New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-05-07
Our Washington Letter.

i
clearly discerned the suicidal tendency
of the Democrats have concluded
that the best way is not to offer any
obstacle to their introducing their
measures to promote the agitation Of
the financial question and other sub.
jects calculated to disturb the quiet
Of the country, are now beginning
to anticipate rich harvest Of Demo.
cratic blunders. A food Of wild
schemes is pending and through
them the country will learn the peri.
lous possibilities Of the Democratic
policy. With this prospects the
Republicans have further prepared
for vigorous campaign this summer
by appointing the following execu..
tive committee Of the Congressional
Committee lately organized:
Messrs. Hubbell, Of Mich, Chair.
man; Rollins, of NH; Hiscock of N.
Y.;Fisher, Of Pa; Jorgenson, ofVa.;
Allison, Of Iowa; Orth, Of Ind. Nc
kinley, Of Ohio; Davis, Of Ills. and
Dunnell, Of Mimi. ASec'y. will be
chosen at once and work will begin
in very few days.
The second bill of the session to
be passed finally was the Army bill
yesterday, which now awaits the
decision of the President. It passes
with all the Democratic clauses at.
tached and with a solid Republican
vote against them in both Houses,
and the President can do no less than
refuse to endorse the iniqnity and a
ringing message Of disapproval will
be the best state paper Of his admin
istration. No ADLER speeches were
ever made against an Objectionable
measures than have been made by
Republicans against this one, and
those speeches were full of meat for
campaign documents or state papers.
The Presidents veto will place the
Democrats in bad box. What will
they do about it! They have per.
ceptibly weakened in the last few
days upon the line of starving the
Govt. to surrender. Idon't believe
they can rally the faithful to that
point, for it would be the loss of al.
most every Congressional district in
the North. The only other thing is
a square back down. There is moth.
ing in politics so dangerous and
weakening as a back down. and the
poor exec Moderate leaders are in a
dilemma, which portends defeat pref.
ty certainly next year.
| Senator Window, OF Minnesota,
yesterday did very neat and
adroit thing and fairly endorsed the
Confederates in their position on the
Army bill. He offered this amend
ment to the Democratic clause pro.
hibiting troops at the polls.
