WASHINGTON, January 28. :.
The Democrats In Congress having decided
by q large majority last week that It would
be better to postpone definite action upon ma
tlonal political subjects until probably some
time in February, In order that they mlsnt
have the benefit of the further deVeiopmenG 9l
The plans of the Republican leaders Tor consld-
Ell. tion, the minority OF that Democratic eau
cns believing that the delay will be Injurious;
and that immediate action should be had
by some Democratic organization, lnclnolnS
Representatives from all parts OF tne unlteo
States, have prevailed upon the national De m
ocratic resident Congressional committee. to
hold meeting on Tuesday next, for general
consultation upon the situation. This organ
izatlon is composed of members OF Congress-
and prominent Democrats, citizens oil WASH
ington. The general sentiment OF Democrats
in Congress Is yet opposed to organized &C.
tion, and they are encouraged to persist IN
this stand for few weeks longer, oy tue ln-
formation received here that, throughout The
West and Northwest, there Is movement
going on among the Conservative R'publ-
cans to secure The adoption ola platform, In
its features resembling that Of the Missouri
Conservative Republicans, adopted some
days ago. -
the German naturalized voters Will be given
to party whose creed shall resemble the
Missouri platform. The approval OF the Ger,
man Association In Cincinnati, announced
In the papers last week, is but the forerunDer
of others yet 10 come In that State, In Illinois,
Wisconsin,, Missouri, New York and other
States where the German population Is very
large, and hold the balance OF power, when
united, to carry those States. There Is en-
couragement 10 believe that almost the entire
German vote In those States will follow the
example of Senator Schurz, who has un-
eouiyocally said heretofore, and reiterated II
within tew days, that he proposed to fight
the corrupt managers of the Radical party
within the ranks Of the party itself. This Is
the position, likewise, of Senator Trumbuli,
who says he does not intend to Join
the Democratic party as party, Dut IL ls
known he will be found In hearty cooperation
with the Reform Republicans, and the
problem with these gentlemen, Is how TO
utilize the various opposition elements. In
Guiding the Democratic party. 30 as 10 orlng
about compact cohesion Of them for the
overthrow OF the rulers who are destroying
the Republican party. These facts are among
the things which some of the Democrats here
are eager to consult upon, and propose a
means of securing the handin-hand work of
all opponents OF the present administration,
and to suggest in an address, probably 10 the
country at large, the mode by which they be-
lleye the desired end can be accomplished.
Upon an examination of the statistics and
consultation with the Illinois politicians, 1t is
found that The German vote Of that State. II
very generally cast with the Conservative Re-
publicans, and having the aid Of the Demo-
Gratis, would undoubtedly defeat General
Grant If nominated. A like result Is found In
Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and
Missouri.
