cate tho repeal OF the Sherman act have gone

secure action at n very early date They be-
lieve that the easy victory won by the friends

obnoxious law taken from the statute books nj

Tho thorn in the path Of the repeal Senators.
however. IS the group OF radical silver Sena-
tors. who are just as emphatic now in their
determination to night repeal to the bitter end
as they have been at any time during the Sos

now about being able to outvote their oppo-
menus because 'ney ADMIT that the potion mas
fallen out Of the free coinage party In Congress-
They were absolutely confident OF success two
weeks ago. Then came the shock OF Mr.
Toorhees's desertion. followed by the change
Of sentiment in the House. and now tho easy
passage OF the Wilson bill by TINT body has
revealed tho handwriting on the wall so
plainly that the weak -knced Senators who
represent free coinage constituencies. but who
beaten, are getting themselves ready to vote
