During the interview l conveyed to
him all the information 1 bad in ref
erence to the congressional contests
throughout the country, and the pros.
poets Of the Democratic party in the
various states. Our conversation was
confined to the outlook in pending con-
gressional elections, and. found the
president, as in previous conversations
involving the Democratic party, man
ifesting the deepest concerning in the
information 1 communicated to him,
and in the hopes 1 expressed for our
success in maintaining the Democrat
ic majority in the Fifty-fourth con-
gress. OF course the tariff law as
passed is not in accordance with his
views Of the pledges of the party in
its declaration at Chicago, but, as he
has already stated, what will be done
will tighten many tariff burdens that
now rest heavily on the people"
