Counsellor Otto Grouse expressed it as
his opinion that the party is better

done a great deal to put an end to per-
sonal conflicts and differences" he said.
.'I believe The system the only proper
one for the party managers to pursue.
1t gives everyone an equal chance, and
it is my experience that Democrats never

defeated have assured rneir victorious
opponents that they propose working
faithfully at the polls. All we require
is unity, and Democratic success, will
follow. We should all work for the regu-

THE FRENCH MINISTRY STABLE
BIZ Cable to The United Pres.

PARIS, Oct. %, 1894-The newspapers
of Paris today discuss at considerable
length the resumption tomorrow of the
sittings of the Chamber of Deputies and
the Senate. The generally expressed
opinion is that, despite the uncertainty
of the situation, the Ministry is in no
danger. The Government, it is believed,
can easily dispose of all the interpella-
tions presented, but that difficulty will
be experienced when the budget is de-
bated.
The opponents of the Government rely
upon a surprise that will be brought out
during the progress of the debate to
cause the overthrow of the Ministry.
