WASHINGTON. d. c., November "A.
Within the next two weeks Congress
will be in session and there is much dis
cussion here as to the probable policy OF
the two parties during the short session.
From conversations which your cores
pondent has had with prominent repub-
licans. he is of the opinion that a mino-
rity of the republican Representatives
NAV favor a more conservative course
than that pursued at the last session, but
the party leaders will entirely ignore the
result of the election and will endeavor
to carry out their plans as contemplated
at the commencement of Congress. The
order of business agreed upon by the
committees on rules will be taken up just
as soon as the reading of the Presidents
message is concluded, and work will be
done right along until the 4th of March
without recess. except on Christmas and
New Years days, thus disposing OF as
much business as possible. AS the first
step in the order of business it will be
urged at the earliest party conference that
the rules of the Senate be changed In
order that there may be no donbt about
the passage Of the federal election and
apportionment bills. This plan is being
vigorously urged by all the radicals and
has the approval of the President, but
its carrying out will not be easy for the
reason that it will be difficult to induce
Senators whose reelection hangs on
doubt. or whose fate depends upon closely
balanced legislatures, to take part in the
which may attract too much
to themselves and possibly pro-
woke criticism from their constituents.
These Senators will be inclined to a con-
course. thinking rather of their
own immediate future than of the grand
old party two years hence. Those, how
ever, who stake everything on their
course at the opening of the Congress
cannot affort to retreat, but will become
more aggressive. The prospects there
fore. that the division of opinion will be
about as it was at the last session, ex-
cept that some who advised conserva-
tive course then. but followed the re-
cOgnized leaders, will refuse to follow
further.
The Presidents message will give no
evidence of any tanning influence in the
but will cheer the party for
ward on their course. recommending par
the passage of bill to secure
fair elections.
The coming session will undoubtedly be
A lively one. The democrats flushed with
success will exhibit anything but meek
spirit. and from the 1st of December
until the 4th of March very exciting
line may be expected. In case the plan
or taking up of the committees order
If business in the Senate is adhered to
,pon the Presidents recommendation,
t will keep back all the routine business
md there will be little else but partisan
lighting throughout the session.
From the numerous discussions here in
egard to the candidates for 1892, it
would seem as if nominating conventions
we're about to be held.

The general opinion of politicians of
9th sides is that the two men brought
D the head of their respective parties
y the result of the election are Blaine
nd Cleveland. Every politician who
ONES to the capital from whatever Sec
ion of the country maintains that Blaine |
lone of his party has come out of this |
lection without a scratch. and that if |
he party is to win in 1892, (and who |
doubts for a moment of failure) it must |

hat the platform must be of his making.
he tide has set in so strong already |
hat when the next republican conven-
ion meets some of our best informed |
oliticians believe it will be merely a |
nestiOn of whether or not Mr.. Blaine |
ill accept the nomination.
The House committee on appropria-
ions will hold its first meeting to-day
Or the new session at its rooms at the |
'apitOl, and begin the work of prepar-
ng bills for the session. The District
will be heard by the COM
littee to-day, in an explanation of their
stimates, and the committee hopes to
ave the District bill and the Fortifca-
ion bill ready to report to Congress on
ne of the opening days of the session.
progress will also have been
