Senator Daniel told The GAZETTE S
correspondent this morning the reason
he was not present n the last call for q
quorum last night, ai,er promising the
Richmond aud Alexandria delegations
who called on him yesterday that he
would be there, was the fact that he had
asked Mr.. Stewart, the leader of the
silve?ites, if that call was to be made,
and had been informed by him that it
would not be. Besides, +" said the SEN
ator, II had been Oh duty constantly
thirty-six hours and thought that long
enough to assist people to pass a
bill TO which l am opposed"
No matter what Senator VOORHEES, or
Secretary Carlisle, or any body else, may
say to the contrary, no bill for the lii
conditional repeal Of the silver act can
pass this Congress, and many of the
Senators who would lave voted for it
had vote been reached, arc glad that
they were not compel!elt to dos And,
what is also true, several of the real
democratic friends of the bill in the
Senate find some store of comfort in
the fact that the defeat is generally
considered as a condemnation of the
President by his owu party. The de-
feat also shows that no reliance
can lie placed upon republican sup
port Of democratic measures, for the
republican Senators who promised to
support the bill deserted al.,.ozt IL a
body. What will be the outcome is

At the Treasury Department to-day the
action of the Senator on the repeal bill was al
most the sole topic of discussion. Among
those near Secretary Carlisle the feeling was
expressed that although the repeal bill has re-
ceivcd "hlack eye it was by no means
killed, aud the fight would be continued
The administration, it was slid, had nothing
to offer. 1t was repeal or no repeal The bill
was still! before the Senate, had the right Of
way. and would continue to hold its present
position until the Senate either voted on it or
displaced it with other bills.I
The President. when he drove in from
Woodlcy IN the drilling ain of the early
morning, received his first news of the def
nite results Of the Senate's continuous all
nlght S, sson, but information previously re-
ceTcd from Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont
who had kept in close touch with Senator'S,
had forcshadowcd the probable outcome of the
tesS of endurance. The policy recommended
by the administration was set out i'll the Pres
