THE DEMOCRATS UP IN ARMS , Every Means to Bo Used to Defeat - the Federal Election Measure. ITS PASSAGE IN THE HOUSE CERTAIN , No Two Opinions Alike Entertained by tlio Conferees on tlio Silver 11111 The Views ofChnlr- iiiiiu Conger , AVASHINQTON BuitBAU TlIB OMAHA BBB , 513 FotiiiTiiBNTii STIIEBT , AVASIHNOTOX , D. C. , Juno 83. If n vote had boon taken in the honso on the federal elections bill on Saturday it might Iiavo boon defeated. There can bo very little if any doubt that who.i tha vote is taken next AVcdn'csday afternoon It will receive a de cided nujorlty. Tharo have bosn many changes of sentiment on the republican side during the pist twenty-four hours. This afternoon the democrats cliilnn.l that there nro twelve republicans who would not vote for the bill , whllo not a single democrat would support it. That would defeat the bill. The republicans listed by democrats ns being In opposition to the msasuro are Lhl- bach of Now Jewey , Colennn of Loulsana , Ewnrt and Choitham of North Carolina , AVaddell of Virginia , Hill of Illinois , Cheadlo of Indiana , AVilsou of Kentucky , Frank and Nloilrlnghuus of Missouri , Stewart of Ver mont , and Simons of Connecticut. This list is tonight far from being correct. It is probable that when the vote is taken there will not ba nnro than flvo republicans re corded in the opposition. Mr. Waddell says ho is heartily in favor of it , while Messrs. Ghcatlmm , Frank and Niodrlnghaus declare that they will support it. Messrs. Stewart , Simons and Choadlo take exceptions to fea tures of tlio bill , bat say they will cast their votes iu'favor of It. CheaJlo wiya ho objects to making the certificate * of the supsr- visors superior to the certificates of the governor and secretary of state , the officers fixed by the constitution of the states to perform this duty , and wjio Invo general supervision of state elections , including these for congress. Ho docs not believe that a state officer should bo held responsible for calling and conducting nn election , and at the same time deprived of the authority for certi fying the elections. Ho nlso objects to the provision in Iho bill which says that If u bal lot is cast in the wrong box it miiv bo counted if placed in a sealed envelope and sent to the supervisor , who may live in another county or even another slate. Ho says Iho law of Indiana would invalidate such action and ho thinks the federal government should not run to the contrary of laws provided under the primary features of the state constitulion. But Mr. Cheadlo will vote for the bill utter lighting ns hard us ho can to get two or three amendments. The sumo is Iho position of Mr. Stewart , Simons , Nicdringhaus , Frank and one or two others who have boon classed by the democrats as among these who will vote against the bill. The prospects nro that the bill will have a majority of from iivo to ten. If the majority drops as low ns five it will oo on account of the absence on republicans who nro notE aired or the faduro of republicans to vote E ccauso they neither want to oppose or en dorse the bill. The debate of the bill today was at times very spirited. Mr. Burrows of Michigan de livered ono of the most striking speeches that has yet been uttered in support of the meas ure. After denouncing in the severest terms which ho could command all species of elec tion frauds known to the south , ho declared that there would bo opposition to the bill if every word of it was stricken out below the enacting clause and these three of the com mandments substituted : "Thou skult not steal , " "Thou shultnot bear false witness. " 'Thou shalt not kill. " "Such n bill , " said Mr. Burrows , "would bo declared revolu tionary by every southern democrat and tlicro would bo an appeal to arms for its suppres sion. If it should become a law the south would rise up to strike it down or prevent its enforcement. " Mr. Burrows' speech was re plete , with climaxes and was not only listened to by a full house , but u largo number of sena tors from tbo upper chamber. Mr. Burrows seemed to comprehend the bill very fully when ho said it was simply extending pres ent laws and giving the federal government the sumo power in u non-partisan and general way that had always been given to local and state authorities , but which could not be enforced on account of local prejudices. There promises to bo n very lively time in the house during the Mst day of the debate , beginning tomorrow afternoon , when every man will speak under the llve-minuto rulo. The democrats uro up in urms against tlio bill and will resort to any expediency to im pede debate and bring about defeat. NO TWO OPINIONS AI.IKB. "No two members of tlio conference com mittee on the silver bill entertain exactly tbo same notions us to1 what kind of a measure in detail should bo agreed to , " said Chairman Conger of the house committee on colnngo , weights und measures this afternoon. "Wo intend to have u meeting next Wednesday morning , " continued Major Conger , "and liopo to reach an agreement at tho'first meet ing , but wo have men on the conference com mittee entertaining notions from the singio standard of gold ( Senator Sherman ) to tlio wildest frco coinage crank ( Representative Bland of Missouri ) , and I presume there will bo every sort of proposition made in con ference. It is my impression , however - over , that the only thing wo will have serious contention over will bo the proposition of thoscnutoto extend the full legal value to the silver certificates already issued. The house , us far as I know , has no objection to making the certificates which are to bo issued for the purchase of bullion a full legal tender for public und pri- Vilto debts , but t think It Is enough to deal with the present without going back to the past and taking up the hundreds of millions of certificate already In existence mid giving them further legal tender value. The cer tificates in circulation are n legal tender for public debts mid unchangeable for legal ten der notes and nolil certificates and coin , mid that , we think , is sufficient. Burring unex pected ami unreasonable Individual demands. 1 think the conference will ugrco ut the first meeting und that the silver bill will be adopted without serious delay.

