An article prepared by Senator Chandler
on the standing of the next United States
Senate for the Boston Journal was printed
In the New York World yesterday. 1t gave
the membership of the Senate as Republic
can, A; Democrats 80; Populists, o; Sill.
yer, 1. From this he decided that the Re-
publicans would control the organization
of the Senate; that no protective tariff law
can DO passed If the silver men Insist that
a free silver rider be tackled to 1t. Nine
Republicans, 26 Democrats, Populists
and silver Republicans would vote for
silver, which would give IS votes and leave
two over majority to spare. Senator
Chandler does not believe, however, that
the silver Republicans will take such
action.
Senator Gray was shown the article last
night. After reading it carefully. he said:
Senator Chandler may BIS approximately
correct, but do not think any one can
estimate with certainty until we meet next
month. There have been SO many
changes that I would not feel justified in
giving an opinion"
