I'll December,
SECRETARY SHERMAN on THE SITUATION.
In conversation to-day, Secretary Sher.
man said that the action Of the Democrats
In Congress had united the Republicans
as they had not been united in len years.
He thought backdown on the part Of the
Democrats inevitable, although they might
6e able 70 postpone II month or two.
But It had to come in the nature OF things,
and this would throw upon that party the
responsibility for all the evils and expense
ot this extra session. All this could have
been avoided had they done on the 4th
Of March what they will be compelled to |
do sooner or later-pass the appropriation
bills. Referring to the threats made by
many Democrats that they would pass the
legislative and executive appropriation
billand not the army bill, and leave the
army to perish, the Secretary said that the
Republicans could not have O stronger
card to 20 before the country with. I'll
would be pointed out that the Democrats
In Congress had taken care to secure their
own pay, but had left the soldier, fighting
the battles Of his country on the frontier, |
to starve. With such an issue before the
country, there would not be much left Of
the Democratic party.
RESULT or KING CAUCUS.
The Democrats are still waiting for
something to turn up, and spending the
intermediate time in eliminating one
another for the responsibility OF the pre-.
sent predicament. From feeling already |
developed it is almost certain there will |
be plain talk in the next caucus, and some |
OF the leaders are casting about for plan |
to avoid caucus, but it is impossible.
Several members are loaded up to the |
muzzle with speeches, and the next eau
Gus will serve as an escape valve.
The more the situation in all its ramili-
cations dawns upon the Democrats the
more puzzled they are to know what to |
do. They dare not even report the Army
Bill from the committee, as it is now al
most certain that it twould pass, as enough
Democrats will vote with the Republicans
and Greenbackers to carry it, and the
longer delayed the stronger will become
the opposition from the more liberal Dem.
