How the Democrats Intend to
Beat the Republicans.
New York Tribune's interviewer. ]


= Correspondent: How are you go
ing to get over the school-question
pitfall which the Republicans are dig
ging in your path
Prominent Democratic Congress-
man: We shall undermine them Oy
putting the Blaine amendment
through the House right sfter the re-
cess. The Senate will then be in a
dilemma. Ifit votes the amendment,
it goes before the State Legislatures
this winter for ratification, and the
questio n is thus taken out of politics.
If the Senate rejects the amend
ment, then it goes to the country in
the canvass with the Democratic
branch Of Congress on record in fa-s
vor Of it and the Republican branch
opposed to it. So, you see, we are
not to be tripped up by the false is
sue our enemies are trying industri-
ously to raise. We intend to pass
Mr. RandalFs one-term amendment,
too, and let the Senate defeat it if
it dare Beaten by Republican votes,
it becomes a leading issue in the
campaign adopted, it is tall feath-
er in our caps. Nobody can say
that the Democratic House has done
nothing if it accomplishes the great
reform ofTestrieting the President
TO single term of six years.

But, Mr.. johnson had his Friends
and admirers. who adhered to him
through every vicissitude of his
political fortunes, and with the la
boring masses of the people Of the
country perhaps no public man. of
his day had more influence and
power than did he. He was one OF
them knew their wants, and SYM
pathized with their struggles.
The life of Andrew johnson is an
example of the lasting fame that
surely awaits the honest statesman.
His unswerving integrity; his bold.
inSIependeut and candid declaration
of bis opinioa on public questions;
his confidence in the people, and the
absence of disguise in all his acts
were his master-key to the popular
heart. The country was never in
debt as to his opinions and purposes

and victorious or defeated, he re
NAMED firm in his belief. In all the
contests OF his time his position on
great public questions was as clear
as the sun in cloudless sky.
Sirs, Standing by the grave OF
Andrew johnson, and looking back
over the history of his life and con-
lsidering these things, how insight
cant and Contemplate appear the
labor and ambition of the mere poll.
tician |! What reproach is his life
on that false policy which would
triie with great people IF we're
to write the epitaph Of Andrew
johnson, i would inscribe on the
stone which shall mark his resting
place, as the highest, eulogy. "Here
lies the man who was in the public
service for forty years, who never
tried to deceive his countrymen and
died, as he lived, san honest man,
the noblest work of God" While
the youth of America should initiate
his noble qualities. they may take
courage from The example, and note
the high proof it affords that under
our equal institutions the avenues to
the highest position are open alike
to all. e.s... ss
Mr. johnson rose by the force of
his own, genius, indomitable will
and untiring energy. unaided by
power prestige or wealth. At an
age when our young men arensually
in pursuit of education at institution
of learning, he in ignorance and
poverty. made his way from the
sOld North State" toward the West
and amid the rude collisions incident
to East Tennessee at that day, COM
menced his early struggle, and in
less than fifty years matured char
acter the highest exhibitions of
which were destined to mark eras
in his country's history. Beginning
in the mountains of East Tennes-
see in 1926, brought into antagonism
with the power, influence, and wealth
of old citizens of the country. sur
ported by the consciousness of
his own power and by the confidence
of the people. he surmounted all the
barriers of adverse fortune and won
a glorious name in the annals of his
country.
Let the generous youth fired with
an honorable ambition. remember
that our American system Of gov
ernment offers on every hand and
opens wide the doors of the most
exalted position and the grandest
reward to merit. II, like Andrew
Johnson, orphanage. obscurity, and
poverty shall oppress him; yet, like
him. he feels the Promethean spark
within. let him remember that his
country. like a generous mother,
opens wide her arms to welcome
every one of her children whose
genius may promote her, prosperity
or add to her renown. Mr.. Speaker
| offer the following resolutions:
ReSOLged, That the House Of Rep
resentatives of the United States
has received with the deepest sensi-
bility and profound sorrow. intelli-
gence of the death of the Hon. An
drew Johnson, late a Senator from
the State of Tennessee, ex-President
of the United States, and long a
member of this body.
ResolUed, That the proceedings Of
this House in relation to She death
of the Hon. Andrew johnson be
communicated to the widow and
family of the deceased by the Clerk
of this House.
ResolUed, That as further mark
of-respect for the memory of the
deceased, this House do now adjourn.

think there is no doubt that erroneous ideas

in Londo and the British provinces have
something to do with Servia's extremely cava-
iier treatment of the proposal for an extension
of the armstice. Gen. Tchernayeff's opinion
is also of great weight.
A significant fact is that representatives at

abstained from supporting the Turkish propos.
