Good Republican PrOsDects.

Congressman Russell, of the Ways
and Means Committee, was seen for a
few minutes on Friday on his way
home to Massachusetts. Answering in
quiries, he said
"Yes, we have got our bill in, and l
have run away for a rest. The vote on
the bill in the House will be very close.
Forty or forty-fve Democratic votes
will defeat it If the Republicans stand
together, as it is believed they will.
We had wavering vote or two, but
the result in Haskell's old district in
Kansas has had good effect on them
1t was pretty severe on the Democrats,
though, except the Randall party. 1t is
not thought that Randall will antago-
nize the bill with the appropriations,
but the hope is that he and his friends
will assist in striking off the enacting
clause. Morrison told me he does not
expect to bring the bill up for ten days.
The working people over the country
are getting worked up to the tariff
question as never before. Letters by
the score have come to the members of
the committee from mechanics. They
say to us 1T is the perpetual tariff
agitation to which we object. As soon
as Congress begins talking about a
change. our mill begins to run half
time, or we are put on eight hours
work, or wages are reduced. 1t affects
us more than the capitalists. The
farmers, too, have begun to see their
true interest. Politically, l think the
outlook for Republicans is excellent
and improving daily. With good nomi-
nations we shall certainly carry the
next election"
