OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1894

WASHINGTON, Nov. u, 1894
Mr.. Cleveland has, accordinga to
Trustworthy information, fully de-
cided to give the country striking
exhibition Of the man who refuses
to either see or heed the object les
son contained in the greatest vote
of confidence in the Republican
party and condemnation of the
Democratic party ever put on record
by the people of the United States,
by coming out strongly IN his an
nual message to Congress, which is
already partially prepared, for the
passage by the Senate at the coming
session Of Congress of the Wilson
pop-gun tariff bills placing coal and
iron on the free list. 1t seems
almost absurd that he should be
willing, after the people have spo-
ken so plainly, to 90 on record with
such a recommendation. But he
has SO often been guilty of political
obtuseness, or, to express less ele-
oantly. bullheadedness, that moth
ing he does need astonlsh anybody.
In this case it is bound to be a
wasted recommendation, even if
the Democratic Senators should
drop their personal enmity to Mr..
Cleveland, which has been intensi-
fed by the great Democratic defeat,
long enough to try to pass the pop
gun bills, which 1t will be remem-
berod have already passed the
House. The Republican Senators
can, and will prevent the passage of
any tariff tlnkeripg bills at the
short session Of Congress, even if it
be necessary to block every appro-
prlation bill in order to do so, but
extreme measures will hardly be
necessary. There are reasons to
believe that a sufficient number of
Democratic Senators stand ready to
pledge their votes against the pop,
gun bills to insure their defeat, but
it is extremely doubtful whether
either of them viii be dIgnified to
the extent of being formally voted
npon.
The work Of Chairman Babcock,
OF The Republican Congressional
Campaign committee, has aroused
the admiration CT all those who
know anything about the manage
ment of campaigns. All the world,
of course, knows of the result of his
work-two hundred and fifty-odd
Republican Congressman and
almost certain control Of the Sen
ate after next Marceh-but the
inside or secret work of the cam
pagn is>only known to a few prom
incnt members of the party. They
saw that Mr.. Babcock has proven
himself one of tbs shrewdest direc,
tors Of campaign work the party
has ever had, which is high praise
indeed, and already movement II

transferring HIM to the National
committee Is not yet apparent.
Congressman Richardson, of
OHIO, a Democrat who was defeated
for reelection, is now in Washing
ton trying to find life preserver.
He gives as one of the several rea-
sons why Ohio went Republican by
1885, 900, that "the pension policy
of the administration has been most
disastrous to our party in Ohio.
Worthy pensioners have been cut
off right and left, and 1t seems that
special efforts have been made to
humiliate them"
Vice chairman Apsley, of the
Republican committee, says; 81
suppose that there is no doubt that
Mr.. Reed will be the next Speaker,
but | am not going to be shared
into making any predictions about
the probable nominee of the Repub-
lican party for President. The
party has an abundance and a
superabundance of good meD, and
there is time enough to consider
possibilities when the smoke Of bat
tie has cleared away"
The report that the admnistra-
ton is about to issue another lot of
bonds-some say $5O,OOO,OO0 and
others 500, 900, 000-fnds many
believers, Notwithstanding Secre-
tary Carlisle's positive denial.
There are two reasons for this.
First, the report originated with
friends of Mr.. Cleveland, and was
accompanied by the statement that
Mr.. Carlisle was opposed to another
issue of bonds without Congress
siogal action authorizing 1t and
that Mr.. Cleveland had taken the
matter into his own hands. believ-
ing that the necessity for strength
ening the gold reserve was urgent
and that Congress would not
authorize it if it were left to decide
the matter; and second, the known
need of the Treasury for more
money, owing to the failure Of the
new tariff to produce the amount
Of revenue that was anticipated.
Whatever the administration may
or may not do before Congress
assemblies, the bond question is
likely to be live one during the
session of Congress.
When the sweeping nature Of the
Republican victory is considered,
the Republicans have been very
modest in their demonstrations of
joy. For the most part they have
confined themselves to quiet con-
CALCULATIONS over the prospect
which that victory gives of a perma-
nent revival of prosperity through
out the country, now that business
men have something solid upon
which to base their future calcula-
tions, something which they have
lacked for two years, and without
which no country can enjoy real
and permanent prosperity. 1t is
regarded as really more of a bust
ness than a political victory, and
Republicans are all the more proud
OF it on that account.

THE IxDIcrMkKT 0UAsHED.
Judge Wfckham sustained tho Fourth
Plea In the Swtther's Cnse.


The Smither's precinct election fraud
cases have had another postponement.
Judge WiCkham delivered his decision
on the legal questions raised in the
Smither's precinct cases at the county
court yesterday morning. The Court over
ruled the three pleas which had been
argued at great length on saturday.
wnIcn were as follows:
First. Plea alleging the disqualification
OF Mr. A. h. Sheppard as a grand Juror
because he was a member Of the Board
Of Supervisors. and as such voted Tor
an appropriation Of 500 to employ tcial
counsel to prosecute election frauds. and
because he was the brother-'n-law or
the special prosecuting attorney. a part
of whose fee was contingent upon the IN
dictment.
Second. Alleging the improper conpc 81,
tion Of the grand jury, in that 10 grand
juror was sworn In In place of Mr. Deit-
rick, who was absent on one of the days
the grand jury sat; and further mat
MIR. Deitrick was allowed TO resume DIS
sittings with the grand jury at ihe next
in the place OF Mr. Fourqurean. VINO was
absent the day the Indictment was tcuho.
Third. Setting forth the fact mat TWO
additional grand jurors were summoned
on the first day Of the term 10 axe me
place OF the two who were ABSENT VIII
out a writ OF venire facias.
The Court however. sustained tne
fourth plea. which was filed 81 iate
hour Saturday afternoon, ana was Hol
argued bv counsel.
Not a little joking was made over the
fact that the legal questions which were
argued at such length were overruled
while the plea which was at once enec-
tive was submitted almost without com
mcnt
This plea maintained that the court
had no authority to summon in any way
two additional grand Jurors as there
were ten present, and the statute only
gave authority TO summon additional
grand jurors when there was not a sufli-
cient number present. and. under the
law, a grand jury of nine would have been
sufficient.
The court having sustained this plea,
Of course the indictment was Quashed:
Mr.. GUigon asked that the PAL ties be
held to answer q further indictment
which he proposed TO ask at the hands
Of a grand jury properly constituted,
but later stated that he had merely In
tended 10 follow the usual practice in
such cases. and as ne could find no stat
ute authorizing that course, and not wish
| ing 10 seem Vindictve. he withdrew the
| suggestion. JhereupOn, all the witnesses
| were recognized to appear on the FIRST
| day Of the next term Dune lltn) before
q special grand jury, which viii meet on
| that day.
This IN effect. places the matter back
where It started, except that IT, ci ,,at >
| the decks for action. and on the next
| round 1t will come up on its merits. The
