senators on both sides of the chamber
participated. They went over without
action, and will be laid before the Senate
tomorrow.
The Senate was addressed in set
speech on the financial question by Mr.
Dolph of Oregon, who contended that the
Sherman act was not the sole, or the prin-
cipal cause of the existing business de-
preston, and that no permanent i'm
provement could be expected so long as
the destruction of the present tariff sys-
TEN was apprehended or rfeared.
MANTLE's RIGHT TO A SEAT
At the conclusion of MIR. Dolph's re-
marks Mr., Hoar called up as the un-
finished business the question of the
right of Lee Mantle to a seat in the Sen
ate from the state of Montana, but said
he would not ask for its consideration un-
til he had consulted Senators on the other
SIDE. The Senate then, at 4:30 o'clock,
adjourned till tomorrow.
The democratic members of the Senate
will hold a caucus tomorrow morning for
the purpose, it is said, of distributing the
patronage of the body. tits also proba-
BILE that in view of the precipitation Of the
silver debate to-day, this subject viii
receive the earnest attention of the eau
Gus. After this caucus decides what the
republicans may have, the republicans
will hold another conference Thursday
and settle their appointments.
vARIoUsLY COMMENTED ON.
Washington, Aug S.-The Presidents S
message is variously remarked as a mat
ter of course. The Evening Star pub
lishes quite number of criticisms on it,
some good, some bad, and others indiffer-
ent. Senator German, for instance, con-
siders it to be clear cut and incisive,
while Mr.. Bland declares that it presents
the issue squarely between bimettalism
and single gold standard, and that if
the Presidents advice was followed it
would reduce the country to a single gold
standard, and that would be the end OF it.
Bourke Cochran, who will hereafter
lead the democrats in the cause, said that
1t was an admirable presentation of the
case, stating with great clearness to the
House the exact situa tion.
MIR. Moses of Georgia, is quoted as say
ing that there was something lacking in
it. He said that it was case of recon-
mendation, and he was a bad doctor
merely to undo what another bad doctor
hadidone, but giving no proper advice.
EXACTLY WHAT WAS EXPECTED.
The most general comment in the House
on the Presidents paper is that it is ex-
actly what was expected, both the gold
men and the silver men saying they had
not anticipated auytAlng ulHerenI, Inc
leaders in the House among the silver
men and the anti-silver men are straining
every nerve in an effort to avoid precip-
itating fight, the bitterness of which no
one can measure in anticipation and the
length Of which will be indefinite.
The introduction in the Senate to-day
of a large number of bills affecting the fl
nancial question has thoroughly launched
that problem in that chamber. 1t may
be expected that the financial question
will be the immediate subject of discus
sion over there. A morning paper states
to-day that the anti-silverites are six in a
majority in the Senate.
Senator Gordon is posted in the class
who will vote for repeal on condition,
while Senator Colquitt is quoted as
doubtful, although it is well known that
he has entertained pronounced free silver
views
