II am now Of the opinion that the Gil.
yer purchase clause Of the Sherman law
will be repealed Internationally. Al
near y ! can get 1t the situation, those
favoripg repeal have = majority not only
In the house but In the senate. II SCENE
70 me mere matter Of time until this
result is attained" says Senator 8. M.
White In dispatch In the San Francis
90 Examiner Of Tuesday.
He delivered himself Of these words
to an Examiner correspondent in the
rotunda of the capitol Tuesday after
noon. The statement came in reply to
adirect question. White was asked to
give decided opinion % TO the outcome
OF the present financial contest, and he
did It without mincing his words.
II want 1t understood, however, that
my views have not changed one iota
since my arrival in Washington. 1 am
still opposed to the unconditional repeal
OF the law, and am just a. earnest q BIZ
metallist as ever have been. l believe,
however, that unconditional repeal will
pass the house without very much
trouble, and I am also Of the opinion
that there will be very little delay in
reaching vote in the senate. AsI have
before stated, when this vote comes
think those in favor of unconditional
repeal will have majority.
II do not believe that the senators
opposed to unconditional repeal will
place any obstructions in tho way OF
bringing 1t about. 1t seems to me that
the only thing that can be done now is
to have full and fvee discussion of the
pending question, and if possible arrive
at some agreement, 30 that legislation
can be enacted to relieve the financial
situation, if it ia possible to do ao~
"The extreme silver men may think it
necessary for them to continue their
fight indefinitely in order TO prevent the
white metal being ignored entirely, but
do not think that they will find this
very polite course. This extraordinary
session OF congress WAS called to pses
some kind of relief legislation. Now, If |
tional repeal OF the Sherman silver pur- |
nhaee clause will give the required re-
lief, 1t seems to me that the only course
10 follow Is for every man to vote for his
convictions, no matter what the result
may be-"
Senator Hsnsbrough Of North Dakota
,aid today that he must now admit that
here was majority for repeal in both
houses. Not more than week ago In
IN interview Hansbrough emphatically
Itated that it would be impossible to
bring about unconditional repeal.
While he is supposed to be against
his action> it is now thought that he
will vote with the maioritv
Representative Bowers position on
he present fight is heartily indorsed by
lie constituents az the following breezy
eleersm We received today shows:
''The people Of Vanderbilt, an exclu-
i've gold camp, the largest in Southern
california. in mass meeting, hail with
