his defeat by J. X Gowdy for the chair

The feeling is very bitter on all sides.

TARIFF BILL PROSPECT.
Gorman's Proposed Financial Com
promise Finds Few Friends.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. January 2S-The
tariff bin will not be reported to the
Senate until after the vote has been
taken there on the free-coinage substi-
tute for the House bond bill The Finance
Committee did not take the bill ND for
consideration this morning. In fact. il
was not referred 10 in the full meeting,
but an understanding was reached before
the Democratic members arrived at the
committce-rooms IL is apparent that Mr..
Jones. Of Nevada. notified his Repubn-
can associates that he would not give
them the vote necessary 10 report the
bill until the free-silver substitute Of the
Senate had been clinched Immediately
after this has been done the Commit
tee on Finance will be able TO report the
tariff bill
Much Of the time OF the committee
was consumed I'm an informal discussion
Of the compromise suggested by Mr.. Cor
man as a substitute 10 be reported from
the Committee Of Conference after the
House bond bill. with the rrce-silver sub
stitute gets into conference. This pro-
position contcmplates the Issuance or

nOtes) the declaration that all bonds
now outstanding. regardless of the pro-
visions Of those obligations. shall be
made payable IN gold, and the opening OF
the United States TO the free and unlimlt.
ed coinage OF silver
This proposition found few friends in
the committee. Mr.. Vest was vigorous
in his opposition, and other Democratic
senators opposed il. because il authorized
the issue Of gold bonds and provided for
the retirement of the greenbacks The
Republicans were antagOnstic 10 a man
The argument vas made that this pro-
position would Only work harm 10 the
country, and was intended more as a
political compromise than d solution OF
the financial problem. II was pointed out
by one of the sOund-money Republicans
that il meant simply gold basis for the
bondhClders OF the country. and a silver
basis for every other class. and upon
such a groundwork the financial fabric
could not rest securely.
OF course. this discussion was entirely
informal. but il developed enough 10 show
that such a proposition would find few
friends and many powerful enemies IN
the committee OF the Senate which domi-
mates its financial policy.
