old democratic names that cannot

hood and the wisdom and expert
ence of more than three score and
ten wears. The red bandana which
for SO many years was found in the
front ranks of the democratic sena-
tors will. now take it's place as one
of the EN- bIems of good govern
ment and revenue reform in the
bate this year, which is to decide
the fate of both. Everybody here,
except the disconsolate republicans,
is enthusiastic over the great work
of the st. Louis convention. 1t
| was a piece of work that the dem
ocratlc party of the entire country
| is proud of; in every movement Of
that grand body of men confidence
and victory were plainly Visible.
Now let the good work go right on;
let the enthusiasm originated by
the national convention continue to
extend and spread out until the
whole country is enveloped in a
blaze of enthusiasm that will re-
suit in a clean sweep in the legis-
lative as well as the executive
branch of the government. The
ticket and platform are all that can
be asked for, now let the voters do
their part, and next November we
shall all sing peans of victory.
Red is just now the prevailing
color around the capitol. The dem
ocratic members all carry red ban
danas, and all the members OF the
house wear red roses in their but
tonholes. The red roses are from
the coun try residence of Represen
tative Lee of Virginia, who lives
near this city. He brings big
basket of them in with him every
day, and sends them around to the
other members on the floor Of the
house by page.
M. Oates of Alabama, thinks
the time has come to place some re-
strictions upon immigration. He
has introduced bill in the house
imposing tax of $25 on each i'm
migrant.
] The tariff bill has been under
consideration in the house for the
greater part of this week, but the
progress made has not been great.
The republicans are determined to
delay this bill in every manner pos.
sible in The hope of thereby event
ually defeating it. Their latest
scheme is to force the house to a
consideration of the arrearage OF
pensions bill, which if passed
would very quickly wipe out the
treasury surplus. If the republi-
cans succeediin getting pension bills
before the house, it is understood
that an amendment will be offered
thereto by the democrats, providing
for tax on all incomes above
| SIS, 900, to raise the money which
the bill appropriates.
The uncertainty among republi-
cans as TO who their presidential
candidate is to be is just as great
now as it was the day that Blaine
dropped out for good. Sherman
| friends now claim that his nomlna
ton is almost assured. Democrats
hope that Sherman may be nomi'
mated, for of all the candidates YET
named, he would be the easiest t.
beat; in fact, his own record woult
beat him with no(efort whatever OF
the part Of democrats.
"In time of peace, prepare fol-
war" This is what, according to 8
dispatch from Chicago, the repub-
lican party is doing this week il
Chicago, and by next Saturday lt'
leaders will be ready for the con
test. The representatives OF tb'
great war party are going to NEE
, and tear each other to pieces. The.
, are making arrangements already
o to fire the northern heart with ole
war songs and dances. The war il
| is to be fought over again wildly ant
fiercely next week in the conven
tion. The esolid SOUTH" the South
