Voorhees, SILVER BILL.

Fortunately there is little danger of the
bill becoming a law-Philadelphia Press
Rep)
Having SCARED himself with the Presi-
dent Senator Voorhees, is now trying to
square himself with his constituents.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch CDem.)
Mr.. Cleveland would no more think of
signing such bill as Senator Voorhees,
has framed than of signing the free-coin-
age bill that Mr. Bland is preparing.-Bos-
ton Herald Qnd)
1t is SO unfortunate that Voorhees, can
not pour a little buncombe into Miss In
diana's ear without all the rest of the sis
terhood of States istening-Boston Tran
script Qnd. Rep)
We do not believe that the VOORHEES, bill
can be enacted. but it's serious discussion
can hardly fail to be disturbing to a busi-
ness situation already sufficiently unset
tled.-Boston Journal.
Senator Voorhees, silver bill and his
pension play can hardly mean less than
that the tall Hoosier is listening in dreams
to echoes of that good-W eStern-nlan shout.
Detroit Tribune (Rep.)
Mr.. Voorhees, resents the statement that
his financial bill is the Presidents meas
ure. We are glad to know that one bill
introduced by a Democrat has not first
passed the White HouSe.-ToledO Blade
(Rep)
The Voorhees, proposition is of the same
stripe as the Sherman bill. 1t is quite as
inimical to the true interests of silver. The
white metal must be recognized as money.
corder (Silverite)
1t is. however. unnecessary to follow Mr..
Voorhees, arguments in favor of his new
BILL as ii is only required to quote Voor-
hees versus Voorhees, in order to refute
every proposition he now advances.-Phila-
delphia Telegraph (Rep)
This Voorhees, bill is by no means all
that Western and Southern free coinage
men would like if they could get it, but
perhaps they may make up their minds
that half loaf is better than no bread at
aIl.-Hartford Courant Rep)
1t is probable that this contortion act is
his Woorhees's) own entirely OF course
he will be supported by the silverstes but
certainly there cannot be danger of the
passage OF any such scheme as this
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep)
Senator Voorhees, says that his prepos-
ferrous bill to substitute another silver
coinage bill for the so-called Sherman
miserable makeshift' is not an adminis-
tration measure. We should hope So
New York Mail and Express Rep)
1t is true that Mr.. Voorhees, promised
the silver men to do something for silver:
but he ought to have more imagination
than to propose as that something 81 per
cent. OF the policy against which ne con-
tended so vigorously in the extra session
New York World DEM
When the chosen leader of the professed
sound money Democrats makes himself re-
sponsibe for the introduction of legislation
like the Voorhees, bill the general public
may at least be permitted TO wonder what
the Democratic idea of sound money pol
icy really is.-Boston Advertiser (Rep)
Senator Voorhees, must be joking. Or
perhaps he working for repeal last
fall under a special contract which las
since expired. His silver bill is about as
