WASHINGTON, Nov. IA gentleman
who holds intimate relations with Repre-
sentative Holman, chairman of the COM
snittee on appropriations, says it is the in
sention Of that gentleman to render mop
erative the section in the federal election
law providing for the appointment of
United States marshals for service at the
polls at general elections by eliminating
the appropriation therefor. This he will
do my means of a rider to the judiciary
bill, which can be easily accomplished I'M
der the rules, as it will be in the nature of
areduetion Of expenditures II the senate
passes the bill and the president should
sign it. with this provision eliminated the
Republicans will be placed on record as
renouncing a measure they have always
stood up for.
Development of the SchRme.
Such a contingency will hardly happen,
for the president would hardly sign such a
bill were it TO receive the sanction OF both
houses. In this event, according to the
gentleman quoted, Holman will hold up
the bill and prevent its passage. This, OF
sourse, will leave the judiciary without the
funds with which to operate, and a neces-
sity will arise for the calling Of an extra
session Of congress. The congress then be-
ing In the hands OF the Democrats they
would pass the bill and stamp upon it their
disapproval of the force bill by cutting off
the.pAy of United States marshals at the
polls At the same time the initial steps
could be taken in the matter of arranging
for an expeditions consideration of the
tariff. measure that will come before the
Fiftyfthird congress.
Why Wilson Wants q Special.
Representative w. l.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, chairman of the Democratic ma
tiOnSEeOnvention, leading member of the
committee on ways and means, strongly
favors the calling Of q special session of
congress to consider tariff legislation. 1.-THE
true worth and value of tariff BILL he
said; Ecannot be tested in a short time and
the first effects appear sometimes to be
what they really are not. think it would
b BE most impoljtic to place q new tariff bill
before the country just previous to the cleo
lions 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 for our party
Carlisle Thinks 1t Depends.
Senrtor Carlisle, who is known as one of
Cleveland's closest political associates, was
in Washington yesterday en- route to Chi
cago, where he goes to visit his sons fam
lily. He knows nothing Of the intention of
the president-elect respecting the extra
session OF congress, but Senator Carlisle
said he did not believe Cleveland could tell
whether or not he would call an extra ses-
sion. II would all depend upon conditions
not yet developed and which in the nature
of things could not develop until later on.
"h there is an extra session." he said, dit
will probably not meet until late in the
fall 1t depends on circumstances The
tariff alone will not furnish sufficient rea-
son for an extra session. The financial af-
fairs of the government may be in such
shape as to make an extra session impera-
tive 1t appears probable that we shall
fnd that there is not enough money in the
treasury for the needs of the government
Refers to the Expected Deficit.
"There is a situation in the treasury
which every thoughtful man who has con-
sidered the matter has foreseen. There is
an accumulation of deficiencies and obi
cations that have been contracted AM will
come over to u.s. 1t may be that this stu
alton will furnish reason enough why an
extra session should bt called We shall
have to see what congress does at this ses-
sion. II they do not repeal the Sherman
law relating to the purchase of silver and
take such other action as the situation de-
nlands we may be swamped: Upon these
things depend the calling of an extra ses-
sionn
THE PRESIDENT NOT CAST DOWN.
He Advises General Picking of F1ints''
- and No Change in Policy.
Officials and Others who have talked with
President Harrison since the election say
that he takes a deep interest and an active
part in the consideration of plans for the
future conduct of the Republican party.
They say that in all their talks with him
the presidents utterances have tended to
encourage them to activity in the work of
organizing and strengthening the party.
There has been, they say, no dependency
in what he has said, and he wasted no time
IN vain regrets, but is earnest IN the feeling
shat more than ever there is need for com
Psctness and unity Of purpose in the party.
Organization" the Cry.
Pine discussion Of the reorganization in
ths sense, not Of change of principle or pol
icy, but Of perfecting the management
and methods, has already been taken up
by leading Republicans, and correspond
sncs looking to the Strengthening of the
organization has begun. A permanent or
aanisation, with workers who will keep
nm fbe work all the YEAR arnund and every
year, instead Of trying to do the work of
fsu1 years IN the few months before a pres
iasutial election, is what is aimed al,
