Mr. DEAR Mn. SPRINGER Il have heard
with good deal of chagriu that you have
some doubts as to the expediency of adopting
the report of the subcommittee to seat Mr.
Donnelly. Not to do this WILL knor, leave
you open to the severest criticism. and give
color of truth to reports which Washburn' :
friends have most unguardedly set a1oat
The Importance of the matter. as il may de
yelop, in regard 10 the next election of Presi-
dent. makes every democrat anxious to see
the State saved. now that we can legally and
properly do it, to the democracy. The whole
case is before our friends in New York, and
upon the assurances which have gathered
from what you said to me, | have told them
that the report could be adopted and Mr.
Donnelly would be seated at once. cannot
believe that you will now fail to make this
good. Among the hundreds of letters which
come to me, there is not one in which the
matter has not been urged to completion.
when there has been any mention of it. and it
is as much a matter of general political
interest rs any of which they write to me. |
am convinced that neither YOU nor the Dem
ocratic Congress can afford to disappoint our
friends in this matter. | am presumed to
know, and do know, how much weight ought
to be given TO the paid democratic detractors
of Donnelly, and to the mcrcenary quasi
democratic defenders of Washburr's bribery
Ii is not enough that Washburu should he
deprived of his seat, but tina, the wishes of
the voters, As legally expressed. should be re-
garded and indicated. and tl.sv demand that
their chosen Representative should be seat

now would be only 10 invite the investment
of large sum of radical money to be eNpcnd-
ed there. and this would be done without
stint, The worst elements of the party would
be set to work their, and the result would be
disaster to us. The high character of the
members of the subcommittee, too, would
seem TO be impugned should the
report fail of unanimous adoption
by the democrats. and trust
that such IS not the case. Pardon what may
seem like Interference in this matter. still
hold the closest and MOST confidential rela-
tions to those who are. perhaps. personally
most to be affected by your decision in this
matter, aud l speak in that capacity when
write this. and urge upon you prompt and de-
cisive action in this vital matter: and NAV
add that it reaches further even than have
intimated, and will. both immediately and re-
motely. affect US all, beyond what can now be
apparent to you. l beg leave to add.
