with the Cleveland goldbugs on the
memorable sherman purchase-clause re

wanna. was made conspicuous that year
by the fact that he was the only east

he voted Friday with the silver men.
In 1898 Senator Gray. of Delaware voted
with the repeal goldbugs; on the Teller
resolution he voted with the silverites.
This does not mean that Senator Gray
is convert TO free coinage; il does dis
tinctly signify. however. that he recog-
nizes the Chicago platform party as the
democratic party to which he proposes
TO vote his allegiance--and that's a good
deal. Senator Kenney, also Of Delaware.

Senator Lindsay is another gain. On

honestly stand by his state or resign his
senatorship. Mr.. Mitchell, of WILSON,
sin. is another illustration He voted
with the Cleveland goldbugs in 1898; last
week ne voted fer the Teller resolution.
Another case is Mr.. Faulkner. of West
Virginia. He, too. is a democrat. He
voted with the galdbugs ON the repeal
resolution Of 1899; he was paired with
Mr., Elkins last Friday. with the an
nouncement that. II present. h. would

all amendments. 1t was the same with

Senator German: a like announcement
was made as to his pair; he voted with
the geldbugs in 1898. Even New Jer-
sey's Senator Smith felt obliged to obey
the mandate Of his party. He voted
with the goldbugs in 1898; ne was for
the Teller resolution last Friday.
Thus the vote of last week gave the
silver side one vote in New York, one IN
New Jersey, two in Delaware, one in
Wisconsin, one in New Hampshire and.
by announced pairs, one in Maryland
and one in West Virginia. This gain is
of account as showing that the issue is
not merely the agitation of mythical
silver barons in the northwest states"
silver lost, last Friday. one vote in
the state of Washington, the only vote
Oregon has, one vote in California, one
vote in North Dakota.
. And. whatever the senator's say or
however they dodge, last Fridays vote
was a test even in a larger sense than
the vote of 1898 was. 1t is SO regarded
by the gold press of the country, in the
comment of the past fortnight Indeed,
the votes of Friday were series of
tests. Mr. Lodges amendment was
complete assertion of the policy of Mr.
Gage: the fact that so many republicans
like Allison, Quay, Thurston and others
refused to vote for it, must fill the adj
ministration with establishment. Then
there was the Foraker amendment. 1t
was nothing more or less in the world
than an affirmation of the st. Louis
money plank, yet it received only thirty
three votes.
OF course, the house will vote the Tel
Ter resolution down. Yet the vote of
last Friday is sgnificant-it is notice to
the administration that its gold plans
are naught. Thus, the likelihood is that
the administration must live through
the first half of its term with only one
house of congress to rely on and that
for its second half it will lack both
houses.

In the House.

n OW If the Lodge amendment to
M the Teller resolution could get
before the house of representa-
tives, there would be vote worth
watching. That is a test which the
house managers would not like to risk.
Indeed. Mr.. Dingley has been casting
an anchor to windward-he said the
other day that the resolution is mis-
chievous." that it will probably be re-
rerred to the house committee and then
reported adversely.
The reporter fer goldbug news
paper asked Mr.. Dingley if a gold sub
stitute like the lodge resolution would
not come from the committee: Mr..
Dingley slowly replied, my view
would be in favor simply of an adverse
report. The rejection of the resolution
would IN a certain sense imply the neg
ativc, of what the resolution implies.
In q certain sense it would, but it would,
not bring the house squarely to vote
that would test the administration
gold policy strength; evidently the
house managers want to snun that test.
Later in the conversation Mr.. Dingley
was asked if it would be in order when
the matter gets befpre the house, to
substitute n bill from the house bank
ing committee for the Teller resolution.
Mr.. Dingfey's conclusion WIS that it
would mot be germane.' Mr.. Dingley
is right. from his standpoint, in his
characterization of the Teller resolu
tion; it is mischievous-for his plans.

-rHE controversy involving Ha-
wall, Senator Morgan and ex
President Cleveland came to an
uncommonly sudden pause. 1t was
started by the senator, who said that.
Mr.. Cleveland had favored annexation.
This was said in executive session of
the senate but. of course, it reached the
public-although the executive sessions
are supposed to be secret-and instant
ly Mr.. Cleveland let the newspapers say
for him that he is and always has been
opposed to Hawaiian annexation. Mr..
Morgan didn't let the matter rest
there He asserted in open session of
the senate that Mr.. Cleveland, in his
first term, distinctly told him that he
was in favor of annexing Hawaii and
Cuba. that he said the same to others.
and that he, Morgan, supposed there
was no secret about it. In spite of Mr..
Cleveland's denial, Morgan. IN his SEN
ate talk, insisted that. in his second
term, Cleveland did intend to annex
Hawaii and pension the queen. and he
waded through a mass of correspond
ence to sustain his assertion. The sud.
denness with which the dispute dropped
out of sight is conclusive proof that the
public cares little whether Grover was
for or against it.
