/ WAsHINeToE, April 20. = Senator
Frye's speech to-day is what the Demo
eFslts define rs .snlira bloody" He'pre-
sented numerous election outrages IN
| Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Mis-
| sIsSippi and ether southern states.
/ He had his alleged outrages all ranged
IN roll of manuscript, and named tie
/ localities. His speech was severe, and
| may have an influence on Robertsen's
case. The Democratic senators regard
Frye us representing and speaking for
the administration, and holding this
view they express determination 30
join in defeating Robertson.
ANOTHER STORY.
Senator Frye's speech to-day has had
the effect Of putting new phase entire
ly upon The contest over the confirmation
Of Robertson. The Democratic senators
all believe that Frye was put forth as the
| spokesman of the administration and of
Blaine. The Democrats arc very indiss-
nant over Senator Frye's speech. A
| Western Associated Press reporter inter,
viewed thirteen Democratic senators to-
| night, from both the North and South,
and ell expressed the same opinion and
purpose. They said the administration
was evidently trying to appear more stall
wart than Conkling and his friends.
| One Democratic senator said thai he had
talked with nearly all of his colleagues,
and that they were now of the opinion
that the Democratic policy is now to
vote with Conkling 10 reject Robertson :;
that until today only three Demo-
Gratis would have voted against Robert
son but now their policy Is changed,
and that they propose to help that ele-
ment of the Republicans which antago
nizes the administration. A Demo
cratic senator this evening, in CONVEX
sation, advised Senator ConkliDg of the
sudden change among the Democrats on
this question. A prominent Republican,
! friend of Secretary Blaine said 10 night
! that the Democratic assumption thai
FRYE spoke for the administration is er-

are not on good terms, because Frye
thought that Blaine did not treat him
properly in the matter of his election 10
the senate; that Blaine helped Hale to
the first senatorship in preference TO
Frye, and that the latter, instead of rep
rescnting the administration, was more
likely. to be among its opponents. This is
the status of this matter tonight, and if
the Robertson case were to come up to-
morrow it is apparent that nearly every
Democrat would vote to reject.
WASHINGTON, April 20-The speech of
air. Frye today has been as generally
commended as any one made since the
present session began. 1t was powerful
and telling from first to last. It was an
answer to MIR. Brown, of Georgia, and
Mr.. Call, of Florida, who had attacked
New England. 1t was OF q character TO
make the gentlemen appear ridiculous,
and as trifiers with the intelligence of
the senate. This portion of his speech
turned upon the relative provision made
for educational purposes in New Eng
land and in Georgia and Florida.
Equally effective and more novel was
his reply to the sneer of Call of Florida
at the poor serfs of New England iacts-
ries Frye said these serfs of Massachn-
sets had enough money in the savings
banks of that state I'd buy all the real ard
personal property in the whole state of
of Florida and fifty millions to spare.
He said he wonld match their intelli-
gence, both of women and men, against
the best that,eoGld be selected from the
choicest white circles of Florida. He
then stirred mp nearly every democratic
senator from the south, in succession by
reading from the official records at the
department of justice, eases in each state
of outrages on persons and on freedom
of the ballot
he closed by a strong presentation Of
the contest between what he pictured as
the Bourbonism of the south and the
civilization of the north. All in all, his
speech is the strongest yet delivered in
this debate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20.-Gov
st. John started for Kansas at nine
O'Clock this evening. During his brief
stay he has been the recipient of much
attention from the temperance people,
who called upon him numerously. An
Ohio man remarked tonight that "Goy.
St. John is my candidate for the next
president of the United Statesn This
may appear strange language for an Ohio
man, Mailing from a state where there is
SO much presidential timber; hut it is
true The governor took in the capital
to-day, which he had not seen for eigh-
teen years, and at which time he was an
| officer in the union army.
1t is now understood that Mrs. Thomas
Osburn will not return to Chill until
the tenure of the ex-governor is positive
ly settled relative to his retention at the
Gillian court.
The following Kansas postmastcrs were
commissioned to-day: Leonard Yates,
Leola; Perry G. White, Golden Belt !;
Thomas Elder, Gourrock; Ben. W. Spen-
Ger, Ida, new office; James Smith,
Anderson; Smith county.
| ARRANGING FOR EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 22.-The
! Republican senator's will doubtless meet
in caucus tomorrow. The purpose Of
| the meeting is to arrange for holding
one or more executive sessions at an early
date in order to dispose of some portion
| of the accumulated business, but with
i
the proposed election of officers will
then be resumed.
BAD FOR BRADY.
The irregular transactions which have
been uncovered in the contract Office of
the Postotfice Department of General
James, are the principal topics of dis
cussion throughout the city to-day, es-
pecialfy in the executive departments.
| The case against General Brady and his
| friends has been presented in its incoIn-
plete shape to President Garfield, and
| instructions were at once given 10 CON-
plete the evidence, and lay the whole
subject, including the accumulated mass
| of documents, aflidayits and various DIES
criptions of discriminating memoranda
before the attorney general. Il is re-
ported, and is probably true, that while
Judge Tyner was cogniZant of the Star
Route operations, and long ago manifest
| ed a disposition to expose them, both he
and General Key were overruled by
1 General Brady, whose power in the
| postotfice department seems, in view Of
the recent developments, to have been
almost absolutely supreme.
BI.AIEE's PI.ANS.
Secretary Blame, talking 10 some bust
ness men. said today. that he intends to
increase the trade between the United
States and Mexico, and that he wants to
see legislation enacted next winter by
congress TO increase the facilities for com
mnnication between this country and
1 Mexico, and TO build up a Mexican
trade.

There are a n1mbcr of Important chang
