BLOOMINGTON, LIS, Now Hon.
Adlai Z. Stevenson, vice president.
spent to-day quietly in the seolusion Of
home OF his brother John, meditating
upon the political event OF yesterday
and preparing to attend tho wedding OF
a nephew, which takes place tonight.
Mr.. Stevenson, when asked to state
his opinion as to the causes leading up
to the Democratic defea: Of yesterday,
said: "My opinion can be briefly
stated. The result is duo in part to the
financial depression which came upon
the country soon after the Inauguration
Of Mr.. Cleveland. While the Democrats
were in no way responsible for this, they
we're made tho scape.goats. 1t was
also in part due to the delay OF Con.
gress in passing tho tariff bill. Had
the bill became law ninety days earlier
than itdid, 1t is quite probable that the
business conditions OF the country
would have so adjusted themselves
that the political result would have
been different"

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
House COIferees Claim That Senators
Are W eakening in Their Pre-
viOus Demand.
SENATORS DO NOT SAY so,
But Claim Matters Stand Very Much
as They Have Been---Caucus
on Thursday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The tariff
deadlock is breaking up, and after being
together two hours of the afternoon the
house conferees said positively that
there would be an agreement this week.
One of the conferees added that the
house men stood to their position and
that the agreement would be with sub
stantial concessions to the house.
1t was the first time, said the conferee,
that the senators had shown DISPOSE
ton to meet the house half way.
Representative Springer said 45
names had been signed to the petition
for house Democratic caucus on the
tariff Thursday. 1t takes 45 signatures
to secure call. He says the list will
reacch rs by Thursday.
Senate Conferees Net So Hopeful.
The senate conferees do not seem to
be so hopeful of a speedy agreement,
and say that it stands very much as it
has stood all along. The house confeees
have been insisting that if the bill is re-
ported back on the lines which they
propose, that it will be found that there
are votes enough in the senate to pass
the bill, and have been urging the SEN
ate conferees TO give the bill trial in
the senate Oh these lines. They assert
that upon no other basis can an agree
ment be reached. It is not claimed that
the senate conferees agree to any such
arrangement, but the house members
are hopeful that something Of the kind
will be DONE
