THE WAR UPON 7HE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
PARTIEs-THE SENATE FIRM-AFPARENT DESIRE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-sPM
The friends of the administration are using every effort
backed the direct assistance of the administration
ITSELF to prevent the Senate resolution with regard the
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury from passing unless
amended asto leave its operation prospective Every
expedient has been adopted to delay the vote to
give time for and already several members
getting quite shAky. There Is really little inds-
pendence in the House, that 1t Ia possible the mend
ment will be carried although there for
any va smsndmsnt, % and pretty asht may w yet be- had.

The great argument used by the friends of the
administration to prevail upon Independent mem
bers to go on quietly In the House is, that
whist the policy of the administration in the matter of
appointments and the reading of the Baltimore plat
form is oonfessedy bad, still nothing can be gained BY
opposition and, besides opposition bs made

sdent in his message Besides Is urged that the wings
accused the Of having deserted the great
principle which carried the last Presidential escion and
when at home nearly every democratic member repudi
ated the idea that such the and however true
it may be, it will to confess by their acts
