Third Party Fright.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The PROPOSE
tion Of the Farmers Alliance to organ
ize third party is giving some uneasi-
ness to both Republicans aud Democrats
here, as such a movement would draw
votes fro u each party and greatly change
the political situation. Republicans hold
that the Alliance is an attachment
10 the Democratic party, and that the
Democrats would lose the most votes {,
the third party. although they confess
to losses themselves in the West.
The Democratic assum ption is that the
Republican Alliance men would vote for
the alliance national ticket, while most
of the Democrats in the Alliance would
vote with their OLD party.
RLAiNE's COURSE APPROVED
Blaine's attitude i'll the Baruudia cor
respOnlence appears to meet with gen.
erai approval in congress. Both DEM
ocrats and Republicans speak ia praise
of his course.
The Republicans will have great diff
fCulty in correcting the two serious blum
der sin the tariff bill-the omission of the
rebate on tobacco and the violation OF the
Hawaiian treaty-wIthout reopeniug
The entire tariff question, and
w!ll give rise 10 endless dis
cussion and numerous amen dments.
IL other directions, especially tin plates.
A large tobacco contingent Is now here
from ali parts OF the country. 81 don't
see how we Gun help reoprning the whole
subject, - said MIR. Mills of Texas. las
much US l want 10 help the tobacco men,
tfs.sa
on ways and means in respect TO
the tobacco rebate sentiment and the
Hawaiian treaty. but the trouble will
come after the bill comes up before the
house. II one amendment is proposed.
it IS possible to offer another amend
mPnt without sending them 10
the committee, and there are
number of am itious Democrats who
wish 10 make records who cannot be re-
strained from attacking the bill with
other amendments as soon US Gn oppor-
tunlty is presented.
Representative Mcmillan, who Is next
to MIR. Mills, the most active Democrat
i'll the WAYS aud means committee, tnkes
the same view, but SAYS there are
two way to get around II. The commit
tee Oh rules can adopt a new rule TO fit
the case, or they might pass the amend
meut on suspense of one day If they
could get two thirds of the house to vote
for il. -
WILSON'S REMOVAL.
The removal of Joseph IL. Wilson rs
district attorney for the Eastern district
!. of Texas wss due to the slip-shod man
ner of conducting his Office. 1t is said
that he signed in blank a large
number of subpnnas wh"h were
used instrumeniarily by the law
yers simply for the purpose
OF collecting witness fees without regard
10 the public's interest. A general dis
regard of his obligations, II is said, was
characteristic Of wilson, and his removal
was promptly made when the facts be-
cume known here.
Senators Reagan and Coke have sug-
gested the name of Mr.. McComb,
whose administration under Cleveland
gave general satisfaction, but the assist
ant district attorney has been appointed,
it ls said, ten porarily. or course it is
not TO De expected that MrComb would
be named for the place by Republican
administration.
John B. Dickson Of this place has been
appointed superintendent of ;ha military
cemetery nj For; Gibson. [. t
