WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-[Special.]- J.
The talk of compromising the silver
question, increases every day. Yet it
is said that all the talk is useless, be-
cause the president has announced that
he will veto any compromise, and that
it is useless for congress to send him
any. This has seemed to many like as.
suming the prerogative of the legisla-
tive branch of the government; to
others, who sympathize with the pres
ident more, it has seemed a merely
foolish announcement because it is an
unnecessary one.
| The real reason why compromise is go
much talked of in the senate now, is
that the Democratic leaders like Cor
man do not see any other way to keep
the Democratic party of the west and
south together on the question; though.
on the other hand, it is insisted that
compromise will wreck the Democratic
party in the east. The senate is of
course thoroughly tired-as tired as the
country is-of the debate in which it is
now engaged; but, as have stated 30
many times, anything else than debate
is impossible SO long as debate is de-
sired by anybody. Senator Cameron's
statement made in his speech the other
day, that nothing could pass the senate
except some measure which might be
agreed upon with practical unanimity
is as true now as it was then, and many
of the leading Democrats who realize in
what bad odor the majority of the SEN
ate stays so long as debate continues,
believe in sending some measure of
some kind or sther to the president, so
that the responsibility may be his if it
should become law. They say that
they will legfslate according to their
best information and patriotism, and
that the president may sign or veto ac-
cording to his.
! Friends of the administration have
made some mistakes. What seemed
like an inspired article appeared in a
New York paper the other day and be-
rated Senator German for trimming, as
it alleged, between the two parties. and
being, if not the real cause of the delay,
the real cause of the detention. If the
intention of this article was to smoke
out the Maryland senator, it had exact
ly the opposite effect, for he said soon
after he saw the article that if the pres
ident did not like the efforts of Mr..
German and others for repeal. he might
send to the senate an advocate who would
do better; and it is related that Senator
German threatened to take his family
and 90 to the worlds fair for two OF
three weeks.
The attitude of many administration
papers towards Senator Stewart, too
has been anything but amiable, and in
consequence of this, the senator from
Nevada has been all the more bitter
Mr., Stewart is very methodical about
his opposition to the repeal bill. HI
rises early, bathes, exercises, ane
makes dash for the congressional re
cord of the previous day. He car
hardly eat for his eagerness to 60 owe
the debate word by word, and as b,
does SO he jots down memoranda O
points-errors, as he calls them-whicl
need to be replied to. He finds on al
average halI dozen points of this kint
each day, and as each one can easil.
= require fifteen or twenty minutes for al
answer, the senator from Nevada cal
readily make a speech OF two or thre
hours any day. He says it is pre-
posterous to allow lawyer to make
j. ten days speech on the seal question
J which interests only the rich, while b
should be criticised for making thirt
days speech on the silver question
which interests everybody, poor as we
as rich.
The evidence given before the way
and means committee will be used eS
tensivelyin the Ohio campaign, where
of course, tariff will be the chief issue
and where with Mckinley on the on
side, and author of the robber baro
plank on the other, tariff for protectio
p and tariff for revenue only ought
have good, clean set-to. Natural
Major Mckinley counts upon re-elet
ton, and great many of his friends
Ohio, counting upon that, believe b
will be the logical Republican cand
\. date for president in 1896. This is
