TABLISIIED JU! POLICY OF THE REPUBLICANS Anzious to Seoure Favorable Legislation but Insist on Proper 8afeguards, THEIR VIEWS OF THE COMPROMICE PLAN Benator Sherman! Will Make an Effort to Mave the Secretary of the Treasury Authorized to Issue Bonds In an Emerg: 513 FOURTERNTH STRERT, Wasnineroy, Oct, 22, General expectation favors the passage of the democratic silver compromise. 1f the democrats will unite on the amendment the, can pass it. Whether it will receive any support from the repeal republicans is ex- ceedingly doubtful. Several republicans have always believed compromise mevitable, but they have all insisted that any com- promise continuing silver purchases should be accompanied with authority te accumu- late gold by the sale of bonds. Senator Manderson has steadily main- tained the position that the issue of bonds or specific authority so to do in case of emergency, is essential to the restoration of public confidence and the maintenuuce of parity The senators from the mining states will, of course, oppose the amendment, and they will have the support of Allen, Kyle and Pefer. Senator Teller says he will not, while opposing the measure, filibuster against its passage. Efforts of Senator Sherman. The republicans, led by Mr. Sherman, will doubtless make an effort to amend the bill by adaing an additional section authorizing e saie of a specified amount of bonds at the discretion of the secretary of the treas ury. If such anamendment benot made the proposed_compromise will be almost as reat a makeshift as the Shermun act Tnder that act the silver bullion is paia for by treasury notes redcemablo in coin, the notes being issued against the commercial value of the bullion. By the coinage of the seignioragd or the issuc of treasury notes against it the measure of the security for these notes is reduced by about 40 per cent and its place is supphied by the act of the avernment, which consists of so much wind. fhe seigniorage is the difference between the price paid for the bullion aud the coin- age value, Deta [ the Proposed Moasure. ‘T'he builion now held is worth its commer- cial value, but 1f the seigniorage be utilized in the manner proposed by the compromise, its declared value in the form of silver dol- lars would be increased by the difference be- tween the mint value of “the coin and the market value of the bullion. It is estimated that the mint value of the bullion now held 18 over £50,000,000 in excess of the commercial yalue. The amendment proposes to inflate the bullion now held and the purchases that will be made until October 1, 1804, with con- gressional wind. The treasury notes being redeemable with gold, sound business prin- ciples and a proper regard for the public crediv require that the secretary of the treasury should have authority to provide for their redemption in gold, and this can only be done by giving official discretion and authority to sell bonds.

