The defeat of the late compromise
Finance bill In the House which had
passed the Senate, was the work Of
Democracy. A Democratic mem.
Der of the Conference Committee,
Clymer OF Pennsylvania, arose in
his place in the House and said
the bill was gotten up to relieve
the Republicans from the responsibili.
ty of the financial situation and to
help them out of their troubles. This
gave the Democracy their cue. 1t
would not do to have any improve
ment of the financial situation; 1t
would not do that the clsmors of the
people should in any way be stopped
on this question; II would not do to
let the Republicans enact law to sat-
isfy the demands of the hour, even If
the constituency of democrats alike
with thoss of Republicans made the
demand. for il such . thing was done
the Republican party would be bcne-
fitted a. well - the people. So we
have tho democracy stulnfying their
sentiments, disregarding the wishes
and demands of their constituency,
and insisting that chaos shall continue
to reign in regard to the finances, in
order that they might curse the re-
publican party for It. They may
make this sharp game win, but we
rather think not. We arc aware that
their democratic constituency are not
the most intelligent, but wo rather
guess Republican farmers upon whose
backs they are seeking to ride into
power by pretended friendship for
them, eau see thing or tw0-at least
sufficient to discern rascality at 10
short q range % this act of democratic
Congressman presents. These emf
nent Democrats Congressional refor.
mers, like Nero of old, would fiddle
while Rome burned, rather than see
their own constituents demands an.
swered, If thereby would como any
benefit to the Republican party. We
wonder II this is not Why they did
mot want the rsbellion put down.
Probably these pure democratic refor.
mers will pursue the same policy with
the new financial bill yesterday passed
by the Senate. :
We clip from the Inter- ocean the
