clustering to prevent a veto when Mr..
Bland makes his motion to pass the
bill over the veto. There are few
Republicans who will vote for the mo-
ton anyway, and all that would be
necessary for it to receive more than
than the necessary two-thirds vote
would be for the other Republicans to
abstain from voting. as more than
two-thirds of the Democrats will vote
for the motion. The out and-out sill
yer men are not, however, anxious to
see the Bland bill passed over the We
to. They prefer it to be out of the
way, SO that they will be free to try
to pass free coinage bill.
The Democratic Senators privately
admit that they are not confident of
passing the tariff bill, and the widest
man no longer talks of passing it by
the first of May There is much Cos
sip of an attempt being made to attach
a free coinage amendment to the bill
but even if the attempt is to be made
which is not certain, it cannot be done
until the bill reaches the amendment
stage, which is sometime off.
Democratic Senators positively re-
fused to grant hearing to delegation
of New England women mill-workers,
who came to Washington to protest
against the injustice of the tariff bill
in dealing with matters in which the
mill-workers are vitality interested but
they got hearing-Republican Sen
ators gave it to them-and their OBJ
jections to the bill will be stated to the
Senate and to the country by Republi-
can Senators during the debate on the
tariff bill, which opened to-day, ac-
cording to programme.
Those Democratic Congressman who
have been backing other applicants for
the position are as mad over the an
nouncement that the EEK" rule is
again to be violated, and Mr. Thomas
f. Benedict, who was Public Printer
under the first Cleveland administra-
ton, is to again have that office, as
they have been along because Hon.
Frank w. Palmer, admittedly one of
the best Public Printers the country
ever had, has not only been allowed
to keep the Office, but was actually
begged to keep it until Mr.. Cleveland
got ready to select his Democratic sue
.cessor. One oE the principal things
remembered by Republicans against
Mr.. Benedict's previous administra-
ton of the office is the large number
of old soldiers who were dismissed by
him.
The fight in the House to give the
seat now held by Representative Joy,
of Missouri, to Democratic contest
ant who was not elected, which has
been waged for more than week
without success, Notwithstanding some
very autocratic acts of Speaker Crisp,
has brought out the fact that there are
a score or more of Democrats in the
House who are too conscientious to
take part in the theft of the seat mere
ly to add one more to Democratic
of ninety. But the act will
doubtless be consummated this week,
III spite of the protests of Republicans
and the non-voting of conscientious
Democrats, as the absentees are being
and brought in and voting
Democratic quorum will probably be
obtained.
1t is just now little pulling to |
know why Secretary Charlisle should I
have considered it necessary to go to /
New York to assure the bankers of
that city that Mr.. Cleveland would I
make no concessions to the free silver I
men in Congress. Why wasn't the
veto message considered assurance
Some of the silver men ex-
press the fear that the administration
is making arrangements for another
bond issue, similar to the last one. Be I
that as it will, it may be set down as
certain that Congress will /
not follow Mr.. Cleveland's recon-
by authorizing a bond is
sue.
Senator Voorhees, was little stag I
gered the other day when confronted /
BY the Democratic Governor of Indi-
ana, and his staff, who had come to I
to protest against the
tariff bill as it now stands. He could |
not turn them down, like he did New
England woman. so they had short +
but sharp word battle, the Senator
and the Governor being the chief
lighters. Governor Matthews, who is /
to be candidate for Voor-
hees's seat in the Senate, told the I
Senator that the Indiana Democrats
demanded a restoration of the original |
free list of the Wilson bill. Voorhees,
denied it, and said that Matthews had I
been trying to work up Democratic
opposition to the bill, hoping to use
it to advance his Senatorial aspira-
tons. Matthews gave him to under
derstand that the matter would figure
in the Senatorial election.
Manager Lambert assures his pat
rons that Marie Sanger Co., which ap-
