me gay before Yesterday Mr.. Coch-
ran went to Mr.. Culberson. of Texas
ana Mr.. Bland and stated that the anti
HiNeT men were willing to start in with
lile discussion Of the silver question on
the second day of the session without
referring 1t or waiting for con-
fldefatlon or report from anv
committee. The underlying motive of
TINS suggestion is said to he a fear
on Mr.. Cochran's part that Speaker
tfIsP Will give the silver men a major
ltN OF the coinage committee. He
uf2rI upon the silver leaders that to
wait Tor committee report would de
iaN achon; that it would be at
iodet TWO weeks and probably three
before any committees womb he
announced. Mr.. Culberson told
Mr. Cochran that he would not
agree, to his proposition; that he be-
iitNeb the silver men could get their
views before the country in very much
better shape If they were embodied in
report from majority of the committee
on coinage. Mr.. Cochran said that he was
willing to Jump into the middle of the
discussion at once, that he would agree
there should be no closure and that
every man should say everything he
hat to say on the subject of silver with
OUT interruption, and that at the end of
the discussion there should be vote
taken on every proposition. Mr.. Bland
also was not favorable to TINS propo-
sltlOn at the outset and at two subse-
Quen consultations Mr. Cochran has had
with Mr.. Culberson, Mr.. Bland was un-
able to be present, because of indispo-
sltIon. They are TO meet again to-day
If possible.
The intention is that Mr.. Cochran
sha!! at the first opportunity introduce
bill 10 repeal the Sherman act out
right without any condition or substi-
tutes. Mr.. Culberson will also intro
duce bill, or someone will introduce a
bill, which will provide for the re-
peal of the purchasing clause of
the sherman act and will also
provide for the coinage of silver
without charge for nj intage at the ratio
Of l6 to /. The bill. ii is understood, in
its wording will follow as closely as NAV
be section of the Democratic platform
OF 1872, which favors the coinage "of
both gold and silver without discrim-
mating against either metal or charge
for mintage, but the dollar unit of coin
age Of both metals must bc of equal
intrinsic and cXchangeablc value. OF
be adjusted through International
agreement or by such safeguards ofiog-
islation as shall insure the maintenance .
equal power of every dollar at ali times
in the markets and in the payment of
debts" BY this means it is thought
that the Democratic opponents OF bill
thus framed will be put in the attitude
before the country of opposing their
own PLATFORM
