DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
The Democrats Of the House generally
deny that any irrecOncilahle difference
upon the tariff exists within their party
Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee saws that
he had not discovered any of that fac
tiOnal spirit which Is attributed to his
party. He scouts the idea of any split
over the tariff. Mr.. Talbot, of MARYLAND.
one of MIR. Randall's irmest friends and
supporters. said: There is no trouble
in the party over the tariff, ana
there won't be any. Mr.. Ram
dali and his friends are not antag-
OniZing any element of the party. No
doubt Randall and some others will vote
against some provisions of the proposed
tariff bill, but 1 don't believe they will an
tagOniZe it as q whole. In the first place.
Mr.. Randall is not the man to lead fac
tiOnal fight in his own party. He is too
good Democrat for that; and in the sec
Ond place, he couldn't command the sup
port of his friends if he tried it in mat
ter Of that kind. Democrats will differ as
to changes in the tariff upon some arti-
Giles, and SO will the Republicans.

treaty at all if Grant had not gone to

but absolute confidence in Grants

Texas statesmen surrounded Mr.. Ochil-

THE OUTRAGE BUREAU
Secretary Chandler and First Assistant
P0stmaster-General HattOn have for some
weeks past frequently asserted that the
next Presidential campaign would be run
mainly on the old bloody shirt issue

copy of the resolutions alleged to have
been passed at a meeting of citizens Of
Copiah county, Mississippi, in November
