Mr.. Patterson's announcement that lie
Ans lo-Saxon race would dominate in the
south no matter what measures should
be passed to repress them. stirred up the
republicans ana will probably furnish
the text for some lively speeches during
the coming week. Some OF the big men
on both sides are being reserved for the
finish. Bourke Cochran. Amos Cum
mings, Col. Oates. Springer. Wilson and
others on the democratic side; Reed, Dol
liver, Henderson and Burrows on the
republican side will not he heard until
the battle RACES fercest. The voting

October 10th, a week from Tuesday.
The opponents of The repeal blu have
been canvassing among themselves the
proposition fora compromise made them
yesterday by some of the advocates of
that measure. There has not as yet
been time Tor thorough investigation of
the change OF views on the subject, BUTT
can be authoritavely. stated that many
of the silver men are not very favorably
impressed with the scheme. There IS
especial objection TO the proposition
which the offer includes to provide for
the issuance of $2OO,OOO,0O0 worth OF
per cent, bonds, and it looks as if it
would be necessary to modify this lea
ture of the provision before airy agree
ment can be reached on the lines indica-
ted. Many of the silver men also say
that tie $2,eo9,O9g ounces OF silver
which it is provided in the tender 81 the
repealers shall be purchased is too small.
and they seem inclined to take their
chances upon holdin. the present law tic

injurious to the silver psoducting inter-
ssts. 1t is understood that there will he

before the present truce is declared at an
end aud many of the senators speak
hopefully of the prospect of reaching an

house side. the proposed movement to
ally the silver and tariff interests to pre-
vent adverse legislation in both cases
attracts little attention. leading menu
bers of both parties do not think it
feasible.
II there is to be a compromise it will
be in these terms; Coin all the silver
bullion in the treasury and call in the
treasury notes issued upon them. So as
to prevent their redemption in gold; buy
and corn silver, say $500, 200 per
month for two years. and that to end
The silver purchases; Issue $500, 100000
gold ponds TO MAINTAIN the parity, and
extend the Issue of national bank notes
to the full amount Of the bonds de-
posted.
The reason that this is regarded as the

compromise, il any should be adopted,
is because that is the proposition which
the administration senator's say will be
offered alter unconditional repeal is nc
complished. It will not be satisfactory
to the silver men because it in the end
wipes ont silver purchases, but they may
accept it because i'll two years they may
be able to 60 before the people again, or

piration of two years, be ableto have an
opportunity to vote at a presidential
election. The Southern men do not like
it at all because most OF them desire to
go on silver basis. The populists aud
