Documents to be Circulated.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The Democratic
Congressional committee established itf
headquarters In the rooms OF the Committee
on Military Affairs Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, and Is now actively engaged II
sending into Maine and Ohio political litera
| ture issued to the voters Of those States
Two speeches which are being extensively
sent are the constitutional arguments made
| by Representative Carlisle, Of Kentucky, and
Representative J. r. Tucker, Of Virginia.
1t is noticeable that while the Republican
Congressional Committee do not attach az
much importance to the constitutional argu.
ments delivered on the army bill as to the po-
lftical speeches, that the Democrats, on the
other hand do this, keeping up their repute as
party, holding the great instrument In con
Istant awe.
Theincisive speech delivered by Hon. Frank
Hurd, during the last days OF the session, has
been largely subscribed for by Democrats,
country regardless OF any impending State
campaign. Another speech which seems to
be considered q good document Is that de-
1ivered BY Senator Wallace on the army bill.
II LIZ
bill Is being extensively sent into Maine, and
will later be circulated In goodly numbers In
Ohio The speech Of Mr.. Blackburn, wherein
he says: He who dallies is q bastard, and
sought after, but It will be utilized later along
Fin State campaigns In the South. Senator
i iThurman's s speech, as well as those OF Bayard
and Beck, are called for the Maine Democrats,
and goodiy supply will 60 off to that State
| this week.
Senator ELL s speech defining the powers Of
| the President and Congress, Is also in demand,
and leading Democrats say 1t is the ablest OF
the series OF speeches on that subject de-
Iivered.
| During the special session short speeches,
made BY Greenbaekers, who all deprecate the
sectional Issue and hoped for financial legisla-
tion, have been culled out OF the Record, re-
printed IL pamphlet form and will be sent
| into Ohio in large quantities.
l Gen. Ewing was at the rooms OF the COM
mittee to-day. He said the Campaign Demo-
cratic Executive Committee had decided to
| circulate the leading speeches made during
pers, It being thought this way would insure
| more general reading. Still, the plan OF send
ing political matter in pamphlet form will be
| kept up.
