A WEDGE TO SPLIT DIXIE
COL. r. D. LOCKE's VIEWS ON
HARRIsON's APPOINTEES.

Protection Democrats Advocated
Where Good Republicans Are Un-
obtainable - Qusy's Vote on the
Tariff Bill-Split of the Wool Men
Morton Helping Blaine's Boom.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-The Buck and
Locke delegation were to go to Indiana
polls, to boom Col. Buck of course. Col.
Locke, however, explained to the Tribune
correspondent the object Of the visit as fol-
lows; I'VE iudorse to the fullest extent the
so-called Birmingham movement, and see
in it a chance to build up a successful Re-
publican party in our state. We shall adj
wise Gen. Harrison to select as federal
officers as far as he can republicans Of good
character and standing in the communities
in which they live. Where such republi-
cans are not available we recommed the
choice of protection democrats. The protec
tion issue must be insisted upon everywhere.
1t is a wedge which will soon split the
bourbon democrats In Georgia"
QUAY's TARIFF VOTE.
"We could afford to let Senator Quay's
vote 60" said a prominent republican sup
porter of the Alison-Aldrich bill to-day,
"if it was not for the look Of the thing, for
| feel sure that the bill will receive the
vote of Senator Brown of Georgia, who
represents the growing protection minority
in that state, but we will get Senator
Quay's vote and Senator Cameron's, too"
This same senator said to Senator Quay the
other day in talking of the report that
Senator Quay would not vote for the senate
tariff bill: II thought you said you had
postponed your visit to Florida so that you
could vote for the Senate tariff bill"
NO" said Senator Quay, 81 said that /
had postponed my visit to Florida, SO that
could vote on the Senate bill"
THE WOOL SCHEDULE ROW.
Columbus Delano and William Lawrence
of the wool growers association in them
selves and William Whitman, representing
the wool manufacturers, had their final de-
bate before the Senate committee on finance
to-day, and then left for home more widely
separated than ever uefore. Messrs. Delauo
and Lawrence press their absurdly extraV-
agant demands for higher duties, and Mr..
Whitman combatted them at every point
The preference of the WOODEN manufactur-
ers for the Mills bill over the plan proposed
by Messrs. Delano and Lawrence was well
established. The members of the commit
tee were impressed with the belief
that the woolen manufacturers would
soon be clamoring for free wool
as against the pretentious demands
of the wool growers. The latter are indig-
nant at the wool manufacturers. I'VE
ought to stand together" sad Mr.. Delano,
''in the future as in the past" They
threaten to be revenged on the wooden
manufacturers for their opposition. The
committee on finance will compromise the
matter by sticking to their bill with few
verbal changes intended to make the wool
and WOODEN provisions more definite.
MORTON AND BLAINE.
Vice President elect Morton went all the
way to the capitol this afternoon with
Congressman William Walter Phelps, un-
like Mr.. Blaine, and spent some time in the
lobby behind the House receiving the con
gratulations of his old friends. 1t is appar-
ent that Mr. Morton's business here is to
help on the Blaine movement. 1t is said
that he came at Mr.. Blaine's request. At
all events Mr.. Blaine desired him here, and
since he came he has been hard at work
for Mr.. Blaine The Hiscock- Platt-
Morton-B Blaine men have arranged dinner
in honor of Messrs. Blaine and Morton
apropos of the latter's arrival, which is part
OF the same movement. The great object Of
the Blaine men is to impress Gen. Harrison
With the belief Jhat Mr.. Baine's appoint
ment is indispensable. As yet they have no
sign from Con. Harrison.
INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS.
The House committee on postoffices and
post roads has authorized favorable re-
port on Mr.. Blount's bill, introduced last
Monday, to increase the maximum amount
Of international money orders from $50 to
500. This will make the maximum
amount of these orders the same as that Of
domestic money orders
THE CoWLEs BILL.
When the committee on appropriations
reports the Cowles bIll, motion will prob
ably be made to refer it to the committee
on ways aud means. If that motion were
made tomorrow it would carry, so many
of the democrats who voted for the motion
TO refer 10 the committee on appropriations
having changed their minds upon hearing
from their constituents. None of the Georq pC
delegation would vote for the Cowl~Os, G
if the democrats in caucus decif j.
do 50. Ii they held no caps- b
voted against it, probpt 49, following: b
