Al the senate managers, the long promised

week. possibly on Tuesday. but perhaps not

have been received from a sufficient number

Las and German are confident that after a

nav will be able to clear the way for decided

4 The programme arranged contem plates q
4 srotracted session to exhaust speechmaking
and then the commencement Of voting upon
amendments as fast as they are offered with
ont allowing debate upon them. The repeal
| managers claim that they have majority OF
at least five that can be depended uron to vote
down every amendment aud In order to pre-
vent the silver Senators from delaying the vote
by taking 1t is intended to move. II necessary.
TO Law each amendment on the table. which
motion is not debatable.
The managers OF the repeal forces give sew
sral good reasons why they think they are
now In q position to force the fighting and
strong enough to win. They say that there is
absolutely no hope OF the silver men arrang-
ing q compromise upon which they can oil
agree, and claim that the repealers have tho
upper hand OF the fight by reason OF having
the affirmative on all questions instead OF
being continually on the defensive. They OK
pect to make their fight Just as the fight was
made in the House. and to win by first
disposing OF all amendments. and thus demon
strating that an agreement on the part Of the
opposition is impossible. They then expect
to see their forces increased considerably. and
the Repeal bill adopted without amendment
by a good-sized majority. They do not know
how many days and nights will bo required
to demonstrate that no compromise is pos
sibe. but knowing that they have q majority
Of the Senate. they profess to be absolutely
confident Of SUCCESS. and say that they will be
very much disappointed and surprised IL o
vote Is not reached by the end OF next week.
The anti-repeal men have. OF course. been
made aware unofflcially OF the programme
that Is being arranged for their defeat, and
they are preparing to meet It with that same
confidence OF success that they have displayed
all during the fight The fair-minded ones
among them admit that it Is probably true that
compromise satisfactory to them cannot be
arranged. but they laugh at the idea that they
can be prevented from talking against the bill
and the amendments to their hearts content.
They point the fact. moreover. which is appre-
cisted very fully by the managers OF the repeal
forces, that in order to carry out their plan Of
defeating all proposed amendments and fore
ing the bill to vote 1t will be necessary for
the rspealers to have a quorum present every
moment during the fight. This the silver mon
think they will be unable to do. and they also
think that a continuous protracted session Of
the Senate day and night for any purpose Is
out Of the question. They profess to believe
, that the Administration men know they are
defeated, and are merely preparing to play a
bluff for the purpose Of convincing tho Presi-
dent that vote on the Repeal bill is impossi-
bic. With each side. therefore. SO we'll pre-
paredfor battle and SO entirely confident Of
success. 1t looks as II there is a very stubborn
fight ahead In the Senate next week.
