tition for campaign pnrnnses The rnles rrescribe
that " when the Senate and House of Represent
atives shall Judge it proper to make joint adj
dress to the President it shall he presented to him
in his audience chamber by the President Of the
Senate in the presence of the Speaker and both
houses" Whether this will be perpetrated or not
depends somewhat upon the amount of wrath
which will be left after all these measures are put
| through and each veto received
| Meanwhile the soft money men are anxious to
pass free coinage silver bill and let the Presi-
dent veto that. With this the democrats believe
they will have something with which to 90 before
| the country in the next campaign Silver meas
ures have however, received but little encourage
ment in the House the past week. although con-
siderable tinkering has been attempted. In the
| Senate, weghty arguments have been made upon
the political legislation in the legislative appro-
| priation bill by Thurman, Eaton, Herman and
| Voorhees,, and the old states-rights doctrine has
| received new impetus and n more radical inter
| probation than ever before The democratic SEN
ators have held the floor nearly all the week, have
| unloaded their snperiluous bile at the President
and proclaimed themselves to be the saviours of
| the country Next Monday Blaine leads off in
reply, and will be followed by other Republicans
