WARRINGTON LETTER.

lrTom our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 8, '92.
1t is evident that the democratic ma
jority of the House intend to pass the
free coinage bill. They say it is necessa-
ry for them to do so in order to retain
their hold upon a number of COMPRESSION
al districts in the west and south, and
they rely upon yCleyeland's wellknown
anti-silver sentiments to save them in the
east. 1t will not be done, however, with
out bitter parliamentary fight, but as
Speaker Crisp has given the silver men
assurances of his intention to aid them
there is little or no doubt of the final re-
suit. 1t is regarded as certain that the
President, who has taken advantage of
the wrangle over the bill in the House to
carry Mrs. Harrison to the Adirondacks,
will veto it.
Members of the cabinet and of congress
are taking the deepest interest in the
labor troublesi in Pennsylvania, although
it is not case in which the general gov
eminent or congress can interfere, except
by lending moral influence towards a
settlement OF the difficulties. Resolu-
lions for investigation have been offered
in the House and Senate.
While the resignation of chairman
Campbell, of the National committee, is
generally regretted by republicans, there
is no evidence here Of the commotion
said by sensational democratic news
papers to exist among republicans by
reason of that resignation. The new
chairman will be selected by the new ex-
ecutive committee, and it goes without
saying that the selection will be good
one. The democrats will discover before
long that this campaign is to be fought
on great principle and not by or for
any man.
Senator Aldrich this week introduced
a concurrent resolution for the final ad
journment of congress on July Goth, but
he has little hope that it will get away
as soon as that, unless great change
takes place very soon.
Messrs. Nelson and Parker, the ex-
perts selected by the joint committee on
immigration of the House and Senate to
make thorough examination of the
government buildings erected for the i'm
migrant station, on Ellis Island in New
York Harbor, ha re submitted their re-
port to the chairman of those commit
tees. The estimate of these experts of
what the nine principal buildings should
have cost aggregated $242,OOO, which
is Just $11 900 more than they cost I'M
der contracts made by the treasury de-
partment. Theexperts failed to find any
structural defects OF Importance in the
buildings and report that as whole
the work has been we'll done and that
its cost has been below the average paid
for similar work. That is just about
what Secretpry Charles Foster said
when sensational charges were made in
connection with this work.
1T is said Representative Henderson of
Iowa, who knows the man we'll, will
shortly make a speech in the House ex-
posing the public and private record of
Weaver, and that the exposure will great
ly surprise many members of the Far
mer's Alliance who have been misled into
supporting Weaver.
Z Only four democratic Senators-Hill,
Gray, German and Palmer-voted with
the republican Senator's to instruct the
Senate conferees to insist upon the SEN
ate amendment appropriating 500, 900
to aid in entertaining the veterans who
will come to the 6. A. r. encampment in
September.
