that the senate will reach vote on
or before October /, and to that
end are concentrating their best ef-
forts aided by all the power of the
administration. The conditions,
however, do not seem to warrant
this conclusion: Every day that
passes chronicles events which en-
barass the consummation of the
gold bug conspiracy and the threat
of continuous sessions and that APP
plication of tests Of physical en-
durance have no terrors for the sill
yer men. In fact the silver advo-
Gates are entirely willing that this
scheme shall be attempted, feeling
confident that the sufferers will be
those who project it.
It is a singular fact, however,
that the New York goldbug press,
Democratic and Republican, attack
the proposition to repeal the federal
election law. But they arrive at
this conclusion by different course
ofargument. The World publishes
. double-leaded editorial under the
caution Of drop It," in which the
editor says: "Repeal the election
bill. Certainly, at the proper time.
But not before the repeal of the
Sherman act. Are not the Demo-
cratic majority in the senate by it's
melancholy impotence and the
Democratic minority, by its avowed
obstruction, doing enough to dis
credit the Democratic party and
disgusting the people without ask
ing assistance from the house?
Drop it. The declaration Of Sena-
tor Teller that Senator Voorhees,
would never be able to get q day
fixed for vote on his bill, is a dec-
laration that the minority will pre-
vent the majority from transacting
business. 1t is revolutionary. 1t
is time for the majority Of the sen.
ate to assert its just power"
Strange to relate, erring brother,
Whitelaw Ried, lata Republican
candidate for vice president, editor.
ializes against consideration of the
bill to repeal the federal election
law, alec heading his illumination,
'Drop It." Editor Reid says,
shat with one breath the Democ-
racy is begging that Republicans
rush to the rescue Of its president,
thrown down BY his own partisans,
and with tho next menacing their
highest and dearest principles and
daring them to fight without quar-.
tor. The party wants the Republi.
cans to pull its load up the hill
while it stands by and rains blows
in their faces. Where would Mr..
Cleveland be today as to his finan.
cial policy had the Republican mi
nority confined itself to mere OBJ
positionf Where would the coun-
try be in it's business affairs? The
Republicans have saved the honor
and authority of the Democratic
administration, and so far as the
silver. question affects it they Sc
cured the welfare of the country.
They stand ready to repeat in the
senate and to serve in the house.
But they are not dolts. The
Tucker bill must be dropped"

Republic, but now, thanks to Pres.
