the parties. The harl-money element in the Sem
ate will favor Randall for Speaker.
The Greenback men are making great display
of confidence. They talk as if both of the other
parties were in the minority, and they assume that
they will organize the House a matter of course.
They do not as yet receive credit for having any of
that courage and endurance which cause men Of
deep conviction to stand together for principles
sake against all opposition. In fact, quite mum
Der of them are already regarded az quite open to
available trades. General Butler. w. ID. Kelley and
General Ewing are among their volunteer guardi-
ans Butler Is bent on holding them together.
Kelley thinks he, a Republican. can secure their
votes, and Ewing is credited with believing that he
can prevail upon them to act with the Democrats.
The feeling of the Republicans is that so far as
the prompt performance of public business of the
House is concerned 1t is important to the country
that Randall should be reelected. but in party
sense they will rejoice to SEQ the Democrats make
the bundcr of trying a man ut this critical
time in the life of their party In the organization
of the Senate both the Democratic National and
the Congressional Committees are to take part,
and the majority of them are in favor
of assuming to dictate who shall fill the
principal Senate Offices. This movement is re-
gardcd by some as covering an intrigue for Tildcn
to offset Bavards influence as well as that OF bur
man. The matter is already raising lively alter
cation. The Republicans will be thoroughly united
IN both branches, and there is strong hope that
both the President and the Republican minority in
each House will work cnergeically together and
present a solid front to opposition.
In view Of the fact that the Democrats have
forced an extra session upon the Issue of repeating
all laws providing for honest elections, and that
their leading issue at tho coming session must be
the same there viii he very strong, if not unani-
NOUS sentiment brought TO bear on the President
by the Republicans to induce him 10 veto every ap-
preparation bIl that comes TO him loaded down
with the political amendments which those that
failed contained. In fact, one cousdcra-
ton winch led to fixing the date OF the session
only two weeks off instead of four. was at first
contemplated, was that time might be given TO pass
more than set of appropriation bills inrdse 1t
should become necessary before the beginning OF the
next fiscal year. The strongest Republicans wlltavor
repeated vetocs of the appropriation bills
if they are found necessary 10 defeat
the dishonest legislation which Democrats are
beat upon forcing through, and they Will also
support the President, if worst comes 10 worst, III
closing those departments OF the public service Tor
which the Democrats may refuse To make appTO-
priations uncoupied with revolutionary legislation.
There are some Republicans who desire the Presl-
dent IN his message to Congress to so far as to
make known his views, upon the very threshold of
the new session. concerning the adding of such leg
slation as appeared in those bills which have just
failed.
