tiOn, the silver State senators
will be- expected to acQuiesce
in any reasonable arrangement lookin
at the continued recognition Of silver.
It may be stated, however, that the sill
YER party In the Senate as a whole, in
cluding both Democrats and Republi-
cans Is not so anxious TO secure COM
promise as Is supposed. The silver men
appreciate that they are IN the minority
aud cannot dictate the terms OF
capitulation but they feel that
the majority is almost as
they are, sRd if they can make it clear
that they will be able to go on with the
debate indefinitely, they will be able to
secure very liberal concessions. One
point on which they still seem deter
mined TO hold out is against fixing the
Limitation Of the time when silver pur-
chases shall cease within Mr.. CleVe-
lands administration, and the chances
are that they will win in this matter.
WHAT THE SILVER MEN WOULD LIKE
most OF all next to free coinage would
be 20 have the Administration forces
abandon the fight altogether and leave
the present oill ia force. That would
be triumph and not compromise. Sen
ator Henderson intimated yesterday
that he considered this result possible,
and having canvassed the chamber
very thoroughly to secure a comprom-
ise, Mr. Manderson is quite competent
20 pass npon this point Such result
could be brought about by taxing re-
cess until the regular meeting
day in December or by taking
up some other bill. There Is general
desire among Senators to get away.
Summoned herers hurrledly last Aug
ust TO do q work which they were
assured could bs accomplished in two
weeks Many Of them left their ousl-
ness affairs in bad shape and desire to
return home to put them in order. II
therefore the night session experiment
should not bring the passage Of the
bill in some shape, amended or
unamended, there is a possibility
that recess resolution would secure a
majority 10 It's support. The elections
bin will probably reach the Senate
early II the week, but there will likely
hs no immediate effort TO take 1t up.
Senator Allen, OF Nebraska, had only
fairly begun a speech yesterday when
the Senate adjourned, but he will to-
morrow give way TO Mr.. Mcpherson,
who desires to speak on the repeal side,
and Mr.. Cockrell, who will oppose re-
peal. Senator Wolcott will probably
make short speech during the
morning hour tomorrow. Mr.. Allen
will come in later during the
week to finish his speech, as will also
Senator Teller 10 complete the speech
begun bv him over a week since. Sen
ators Morgan, Stewart, Dubois and other
sites are understood to be prepared with
speeches when opportunity is presented
for their delivery. Senator White, OF
Louisiana, may also speak during the
week in advocacy Of repeal. Senator
Jones, OF Nevada, is indspOsed. bot II
his health should improve he will begin
the delivery of a speech The silver
men say they will agree to do tie talk
ing il the repealers will keep the quo
rum intact.
IN THE HOUSE.
Important matters will occupy the at
tentiOn OF the House this week. To
morrow is the last day for debate on
the Tucker bill to repal the Fedora
election laws aud on Tuesday according
TO the terms Of the special order it will
90 TO a vote. Although the Democrats
are united in the demand for repeal
OF the laws OF federal supervision at the
polls. Some Of the northern Demo-
Gratis like Chairman Finch OF the COM
mittee that reported the bill Snd Mr..
Springer and John Dewitt Warner, OF
New York, believe that the Tucker bill
which blOts out all laws on the statute
books relating TO federal supervision
goes too far. Indeed even some OF the
Southern Democrats, notably COL
Oates. OF the Judiciary Committee be-
lIeve that som OF the statutes which the
Tucker bill seeks to repeal should re-
main on the books His desire in addi-
tion on the declaratory status regard
ing the fourteenth and fifteenth con-
stltutional amendments that the law
giving Uaited States Judges jurisdic-
tiOn In cases OF infrsctiOnS OF election
laws In federal elections should not be
disturbed. A Democratic caucus will
be held tomorrow night to give the
Democrats an opportunity TO discuss
the proposed notifications. All Demo
Gratis agree that the laws giving the
government authority to keep peace at
the polls by use OF United States troops
and all awsrelating TO the appointment
OF federal Supervisors and Deputy Mar
shals shall go.
THE ONLY QUESTION
is whether the declsratory statutes,
which In reality have no power behind
them, and Col. Oates suggestion as to
the jurisdiction OF United States
judges in cases OF violations Of election
laws in federal elections shall be retain
ed. The prevailing opinion among the
Democrats who have canvasSed the sit
uation is that the Tucker bill will be
agreed upon as IL stands with possible
modification 10 meet the objection OF
Col. Oates, Mr.. Cleveland Is reported
10 have said TO Mr.. Tucker, the author
OF the bill, that he hoped every vestige
OF the law permitting Federal interfer-
ence would be wiped out and this ex-
preston is expected 70 have It's effect
In the caucus. As 20 the talk Of post
ponlng vote on the bill until action is
had in silver IN the Senate that has
died out and ID will probably cut no
