A NEW SCHEME.

Democrats VIII Attempt tn Worry Republic
an Workers by an Investigation.
Washington Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
There is every prospect Of q very lively over
hauling Of election methods in New York. Indi-
ana, Wess Virginia and Michigan, by the pres
ent Democratic House this winter. Democratic
Congressman from the close States, who have
arrived in Washington in the past few days,
are all eager for such an investigation as that
which followed the election of Mr.. Hayes. A
conference of Democratic leaders of the House
will be held before Congress meets on Monday,
at which the whole subject will be discussed
and q plan of action agreed upon. 1t is
probable that SUCH an inquiry will be
conducted by a special committee Of the
House. made up from the sblest lawyers
OF that body. TIL resolution may be drawn so
as to make it call for an inquiry into the conduct
of certain United States supervisors OF election
in New York and elsewhere, but that will be
only the pretext for an investigation which will
be far reaching IN its scope. and will take in the
hundreds OF well authenticated cases of bribery
which have come to light since election day. A
score OF afidavits and some confessions are said
to be already in the possession of leading Demo
Gratis here, and more are being secured in all
the States where the integrity OF the elections is
suspected.
All the leading Republicans who have col
Iected and handled large sums of money and
persons who are suspected of receiving tha
Dudley circular are on the list of the in
vestiestors. Names of workers in some of
the rural counties in New York are said
to be included in very interesting afidavits that
have been received here. Among others who
may be subpenaed to explain certain matters
when the investigation starts ars w. w. bud.
ley, Attorney-general Michensr and ". r. Nc
Keen. of Indiana; Col. Elliott P. Shepard, John
j. O'Brien and Albert Daecett. Of New York.
Col Henry L. Swords, of Iowa; Stephen b.
Elkins. OF New Mexico and West Virginia;
James j. Bslden, of Syracuse; John Jarrett. OF
Pittsburg; James P. Foster, Of New York, and
Carson Lake, of Ohio. The afidavits. however,
will be the main dependence of the committee,
and ir is expected that only side lights will be
thrown on the condition of affairs by tho testi
mony of these witnesses.

How the Aparcb isis Guy. Thanks.

CHICAGO. Nov. PA meeting OK 30 people
at ITALIA Hall, this afternoon, was as close an
imitation as possible of the Anarchist gatherings
on the Thanksgiving day preceding the Hay
market outbreak. Tbs speakers We're guarded
blage was shown by the distribution among
those present OF a number OF copies OF n haud-
bill of Herr Most's which caused the oisrup-

those who did not believe in dynamite. TIE
principal speaker was Albert Curtin. lie SAID
the present system OF society was not worth
giving thanks for. but was worth cursing to tho
lswest depths of hell. Whom should they
thank Godl IL there was a God. what a
monster he must be TO permit so much mis- ~.
Let the fools be thankful .or their wrsichsd-
ness. The workingmen should stand together
until their ideals Of soci allan and anarehism
were fully realized.

MINOR MATTERS.
The Coming Session of the Fiftieth Congress
Likely to Be Very Important. III

The Coming Session of the Fiftieth Congress
Likely to Be Very Important. Ss
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2a-Congress reconvenes
on Monday. and. from a business viewpoint,
the short session is likely to be more important
to the general progress and material interests
of the country than was the unprecedented long
session which adjourn ned in October. Politics
are likely to be relocated to the rear and the
business interests of the people brought to
the front. There is every reason why measures
of national Importance, free from partisan
or sectional prejudices, should receive the
prompt and patriotic consideration Of Congress
in the spirit of promoting the general welfare Of
the people and advancing public prosperity.
There are many measures of such general char
acter already fsvorably reported from commit
tees. which failed to become laws by reason Of
the pending tariff bills absorbing the time and
attention of Congress to the exclusion Of all
other legislation. There is little probability of
tariff discussion interfering with other leeisla-
ton during the closing session of the Fitch
CONGRESS.
