WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-It cannot be pre-
dicted with reasonable degree of certainty
that the Fifty-third Congress will meet in
extra session, but whethe il will be called
together next spring or next fall cannot be
said at this time.
1t is certain that a great majority Of the
Democratic leaders favor called session.
The few Of them who were opposed TO it at
hrst have. since arriving in Washington,
come 10 the conclusion that ii viii be neces-
sary on account of the depleted condition
OF the United States treasury. MessrS.
Carlisle and William r. Morrison have
stated that. in their opinion, an extra ses-
sion will be necessary Speaker Crisp is
believed to favor it. while Representatives
Wilson Of West Virginia, Bynum, Cable,
Catchings, Wilke, and many lesser lights OF
the House, have expressed themselves in
favor Of it. Senator Vest who at first de-
eIared the talk of an extra session SILLY"
now believes that 1t may be necessary
Senator Cockrell of Missouri is strongly of
the opinion that the new Congress should
meet as soon after March as possible.
The chances are, therefore, that the pres
sure upon Mr.. Cleveland will be very great
and that he viii doubtless have to yield to
the general demand. although 1t will cost
IL
will be almost bounded to death by Office
seeking Congressman. He is already begin.
ming to show his ill-feeling over the matter.
and the Democrats are also beginElng to
believe that he is the same old mugyump
Grover"
AS matter Of fact, his notice to Office
seekers has sent cold cbllls chasing each
other down the Democratic spinal column.
There was certain talk at the Chicago
convention TO the effect that Cleveland had
learned something from experience and
would treat the hungry and thirsty better
this time than he did before. This talk
caused many of the delegates to report to
their friends that It would be all right this
time. and the circulation of petitions for
appointment began in all the back counties
on the day after election. In fact, the early
bird idea had complete possession of "the
people"
Coming upon them at this time. In the
glory Of their hope and expectation, this
announcement on the part of Mr.. Cleveland
canses reaction and there is a feeling that
Cleveland is going to be harder to manage
than he was before. The wise heads in the
party are looking for sharp fight between
Cleveland and the Democrats in the TWO
houses of Congress, and statesmen are
afraid that the new President is going TO be
altogether too independent for party pur-
poses.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 23.-President-elect
Cleveland's destination has been discovered.
He has gone TO Bradwater Island, near
Exmore. Va, on Cape Charles The island

sport and at the same time escape the i'm
pOrtunitiss Of ofice-seekers.
