would tolerate no departure from

failure to adopt the old ratio of 16 to

St. Louis, *i]., Aug. 27.—A
Washington special says: There is
no longer any doubt that there is an
overwhelming majority in the house
in favor of the unconditional repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man actt The majority will per-
haps reach 60 and may not go over
30. In the senate it is almost rea-
sonably certain that when it reaches
a vote it will have a majority. At
the present .time the senate majority
in favor of uncoiiditional repeal is
known to be at least 2. It may be
more than that when it comes to the
scratch. 1 his information is abso-
lutely correct and definite. The
item in double-leaded, and the autho-
rity for the announcement is alleged
to be the best.
The house of representatives has
passed the act repealing the pur
chase of silver law. Many of the
representatives declared they fav-
ored the repeal of the purchase law
first and then to commence upon an
act authorizing free silver coinage
But it is safe to say that their sin
cerity will develope nothing of the
kin<l. Bills of that sort will be pre
sented by the dozens, only to be
referred or buried by some kind of
management. The promises to try
for free silver .as soon as the repeal
law was passed were all made for
Bunkum. Now, they will try to
par>s free silver bills so as to re-
store confidence with their consti-
tuents but that dodge won't w< 1 k.
Those who voted againt silver by
repealing the Sherman law have
got to stand by the hazard of the
die. Party ring* and party man-
agement will lorce many such
dupes 011 the ticket again but the
people will lay them to rest forever.

hopes, of any candidate in the south
