The PrGp0sed Addrrss TO the Countx.
by Tarir Democrats.

The PrGp0seu Aattress TO the Country
by Iarir Democrats.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE futura pro-
graEne Of the Dsmocratic majority in the
House, 60 far as the tariff question is con-
cerred, is still suhisct OF discussion
among the free trade leaders and the re-
suit il doubtful. After the Morrison bill
was killed, its author, together with Speak
er Carlisle, Alr. Tucker, Mr.. Dsrsheimer
and several other leadeu, met in the
Speakers room. "What shall we next
do?" Tss the question. One said: "I
think We bad best stand On our hand; We
have.dcre all We can" Another thought
there Ought to be another effort; that
party with more than seventy majority in
the House could not afford 10 sit sill and
90 nothing; that majority WIS under
pledges to ret!rce the tariff, and could not
afford to aaate its efurts il that direction.
Chairman Morrison said that he was as
anxious M ever &c redeem the pledges un-
der which hiH comuItte. WEB organized,
but that he would not regard it to be his
duty to bring IN another tariff bill from
that committee, without aasurarces before
hand that it wouii not euHsr the sane fate
IA tho ti1at one. One or two OF the men
present suggested that some of the Demo-
crats who had votad to behesd the Morri-
lon bill would be glad of an opportunity
to ''vcta themselves olt Of the scrapa into
which they had been led" Colonel Nor
rison thought these Democrats should be
left to escape from their trouble the best
way they could, and without any assist
ance. Finally, somebody suggested that
Al address to the country be drawn and
Issued by the "fsrif Reformers."
l. This suggestion We fa7orahly received,
and the next day Mr. Dorsheimer submit
ted 70 Colonel Morrison and others IN out
line Of such an address. Colonel Morrison
requested Spesker Carlisle to take the
document and "fx it up" and it was turn
Ell oyer to him fer that purpose. It is
understood to be still in his pogsessiun,
and it ID said that no decision has vet been
reached as to whether it shall be published
as 4 Justification OF the course OF the domi-
ant Democratic faction. and an explanation
Of the reasuuH why it had been determined
TO appeal from Congress to the Democratic
National Convention. There was talk to-
day that the atdresa might be iEaued to-
morrow, but Democratic leaders, who
wui.ld be consulted before any decision OF
that matter, said this evening that so !ar ss
they know it stands Just where it did last
Thursday. One thing only seene certain :
II Colonel Morrison receives satisfactory
assurances tha. j Tariff bill will pass the
Houge, il reported by his committee, bill
will be promptly forthcoming; but no such
bill will be brought in unlesa he is con-
vincet be.ore hand that it will pass the

mis- plans to capture the Democratic ucmi
nation for the presidency. The almost
constant stream of pilgrims which tendt
towards Gramercy Park, including many
members Of Congress who are known to
possess influence in the party, confirms the
belief that the sAge is determined to carry
oE the prize. Members Of the Pacific coast
delegation and Representatives ouch as
Lamb, of Indiana, chairman Of the State
Committee, and Paige, chairman Of .ts
Ohio State COMMITTEES, are trsqrers paa-
sengers On the train to New York. The
head OF the "old ticket is very popular
also in the South. 4 member OF the House
from that section said that ne believes Til
