COMPROMISE
An eastern dispatch says


The air about the senate wing Of tie
capitol IL full Of rnmors Of compromise
upon the financial question, bnt it is i'm
possible 10 trace mott Of these to any source
which appears authoritative. or which
indicates any organized movement Of
sufficient force 20 produce results. One
given out with the greatest attention 10
details, which bears slight promise Of
fruition in case it should prove true, Is to
the effect that German IS moving in the
direction Of compromise. It il reported
that he has been 10 the executive mansion
with suggestion to the effect thai il would
be impcssible'to secure actlcn on The part
OF the senate until Tie repeal forces shall
nave agreed to some compromise whicis tie
silver men viii accept Gornan's former
friend1hip for the white metal and the fac.
that be Is personally on good terms with
the senators from the silver states, together
with the fact that he has long been cne Of
the democratic Ieaders in the senate. caused
this report to appear very plaDsable. not
withssanding the many circumstances
which seemed to confirm tie report. Cor
man denied The story in explicit terms, and
assured the questioner the report va
utterly wiihou, foundation. "we shall. $
he said, fight this thing out to finish,
and when vote Is taken it win be upon the
proposition Of unconditional repeal"
IL Is also given out that Faulkner and
Lindsay are working In the interest Of
coupromise. Lindsay said be had no
measure Of compromise to ofer as reported,
bat favored the continued use of silver. He
intimated he would support fair eornpro-
mise. Faulkner did not hesitate 10 say TO
the senators that. while If forced TO do 20
he would vote for unconditional repeal. be
should frxt iry TO git through an amend
ment to the pending bill, providing for the
coinage Of 100000 silver dollars PER
month until the silver In circulation shall
reach SS00, ,0O0. 600. and for the retirement
Of all bills Of denou1in ations belox so.
The repeal leaders ridicule the idea Of
compromise. but ara no longer 50 confident
Of rushing the bill TO rapid conclusion.
The silver men declare they can at any
time gel safe majority On a compromise
On the line Of Faulkner's proposition. The
chief obstacle 10 the E4y Of compromise
appears to be the difficulty Of formulating
= proposition upon which the southern and
western. and repeal democrats can unite.
There Is little doubt compromise. which.
while repeating the Sherman al, st the
same time repealed the 10 per cent lax On
the state hank issues. would be acceptable
to the southern democratic senators. but
the western silver senators, would ocDbtEess
