WASHINGTON LETTER.

The anti-silvpr republicans
nre about the most disgust
ed lot of mon III Washington.
They had planned ITO whip
their silver colleagues into

House tariff bill. and for that
rpnson they allowed ne
free coinage substitute for
the House bond bill to go
through the Senate without
attempting to delay it. They
know that the House would
kill it, AZ it will actually do
this week. ind thonght that
they would then be able to
rush the tariff bill through
the Senate without amend
inent. They fist learned their
mistake when the FinHn,p
Committee reported t ]. a t.
sTme free coinage bill, word
word, as u substitute for
the House tariff bill. They
now want that substitute
