WASHINGTON, D. c., April H.
The latest De no,ra'ic scheme to aid in
throwing the election of President iuto
t e House of representatives. is shrewd,
bat it will not work, for the very simple
reason that the Republican leaders see
through it and will take care that it is
made equally clear to the voters in the
States concerned. At consultation at
tended by Senators G, rman Blice and
Hill, and some other prominent Demo.
Gratis, it was decided that it would greatly
rengthen the chances of the third
party to carry. Of course with the assis.
lance Of the solid Democratic vote, -four
or five of the northwestern States, if it
could be made to appear probable that i,
could AIRY an equal number Of southern
| States.
Carrying out the idea of that confer
ence. southern Democrats of prominence
have "filled up" every newspaper man
that they could get at with fears that
the third party may carry from four to
ven OF the southern States, and lots of
rot has been telegraphed from here c n
cernng this alleged new phase of the
Presidential campaign. New nothing.
There is as much probability that the
/ electoral votes Of any southern State,
with the exception Of the two Virginie.,
either or both of which may be carried
o. the Republicans, will be cast for
third party candidate as there is that
Texas will 80 Republican. 1t is simply
dodge to try to catch Republican voters
who belong to the farmers organization
in the northwestern States.

few of them, the very men too that cor.
science should have kept silent, the bill

to entertain the members of the G.. A. R.
At the coming encampment in this city,
was passed by the Senate. Only ten
Democrats had the nerve to cast their
votes against the b Il when the test came,
md every one of them represents tx-C Con-

The Worlds fair Congress aional com
nttees have been giving hearings both
TOR and against the opening of the expo.

nents go the opposition to Sunday open
my has decidedly the best OF it. VIVA,

'nything i matter of doubt; it woula
"ueh ptfer escaping responsibility by
doing nothing, but the pressure is be.
coming SO strong that some action will

Real estate spectators are everywher,
shrewd lot, but those in Washington
should lie rated above them all: they
