TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 7, 1893.

As STATED in Yesterdays GAZETTE,
the L. s. Senate on that day defeated a
motion, not to pass, but even to
take up and consider the bill to repeal
the Sherman silver act, by vote of ~
to %. Ofthe democrats who voted on
the motion, only ten were for, while 20
were against it. And yet the demo
cratic platform upon which Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected contains the following
plank:
s'We denounce the republican lesisla-
ton known as the Sherman act OF 1870
as cowardly makeshift, fraught with
possibilities of danger in the future,
which should make all of its supporters,
as well as its authors, anxious Tor Its
speedy repeal
President-elect Cleveland thinks the
necessity for the repeal of the Sherman
act more urgent than that for the re-
peal of the Mckinley act. And yet
among the few democrats who voted in
the affirmative were Senator Hill and
others who were opposed to Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination, while among the
many who voted against it were some
who favored his nomination from the
first. and who even now profess to be
his greatest admirers.

THE PREVAILING impression on the

what may or may not be done with sill
yer at this session of Congress, Mr..
Cleveland will not call an extra one I'M
Ill late next fall, and that in the mean
time Mr.. Carlisle, who has already quit
the Senate will prepare a tariff bill
which will be presented to the ways
and means committee of the House,
with the expectation that they will
adopt and report it without alteration.
According to the impression referred
to, Mr.. Cleveland thinks that if the new
Congress should assemble early, he
would be bothered by the members
thereof with applications for offices for
their friends. and he wants to put OIL
that trouble as long as possible. But
in the meantime the people will be pay
ing double prices for their necessaries
of life, and silver will beldriving all the
