Curses not Loud but Deep


From an Appeal Correspondent.
CHICAGO. December lG.-Ben Hills reply to
Wood and Springer, in the Democratic eauoa3 AZ
Washington, is denounced By the Democrats here IN
bitter TERMS and in fact, the course of the southern
Democratic members OF the house, as being sort OF
careless as TO who will be President, or, in other
words not showing such an inclination to lnaugu-
rate Tllden and resist the Inauguration OF Hayes as
the northern Democrats do, has brought down curses
loud and deep on all southern Democrats. This
feeling does not appear in print; nevertheless IL ex-
lists II can be heard In all places where you hnd
Democrats talking on the subject. There Is another
subject that is receiving good deal OF attention
from all parties namely, the story going the Iounds
