DEMOCRATIC RELIANCE ON OREGON-MOTlVE OF
THE COMPROMISE.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-The passage of the
Compromise bill has caused chan &c OF programme with
the Democrats After "a conference between Mr. Hewitt
and other members Of the National Democratic Com
mittee has determined TO revoke the call for
meeting OF the National Committee in this city Oh FEB
MI Hewitt says that the adoption of the Compromise
bin by so decisive majority in both houses of Congress
removes ali occasion for National Convention. Tho
Democrats feel that any expression of opinion through
National Convention would pre- udice their cause as the
Democratic representatives almost masse haze com
Inited themselves full acceptance OF the Compro-
T. bill and the decision OF the tribunal, whatever that
may be.
The chief danger Gov Hayes lies according TO some
in the Oregon returns. and according to others in the
Florida returns There is not as much fear OF the LOuis
ana VOTE because it is believed that the legal and
jurisdiction OF the Returning Board in that state are I'M
assaabe but is not clear that the Florida Board dd
not travel outside OF It's authority The Democrats Will
make a strong effort 10 have only Two Hayes votes
counted from oregon III order to make the result tie
and throw the election into the House Republicans do
not however believe that the commission will be SO I'M
fai, as TO decide that HAYES loses vote III Oregon
on account Of Nattss Disqualification, knowing mat the
same rule would cost Tllden vote III NewJeiScy'
another in Virginia and third in Missouri, could the
cases in those States be reached The commission can
aOplV the 10 Inc IntiDc
because there are double returns from those states
and il might not therefore in justice apply Ii 10 the
Oregon case.
The Compromise bill will receive the signature OF the
President in ample time enable it 10 into operation
