The Silver Fight.
President Cleveland has at last
frightened the rebellious demo-
Gratis who have so long oppos-
ed the repeal silver bill into
surrendering to him and his support
ers. 1t is said that several pulls were
brought to bear on these erstwhile in
dependent senators. The greatest of
these was the statement from head
quarters that there would be no more
offices distributed until the bill was
passed and the purchase clause of
the Sherman law wiped out. The
next was that those democrats who
resorted to filibustering would there
by ruin the chances of their party at
the next election. 1t is now certain
that the bill will pass sometime next
week and the effect is expected to be a
clean knock out for silver. When the
announcement was made that the
fight had been given up, Senator
Pugh (dem.) arose and denounced the
President and all other democrats
who had supported the measure. He
declared it to be iniquitous. He held
Cleveland and Carlisle responsible for
the division which has been caused in
the party ranks by the efforts of the
administration to legislate in the in
terest of the gold bugs. Voting on
the amendments has begun and will
continue to the final vote. Puffers'
amendment providing for free coinage
of silver and gold was defeated. Sher-
man threatens to upset the plans of
the administration by introducing a
bond amendment which would receive
the entire support of republicans and
result in another long fight.
Cleveland has stated that he wants
the McCreery bill extending the time
for Chinese to register six months, to
pass without any of the Pacific coast
amendments and he may succeed. He
is willing congress should adjourn
after passing the silver and Chinese
bills and does not expect to send in a
message till the December session.