The debate on the federal election bill was then rosumoJ , Mr. Herbert of Idaho bolng accorded the floor. Mr. Herbert dwelt on the reconstruction laws and saiu that by them tlio negro had been taught to distrust tlio southern white man. The nc ro was now learning that it was not for his intercut to nrray himself solidly against the whlto man and the whlto man was doing everything In his po\vor to teach the n'ogro this lesson. If the south was anowod to workout the prob lem for itself the time would soon como when the negro , being educated ns tlio whlto man was , would bo able to take care of himself , both as n taxpayer and ns a citizen. Mr. Houk of Tennessee said that his advocacy - vocacy of tlio national election law did not grow out of any supposed emergency or ne cessity , notwithstanding tlicro were a variety of reasons that the power of the government should bo asserted. Strangers listening to the debate might think that the object of the moasuto was to arrest the whole democratic party. What harm would result from an honest election ! Hud the democrats from the south practiced dishonest elections so long that it would break their hearts to have to stop them ? Ho then proceeded to quote from the report made by Mr. Springer , from the committee on elections in the Forty-fifth congress , in the contested election case of Dean against Field , in which ho asserted that Mr. Sprinfeer laid down the exact prin ciples involved in the pending bill , namely , that every state of the union should have to conform to the law of the land. It was said the bill would revive race prejudice. It was not race prejudice the democrats were com batting ; it was political prejudice. The ob jection was not that the colored man was black , but that ho voted the republican ticket. Mr. Colemaa of Louisiana announced him self a republican both from conviction and principle , a southern man by birth , education and association. Ho opposed the enactment of a federal election law nt this time. Ho would heartily support n national election bill if ho thought its enactment would secure an honest ballot , but the supposition that tlio passage of such n measure at this time would * have this oilect was based on fulso impres sions und on ignorance of tlio true state of af fairs in some portions of the south. Ho did not , wish to stimulate any trouble , and ho was certain that trouble and bloodshed would follow the enactment of this Icgislu- tiqnt and ho was as sure that the law would fail IP its purpose as ho was that ho would vote against It in this house. Ho wanted peace , progress anil prosperity. Ho wanted to see the solidity of the south broiccn , and there were signs of disintegration in the democratic party of the south. 1'ass the federal election law und the men now ready to separate-from the democratic party woulil get baelf into what they wcro told AVUS the white luau's party rather than risk negro supremacy , Mr. Burrows of Michigan said the question whether u man did or did not exorcise the right of suffrage was not involved in this leg islation. The question was whethnr these upon whom that right had been conferred should bo nornilttcd to exorcise it. Hcfcrring to tlio small vote by which many southern representatives wcro elected to congress , ho admitted that the elections wcro quiet. Some gentlemen said : "Do not pass this law , but let use go homo to the people and cry Liberty 1 Liberty I" Liberty for what ? Liberty to stuff the ballot boxes , to falsify the returns and overthrow the will of Iho people. Ho wanted to pass u measure which would pro claim to the people that the government bud at last tnado true the declaration of the mar tyred Lincoln that this was a government for the pcoplo. Mr. Chipinan of Michigan assailed the law ns unconstitutional. He also insisted that true election reforms required that the use of inonoy in debauching conventions and secur ing great ofilcial places should bo made n fcl- ody.Tho The debate was suspended and the Joint resolution extending for thirty days , or until the bills now pending became laws , the pro visions of the appropriation nets of ISS'J-OO , was passed. The election bill was then resumed. Mr. Lodge , on behalf of the committee , sub mitted a series of amendments , mainly formal in character , and they will be agreed to. Mr. Lohlback of New Jersey offered an amendment providing that the chief super visor of election for every Judicial district shall take such action us is requisite lost-euro such supervision in each congressional dis trict as is provided oy the laws of the United Status , Ho stated that the object of his amendment was to make the law