THE COMING CONGRESSIONAL
CAMPAIGN.

The Nashville Unions Washington
News of last Saturday contains the
following:
"The Democratic Congressional
campaign committee is being quietly
and carefully made up, with view
to hard and effective work. They
see there is to be pretty hard fight.
To be sure, the Democrats have ma
jority of ~ in the present house, but
a study Of the Congressional directory
shows that there are % Democrats
in the house who hold their present
positions on less than 900 majority.
If these were reversed the majority
would go over to the Republican side.
The Republicans are keeping quiet,
and waiting to see what the oppo-
nents are going to do about the tariff
bill and some other matters of this
sort. They are going to make fight
to capture several Southern districts,
some in Tennessee, some in Alabama,
some in Louisiana. When you come
to consider that changes of from so to
800 votes in twenty-five districts
would reverse the majority in the
house it is easy to see the importance
of careful organization"
Hon. John r. Neal is the present
Congressman from this (the third
Congressional district, and he was
elected by a majority of only sixty
two votes, consequently it is natural
to presume that the Republicans will
make strong pull to capture this
district. We feel satisfied the Demo,
Gratis can and will carry the district
this year, but they will have to put
their best man in the field and "every.
body dance"

Washington Letter.

To the Standard
With the Senate's investigation of
the Administration, the Houses in
vestigatiOn of the Pan Electric stock,
and another investigation of the Com
missioner of Pensions in regard to the
charges he brought against his prede-
cessor, Dudley, it would seem that
the spirit of inquiry were raging here
now.
On the contrary, all these affairs
are dismal farces. No sensations
have been evolved from the telephone
business, and public interest in it is
rapidly subsiding. Hon. Casey
Young has contradicted the imputa-
tons against the Attorney General,
and in seeking letters for publication
as testimony, out Of 2l2, five were
from Mr.. Garland, none of which
bear on the subject under investiga-
ton.
Gen. Black is we'll fortified with
proof of his allegations against En-
Commissioner Dudley's Republican
pension machine. He has submitted
cases Of gross irregularity, showing
that claims were advanced and al
lowed as partisan rewards, and he has
hundreds of affidavits in reserve.
AS to the Senate's fight for papers,
none but the blindest of partisans can
see any other outcome Of the Repub.
lican situation than Il surrender
There is a desire on the part of most
Of the Senators to drop the contest as
soon as possible and to say as little as
possible about it. The debate has in.
Volved so many Senators in contra.
dictionS and inconsistencies that il
has clearly strengthened the Presi.
dents position. 1t has also served tC
direct attention to the evils of secret
sessions so intently that their very
existence is threatened.
The weakest point of the Republi.
can position is that they have called
for this information to be used in Stal
Chamber sessions. If the Senate con
sidered the Presidents appointments
in open session, there would be much
more excuse for these attacks upor
him for his secresy.
Senator Edmunds is sOrely cut by
the revolt of the Finance Committee
Its resolve to report the nominations
of Internal Revenue Collectors refer,
red to it in spite of the caucus, was {
square back down from the Republic
can position. And the present week
is likely to witness similar action OF
the part of the Indian Affairs Com
mittee, and other committees which
are weary of the useless contest.
There was never genuineness OF
cohesion in the movement, and it re-
quires little political keenness to SET
what would certainly happen. The
obstruction was political blunder
and there was so little interest i'm i
that the public did not even charg,

There has been placed upon exhibit
ton in the National Museum, as a
present from the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, the original locomo-
tive "John Bull" which was built
in 1881 by Messrs. Stephenson q Son,
at New Castle upon the Tyne, Eng
land, for the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company Of New Jersey.
The first trip made by the engine was
upon the 18th Of November, 1881, in
the presence of the members Of the
legislature, and it was continued in
use until 1865. Although this is not
actually the first locomotive used in
the United States, it is probably the
Oldest in existence at the present
time.

A RESOLUTION has been introduced
in the U. S. Senate to change the date
of inaugarating the President from
March 18th to April 3Oth. This would
certainly be very pleasant change,
as the weather is generally very
rough at Washington during the first
days of March. The change would
add greatly to the comfort of the
throngs who attend the inaugurations,
and perhaps also tend to increase the

its mind with the task of keeping up
with the debate. The indignation
which was pumped up was false and
labored, and there has been no time
when the Republican Senators in a
body have not regretted the course
into which they were dragged by the
rasping selfshness from Vermont.
AS an experimental issue it has been
a dismal failure, and it was only as
tonishing that the pretense was kept
up as long as it was.
Much was expected by the ma
jority Senators from their colleague,
Mr.. Spooner, the new Senator from
Wisconsin. He occupied the floor
part Of two days, but failed utterly to
cover himself with glory. He started
out quite bravely, but in the winding
up he got lost, CROPPED around for
about an hour pointlessly in search of
suitable finale, repeated himself
half dozen times and closed quite
tamely.
Senator Colquitt, Of Georgia, will
be heard in long speech today on
the Democratic side, and Senator In
gals, of Kansas, will follow in behalf
of the Republicans. He is one of
their ablest men and has carefully
prepared speech.
AS the Tennessee democracy is
known to be shaky on free trade, the
Memphis Avalanche is doubtless wise
in recommending that the democratic
State convention Of this year skip
the question entirely.-Philadelp
Press.
But that happens to be one of the
umskippable questions. The Tennes-
see republicans will stand "pat" on
high protection and the democrats
cannot afford to "wabble on the gud-
geon. Little Rock Gazette.
That question is res adjudicotd until
the next national convention. FIVE
are opposed to the platform on that
point it is time enough tosay 50 when
we send delegates to renominate
Cleveland. Ithas nospecial business

that negotiations are still pending for

The railroad officials are to go over

be developed by this extension, it
would seem like folly for them to
longer delay its building.
