WASHINGTON, D. O., May l6.-The

The select democratic caucus advisory
committee met Immediately after
adjournment of the house and decided
that the democrats should adhere to their
determination to admit no amendment to
Potter's resolution and to persevere in the
present course until the resolution shall be
adopted and further that no public busi'
ness be transacted meanwhile.
WASHINGTON, May l6.-In an interview
yesterday, Secretary Sherman expressed
belief that the pending Potter resolution
was simply intended to manufacture
ammunition for the fall campaign, and not
aimed at the presidents title which is
irreferagibly established by law, which
must be abrogated before his title can be
assailed. He was in nowise moved by the
attempt made to assail himself, he had
acted from sense of duty as visitor to
New Orleans in the fall of 1876, and be
believed the result In Louisiana fell short
of justice to the republican ticket. The
democrats might pass their resolution and
then do their worst so far as he was con
cerned. He didn't fear them but defed
them and challenged the closest scrutiny
| of his acts.
