,lte1 in stampeding silver democrats
to the extent expected by the admin
istration.
During the past few days there has
been much talk among both republi-
cans and democrats about SOME sort of
of compromise being reached in
both parties on the silver question
which will keep the silver members
each of those parties in line for at
least one moro Presidential election
As yet it is talk only.
A meeting of the Senate committee
on Rules will be held in Washington
this week, for the purpose of consid-
ering certain proposed changes in the
Senate rules. There are at present
only four members of this committee
Blackburn, Harris, German and AID
rich-the place of the retiring men,
Der, Henderson, of Nebraska, not
having been filled. Senator Black
burn, who is chairman of the COM
mites, has his time too fully occupied
in Kentuck to attend the meeting, but
as the other three members constitute
quorum his absence will not prevent
the transaction of business. This COM
mittee controls, to great extent, the
organization and management of the
Senate, but there are several reasons
why this meeting will not be prolific
of important results. one of which is
enough to mention-the majority of
the committee represents minority of
the Senate
Senator Sherman has gone to Ohio
to preside over the republican State
convention. 1t is known that he
carried with him carefully prepared
speech which he intends delivering at
the convention, and supposed that the
speech contains the Senator'S sugges-
tions as to how the silver question shall
be treated in the platform adopted by
that convention. Of course nobody
has any doubt about where John Sher-
man stands on the silver question, but
considerable interest is expressed in
what position he will advise the con-
Vention to take.
Politicians have their eyes on the
republican National Committee. Sen
ator Carter. of Montana, pronounced
silver man, is the present chairman
the national committee. Rumors
have been prevalent of movement
on the part OF anti-silver republicans
to force Mr.. Carter out of the cnair-
manship. and there are reasons for
the belief that Mr.. Cart RS recent trip
tow Washington and New FORK was CON
nected with those rulnor,. Very ma
turally he wants to stick, and just as
naturally the silver tepu )licans are OF
the same mind T.ere will be no
meeting of the committee unless it be
specially cal ed, before he It February
when it meets for reorgan ization and
to decide where the natioI III conver-
ton of Its party sha be held. Even
should Mr.. Carter be reelected at the
February meeting he might not remain
at the hoad of the committee during
the campaign, and it is rule to allow
the nominated for President to name
the chairman of the National Com
mittee which manages his campaign,
and it is known that at least one OF
the most prominent aspirants for the
nomination would not name Mr.. Car
ter.
The executive committee of the
knights of Labor has bought lot and
given out the contract for the erection
of building to be used for the ma
tional headquarters of the organiza-
ton. The new building will face the
Capitol, and will be occupied before
the next session of Congress opens by
the executive committee, which, its
members says, will be on hand to
watch legislation and the courts, in
the interest of the Knights.
