peal was to be abandoned. When it
came to negotiating for terms with sill
yer. they announced their intention of
flockihg by themselves, and more than
that, declared that if compromise were
to be the outcome, they were ready for
a finish fight on that issue. This bclli
cose attitude of the Republicans dis
heartened the Democratic repealers and
compelled the compromisers to halt,
temporarily, at least.
Senator Voorhees,. chairman of the
finance committee and leader of the re-
peal forces, has been in no way con-
nected with the compromise movement.
He said today that he had no reason to
despair of the passage of the repeal bill
in Its original form. and thought it
QUITE RIDICULOUS
to conclude that in body of eighty
five men majority of fifteen could not
secure vote upon any given PROPOSE
ton. He said that he felt convinced
that the majority could hold out as long
as the minority. If" said he, ''we
cannot pass the bill this fall, we can
continue the effort during the winter,
and if we do not conclude the work in
the fall, winter and spring we can, like
Grant, fight it out on that line if it takes
all summer. If could force vote l
should, of course, do so, but there is no
rule whereby l can do so. L am salts
fed, however, that if we hold on with
sufficient persistence we will get it in
time"
There is especially objection from the
silver men to the proposition which
they offer, which proposes to provide
for the issuance of $500, 100000 worth of
8 per cent bonds. and it looks as if it
would be necessary to modify this feat
ure of the provision before any agree
ment can be reached on the lines indi-
Gated. Many of the silver men also say
that the 100000 ounces of silver which
it is provided in the tender of the re-
pealers shall be purchased, is too small,
and they seem inclined to take their
chances upon holding the present law
to making change which would be SO
injurious to the silYer-producing inter-
ests.
On the house side, the proposed move
ment to ally the silver and
TARIFF INTERESTS
to prevent adverse legislation in both
cases attracts little attention. Mr.. Outh-
waite. of Ohio, one of the Democratic
leaders, declares that If such cOmbina-
ton were to defeat legislation in the
name of tariff taxation, it would create
a tremendous outcry from the people
that would eventually result to the
detriment of both interests. lie looks
upon it as an attempt upon the part OF
the Republican interests to hold club
over the silver men in the senate, who
threaten, as Senator Wolcott declares,
to wreak their vengeance on protection,
unless the Eastern Republicans who
were supporting the silver repeal bill
withdrew their support. Gov. Sayres.
of Texas, chairman of appropriations,
says that such combination is Chin
erical. Great public questions like the
tariff ank silver, said he, must be sep
arately settled, each on its merits.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, one of the
Republican leaders, said he had given
the scheme some thought, and, while it
might be feasible as far as the Repub-
icans were concerned to solidify the
anti and free silver Republicans in the
defense of protection, it would not be
make effective because there was no
Democratic strength favorable to pro-
lection to be arrayed Oh the side of the
movement.
MIR. Dalzell, of Pittsburg, the Repub-
Iican representative who comes flom
the heart of the protected district, says
1t is wild scheEe that ought to be con-
demned. He does not think it has any
backing except on paper.
