The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-10-11
Two Propositions.

What Is considered the ultimatum Of
the repealers has not yet been Off
cially announced, but Il contains two
propositions:
l. The purchase Of 100000 ounces Of
silver per month for an indefinite period.
,. The bond proposition to sell three
fifties or three-thirties to the amount Of
500, 900 900.
The administration men make this, be-
lieving that it will be adopted. OF course
they rely upon the republicans to assist
IN carrying it through, which is the
meaning of the bond proposition.
The demand for continuous sessions is
only side play and Thursday is the
time set for disposing Of the prime issue.
In anticipation of the Voorhees, mo-
ton for continuous sessions, Senator
Dubois has been fattening himself TO
play the watchdog role and demand the
presence Of a quorum. He considers
that it would be question of endur-
ance which he might easily handle and
he expressed a determination to allow
none Of the senators to sleep in the lob
bies or remain out Of their seats any
length of time during his watch.
The fact that Senator Mcpherson, one
of the administration leaders, is prepar-
ing the compromise measure along these
lines shows that there is a probability
that the president will agree to it.
Mr.. CarIIsIe's Conferences.
Secretary Carlisle's lengthy conference
with the president today is considered
especially significant.
A report was soon set IN circulation
that he had been sent as the presidents
personal and official representative to
arrange the terms of an agreement with
the opposing forces Of the democratic
ranks in the senate and there were sena.-
tors ready TO name the terms which he
had offered. Inquiry, however. devel-
oped the fact that they were merely
dealing in surmises. The purpose Of the
senator's visit seems to have been just
the opposite Of that attributed TO him
by the majority.
Another Interpretation.
Senator Vance told a representative Of
the Associated Press that Mr.. Carlisle
had come TO the capitol for the purpose
of preventing a compromise, and Sena-
tor Voorhees, virtually confirmed this
statement After his conference with
Mr.. Carlisle he said 70 the Associated
Press representative that the admins
tration forces had no compromise to
suggest or ask and that they were still
determined 10 make the fight on the old
lines; that the contest would continue
for the first three days of next week as
it had up TO date.
1t would seem. therefore, that IL there
is to be compromise it cannot come UNI
til after the night session test is tried.
II is but fair TO say that there are very
few Of the repeal senators as sanguine
OF the success of the night sessions or of
the success of the bill In its present shape
as is Mr.. Voorhees,. A large majority OF
the senators assert that the bill cannot
be passed except in a modified form.
Senator Henderson makes the assertion
that II no compromise is reached a recess
Of the senate until December will be nee
essary, which would virtually mean the
abandonment Of the bill.
Notes.

as internal revenue collector for the
sixth district Of Indiana.

nection with the opening OF the Chero-
kee strip will be investigated.
