WIZ BE Taken Tomorrow Important
Amendments to BE Voted on First, Then
Comes the Repeal BIZ.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The repealers
in the Senate are rejoicing again to
day over the great victory.
Those who have been to the front at
all times to fight for unconditional
repeal are to-day the recipients of con-
gratulatory kilograms from their con-
stituents Senators Voorhees,, Hill and
Palmer especially received numerous
kilograms thanking them for their
uuremitting labors in the cause of
repeal
There is no disposition of the repeal
ers to "crow" and the silver Senators are
being treated with the greatest courtesy.
In some quarters the fear is expressed |
that the suddenness of yesterdays col
lapse may be followed by some kind of a
reaction. Greater surprises have oc-
CURED during the last week. This fear |
would appear to be not well grounded |
and the program, rs It now reads. is that |
vote is to be taken to morrow.
Senators Jones, Teller and Stewart will |
probably resume their speeches TO day |
and then ask leave to print all they -de
sire to say and the end will be reached. |
Several Of. the Popullsts are in an ugly
mood this morning, but their friends
have advised them not to do anything
that would appear ridiculous and little
or no tlibustering is expected on their
part.
The first vote will be upon Senator
PETERS amendment reviewing the free
? coinage act of 1887 and there will come
dozen or more other amendments of a
similar character aud lastly the repeal
bill
