WASHINGTON. =. g.. Fob. lG-Spe-
cialsA forceful Illustration of the 1ivi-
sion or sentiment ia the Republican party
regarding the question OF bimetallism.
was furnished to-day. when in the Coin
age Committee of the House. prominent
Republicans were making vigorous at-
tacks upon the Senate international Con-
ference bill. while in the Senate Senator
Chandler was addressing bis colleagues
ln favor Of the reconciliation of silver
aud against the establishment OF the sin
gle standard.
The feeling OF the Republicans in the
House is that the last campaign was
made iu favor of the single sold stan
dard and in opposition to any change
in the policy OF the Government which
could lead at present to the use Of a
greater volume of silver in the national
currency.
The verdict OF the people they main
tain. was 800 favor OF The gold standard.

If the Republicans were bold enough
to take up promptly the whole currency
