WHY THE DEMOCRATS ACCEPT THE MEASURE.
E Washington Special to tho Uineiunat Enquirer,
The policy of the Democrats in sup
porting the measure should not be coz
strued as an indication that maiOrity
belonging to the party believe that the
bill ought to pass. They are confronted
with two dire contingencies: First. that
the Republican leaders, without such
compromise, woull fuTce Hayes into tn
Presidency; and, second, that if they
did, Don Cameron and the army weald
keep him there. unless, indeed, civil war
interviewed The country doesn't want
var, and the Democrats accept the bill
in the Interest Of peace.
DETECTION OF THE REPUBLICANs
Washington SpeeiaI to the Chicago Tribune.
The Republican opponents Of the bill
are detected and distressed at the change
it has already affected in the position Of
their party. Instead Of having the
upper hand in the struggle for the Presi-
deney, they feel that they are at disad-
vantage. If they accept the proposed
settlement they throw away " hat seemed
like a certainty, and what with irmness
and the unity of action might have b en-
made a certainty, for something that is
at most a toss-up between success and
failure. If they reject it, and it should
be st by their votes, then they will for
felt in some measure their holt upon
public opinion by refusing TO submit
Hayes claims to an apparently far tri
bunal They would, in such a case,
find that they had put new weapons into
the hands of the Democrats to resist the
carrying out the scheme to inaugurate
Hayes against the opposition of the
House. They remember with bitterness
their ready assent to the r solution for a
joint committee offered by a Republican
and Sustained by an almost unanimous
Republican vote.
