Show Washington Letter, (from otirjllrgular Corrcipondtnt; Sonator Vorhees is very much lllollie individual, who ovcryliody knows, that is going to do great things tomorrow or next week. Ills threats of resorting to extreme measures to forro a vote on the Vorheis n-pnal bill continue to bo ii.iuto but no extreme measures have lieen resorted re-sorted to. The Senators oppoied lo the bill have openly iltlled Mr. Vorhets to attempt to pass a clUuro rule or to hold thu Senate In continuous session until avoto is reached. Sonator Watt, of Connecticut, has proposed a cloture rule but, as that cm he debated as long as tho repeal bill, there is no probability that it will lie seriously considered. In any attempt to carry out tlio often made threat of wearing thoslhcr men out by a continuous session all of tho udvnn-ttges udvnn-ttges would bo on tho sido of tho silver men, who could divide Into relays while the friends of the bill would hi compelled compel-led to maintain n quorum constantly, and if the attempt ism idb it will probably pro-bably only b to show President Clm-p- laml the ImpO'Mlbiiilyof gotting u vote on the bill, In order to get his consent to a compromlso that would bo" accepted by the sliver men. It is ns certain now as it has bcr-n from the beginning that no vote can be reached without thu consent of tho friends of silver. When thts fact Is rccognked by '"resident Cleveland the long and needless struggle will tie over, and not before, unless a sufficient number of administration Senators shall agree to vote for a compromlso w Ithout his consent, and nriny well informed people tousldorthatn very likely out-coino out-coino of the present situation. |
