Senator Allison and that j nothing

to the fact that he is

strongly opjHjsed to the sugar schetlule
of the bill makes it hnk as though he
was opposed jto the bill, which is to 1
called up in the Senate next I Monday.

It may bo trui that he

I enabled the Sjieaker.to again resume

he had first ordered it to the com
mittee on cjoinage, AVeiglft and Meas
ures, which is known to be hostile to
the free coinage amendment jsissed by
the Senate.) The silver men in there
publican party lost a great j!'piortunity
when they allowed this bill to lie re
ferred to the committee; but it onlv
proves what has so often been jjroven
before that the organ ization of the
repu1l!can!jarty in 0ngre is vastly
Btiperior to; that of its opponent. I It is I
Ix-lievetl now that the committee will
strike out the free coinage amendment
and that tlie final result will be some

satisfactory to the gold men, ;
