WHY THE DEMOCRATS WILL WORK TO HAVE

fOlltlclans Whe hang around the city during

going to carry this or that state, and what
Congress is going 10 do at the next session,
and what IL is not going to do. One of their
predlc' ions has become pretty general talk.
and is made some what likely by the fact that
a nun her of democratic members of the

ter will be passed, SO that an ezra session

Minister Welsh and his daughter set out this
morning for Paris having brought to a con-

to explain to the prisoner why efforts had been
made IN bis behalf and to prepare him for the
unexpected boon of freedom. Condor ex.
pressed his gratitude for the kindness Mr.
Welsh had personally shown him and the in
terest the American minister had taken in his
case. Minister Welsh then assured the re-
leased convict that his liberation meant his
release with full provision for himself and his
family till all were united. The British Off
cials, too, lent what aid was in their power to
make the visit of the American minister emi-
nently satisfactory. The whole transaction
was decidedly a success, and shows how earn