Time of the Sen ™ WaSHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The silver question will probably again this week occupy the attention of the senato to the exclusion of every other subject, unless it be some minor matter like the confirmation of presidential appointments, Even though the compro- mise bil be brought in tomorrow there is little prospect of concluding the consia tion of the question before the latter part of the w E Senator Jones of Nevada, who has spoken already on three different days, anuounced last night that he would require parts of wo or threa days more for the couclusion of his remarks. Senator Teller also has on hand a speech which he began tio or threo weeks ago, which he would like to have an opportunity to conclude. Therc aro probably otners of the silver advocates who are sunilarly situated. They will be given n opportunity to present the matter pre- pared, even though the argument of the question shall be definitely settle . There will in all probability be many speeches in explanation of votes upon the compromise, but these will be comparatively brief. Thercis & possibility that the com- romise may wait, though all the proba- ilities are “in fuvor of its success. If it should fail the throttle will be thrown wide open uguin and no one can forotell what the week will bring forth. Such a state of affairs would be alwost certain to force the senale into o flerce fight over the rules, It is probable that Senator Voorhees will make & summing up speech during the week if the compromise amendment is introduced. Week to e Compromisers Working Hard. ‘There has been nothing done today in the way of getting additional supporters to the compromise, but it is the intention of the leaders of the movement to push the matte: at once and_secure suflicient signers to se- eure fuvorable action, It is their hope to obtain the consent by telegram to have the names of some of the absentees attached to the bill Practically the banking and currency com- mittee consists of seven democrats and six republicans. On the question of the repeal of tho state bank tax the republicans, Messrs, Walker, Brosius, Russcll and Johuson, inde- ndent, are all counted against the proposi- Bion. Coitnted with ther are. Springer. and Bperry. The democrats who are counted in favor of repeal are Messrs, Cox, Cobb of Missouri, Culberson, Cobb of Alabama, War- ner, Black of Georgia, and Hall of Missouri. This leaves the committee eight aud eight, with Johuson of Ohio doubtful. The men sgainat vepesl say that he is surely with them and the repealers claim him also in case they repeal certuin clauses which he desires repealed. ouse Farecast. The Locoscope of events in the house this week will hinge upou the result of the effort to put through the compromise at the other end of the capitol If the compromise should reach the house before the considera- sion of the bankruptey will, which 1s made a eontinuing order beginning tomorrow, is dis posed of, that order will bo vacated to the end that prompt action may be had on the financial measure. 1t is not expected, how- ever, that the compromise bill will reach abe house under the most favorable circum- stances until tho latter end of the week. Unless it becowes appavent that there might be uvrcasonable delay in committee, the bill will be referred under the rules to the eoluage, \\erxinu and measures comuittee. I there lldl disposition to hold iv there, a wmotion will be made to concur in the senate amendments when the bill is taken from the speaker’s table. ‘The atlitude of the republicans towara E 19, 181 the bill will be governed by the course of the republican senators, The silver democrats. too, except perhaps & few extremists, will follow the lead of their political brothren of the senate. In fact, no sort of doubt seems to exist about the house. 1t will pass, and pass with expedition, on any compromise that goes through the senate. A% to Other Measnros, The hankruptey bill, unless the financial measure dislodges it, will probably occupy the entire week. Much opposition to_this measure in its present form has been devel- oped. Messrs. Culborson and Bailey, demo- crats, and William A. Stone, republican, of the committeo which reported the bill, are among its opponents. Mr. Stone will open the fight against she bill tomorrow. Mr. Culberson says it must be amended in many particulars, while others say it can never pass unless radical changes are made. One of thess changes is the involuntary clause by which a mau may be put through the bankruptey court, even when it is not to his advantage or a majority of his creditors to take such action. Mr. Stone points out” many defects the bill which he says to the casual observer has not oceurred. He is opposed to the ol on general principles. There have been three bankruntey laws passad and all have be repealed. The longest maintained on the statute book was eleven years, the rest less than two ye in RAND TRUNK WRECK VICTIMY, Halt of the Number Killed Will Not Be Tdentified.

Wreck on the Fort Wayne. Liva, O., Oct. 22.—A bad wreck occurred on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago road in a dense fog at Monroevilie, west of this city, at an early hour this morning. The westbound vestibule train No. was running iu seyeral sections, and the second one was stanging ata switch near Monro ville awaiting the arrival of the second se tion of the eastbound passenger traia No. 4. It was about 6o'clock and the fog hung so heavily that it was impossible to see farther than a few fect ahead of the engine. The westbound train was standing close to the switch and was in charge of Conductor Ppipps and Engineer Doty on engine No, 190, The eastbound train was in charge of Con- ductor Guinty and Engineer Cowen on en- gine No. 891, The train was late and was running at a good speed, but, owing to the fog and the en- gineer's inability to see where he was, Eu- gineer Cowen had commenced to slow up, as he thought it was about time for him to reach the switch. Suddenly there loomed up in front of him an engine, and before he could jump they crashed into each other and were piled up in a wreek, Engineer Cowen was frightfully scalded and was taken from his engine by passengers who had escapea injury. Iire- man Dailey was caught and badly burt. One of his legs was broken and it is thought he is injured internally. Brakeman Hunt was found lying near the track unconscious und suffering from wounds which may result fatally.

