The Veto Message.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The customary ad.
iournment of the House upon the announce
ment of the death of Representative Clark
prevented the reading Of the Presidents veto
message at the capital to-day, but since its
publication in the evening newspapers 1t has
been the all-absorbing topic of conversation
in Washington political circles, and has
given rise to much feeling. Republicans are
universally delighted with the message, and
generally regard that in point of ability and
effective presentation of the position which
they intend to stand before the country, it
has far exceeded their expectations. The
Democrats insist that the Presidents argu-
ment, denying the necessity of any further
legislation to prevent military interference
with elections, is not conclusive, but that on
the contrary it is evasive of the merits OF the
main question involved in the pending bill.

ious, there being great diversity of opinion
as to the proper steps to be taken. The fact

some sustaining the veto, others opposing it,
