The opposition here fully admit that the
Republican party in Congress are a unit up
on all prominent measures.
They move with solid columns and with
not the slightest indication OF any break in
either House.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says accurate estimates OF the
strength Of the conservatives IN the Senate
have been made. The result lie that there
are not votes enough to sustain the PIosi-
dents vote Of any party measure. Under these
circumstances even the Tennessee Senator's
are as far from representation as ever. The
Republicans are daily gaining more conf
denee IN the favorable disposition Of the
President towards their pending measures.
