THL Senator. Lodg e Offers 9. Substitute in the Senate. .__.—._. ITS PROBABLE SUPPORT It Is the Same as the Substitute Offered by Senator Edmunds Twenty Years Ago for Stanley Matthews's Resolution --A Vote Probable. Washington, Jan. 26.—.—Senator Lodge , offered in the Senate yesterday a sub- .stitutefor the Teller-Stanley—Matthews resolution. Senator Lodge’s declara— ' tiOn is the same as the. one offered by c ‘lar Republicans, Senator. Edmunds as a substitute for the original Stanley Matthews resolu- tion. The Edmunds substitute struck out the declaration of the Stanley Mat— thews resolution that all United States bonds issued, or authorized to be is— sued, under the various acts of Con- gress, might be paid in silver dollars at the option of the United States Gov— ernment, and inserted the following: “That all the bonds of the United States issued or authOIized to be is- sued under the said acts of. Congress hereinbefore recited are payable, prin- cipal and interest, in gold coin or its equivalent; and, that any other pay- ment Without the consent of the cred- itor would be in violation of the public faith, and in derogation of his rights.” If the substitute that Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, has offered. which is in substance the financial plank of the St. Louis platform, is adopted, it will not be necessary for Senator Lodge to press his Edmunds substitute. But while the financial plank of the St. Louis platform ought, to command the votes of. all the regu- including Senator Chandler, Senator Pritchard, and the five Western Republican bimetallists who are supporting the Stanley Mat- thews resolution, it will not, it is feai- ed, secure the support of the sound money Democrats because they \\ ould be taunted afterward with having vot- ed for. the Republican platform. Therefore it will be defeated, and a vote will be required on the Lodge Ed- munds substitute. It will' not be defeated by any such majority as was cast against it twenty years ago, when it only got 18 votes against 44, the majority of the Repub- licans voting against it, headed by Sen- ator Allison, 'with Mr. Blaine absent and paired. AThe vote on the Lodge— Edmunds substitute will probably be just‘about the same as on the Teller resolution to—morrow. 'It is'known that Senators Gray and Cattery, and probably Lindsay, who are the three gold Democrats of the Senate, will vote against the Teller resolution, and if Senators Gorman. Mill’p‘l'iy, Smith and Mitchell, of Wis- uonsin, follow their inclinations and do the same they Will just balance the seven Republicans who are expected to vote for the resolution. This would bring the majority for it down-to three. OPPOSITION TO GAGE. Report That He “Till Soon Be Out of the Cabinet. ' , Washington, Jan. 26.—The feeling 1gainst secretary Gage among the Western Republican Senators, who are TELL-ER RESOLUTION! oitterly opposed'tc his financial policy, 1 appears to be growing stronger. ‘1as been intensified since the President - married a successor to Mr. Preston, the I girector of the Mint, and as that was 'against the order itself. virtually a removal, iicted at the Capitol that not many Weeks will elapse before there is a new Secretary.
