SAMPLES OF DEMOCRATIC TALK IN PUBLIC IN
wAsmNGToN-THE TONE OF THE PARTY IN
PRIVATE NOT COMBATIvE.
IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBUSEl
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Proctor Knott expresses
the opinion that there will be no compromise. He
thinks it possible that in the Of two three
weeks after the veto of the Legislative bill Congress
may take recess until November. He does not
think that the President would dare to call Congress
together should recess be taken and if call should
be issued he thinks possible that the House would
refuse TO assemble.
General Chalmers. of Mississippi, thinks that the
Democratic position strengthened by the veto Of
the Army BILL and that the Republicans can never
stand upon the record they have made before the
people. He thinks Congress will now enter into
general legislation and remain here q long time.
Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, said that he could only
speak for himself He deprecated the policy which
had brought the party TO its present attitude butt
being there he was in favor of fighting il out until
Congress should expire by constitutional hmita-
ton. He said the Southern men are generally OF his
opinion, and if such thing as back-down should
occur, it would receive its first Endorsement from
Democrats of the North.
Senator Wallace said tonight that the talk of q
compromise was not warranted by any facts, and
that the Democrats would make none. They do
not, he said, intend to back down. #. however, he
added, the President would sign tn bill by making
some notifications, the Democrats might change
the bill, but they will never surrender.
The above are illustrations Of the opinions which
Democrats are willing to express in public.
On the other hand however, large number Of
them have privately said within week that their
party leaders had made a gross mistake, which
would cost the party dearly in future elections, and
that dlscrcditable surrender is inevitable.
A Democratic Senatorial caucus has been called
for tomorrow morning the purpose being to formu-
late q line of action TO he supported by the Sena.

exception of Mr.. Lowe, would support an apprO:

that he never stand before the country on such
an issue as that II his opinions this point are
correctly expressed In the message, they declare
that he wOud be bound 30 sign the bill unless there
able. The President cannot veto bill. they say,
because it contains an unnecessary provision
to which he has no objection per Sc. The
Democrats also attack that part of the. Presi:
riders TO appropriation bills, and say that
that is matter with which the President has 10
business. He must deal with measures that are
sent to him, they insist, on their merits. and not
with the method in which they are passed by Con-
gress. All of these points will probably be dis
cussed at length If the Democrats fsaiy conclude
to have discussion upon the veto message.
