A change has come over the spir-
its of the Democrats in Congress,
and now they say they will pass the
appropriation bills, without any
more fooling. On this subject the
Oregonian explains as follows:
What caused democratic change
of front is now very well known. In
the first place too much was presumed
on the easy good nature Of the pres
ident. They thought they could
drive him into an approval of their
legislation, since he would prefer
this to a struggle with congress.
this led them on, and they soon
found themselves in grave difficulty
through their miscalculation. Veto
followed veto. Then it was declared
by the democratic leaders that if the
president didn't yield there should
be no appropriations, the army
should perish and the government
should starve. At this juncture the
brigadiers and their allies began to
hear from the country. Alarmed
for their political safety some Of
them began to talk of backing out.
this scared the rest and there was a
panic. A scheme to organize a bolt
from the dictation of caucus and take
away enough members to pass with
the aid of republicans) the appropria-
tons without any conditions what
ever, began to make its appearance.
AT this and other aspects of the sit
uatiou Thurman took fright. In a
speech in the midnight conference
Of the democratic committee Of safety
he came to the front with speech
in which he said with great empha.
sis that Of course the appropriation
bills must be passed; that it would
be disastrous to the democratic party
to refuse them; that the army must
be maintained, and its necessary sup
plies voted. and that he should favor
the passage of the appropriation
bills under any circumstances. This
was a radical change of front and
produced great surprise, as Thurman
was the leader oftbc starvation pol
icy and originator of the theory
that the way for the democrats to
win partisan victory was to with
hold supplies. After his surrender
there was general tumble. AS a
specimen of political strategy this
whole business has been the worst
ever witnessed Certainly the folly of
the starvation policy never was ex
ceeded except by the folly of the Sc
cession policy.
