that the large majority OF the democratic members

was, he said, the policy Of the democracy In the
West and South. He said also that In his opinion

THE SENTIMENT OF THE LOBBY.
It is dif1cult to average the sentiments here in
respect to the veto message it being variously re-
garded, according rs the particular interests CEN
tring here are affected. There are no CONNER.
ctai interests OF surcent consequence to call out
an influential expression Of opinion; but as the
general welfare Of the city depends upon the con-
dttion OF the National Treasury ana its capacity
for disbursement there is tendency to regard an
imitation OF the currency IN the absence Of
redundant revenue as on the whole q local benefit.
One Of the consequences OF expansion not brought
into prominence by the discussion Of the vetoed
BILL but now confessed more freely s the facility
that would have been Afforded by the 81, 600, 600
addition to the legal tenders for meeting the pend
ing demands for government aid and expendi-
lures without an increase OF taxation. There
seems to be little doubt that II the bill had been
approved Congress would have been induced to
vote liberal appropriations out OF the 1000 900
for the Centennial, Tor District improvements, for
public works and buildings, principally In the West
and South; for steamship subsidies, for additions
to the mail service for continued explorations of
the Western Territories and for comprehensive
surveys and partial beginnings OF systems Of inter-
nal transportation development ana Improvement
Powerful combinations exist for the frtherance of
all these objects, but 1t seems TO be admitted that
II the $44,00Q000 are to retain the character
Of q reserve to be used only for emergencies and
called in as speedily as possible whenever drawn
upon, as indicated In the veto message these sew
eral sections will be curtailed and some Of them
entirely obliterated. Quite number Of votes are
understood to have been gained for the $500 600
section OF the bill Dy timely suggestions to men,
bers Of the benehc to be derived for their districts
ana for themselves by the liberal appropriations

patronage and service they might thereby COM
mand In aid Of their reelection to their seats next
fail Outside Of Congress and the lobby, however,
the feeling Of the large body OF employees OF the
government ID strongly with the President The
enect OF expansion upon liked salaries payable In
paper currency seems to have been shrewdly
calculated, and there Is . strong sense Of relief
from virtual decrease OF income among the sals-
rted class. sf
