Democratic Disappointment.
There is very general disappointment
among the Democrats at the non-ap-
pearance of Tilden's letter ofacceptanct.
this morning, and there are many con
lectures as to whether any further hisch
has occurred between Tilden and Hen
bricks, necessitating a further delay in
making their letters public. The DEM
ocratic leaders are fast recognizing the
fact that It is impossible to bring the
Tilden and Hendricks men in the House
together, except on the basis Of repeal
ing the resumption act. There is no
harmony existing. The action of two
Democratic representatives, Hewitt and
Odell, yesterday. in leading the filibus-
tering movement to prevent any action
on Mr.. Bland's silver bill, to which Mr..
Holman intended to get in an amend
ment repeating the resumption act. has
greatly irritated the infiationist Demo-
Gratis, who charge that Tilden q behind
the scenes directing the fight AGAINST
the repeal act. Some Of the LEADING
Democrats utterly repudiate the story
that Hendricks has been convinced that
It Is for the interest of the party that he
should offer no opposition to the hard
money policy, and that he has decided
70 stand squarely ON this issue with
Iilden. They say that if Hendricks
shows the faintest signs of weakness he
VIII be thrown overheard by his own
friends in the west, and especially bv
his party in Indiana. There is great
anxiety on the part Of Hendricks'
friends to see his letter of acceptance,
and not a few persons here predict that
ITS appearance will certainly lead to
trouble In the Democratic camp.
Knocks for Knott.
The House has been all day a scene
OF interesting debate and great excite
ment on the matter of the Blaine in
vestigation. The speech made by Knott
was replied to with severity by Hale.
Frye, Hoar, McEnery and LaWrence'

judiciary committee and having sipned