MERCER AND HIS POLITICAL PALS List of Delegates toithe Recent Cameus of Disgrantied Politictans—Kyner's Cam- paign Cruteh—Prospects that the Doctor Wil Soon Need One, Amos ‘“Juryfixer” Van Alstine and his select cotere of political pals were filled with grief yesterday morning, when they awoke to a realization that their secret con- vention of “cifizzns” had atiracted outside attention chrough the columns of Tue BEs and that their doings of the preceding even- ing were known to the world. Whilo the juryfixing Amos had been per- ambulating about town during the business hours of Saturday, peddling ihe personal 1n- vitations that were relied upon to get the disgruntled ones together, he had been very careful to impress upon the invitees the ne- cessity of keeping the program ‘dark,” and when he finally had the satisfaction of gaz- iz upon his chosen associates collectively, he was more than satisfied that the Com- mendatory “well done,” of his commanding general, Boss Twenty-eigitter Broatch, would soon come nis,w Porsonnel of the Plotters, And it cannot be denicd that it was an ag- gregation to awaken emotions of some kind in almost any huwan breast. Occuping a very prominent position was Jim Kynoy fully togeed out in his campaign costume, for be 1t understood that Jim during the ampaign, and Jim “after the ball is over,” are two very different appearing individuals. On ordinary occasions Kyner we: a wooden leg, and_manages to nuavigate with a scarcely discernable limp, but wien ther are votes to be procuced, and when the franchised corporations of the city will bo satisfied with nothing else, Jim deftly un- hitches his arctificial undérpinning *and shides it under the bed, at the same timo pulling out a well-worn' crutch, and thus equipped he starts forth to hold i series of post-mortems on the battle of Shiloh. That was how it was Saturday night, and Jim his fellow-couspirators to suffer five separatoand distinet attacks of and ague, as he forcibly dragged them to the historic spot and compelled them to gaze on the fearful carnaze. Then he hauled them over to the hospital and forced them to stand helplessly by while the surgeons were wielding their meat axes with superhuman strength in an endeavor to complete the work left undone by a cannon ball that had struck one of his logs just after he had pulled the other out of the way. Five times did Kyner force his auditors to undergo this featfal experience before he was satisfied that they could be trusted to do their duty as mapped out by him. it “Anything to Beat isomis.” Then there was the father of Wallace J. Broateh, jr. Everyoody knows where he stands, and how he got there. He is a re- publican, for he said so himself; and he is goimg to defeat Mayor Bemis if he has to be a candidate himsef in order vo do it, and he said that, too. He has just returned from the big fair, where he had perfected several plans for secretly jabbing the havpoon into the republican nominee, and as he clasped Dr. Mercer's, voluptuous fist 1t his two little ones, he laughed gleefully with that three- and-a-half-ounce-to-the-pound laugh of his in anti ion of the sweet revenge that he was going to have by standing up the corpulent doctor in the middle of the road, and forcing some of the ropublican voters to go around the block, trusting that they wouldn't get back to the polling place in time to vote. He re- flectively remarked that he taught some folks a lesson something like a guartet of years ago, and he wanted it distinctly under- atood that ho could stick bis butcher knife into a man’s back and turn it round with just as much grace and s litile compunction now as he over could. T'he porsly doctor had turned to speak to some one else, but when he heard this he hurriedly faced again toward the speaker and tid not again take s eves oft him untit he had backed entirely across the room. “Oh, T den’t mean you, doctor, I don't mean you,” soothingly remaried the sire of thesad young man who couldn’t help it. 10, n-n0, T know you don’t, Wally, T know yon don’t. Te-he. Of course you don’t.” That's all meht.” But the doctor hastily continued his retrograde movement until he collided with a pillar with a force that augured illy for the long life of the building. Winter of Discontent, There was Phil E. Winter, an individual who was lawfully born into this world and therefors has & right to be on earth, He ha nd, who has been heard to assort thut Winter has also another valid excuse for living, but no proof was advanced in support of that assertion. Philip was chate- man of the county convention, at which U presidea with such manifest un- fairness and utter disregard of decenoy that hie was severely criticised by members of his owi faction. But what brought him into this meeting was the fact that he had made a sorry spectacle of himself as a delegate to theaity convention, when after the chair had declared Mayor Bemis nominated unanimously he arose and protested against it, claiming that he had nov voted for Bemis, and he was unwilling to_give the nomineq such udvantage as migk.t arise from a unani- mous nomination. The convention sat down on him with considerable vehemence, and he has been suffering in mind ever smce, which made it a very easy matter for Broatch to induce hin to enlist in the “Secoud Edition.” itled to Credentials, Another delegate was Jim Barnaclo, whose right to a seat was never questioned after he had announced his name, Still another Knight, who achieved a full measure of fame during a recent caucus by stealing Charloy Coon’s nose and carrying it around and pinning it on_the back of the owner's head, simply because Coon had punched Joe Redman in the eye. This de- fonsoe of Redman, Yogether with a record as a Twenty-eighter that couldn’t be printed on & perfecting press, made him eligi- ble to a prominent, place on the fioor, and he noisily ayailed himself of all his priy- ileges, Joe Redman was there, and he made no vones of defonding the right of a populist nominee for the eity council to participate i the nomination of a “citizens' " candidate for mayor.

