Lincoln, Neb., Nov S.-Mr. Bryan to-
day gave out the following: ITO the AS
ISOLATED Press: The returns are too i'm
complete to discuss yesterdays elections
in detail. The republicans everywhere in-
dorsed the republican administration, and
in view of the losses sustained by them
in almost every state, 1t would seem that
republican politics are not being indorsed
at the polls The sentiment in favor of
the Chicago platform shows healthy
growth throughout the country. Perhaps
our opponents will now admit that silver
is not dead. The attempt to secure in
ternational bimetalllsm has proved a fall
ure, and 1t is now more apparent than
ever that the people of the United States
must legisate for themselves on the finan-
cial question. Free and unlimited coinaga
at l6 to Is nearer now than it was a year
ago. High tariff upon a gold basis has
disappointed those republicans who looked
to 1t for relief. Taken as a whole, the
returns are very encouraging. / think T
voice the sentiments of democrats, popu-
lists and silver republicans when I say
the fight win be continued with even more
earnestness until the gold monopoly Ia
broken and the money trust Is overthrown.

silver Republicans in Congress Agree
Upon n DinSIey Tariff Bill
Policy.

Washington. March 24.-The dinner given
to ex-senator Dubois last night by the
silver Republicans of the senate and house
resolved itself into an important confer
ence on the policy TO be pursued by this
party with reference to the Dingley bill.
The result was a practical conclusion not
TO stand in the way of the enactment of
the bill into law. This has been known
to be the policy of a majority of the silver
Republicans. but they had not hitherto
agreed upon this line of action in concert
No formal resolution was adopted last
night. but the expression of opinion was
so general as to leave no room for doubt
as to the policy that will be pursued in
the final passage of the bill.
1t was not determined whether the mem
bers should vote for the bill, but it was
made practically certain that none of them
would vote against it, leaving it to individ-
uai determination whether to vote for it or
refrain from voting. 1t is also understood
that. the silver Republicans will not unite
in any dilatory tactics to delay final vote
on the bill. but that they will demand all
the time necessary to explain the position
they occupy as party ana as individuals.

silverites in Kansas City and jackson
county are declaring that they propose to
show conclusively that the appointments
OF Messrs. Scarritt and Gregory were
brought about by small coterie OF sound
money Democrats in this city.
They assert that when they called upon
Governor Stephens at the Coates House
during his last visit to Kansas City, they
found him in close consultation with well
known sound money Democrat. They also
assert that this man and few other men
who entertain the same view of the money
question dictated the appointment and con-
firmation of Messrs. Scarritt and Gregory
1t Is said that two or three of the orig
inal' free silveritee are compiling the rec
orGs of the men whom they claim are
going to reorganize the police force in
correction with Messrs. Scarritt and Greg
ory, and that in due time they Will make
these records public in such way that
they will reach the free silver Democrats
and Populists in all parts of Missouri.
Their object is to show that Governor
Stephens has allowed himself to get under
the control of the element in his own
party that is hostile to- the free silver
dogma.
While the name of Colonel Gross is still
frequently mentioned as the successor OF
Chief Julian. the names Of several other
men are also used in this connection.

discussion of the necessity for hliing the

ed by Senator German, who called atten-
lion to the crippled condition of the senate
on account of the failure to make Tie COM
mittcc assignments. Mr. German suggested
the wisdom of q compromise arrangement
whereby the Republicans should retain
their present chairmanships. and which
would permit the filling of vacancies on a
basis that would be fair to all parties The
Republicans replied by saying there was no
immediate necessity for action. but claimed
that IL they were to be placed in position

that they be given working majority on
the committees. They called attention to
the fact that they were the plurality party
in the senate. but said that If all the other
parties could unite upon an organization,

Pettigrew suggested that there were four
parties in the senate. and that the Repub-
licans might combine with some other
party. and thus secure control beyond per-
adventure Senator Kyle's probable affil-
iation was freely discussed. and 1t was
agreed on both sides that he would act with
the Republicans on organization.

chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations. made a determined effort
to-day to secure unanimous consent to fix
a day when the final vote should be taken
on the arbitration treaty. but only succeed
ed to the extent of obtaining an agreement
to Il time for Il vote on the miscellaneous
amendments. The executive session con-
tinued from 1890 until o'clock. Consider
able time was spent in contention over the
effort to secure a time for a vote and it
was only after decided controversy that the
opponents of ratification agreed to date
for voting on the amendments. They
based their opposition on the fact that
there were good many absentees whom
they considered it desirable to have in the
senate when the vote should be taken.
The understanding as to the vote on the
amendment was reached on Il plan outlined
by Senator Hoar. 1t provides that the
general discussion of amendments shall
continue until o'clock on "Wednesday of
next week. when Il vote is to be taken on
those which MAY be pending ut that time.
that in case any of the amendments are
agreed TO, the treaty, as amended, shall be
printed and returned TO the senate and
shall still be open to amendments, but
that the final vote on amendments shall
be taken at o'clock the following day,
Thursday.
