WASHINGTON, February 3.-The talk among
Democrats since the Senate passed the Tree
coinage substitute for the House bond bill has
been more favorable for some sort Of Il salts
factory financial compromise i'll the national
platform than at any time during the present
Session of Congress- and the result is already
Seensm more hopeful feeling among the
nenabers of the party, and in declarations Of
SUPPORT for the nominee of the Chicago Con-
yen5fon. Representative and Senator-eleCt
MoAsy, of Miss who represents strong silver
constituency, says that while he believes with
the Democrats of his State that it be suiciu;u
for the Chicag o Convention to- nominate single
standard candidate or make II single standard
platform that he has confidence i'll the assem-
bled wisdom of the convention and believes il
will nominate II good ticket and make Il good
platform, and knows that Mississippis electoral
votes will be Democratic as usual. EN-Speakcr
Crisp, whose silver views are well known, said:
81 expect to support tine nominee of the Chi
cIgO Convention, whoever lie Is. Representa-
tive Bailey, of Texas, another silver man, said:
"If ain forced TO choose between the RepuD
lican party, with its well-know policies; the
Popullst party with its Vagaries and pateranai-
ism, and the Democratic party, even with
gold standard platform, shall certainly sup
port the Democratic candidate. AS important
us | consider the silver question, l recognize
that there are other questions OF vast import
auce. No wise man would fOrSake many agree
ments on one disagreement, and embrace
many dsagreements ON one agreement Re
preventative Dinsmore, OF Ark, also friend
of silver, said ~ expect to stay in the Demo
cratic party. | believe the only hope for bmc-
tallism is in that party. We cannot afford to
split, as disintegration would weaken the cause
of sVer.' Representative OwenS,O Kentucky,
said democrats in Kentucky will support
the ticket nominated by the Chicago Convex
ton. They are already Disguised with the Re
publicanism and will return TO the faith of
their fathers, regardless of whether the ticket
and platform are precisely as they would have
them or otherwise
The four Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on Elections-Gray, Pugh, Turpe
and Palmer, voted against the report made by
that committee i'll favor OF seating Mr.. Dupont,
of Delaware, but as the Republicans, nOtwitl-
standing individual expressions to the COLI
trary, will all vote for him, and as they will al
most certainly be able 10 persuade enough
Populists to vote with them to make major
ity, it is expected that he will ice seated, al
though it may not be until after a hard fight.
Some of the friends of the other Republican
i'll Congress, are not feeling as
kindly towards Mckinley as they might. This
is owing news which has reached them from
their homes, concerning Mckinley's attempt
to make deals with the supporters of other can |
didates. These attempts are being made
through personal letters, written by Mckin-
ley, authorizing the hearers of them to speak
in his name and pledging himself to carry out |
any promises made by them. Among the States |
in which these Mckinley confidential agents |
have been trying to work are Minnesota, Iowa, |
New York and several OF the New England |
States. hint has been sent to Mckinley to
the effect that if he doesn't stop this sort of bust
ness the other candidates intend to retaliate 10y |
sending men TO Ohio To help along the Mckin- |
ley revolt, now reported to be well under way |
Senator German has decided not To he Il upc- |
gate to the National COnl cntiOn, and TO give |
up his PLACE upon the Democratic National |
Committee. In short. TO give up for II time all |
in national politics. He says his
sole reason for this is that he may during the |
ne xt two years devote his entire attention to |
getting Maryland back into the Democratic |
party, where she naturally belongs, and that |
after he has succeeded in that task he may re- |
5 uIne active connection with the national gf- |
fairs of the party.
RN-CongrCSSmun George Il. Davis, of Illinois, |
has the natural Republican love for govern |
ment money. 1t will be remembered that MIR |
Davis was Director General of the Worlds |
Fair. and that he drew salary which more |
than one person publicly charged to have been |
largely out of proportion to the value of the |
drew the salary. There isn't the slightest bit |
of doubt about that. Yet paragraph i'll the |
Urgency Deficiency Appropriation bill, which |
has already passed the Republican House, pro- |
videS that the United States Government shall |
pay Mr.. Davis lS,OO6- 10 cash, the 10 were |
put on to give the claim an appear
ance of eXactness for preparing his final |
Worlds Fair report. Unless some Senators |
who have expressed their opinions, shall |
change them, Mr. Davis would better not figure |
too confidently on ever handling that money.
President Cleveland has not yet decided what |
he will do about those Congressional Armenian |
resolutions, but Lord Salisbury has already |
shown how useless it will be to send them, Dy |
publicly stating that there will be no interven-
ton by the treaty power. c. A. S.
