CONSPIRACY THAT WILL PEoB.
ABLY SUCCEED.

ABLY SUCCEED.
II is clear that the movement for the
repeal Of the national election iaE was
inspired By the deep purpose OF the South
ern Democrats TO wreck the movement
for ths repeal Of silver purchase The
house has fixed the 10Th Of october a. the
date OF the final vote on the Tucker bill
Ia the meantime the silver senators can
be relied upon 20 hang Up the purchase
repeal bin. There is nothing TO prevent
them. for there Is not the slightest chance
% consent 20 cioture in the senate The
silver senators can talk that proposition
or any other to death at will
When the Tucker bill reaches the senate
every Democrat will vote 10 proceed 70 lis
consideration and TO sideirack silver re-
peal. President Cleveland could not re-
strain the house from opening the issue.
and II wall be equally powerIess to hold
the Democratic senate against such a
movement. The silver repeal Democrats
in the house All voted for this Tucker bill
regardless of good faith or of the danger

Democrats are for free silver; the North

posed 10 President Cleveland have joined
hands with the Southern Democrats to
play election law repeal against silver re-
peal
Ii Is deliberate and crafty conspiracy
TO defeat the SILVER repeal bill, and is dan
gerously likely 10 succeed. When the
Tucker bill shall have passed the house
and appeared upon the table OF the senate
the silver senators viii move TO take 1t up

Every silver senator will vote for that mo-
ton. Indeed, two Of the silver Republi-
cans. Senators Teller and Cameron, of
Pennsylvanis. helped to defeat the Lodge

the place Of silver repeal as the business
before the senate. The Republicans are
poweriess TO prevent the triumph of this
question, and when the public really be-
gins to doubt the passage of the repeal bill

June. July and August Will be renewed
and We shall be in trouble again.
The leading Democratic bankers OF New
York city are exceedingly apprehensive
that this conspiracy TO smother the silver
repeal bin with the Federal elections repeal
bill may succeed. If this conspiracy does
succeed or gives promise of beng successful
1t Is believed that the Democracy will suffer
severe defeat, not only in Ohio, but in
New York state. The New York city cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Press quotes
leading New York Democrat as follows:
