Republicans.
mEssRs. DANIEL AND MARTIN.
They Occupy Favorable Position
with Reference to Committee As
signments-Secrcta Morton TO
Speak mt Manassas.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. July 27.-(Spe-
cial.)-There has been a great deal OF sos
sip here during the past few days re-
garding the organization OF the Senate
next winter. 1t seems to be generally
thought that the Republicans viii be I'M
able to control that body unless they can
secure assistance from at least two OF
the Populists. So far as can be ascer-
tanned from conversations with North
Carolinians who are acquainted with
Mr.. Marion Butler, he is not likely to
train with the Republicans, even though
the temptation might be. great II he
expects any political future 1t VIII be
bad Investment for him 10 have too
much 10 do with the Republicans. Their
policies are in direct conflict with all his
professions. They are welded, as a
rule, to high tariff. and comparatively
few Republicans outside OF the far West
are advocates Of the free coinage II sill
yer. Mr. Buffers predictions are Demo-
cratic. ana even though he strayed of
into the Populist fold his friends do not
imagine hi could so soon unite with the
Republicans If they were 10 secure his
help under promise Of fine committee as
signments they would naturally expect
him 10 do their bidding. and that could
only weaken him with his constituents.
The Republicans, exclusive OF the one
seat they claim from Delaware. VIII have
only f0rty-three votes when the Senate
meets Mr.. Dixon will not under any cir
cumstances be permitted TO take part in
the organization. Senator's Stewart and
PETER. who were former Republicans. as
sert most positively they will have no
thing to do with that party in the future.
Messrs. Kyle and Allen. occupy seals on
the Democratic side Of the chamber. ard
they are not believed to be disposed
TO do anything TO help the Republicans
organize. Senator Jones. Of Nevada, who
some months since announced his CONVEX
sion TO Populism, Will probably vote win
the Republicans in the organization, but
they must get one more vote to succeed.
REPUBLICAN PLANS.
The talk here IS that the Republican
leaders will not treat with the POpulists,
and some people think they are really
not anxious TO control the Senate. The
House will be overwhelmingly Republi-
can, and. with Mr.. Cleveland in the
White House, they VIII prefer TO rave
one branch Of Congress I'm the hands Of
the Opposition. so that all the blame for
legislation cannot be charged 10 the Re
pubicans on the eve of a presidential
election.
In the event the Democrats retain con-
troll OF the Senate, Senator Daniel will
have moro important committee positions
than he has yet held This Will be owing
to vacancies and his long service. IT Will
also be a favorable opportunity for Mr..
Martin. of Virginia. who will take his scat
next December

Abingdon. and Mr.. w. r. Trlgg, presi-
dent of the Richmond Locomotive Works,
who have been here for several DAYS at

before the Navy Department. left for
their respective homes to-day.
