SIRE R RUI11 ES S E N A T Men Favoring Free Coinage ci White Mecz.l in Majority. GAGE CAN'T RB: IRE GREENBACKS fareful Canva- Made cf the Upper Branch of Congress Shows That No Measure Will -ass Tha lRoJv w'hich Provides Tor !:onda Payable Specfically In Gold Instead of Coin. WASHINoTo, Nov. 15.-A canvass which has been made of the senate in dicates that neither Secretary Gage's financial plan nor any other which pro vides for bonds payable specifically in gold instead of coin can secure a major ity of that body. Taking as a basis the record of the senate early in 1S:6 on the bill author izing the issue of coin bonds and certifi cates of idebtedness and making esti mates of new members, it appears that a free coinage measure would pass the present senate by a vote of 46 to 43. The yeas would be made up of 25 Democrats, nine Republicans, six silver Republicans and six silver Democrats. The nays would show l4 Republicans and nine Democrats. The nine Demo crats who voted against free silver were Caffery, Faulkner, Gorman, Gray. Lindsay. Mills. Mitchell. Murphy and Smith. Of these Faulkner, Gorman. Mills. Mitchell and Murphy accepted the Chicago platform. This would leave only Caffery. Gray, Lindsay and Smith, who, with the 34 Republicans, would make a total of only 3S senators who are to be relied upon to vote against free silver. Of the 46 counted for free silver on the basis of the vote of 1896, there were nine Republicans. Carter, Clark, Hans brough, Perkins, Pritchard, Shoup, Warren, Wilson and Wolcott. who voted for free coinage, and subsequently re mained loyal to the St. Louis platform. It is asserted that Clark, Carter, Shoup. Warren and Wolcott would vote for sil ver coinage again at the first oppor tunity, while Pritchard, Perkins, Wil son and Hansbrough might vote with their party. It is asserted, however, that all nine would vote against gold bonds without hesitation, and with them would be found Chandler of New Hamp shire, and possibly one or two others. The preliminary canvass seems to show for gold bonds 33 Republicans and four Democrats, a total of 37; against gold bonds, 30 Democrats. ten Republi cans, six Populists and six silver Repub licans, a total of 52. This would be a majority of 15 against the foundation stone of the plans of both Secretary Gage and the monetary commission. It is believed that the majority would be even larger against the retirement of the greenbacks. RAILWAY DIRECTORS MEET. Boards of the G., C. & N. and S. I. L. Elect New Officers.