Other cousistently patriotic partisans who were there were Van Ludy, who wanted the nomiuation for city elerk and couldn't get it; M. G.

Sundy Knight spied Bob Livesey and at once moved that he be fired out. The motion was put, but before it could be announced the intruder had fled. Mr. Bishop was then notuiced in the room and was asked Lo declare whether he was “OMAHA, MO NDAY for Bemis or against mms.

When it did come it was to tell how he was beaten in the city convemtion by ‘Rosewater's machinations and villainous abuse.” He had started his stereoptyped roast of Rosewater, when some one asked if Rosewater was run- ning for mayor, or if the meeting was called to consider the question of an independent candidate, Then it suggested that Mercer was the man. Chaffee declared that it would be throw- ing away votes to put Mercer in the fleld, as he would pull from Hascall and Bedford and elect Bemis, which was the very thing they did not want to do. And' then Langren demounced Chaffee, whom he charged with attempting to “pull a hunterd dollar out of Mercer's coat tails, and he tried it more as six times,” He insisted that Mercer was the man, for he had known him “'sic ea Chasing Ratnbows.

The damp chill that settled over the meet- ing came like the fall.of*as hod full of brick: layers' mud from’the top of a five-story build- ing to the slagolithic sidewalk below. There were several there who wanted an answer to that question, althaugh they had not pos- sessed the nerve to ask It themselyes. “Dr. Mercer,” finally whispered o dele- gite, in a half frightened, wholly hopeful tone, and the chuir at once dispatched a committee consisting of Counsman, Kyner and Van Alstine in search of the doctor, with instructions to bring him into the meet- ing dead or alive. The trio went joyously on their mission, like a dog with ' tin can tied to his tail, knowing thut if there was to be any recom: pense for the sins &nd sorrows of this life it was at the other end of the line. ana they brought back the doctor with them, very much aliv m Macleod renewed his promise of 1,- 700 votes, and introduced his brother, who had made a canvass of the same churches covered by Sam.

And then Dr.” Mercer stood u}n and for- mally accepted the nomination for mayor. Mind you, it had not been tendered him, but he was afraid that it had come aboutas near as it was coming, and he hastened to leap across the intervening space with an agility that for a man of his years avoirdupois was something wonaerful. The nomination saw him coming and started to run, buv the doctor was a little too swift for it. He caught it by. the hind leg and threw it flat on its back, and before it really knew what was the matter he was sitting astride it with a pressure of several pounds to the square inch, Discussed the Parity of the Ballot, He spoke of the purity of the ballot and the resources of Omaha, ana discussed the advisability of placing a citizens' candidate for mayor in the fiel He did object to it in the least, now that it had been settled that he was to be that candidate.

All the great bodies of the state were repre- sented and the whole army of Paris was present. Every point of vantage, even the branches of the trees, along the route was occupied.

"Pho most striking of theso were five German officers of hign rank, whose martial bearing and superb uniforms astounded the crowd of spectators, g No Hostlity Showin, Not a hostile shout was heard as passed through the immenso crowd. Italian officers were reccived in the same way and the English ofticers passed without attracting any notice. All the Russian ofticers walked in a compact body headed by dmiral Avelan, and they were saluted by the crowd, who, while remaining silent, un- covered as they crossed. The immense wreath of palms sent by the kaiser, the great wreath of flowers tied by ribbons of the Ttalian colors sent by King Humbert and the wreaths sent by Queen Victoria and the prince of Wales attracted much attention. / There was much foar that the gift of the German emperor and the presence of Italian ofMcers might draw expressions of antipathy from the Parisian populace, but they re- mained perfectly calm and showed political tact which deserves all prais Equilibriom Re-Established.
