NEXT SENATE SITUATION.
The Program of the Silver Forces in tn,
Senate.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The declaration
of Senator Dubois today that the repub-
licans could not organize the next senate,
disclosed purpose that has been forming
for fusion of organization of that body.
1t is the intention to have three parties
opposed to the republicans-th demo-
Gratis, the populists and silver republicans
caucus separately and appoint repre-
sentatives to confer, for the purpose of
a fusion organization. 1t will require
the support of all the factions opposed to
the republicans to accomplish this re-
suit, the gold democrats as well as the
silver democrats. There is no purpose
to reorganize to prevent tariff bill from
being carried. The silver republicans
would prefer that organization be de-
ferred until such tariff bill as the re-
publicans want shall be brought before
the senate and passed. 1t is intimated
that silver men will facilitate the report
of such measure as republicans of the
committee may agree upon. 1t is pos
sible that the silver republicans may
not vote for tariff measure, but they
could refrain from voting and that would
pass the measure.
