The President Misrepresented by secre
tary Evarts.
NEW YORK, March 28.-The Graphc's Washing-
ton dispatch says that it stated in the commit
tee appointed by the Democratic aucus to prepare
amendments to the election laws that the President
had given certain Democratic Senators assurances
that he would approve an appropriation bill con-
tanning similar notifications of the election laws to
those finally adopted by the caucus.
The President has denied this with the utmost
positiveness and further has given the Republicans
the most absolute assurances that he will assist them
to resist the repeal of these laws.
1t now appears that it was Secretary Evarts who
gave the assurances In the Presidents name and
continued to give them up to Wednesday night.
when he informed certain Democrats that the Presi-
dent had made up his mind not to approve any such
legislation. Mr. Evarts did not say to any one "The
President will do this that,' but as described by
the Democrats his utterance was. 81 take the re-
sponsibty of assuring you that such and such meas
ures will meet with no opposition from the admins.
tration" and he suggested certain notifications Of
the proposed amendments SO to leave no doubt that
they would receive the Presidents signature.
