THE FIGHT BETw ZEN THE ADMIN
IsTRATIoN AND THE sTALwARTs
DEMOCRATS WAITING FOR THE
OYSTER.
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1881,
In the contest between the two
factions here the demo-
Gratis have not, apparently, as yet
made up their minds which side to
support. The proposition to make
of the Senate e'supreme
does not, on counting the loses oil
those ready to adhere to 1t, develop
majority of the Senate, and the
prospect Of securing a safe majority
is feebler Today than it was on
Monday. Some of those who had
this plan in hand are now turning
their attention to other methods OF
breaking the deadlock.
The dissatisfaction on the repub-
licar side is increasing, and while
no caucus has been called it is pos
sible that one may be summoned
any day. The democrats meantime
are encouraged by the central posi-
tion they hold between the two re-
publican factions. They see that
each of these factions needs their
support, and they have this week
begun to consider whether il is not,
on the whole, wiser for them to ad-
here to the Pr ssident than to the
anti-administ tration men.
COMPLICATION OF POLITICS.
The complication of politics is
something very curious. The DEM
ocrats would, no doubt, stand by
the President were it not that he
has made and proposed to make
some important nominations in the
Southern States which are very dis
agreeable to the democratic Sena-
tors of those States. To defeat
those nominations and make them
permanently impossible of conir-
nation considerable number OF
them would, no doubt, go over to
the anti-administration republicans.
But it is among the possibilities that
the administration, now seeing this,
may offer some terms TO the South.
ern democrats which these would
gladly accept, because naturally
they would rather be on good term:
with the President than with hi
opponents.
THE STAR RoUTER TO GO OUT.
1t is plain enough that the democrat
will hold out to see with which wing {
the fighting republicans 1t is best fC
them to act. Meantime comes to-da
what may prove another complication !
the ousting of Brady, the notoriou
Second Assistant Postmaster Genera
and friend of star reuters. 1t has bee
| freely said about Washington that th
administration would be very slow
turn Brady out and that if he wen
somebody to his liking would probabl
take his place. Postmaster Genera
James has, however, been determine
from the FIRST to clean out this star rout
scandal and has not acted before onl
because it was not easy to get the rigl
man to take so important place. FL
