Frosidcut-6"ct Cleveland Will not
call an extra session Of Congress, un-
less the Republican Senate shall at
the coming session 10y hanging up or
defeating some necessary appropriation
or measure, compel him to do So"
| hc speaker Of the above is Demo
crat who took a prominent part in the
campaign, and who has just returned
from New York, where he had num-
Ter Of conferences with the President
,lcct He - opposed to an extra SEES
ION oi Congress, believing that it
would hc bad business as well as bad
politics. rs indeed do many other Dem
uctats who were nj first inclined to
blink 1t good policy to hold an extra
session Tor tariff legislation. Unless
the prominent Republicans who have
turned mp IN Washington since the
election ARE mistaken, an attempt is
Ia hc made in the Senate to make an
extra session necessary by leaving I'M
done things that ought To be done.
This Is not 10 be done openly, but by
parliamentary chicancry, ut which the
Republican Senators are adopts.
Senator Carlisle, who is regarded by
many "a the next Secretary OF State,
thinks Mr.. Cleveland's little speech at
the banquet of the New York Cham
Der Of Commerce will have a happy eff
feet In counteracting the causeless
business scare which the Republicans
are trying 80 hard to extend over the
country. The sensible men of the
country know full we'll that the pros
pcriiy Of this country is IN no danger
at the hands Of the Democratic party,
but II they had been ever so uneasy
these words from Democracy's chosen
leader and Presidcnt-clcct would be
sufficient to reassure them: We are
all interested as Americans in COM
mon pursuit. Our purpose is, or ought
| tO be, in our several spheres, TO add to
the general fund Of national prosper
ity. From this fund we are all en-
titled to draw, perhaps not equally,
hut Justly. each receiving a fair portion
81 individual prosperity. Let us avoid
trampling on each other in our anx-
icty To- be first in the distribution of
shares. and let us not attempt to APP
propriate the share Of Others" Is this
the language Of u conspiratOr against
his country's welfare, or OF a patriotic
citizen who believes in every man be-
ing given chance to enjoy the great
est attainablo prosperity?
Senator Carlisle, who only stopped
In Washing ton a few hours. on his
way TO see his family, said OF the extra
session question: at will depend
upon conditions at this time undevel-
oped. and which only time will devel-
op. II there is an extra session it will
probably not meet until late in the
fall The tariff alone will not furnish
sufficient reason for an extra session.
The financial affairs OF the Govern
ment may be such rs to make an ex-
ira session imperative. 1t appears
probable that we shall find that there
il not enough money in the treasury
for the needs Of the government. There
j. n situation in the treasury which
every thoughtful man who has cOnsid-
cred the matter has long foreseen.
! There IL an accumulation OF deficien-
cics and obligations that have been
contracted and will come over to us.
/ II may be that this situation will fur
nish reason enough why an extra ses-
sion should DO called. We shall have
% see what In done at this session OF
Congress. II the Sherman silver law
he not repealed. and other action such
as the situation demands taken, We
may bc nwamped. Upon these things
depend the calling Of an extra ses-
/ sion"
Representative Wilson, OF West
Virginia, who presided over the Con-
yeniion which nominated Cleveland
and Stevenson, and who has now gone
10 New York upon the invitation OF
Mr.. Cleveland (many believe that he
can have n place in the cabinet, If he

session Of Congress as soon as practic-
able after the Inauguration, and follow

and value Of tariff bill cannot be
tested In n short time, and the first
effects appear 10 he sometimes what
they really are not. ! think it would
be most impolilio 10 place new tariff
hill before the. country just previous
10 the elections of 1894. For this
reason I favor the extra session idea
and think the sooner the proposed
tariff changes 20 into effect the better
will the final result he for our party"
