Give Mr.. sherman place on il. The belief

and that the latter would have gracefully
made way for The distinguished cX Secre-

WHAT Is SAID OF TIE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Those who yesterday believed that there
was q strong cOltc>. between Senator's But
Ter and Camden for Mr.. kernan's place on
the Finance Committee were mistaken. The
question discussed was whether The cotton
states ought not to have a position as they
lld no representative on the committee. As
fr,l constituted. Mr.. Camden was selected.
subsequently, however. his name was
stricken OIL and that OF Senator Grover, OF
Oregon, substituted for il. Mr.. Mcpherson,
in place Of senator Wallace, was conceded
10 Boz proper appointee, because he comes
from an adjoining State. The feeling Is
that the committee is more liberal according
10 the views Of the South and West than
before, for the reason that Mr.. Herman was
q, hard money" as Mr. Bayard.

BOW THE DEMOCRATS VIEW THE SITUATION
A Democratic senator to-day in an inter
view with 4 leading Republican Journalist
put the situation 4 follows: Your Repub
lican President called an extra session OF
the Senate for executive business and the
Senate cannot accomplish It without COM
m'teCs. Now, it is our plain duty
to 20 TO work without delay anC
organize. Then if YOU Republicans at
the end OF ten days have the power
to change il, why you can do it. Do you
think ii Mr.. Grover had been sick and ont
in Oregon we would have asked the Repub-
Lclus TO wait for his return? added the
senator. The Journalist. thousht that a de.
Jay Of ten days was not much OF a matter.
IuE BLAINE MEN AFTER SECRETARY BLAINE.
| have already stated that patriots by hun
dleds are clllirg on Senator Blaine, and ii
], not at AL remarkable that every original
Elaine man wants 10 help the Government
out by taking ON Office. With view to
ihis, they urge the Secretary 10 take their
papers to the President. Shaping one of
these on the back yesterday he said, "Old
fellow, | am not President, but General
Garfield is.' No one, however, is nearer
Tie President than be Is.
