The Reflection With Which Senator
Are Coasoiing Themselves.

The Refaection With Which Senators
Are Coasoiing Themselves.
WAsHIsGToN, Sept. 60 Those who
look fer an outcome OF the senate silver
debate within the near future console
themselves with the reflection that 1T
is darkest before dawn. They have
need of such slender consolation as can
he derived from this adage. for the ont
look seems to grow more obscure with
each days prolcngation of the talk
The introduction of cloture resolu-
ton has not simplified matters to any
great extent, for, as already pointed
out in these dispatches, cloture can
only be adopted by cloture--by the vice
president putting the question point
blank to the senate and calling the roll
and refusing to recognize senators who
rise to ad .ress the chair, either
for the purpose Of speaking on
the subject, or Of making dila-
tory motions. This being the case,
the suggestion is obvious that the vice
president might as well be asked tc
adopt this course on the repeal bill al
first hand. instead of applying 1t to q
measure designed to reach the repeal
bill by 'circuitous treatment.
A well Defined Suspicion.
Aside from this objection to th.
sloture plan there is well defined sus
picion that the broaching of the sub
| iect at this time and in this manner il
not, entirely disengenuous, although
Mr. Platts state ment of the case wa
apparently candor and fairness person
ified. 1t is shrewdly suspected that i
Republican senator's, with house b;.
repeating the federal election laws Il
prospect in the nea- future, war,
brought face to face with the questio,
OF adopting cloture as one of the rule
/ OF the senate, they might no
be as ready to vote for it a
they now are to advocate it wher
there is no prospect of its passage. Thi
is certainly the inference drawn from
Mr.. Frye's remarks that the senat
would have to sit up all night befor
the election laws could be repealed, an,
the evident favor with which this inn
piled threat was received on the Repub
lican side OF the house. Mr.. Voorhee
maintains his belief in favorable ont
come of the struggle, notwithstandin,
the unpromising appearance, and i
was noticed as hopeful Indication Q
success for the administration force
that Mr.. German was sitting alongsid
Mr.. Voorhees, and was giving him th
advantage of his parliamentary tac
and shrewdness OF management
