WARRINGTON, D. c., Jan. 31.-MorriAou'a
TsriH bill has excitol much comment, and may
hep tho Democrats to turn discussion In dif-
feront direction. Tho bill las boon In Tropara-
ton Tor several weeks. Morrison has had tho MD
Of David 4. Wells, an official OF the Treasury,
and Of Pcarce Merchant, Of tho Now York
World. 1t a the purpose Of tho Democrats to
maka this bill a donnltivo policy, to force It
through tho House, and to compel the. nepub-
licau Senate to pasa on or rcject it. From what
can he loatnod Of tho real wishes OF tho
Democratic leaders tboy hopo that tho
Benato will rojcct It. Its rejection,
they think. would inuro to their own
political advantage, It Ia beloved that 1t will
secure tho support Of Western aud goutlern
Democrats, except some from North Ohio and
hli:higso, aud nthe intention is tu forco II
through as d party measure.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS AnE rUnIoEF,
and tAroateu ao1tonB trouble. Ihoy say 1t is
equigalant to tho Democracy abandoning their
state Presidential contest Tho coal mon Of
Maryland arc also disgusted, mud they daciarc 1t
will give Western Mar5laud again to tho
Republicans. Tho Atlantic coast Rc-
publican Senators who hnvo examined
tic bill say TINT 1t ia designed
entirely for campaign PURPOSES, and has been
prepared without any expectation that It will be-
COMO q law. 1t has, tLsy say, ouough OF the
recommendations Of tho President and Secretary
Ds!atow to uako It popular with tho party In tho
Wost. They think tho bill is intended only aa q
taxi for spoochcs.
