COMPROMISE III THE SENATE
!
A Universal Demani that the Clotnre
. Shall Not Be Aprjliet' ?;
HALE AND V00EHEE8 OUSBEL
President Clevelanit la Bending1 tiia Boto-3
atora to Ilia Views by Personal lnlar
vle wa and Solicitation, v,
Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 8. The extremity,
cloture. Is not to be Invoked by the
American senate. A heavy majority of
the members are In favor of uncondi
tional repeal, but this majority has
been carefully polled and lb has de
clared that the conditions are not such
as to warrant a radical departure from
the time honored traditions of the sen
ate that would be necessary to secure
aeloture of the debate and force the
repeal bill to final vote. A conference Is
dally held between the president and
the leading senators, participated in
almost invariably by Secretary of the
Treasury Caul isle. These conferences
have been full of promise, not of the
passage of the bill unconditionally
tionally repealing the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, but of this bill
amended by such additions as to give
to It the undeniable garb of comprom
lse. One by one the senators who open
ly expressed themselves In favor of un
conditional repeal, and they .are nearly
three-fifths of the United States sen
ate, have been consulted as to the .ad
visability of the cloture rule. The re
sult has been that less than thirty of
the eighty-six senators have expressed
themselves In favor of resorting to
such extreme measures. With the prop
osition for cloture abandoned, there
remains but two alternatives for the
repeak senators a compromise or de
feat at the hands of the filibustered.
No one can doubt which of these two
alternatives appears likely to be ohos
ert, and that) is' for the compromise.
The proposition of compromise is now
under discussion and is meeting with
great favor. It provides that, coupled
with the bill repealing the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act,- there shall
be a law authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to buy monthly a con
siderably reduced amount Of silver
bullion and to actually coin this bullion
into money. The secretary of the treas
ury Is also to be given ample power to
protect all gold and currency and mon
ey of the United States and to make
it Interchangeable. In addition to this
tltte National banks are to be permitted,
to issue national notes to aggregate
equal to the face value of United States
bonds on depoBlt. Concessions to the
state banks are also being discussed.
There" is a growing disposition' in .the
senate to oppose presidential nomina
tions of outside parties to offices in the
territories. - " . .1 "
The air about the senate wing of the
capitol Is full of rumors of the com
promise upon the financial question,
but'it Is impossible to trace the most of
these to any authoritative source. The
silver men declare that they can at
any time get a safe majority on a
compromise on the line. of Faulkner's
proposition. The chief obstacle In the
way of a compromise appears to be
the difficulty of formulating a propo
sition upon which the southern and
western and repeal democrats can un
ite. The repeal leaders ridicule the idea
of a- compromise but are no longer so
confident of rushing the bill to a rapid
conclusion.
'At the close of the morsrfng business
In the senate, Voorhees called , up the
repeal bill. Faulkner of West Virginia,
addressed the. senate. He said he would
Vote for the repeal bill, but declared
that he would present an amendment
for the coinage of three million dollars
in silver per month until there was
$800,000,000 in circulation. He predicted
a deficit of $50,000,000 for this fiscal
year.
Hale of Maine said: 'The republi
cans had refrained from taking up
time by 'answering, speeches made on
the other side with the exception of
Sherman and perhaps one ortwa oth
ers on the republican side who were Jn
favor of repeal, they had sat silently in
their Beats ready to vote at all times,
and they had taken up none ot the
time of the session, and they were now
In that attitude, ready and willing and
desirous of voting-. Voorhees was rath
er nettled by Hale's remarks and re
piled In a somewhat heated manner.
Senator PuLols republican, of Indiana,
said that Hale did not represent all
the republicans. It seemed difficult
for Hale to realize the fact that the re
publicans had losf control of the senate.
