THE DEMOCRATIC KEYNOTE.
CHICAGO, February 17th.-The Inter
| Oceans Washington special says: The Dem
ocratic keynote for the approaching campaign
has at last been sounded in Congress, and the
Republicans are delighted to find that it is a
| revival of the old cry under which their op-
ponents Numbered through the extra session,
and lost the fall election last year. 1t has
been evident for some time that the leaders of
the majority in the House had dete rmined to
make a desperate fight on the question of re-
tanning power to put "riders on appropria-
ton bills, and to-day Frank Hurd, of Ohio,
announced the party programme in a brief
but powerful speech, which was attsntively
heard. Warner, Of Ohio. who introduced
the amendment which was adopted last
Thursday, partially breaking down the old
system, had only minute or two for reply, in
| which he secured the repeated applause of the
whole Republican side by depouncing, unqual-
ihedly the whole doctrine of the redress Of
grievances which Hurd had just defended.
| The first vote was taken on the amendment
proposed by Speer of Georgia, that it should
not be in order to change the existing law on
appropriation bills except to reduce expenses.
The young Georgian was supported IN this
stand by the whole Republican side, nearly
all the Greenbackers, and FELTON, and Ste
| phens of Georgia, Taylor and Whitthorne of
Tennessee, and Mills of Texas, but by dill
geut work the Democratic leaders managed
to score a bare majority against him, the vote
standing 12l to 10 Two other amendments
of the same general character were voted
down. The fight will be renewed after the
| Committee of the Whole reports to the House,
and the Democrats will have hard work to
stave off the amendments.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 17th.-John g.
New was interviewed to-day. He said ::
I'm free TO confess that the feeling against

| lima"
