The T1ibune's Washington special
says: The friends Of Hendricks say he
will soon arrive in Washington and
use his influence to induce the House
to pass the bill repeating the Specie
Resumption act. They state that
Hendricks will not publish his formal
letter of acceptance until after the
House shall have taken soine definite
action on this subject, and if it shall
vote to repeal he will make a very
prominent feature OF that action in his
letter of acceptance. 1t is by no means
certain, however. that it is within the
power Of the House to repeal the Re-
sumption Act unless the Republicans
shall enter into a conspiracy with
Democrats To enable them to do this.
