A washinGson dispatch to the Chicago
Tribxs.. friend Of repeal, glvea = doleful

abraham Lincoln," said Senator Cullom
to . group Of Ililnoisaus this evening, fused
TO have advisers who thought they could end
the war BY going South and treating with the
rebels lie never opposed these suggestions,
but would listen patiently TO them. Then he
would say: 60 and treat with them II you
think anything can be done, but you must
do 1t unbeknownst TO me-"
The Illinois senator WINS illustrating the
silver situation on the eve of the battle which
is Intended TO decide the fate of unconditional
repeal Dan Voorhees, is going into tho fight
In command Of the repeal forces knowing
that everything has been arranged for q
compromise, but this compromise Is 10 be
''unbeknownst' to him. President Cleveland
has not Lincoln's tnct nor Voorhees, shrcwd-
ness; and he is insisting on knowing through
secretary Carlisle the thIugs which 1t ought
to be assumed he does not know.
There nre n few hopeful persons In Wash
ington tonight who think thnt unconditional
repeal is going TO pass the Senate. These
hopeful persons believe the Democratic silver
senators who have agreed not to flibuster
will be kept right up to the front in main
tanning quorum, and that the silver sena-
tors will be beaten on the test of physical Gu
durance. Old senator's who have been
through many bitter party fight dcrlde this
view, and say that by sunrise Thursday morn
Ing the supposed majority for repeal VIII
have abandoned the field unless German and
the other Democratic senators who arc man
aging the compromise movement can private
ly give their colleagues strong reasons for
sitting It out another night 1t Is probable
that bad temper and irritation will develop
on both sides OF the chamber, and this may
help to carry the contest further than has
been planned.
But with due allowance for all these draw
backs the general belief is that by next sd.ur-
day night compromise will have been reached.
German will then come forward to take the
credit OF 1t, but he will be entitled to but lit
tie. The truth Is that while Gorman's owl
influence has worked against unconditional
repeal II has not been In his power to prevent
compromise.
There is notion In some quarters that all
voorhees,, as cuaiEIna1 OF tne unRncc cCHlInll-
tee, has to do Wednesday Is to begin making
motions to table the various amendments TO
the bill which benrs his name, and that In
this way vote on the original measure can
finally be reached. This would imply con-
tinucd right Of recognition which does not
exist. There has also been II dcluson that
when the dinner hour comes Wednesday
night the silver senators will try to force an
They have no such intention.
Teller or Stewart, or whoever has the floor,
will go right on talking. As the evening
grows old the silveritcs Will disappear with
the exception of two or three. Then they
will begin calling for quorum, which will
require the constant presence OF forty repeal
senator's. Then II is supposed that ut about
midnight some repeal senator who Is tired out
will move an adjournment This will proba- !
bly, be voted down, n, will also other motions |
10 the same effect. There even may be u call |
'f the Senate md the scrgeant-nt-arms be
vent to rout delinquent senators from their
,eds about the time the cock crows lu. In
he end the compromisers are sure adjourn
Dent will come, and when 1t comes the fight
Tor unconditional repeal is ended.
