WASHINGTON, D. c., Now Ex-senator
Carlisle was in Washington to-day and
left here tonight for Chicago.
He put aside the talk of his going
into cabinet as thing not to be dis
cussed at all. Speaking OF the prospect
OF an extra session, he said that it was
absolutely impossible to say now
whether or not there would be All extra
session. 1t would all depend upon
conditions not yet Developed and which
in tho nature OF things could not develop
until later ON. ali there is an extra
session." he said, ut will probably not
meet until late in the fall. 1t depends
on circumstances. The tariff reform
wilI.not furnish sufficient reason for an
extra session. The financial affairs OF
the government may be in such shape
Ms 10 make an extra session imperative.
Il appears probable that we shall find
that there is not enough money in the
treasury for the needs oil the govern
ment. There is situation In the treas
ury which every thoughtful man who
has considered the matter has foreseen.
There is an accumulation OF deticI'
encies and obligations that have been
contracted and will come over to US.
at may be that this situation will
furnish reason enough why an extra
session should be called. We shall
have to see what Congress does at this
session. II they don't repeal the Sher-
man law relating to the purchase OF
silver and take such other action as the
situation demands we may be swamped.
Upon these things depend the calling
OF an extra session"
The other view OF the case was taken
by Representative Wilson, OF West Vir-
ginia, the chairman OF the convention,
who. before leaving Washington to-day
for New York, said:
"The true worth and value Of tariff
bill cannot be tested in short time
and the first effects appear sometimes
to be what they really arc not. |
think it would be most impolitic to
place a new tariff bill before the coun-
try lust previous to the elections OF
1894. For this reason favor the extra
session idea and think the sooner the
proposed tariff changes go into effect
the better will the final result be ior
our party"
A New York dispatch says: Con-
gresham Breckenridge was, seen by
reporter at the Hoffman House to-day
and expressed his views fully ON the
situation,
II cannot see the need of an extra
session." he said, "but OF course | have
nothing to say about that II Mr. Cleve-
land does not favor it that settles the
question.
"As to tariff legislation, l think tho
party will 60 slowly and be governed
by wise counsels Mr.. Depew and Mr.
REID say they are in favor OF giving the
Democrats a chance to 90 ahead ut once
with their reform programme, and that
would seem to mean that they would
like to see some tariff legislation ut the
coming session OF Congress.
Nothing would give me greater salts
faction than to see the senate take up
the bills that were passed by the house
last winter and put them through.
That would be beginning, and the
sooner we begin the better
Since the election of Mr. Cleveland
the leading Democrats OF the district
have been considering with more or
less interest the proper method OF APP
pointing an inauguration committee.
The first definite move in that direction
was taken Mt meeting, or conference,
OF Democrats held at the Ebbitt House
last evening Mr.. NJ. T. Morris presid-
cd, and q statement was made by Mr..
James L. Norris, the member from. the
district oil the national committee, to
the effect that after consultation with
Senator Forman, it had been decided to
recommend that the plan adopted
eight years ago, when Mr.. Cleveland
was elected, be followed on this occa-
sion. This plan in substance is the Sc.
lection by the Democratic national
committee OF fifty citizens to take
charge OF the ceremonies outside the
capitol. The meeting last night pre-
pared such list, headed by Col. James
G. Berrct, who presided over the inau.
guration committee eight years ago, and
the list was sent to Chairman Hhrrity,
OF tho Democratic committee, for ap-
proval.
