WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. - While most of the
Democrats have boen out of town to-day
attending the races in Baltimore, the Repub
licans have been busy caucusing to see if they
cannot devise some general line OF harmonious
action. They are industriously circulating re-
ports OF gratifying progress Ind Of Hayes dis
position to make large concessions but when
pressed Tor details Of the harmonious pro-
gramme they cannot give any, whereas ] have
from Mr.. Hayes himself the strongest intima-
tion that he has not been consulted as to the
surrender which he is said to be readyto make
besides this. the hostile tenor Of the Senate's
treatment of omioations thus far has unmis-
takably reused the
StubbDrnness Of the President,
arfA If he was In as eonciiiatory mood as
was last week represented by the anxious Radi-
calls. he has now recovered and is likely to be
troublesome just In proportion rs he is crowded.
Neither is he pleased with the fashion the Radi-
eals have OF holding him exclusively to blame
Tor the recent party reverses. as they do in all
conversations and in caucus, and altogether the
signs OF "a
Radical Row
have increased In the last few days, and when 1t
once begins the truce In the Senate. which pro-
duoed the solid party vote on the reference Of
ten minutes
Ben Butler, the other night, In small caucus,
tried to sound the keynote of harmony by say
ing. Hayes is not worth duarreltng over. Let
us ignore him and see If we cannot repair the
Republican party without him" But this key
note did not meet with q res ponsive echo and
Ben subsidized. Meanwhile the Democrats In
the Senate have resolved to let things drift for
flew days and watch the doings Of the adversa-
ry. None of the nominations recently sent in
will be Immediately acted on. and the Demo-
crafts will In the interim use their voting power
in the Senate as wedge to keep III Iyes and the
Republicans split asunder.
Mr.. Hayes insi- is that he intends to remove
Cornell In New York. and the only reason why
he delays is because he does not want to give
the Radicals pretext for saying that he tried
to weaken the Republican party on the eve Of an
election: but Cornell will be removed as soon
as the election is over no matter whether the
State goes Republican or Democratic. If Hayes
adheres to this determination no earthly power
can longer stave off the rupture between him
and Conkling. and when this once begins the
Democrats may dictate their own terms at once,
for Conkling will have it out regardless Of con-
sequences to the party or to himself.
This Turn of Affairs
causes our people to take q more hopeful view
of the chances Of spofford. Eustis and utler.
Notwithstanding that the Republicans on the
Election Committee op My avow their int. ntion
to report in favor of Kellogg.
Nothing new as to the colectorship. except
that Packard's chances are growing all tue time.
