WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO.
What Is Said OF the Future Plans OF Demo-
crats-Withhoiding Supplies.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-As soon as the
debate upon the veto is finished a caucu
will be called by the Democrats to decide
upon plan Of action for the future. Exclu-
sive Of the Greenbackers. the Democrats will
have majority In the House OF only half a
dozen members. Unless every Democrat will
stand square up to the principle contended
for by the party. an ignomnious backing down
will be the result. There is undoubtedly very
largo majority Of the Democrats In favor Of
Withholding supplies until grievances arc re-
dressed. The veto does not make 1t possible to
pass the sixth section OF the Army bill as n sep.
arate measure. 1t would certainly be veto cd
Consequently the party must stand or fall on
the direct issue presented.
Within the past few days It is thought that
signs OF Weakening on the part OF some Do mo-
Gratis have been visible. The party leaders be
lieve that the direct manner in which tho ques-
tion is now presented will strengthen the back
bone Of the yielding brethren. In a struggle
for the liberties Of the people the personal de-
sires OF individuals for an adjournment Of Con-
Rress will scarcely be considered" said one
Democrat to-day. Messrs. Carlisle. Morrison
Singleton Of Illinois. Manning. Singleton Of
Mississippi. Cofrroth. and others express them
selves as determined to fight until tho 4th OF
March. 1884, for free elections II such tight is
