i,u an agreement from the Democrats that

hut il is only within the past day or two that
the radicals have been brought into line. Now
mis- understood that the Democrats havo come
toaunsnimous and amicnble agreement not

bill. Senator German. It is understood. has
assurances also that on the Dem ocratic side OF
the cham Der there is . majority OF two pledged

these Senators have undoubtedly been won

shcrpan act will be followed by financial Leg
'is,st.on satisfactory, In measure at least. to
the more conservative of the Dem cratic silver
Senators. Be that as 1t may. the repeal man
AYERS no claim that the Democrats are unani-
nous in opposition to fllibustering and that
there will be O majority OF two on that side Of
the chamber In favor Of repeal.
Senator Aldricb. who 10 the parliam sntnry
"steerer" on the Republican side in this sill
yer fight. however strongly he may deny Mr..
golcott's soft impeachment, has reason to be-
leye that there are twenty seven Republican
senator's who can be relied upon to vote for
repeal. SO that there will be in the neighbour
hood Of fifty votes cast for repeal out Of total
OF eighty-fve members OF the Senate. The
Republican managers claim that there has
been no change In the Republican strength for
repeal during the past few weeks. and that it
will not be diminished by q single vote from
now until the end Of the contest.
Feeling confident. therefore. that they can
absolutely rely upon their own party not to
ulibustsr. and being sure Of majority Of two
on vote for unconditional repeal. the Demo-
cratic managers are preparing to force that
vote with the least possible delay. Senator
Gorman's Indignation against Senator Wolcott
sesterday was due in o large measure to the
fact that the Colorado Senator. by publicly ex-
posing the nature OF the conferences that were
being held interfered with the plans Of Mr..
Aldrich and Mr.. German for putting an end to
tile pending debate. The plan under con-
alteration contemplated night sessions
next week. with the object OF fore
ing the silver Senators to talk 80
continuously that they would exhaust their
ammunition and be compelled to surrender.
1t Is understood that this plan has not been
abandoned. but that, beginning next week. the
screws will be applied by the repeal Senators.
and they are very hopeful that the end Of the
eight will not be long delayed. Tho repeal SEN
ators are confident indeed. that the silver men
have about reached tho end OF their rope.
They say that there are only few set
speeches yet to be delivered. and that
Senators Teller and Stewart will not dare
to outrage the public sense OF propriety
IbI continuing their absurd speechmaking for
many days longer. Indeed. the repeal sena-
sGgs feel T S9nde5t that such speeches as
been making Tor the past week have served
only to exhaust the patience Of those who
have been inclined to concede to them the

The MARYLAND Senator is undoubtedly less in
fiined to eoncede anything to the silver sena:
Moicott upon the repeal managers. and it is
probable that for the remainder Of the debate
the silver Senators will not be treated with so
much respect as they have received heretofore.

Inc silver Senators are fully aware OF the
