THE PRESIDENCY or THE
GENATE.

The Washington POST, the organ OF
the administration, strongly urges mp
on Republican Senators the choice Of
a Democratic President pro TEN. The
Republicans of the Senate. 1t says {:
EITHER believe or do not believe, that
a political party should, or the Execu-
tive Department of the Government
may. rightfully be severed by the
death of two persons whom that party
has elected, the President and the
Vice.P President. If they do they will
proceed next Monday to elect a Re-
publican Senator to be President pro
TEN. If they do not they will proceed
to elect a Democratic Senator to be
President pro tenn"
The Post presents VOORHEES,, of Indi-
ana, or Harris, of Tennessee.
1t is the duty of Congress to enact a
law as 500 as possible that will pre-
vent any further misunderstanding OF
this highly important question of the
succession of the Presidency. Every
sense of propriety and justice suggests
that whatever law may be passed in
the premises it should provide that the
successor to the vacant Presidency
should be Of the same party as the
decedent. The expressed will of the
people should be observed. Neither
the Democratic nor Republican party
should be allowed to he benefited by an
accident, and intrude itself upon the
people of the Government when that
people have expressed an adverse SEN
timent. We cannot afford to make
our Government one of accident or
fOrtuitous events.
The New York Times, Republican,
magnaaimously recommends to its
party in the Senate the election Of a
Democrat as President pro tenn,
SO that a Democrat may be in the line
of succession to a Democratic Presi-
dent, in the event of his death or from
any other disability. The Times con
cedes this as due to the majority of the
people who had elected a Democratic
President, and were entitled to Dem.
ocratic administration for the full
term for which he was elected.

Governor Curtin, who is quite a con-
spicuous figure here, either in Con-
gress or the social circle, created a SEN
sation at the theatre last night, be-
ing the object of much unsolicited at
tention. He has been anxious to see
Henry Irving and told Mrs. Curtin
and their daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to
go and he would meet them there.
"They need not engage seat for him.
No, no; he would get seat and be all
right he said, as they parted. The
House stayed in session on the river
and harbor bill until it was quite late
and by the time the Governor
reached the theatre there was standing
room only and very little of that. He
wedged himself in along one of the
side aisles and happened in front of
some men who were perched upon
window-sill. One of them touched
him on the shoulder and told him to
stand aside. Just then big. double
listed fellow, who was standing close
by, pointed his index finger at the three
window sill ornaments with the firm
inquiry "Do you know who you're
a shov'en 7 That's Ex-Governor Cur

getting louder "Im one of the boys

shall shove you around where | am
git down off that window SILL he
shouted y git down quick and as
they slid from their roost he yelled
"Shill ! knock them down, Governor
shill knock them down ?" and the
fellow fairly danced with excitement.
BY this time the doorkeepers had
reached the parties, when Curtin's pro-
tector shouted, "Git the old Governor
seat" and pulling out roll of bills,
git him seat" he continued in
voice that sienced all the actors on the
stage. "Git him seat here's the
money for it, There was one private
box not yet occupied and the mana !
gers were glad to rush Curtin into it
to end the scene that was not on the |
bills. "One of the boys,' as he called
then took his station in the
middle aisle, and for the rest of the
evening gazed intently into the private
box at the old War Governor, who dur
ing the melee was unable to avoid the
attention he was receiving. 1t created
more amusement and applause than
any scene in the play.

Anti Silver Movement.
CLEVELAND SAID TO
BE OPPOSED TO SILVER COINAGE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-The .Eyen-
ing Star says tonight: The purpose
OF the visit of Chairman Barnum and
Representative Scott to the capital was
to have a clause inserted in the sundry
civil appropriation bill providing for
the suspension of the coinage of silver
In this it is understood they represent
ed Mr.. Cleveland. They saw the mem
bers OF the appropriations committee
and all the leading members of the
house and urged the pressing necessity
OF action on the proposition at this ses-
sion.
They left the city under the impress
sion that their mission had been sue
cessfu, and Mr.. Scott is quoted as say
ing that the matter was all fixed 1t
cannot be learned just what assurances
they have, but the unders, auding that
they were acting for Cleveland added
great weight to their arguments, and
the antl-silver men in the House claim
that ii the question of suspending sill
yer coinage can be gotten before the
Honse it will pass this session.
Many members who have been in-
clined to oppose the suspension, but
VINO have no, given the question much
study, are said to be wavering, and the
list OF names on the silver mems petit
ton has not grown much siuce SCOTS
arrival. The subcommittee in charge
OF the suudry civil bill have not, how
ever, included the Scott, Barnum pro
position in the first draft of the bill,
and it must be added to the whole COM
mlttee if it is to become a part of the
committees bill. This, it Is said, has
been arranged for, but if the PROPOSE
tion should fail in the committee it
will be introduced in the commute of
the whole House.
