys.

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. 4. 1S93.-Sena-
tor Mcpherson came TO the Capitol yes.
terday, with a roll Of manuscript in his
hand. 1t was the copy Of a set speech
which he at first intended TO deliver. yes
terday. but which he f1ually concluded
to postpone until today. For some tim Q
after the silver debate begun. Mr.. Nc
Pherson held to his original determine
lion not to participate at any
length In the debate. but SO
many false and misleading staten snts
have been made that he has changed his
mind aud proposes to refute. with a con>
Vincing array Of arguments aud figures,
the assertions made by the friends OF
silver. In addition to this. there are a
number OF Senators. formerly advocates
or Tree coinage and now converted to re-
peal. who are DESTROYS Of SUCH suppor6 as
MI. McPherson's speech will be certain
te give them.
From a physical point of view. the
Senator Is In no condtiou for speech
making. He has. been lndisposed for
some time and his Throat especially Is in
"a condition. so much so that, during his
tilt with Senator Teller last Thursday, his
voice !gave way more than once. He will,
therefore, be compelled TO exercise CON
siderable care when he essays TO talk
Today. and his effort is really In an5agou-
ism TO the advice Of his personal frie ids.
MI. Mcpherson, However, believes that
ne can brush away a great many of the
falsehoods which have thus far been
allowed TO rest undisturbsd.
Mr.. Mcpherson has QpaE more than
usual care ieto the p operation of ii,
spe4ch. He has accumulated a laig,
Quantity OF important statistics showi q
the necessity for tbs pas tge of the le.
peal bill and tina absurd tY of tree c5in-
age Of s liver, and it is expected that his
a idress will be one OF the 40 1t couvinc-
Ing Arguments for soun1 money ever
delivered in the Senate.
DR.. ENGLISH IN UNPLEASANT MOOD.
Since the action of the House in abol-
ishing The clerk of tie Committee on
Alcoholic Liquor Traffic, of which DR..
English, the Newark Congressman is
Chairman, the doctor has besu In a state
of rebellion. He has determined to
receive no bills sent to him by the clerk,
AID he viii not cali any meetings of his
committee.
Il have no clssk to take the minutes of
a meeting" says DR.. English, land,
therefore, how Can any session be held.
Nor can l be expected to keep track of
any bills or resolutions which may be re
ferred TO my committee. II the House
expects the com ntttee to do any work it
will have to provide the necessary assist
ance.n
1t looks, therefore, as II there will be no
nearing upon the alcoholic liquor traffic
or any legislation affecting this subject
as long as DIR. English IL Chairman.
