AFTER ELECTION STATUS.
senator Teller Declines to Disclose
His Views at Present-JOhn Sher-
man Talks at a Banquet-FavOrs
Passage OF Dingley BILL.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 13.-"It would be
impolitic for us to show our hand now
and make our intent plain to the opposi-
tion," said Senator Teller yesterday, when
asked if it would be possible to pass
tariff bill through the coming senate
without silver rider.
81 have received several kilograms
from the eastern press requesting an
answer to that same question:" the sen.
ator continued, shut have refrsined from
making definite reply. Speaking for
myself can say frankly that I have not,
as yet, made up my mind regarding the
com parative strength of the parties in
the senate. When the silver forces meet
at the convening OF congress I anticipate
that caucus will develop plan.
"No, the Republicans will not urge or
push tariff bill when congress opens.
It would be useless, for in case such a
bill was passed President Cleveland
would veto it. If the Republicans are
sincere, however, as they assert they are,

Dingley tariff bill or some other one will

JOHN sHERMAN's TALK.
New York.-Senator John Sherman, OF
Ohio, was interviewed yesterday about
the outlook for legislation in the next
congress.
SIT will be necessary to pass a tariff
measure at once," he said. "The Ding
Icy bill, with some changes, will do for
the present. The Democrats made a
great mistake in not permitting that bill
to pass in the last congress. 1t was only
a temporary measure, intended to raise
the revenue that the government abso'
lutely needed, and if the Democrats had
let 1t 90 through there would have been
no necessity for bond issues, and the
Dem ocratic Administration would have es-
capped q great deal of the censure and
criticism that was heaped upon it.
II doubt" the senator continued, shat
the Democrats in the senate would OPP
pose the bill. am sure the silver sena-
tors would not obstruct legislation.
understand that all the silver men except
Teller and Dubois are opposed to a
policy of obstruction. If the DingleY
bill is passed at the coming session Of
congress there will be no necessity for an
extraordinary session after March 4
Considering everything think that the
outlook for the passage OF the bill is
bright.
at is doubtful that the Republicans
will have majority in the senate. No
body can tell yet whether Republicans OF
Democrats will goto the senate from Ken
tucky and North Carolina. Until these
states elect their senators it will be i'm
possible to say which side will have ma
jority.
