WASHINGTON, D. c., April >.
HOPE FOR THE SPRINGFIELD ARMoRERs.
The claim of the government workmeu for
back pay for work rendered over eight hours
per day subsequent to the passage OF the eight
hour law, was heard by the senate committee on
appropriations this morning. Messrs. Dawes,
Banks and Hawley, members of the house, were
present and defended the claim Of the workmen
F. Chillingworth, Of Springfield, was also pres
ent as the special representative of the Spring
field armorers. 1t is understood that the COM
mittee will report the bill offered by Mr.. Dawes
in the house. Invested of the Farnsworth amend
ment, and there is considerable hope that the
senate will pass it,
THE CONTESTED ELECTIoNs-oNE CASE SET
tiled.
The house committee of elections this morn
ing decided the case of GOOding vs.. Wilson of
Indiana, by party vote. The contestant is a
democrat, and the sitting member is republic
can. The decision is in favor of the latter,
whose returned majority was only four votes.
1t is the first time that this committee has de-
cided on case before it by party lines. In
three preceding cases, the decision has been
unanimous in favor of the democrats
The attorney of Delarge, in the case of Bowen
vs.. Delarge of South Carolina, has entered a
motion to dismiss the case, on the ground that
when Bowen took Il seat in the South Carolina
legislature he, by that act, waived all claims to a
seat in congress. If the point shall turn out to
be well taken, it might dispose of Bowers
claims; but it could not prevent a decision in
regard to Delarge, who, it is charged, was
elected bya fraud. The people of the district
have the same rights as an individual CON
tcstant.

Speaking of the Cincinnati convention, the
New York Express says: "Ghe democrats are
warned to keep away, and we trust will keep
away. Let the convention be in the hands of
those who desire honest men in office and honest
men for office" The candor of the Express in
admitting that if the convention is to be in such
hands democrats must keep away is surprising
but commendable.

TIE EFFECT.

The democrats in congress are very silent
over the Connecticut election. Some of them
are ugly and cross at what they call the timidty
of the anti-Grant republicans, and they declare
thai the result shows that there is no vitality in
the Cincinnati movement in NewiEngland At
last everybody comedies that the result shows
the democrats, acting as party, have no posi-.
bic chance of defeating the regular republican
ticket, and most of the republicans here seem
to take it for granted that no combination can
be made to defeat that ticket.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The vote Of the house on tabling the senate
tariff bill was almost unanimous. All the
prominent members on both sides of the house
spoke in favor of the ways and means resolu.
ton, and some Of them with great deal OF feel
ing. Whether the vote will have any effect upon
the senate, is doubtful; for its members are
equally unanimous in pronouncing the position
of the house as indefensbe and ridiculous. 1t
is not probable, however, that the senate will
very soon again attempt to attach comprehen-
sible tax and tariff bill to a house bill contain
ing two items. SAM WELLER.
