SILVER MEN DESERVING.
1t Has Caused the Stsyers to Be-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-'rhe action Of
Senator q r.on OF Georgia in giving his
adhesion 10 tho ndni isiration policy aud
the support OF the two senators from
Louisiana, together with other successful
proselyting, has rallcn the free silver
Democrats like Cockrell. Vest, Vance,
Harris and Daniels aud others. This Is
one of the conditions which the manag-
Ing committee and the friends of the ad-
ministraton wished to avoid. The course
OF the discussion is gratifying to the MEM
bers OF the Republican silver wing, like
Teller, Jones, Wolcott aud Stewart, who
can see If they can involve the Democrats
In controversy among themselves that
the result VIII redoInd TO their benefit.
The attltui OF We two senators from
Missouri, Cocksell and Vest, has caused
more surprise To The president and Secre-
tary Carlisle than that of any other Demo
cratic senators. The state of Missouri has
been treated with exceptional considera-
tiou by the administration. Both senators
have. hitherto. In return manifested at all
times an earliest desire to assist in carry
ing out its policy on all leading questions
Iustead OF adhering to this idea, however,
they have now gone out of their way to
arragn the president on his financial
policy There are other Democratic sena-
tors who are disposed to follow In the same
line. II this hostile spirit Is allowed to in
crease 1t may overturn all the calculations
OF the managing committee and friends OF
the administration.
voorhees, Favors Conservatism.
Senator Voorhees,. howeveS believes in
pursuing a very conservative course He
does not intend to antagonze the desire OF
the silver senator's to speak freely and
fully on the subject rs long as they have
anything to say; nor does he intend to
allow adjournments OF the senate from
day TO day after single speech on the
pretext of nos being prepared to continue
the debate, when the real object in to pro-
long discussion and delay action on the
bill. The change In hour Of meeting to
IL o'clock Is for the purpose of hurrying
up the debate and TO secure, II possible, an
early vote. On this line the senator pro-
poses to mold regular sessions every day
for six days in the week and to be confined
to the bill for the repeal Of the silver
purchasing act. DO extraneous legisla-
tion will be permitted to interpose By
this course he thinks the general debate
should close by the 20th of the present
month.
When the question becomes one of OBJ
struction and dilatory tactics, Senator
Voorhees, says there will be a conference
OF the friends OF this measure, and some
decision reached which will bring the
question to vote. The chairman Of the
finance committee is preparing the sena.
tors for this stage In the proceedings by
keeping them ia mind of his purpose II
this obstructive oratory is persisted In be-
yond reasonable limits, there has been
some talk among the friends of the ad-
ministration on the subject of adopting
some method which will compel vote.
They are aware that the chairman of the
committee on rules, Senator Blackburn,
Is opposed to any heroic treatment of this
character, and will refuse to call his COM
mittee together to consider subject of
this kind While he is a strong advocate
of silver and will vote against repeal, he
will not enter into combine to frustrate
the will Of the majority. His colleague,
Senator Lindsay, Is a supporter Of the pol
Icy of the administration, and Is exerting
himself among his colleagues In the south
and southwest to bring about early action.