uniform throughout the entire couulry. If it was desirable - sirable to control congressional elections by the national government let it bo applied to every district in this country alike [ demo cratic applause ] , Mr. Choadlo of Indiana favored the amcnd- Srinent , With one or two exceptions there was not n republican constiluency in the country which was so greatly suppressed as was the republican constituency of the state of Indi ana. If the republican party would ndhcro to the leading issues of the day which wcro pressing for consideration it would obtain the Fifty-second congress under the existing law. If ho voted f > > i this measure ho wanted it applicable to the district which ho repre sented. Hctmto. tWA9iiiNOTO.v , Juno 30. In the senate today the commemorative exercises in respect for the late S. S. Cox of Now. York , which hud baen fixed for tomorrow , were postponed until Tuesday of next week. The house bill in relation to oaths In pen sion and other cases was passed. The house hill for the admission of Idaho ns n state was than taken up for consideration. The bill having been road Mr , Morrlll gave notice that ho would at the earliest practical moment move to take up tlio tariff bill. Mr. Teller remarked that the tariff bill could not possibly bo taken up this week , as the senate would probably adjourn from Thursday till Monday and probably the Idaho bill would not bo disposed of this week. Tlio report having been read , the Idaho bill was temporarily laid aside and tlio agricul tural appropriation bill taken up. There are a few amendments. Mr. COKO moved to add to the paragraph for Investigating the history mid habits of insects $2r > .000 for investigating the history of und middles for the cotton ball worm. Agreed lo. The bill Ihen passed. A further conference was ordered on the logislutivo appropriation bill on tlio amend ment to Increase the pay of the senators' clerks. The Idaho bill was resumed and Mr. Cul lom addressed Ino sonalo In Us favor. Ho said the Idaho and Wyoming bills were roporlod from the committee 0:1 : territories out of n soaso of duty to the pcoplo of these territories and of tlio United Stales , Tlio commllteo was charged with seeking political advantage because it had not ulo retried the bills for the admis sion of Arizona und New Mexico. Ho was ivuunxl that the senate committee was enr ttroly Innocent In the matter , The fact was that tbo comudttoo bud scarcely bucu asked to report a bill for the admission of cllhcr of Ihoso territories. Neither of them had pro- senlcd llscl tin such a manner as to justify the committee in placing them alongside Wy oming and Dakota. The bill having been laid aside , tlio house joint resolution continuing the annual appro priations thirty days after the close of the fiscal year ( if the appropriation hills do not then become n law ) was reported by Mr. Al lison and passed.

There are Ihreo political parlies nowfighling for supremacy In Chill Iho republicans , the democrats and the social ists. Tlio regular clccllon for president and other offices takes place next autumn , and from Iho oxlsllng slalo of affairs great fears are entertained that the present smouldering dissatisfaction will burst into n blaze of revo lution before the end of the year. Signer Halmacodn , republican , Is now president of Chili , and although there is nn effort being made by his party lo have him renominatcii , ho stands little if any chance of re-election , us under his administration the pros perity of the country has declined and exchange is now quoted nt only 3 ltf pence. Valparaiso is the center of the revolt against the existing govoni'iient and the democratic party will probably curry the stato. On May -JO , in the Plaza Victoria of Vulpariso , a great democratic demonstra tion was held ut which revolutionary speeches wcro made and the pcoplo became HO excited and wrought up over their alleged wrongs that n mob proceeded to the house of the in- tendcnt of Valparaiso , and after badly wreck ing it attempted to murder its occupants and was only prevented by the arrival of troop * , which succeeded in dispersing the mob and making n few arrests , but on account of the sympathy between the soldiers' and rioters , the ring-leaders escaped , In the counlry town , and especially in Iho mining districts , whore large i imbjrs of Immigrants are em ployed , disturbances are reported in which several wcro killed. This condition of affairs seems to bo duo in a great part to tlio Immi gration to Gldll of thousands of ignorant for eigners , who wcro deluded into venturing there by wonderful tales told of Iho cllmalc und resources of Hie country.
