CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate yesterday evening the
question of electing Senators by the
people was discussed by Senators Nit
chell, Perkins, Chandler, Palmer and
Hawley. Mr.. Palmer took occasion to
savagely denounce machine rule in poll
tics, particularly in his own State of IL.
linois, and to express his opposition to
and defiance of the machine" The
feeling for an adjournment was indicat-
ed by resolution by Mr.. Aldrich, fix
ing Monday next at 2 p. m. as the time
for adjournment. MIR. Aldrich said
there was general desire to adjourn,
and he believed the pending disagree
ments on appropriation bills could be
wound up in twenty-four hours if a
little pressure was exerted. Mr.. AL
lison, chairman of the appropriation
committee, stated that progress was be-
ing made on the conferences, but he
doubted whether agreements could be
reached before Monday. The resolu.
ton was referred to the committee on
appropriations.
In the House, after Lockhart, demo-
crat from North Carolina, had been I'M
seated and his place given to Martin,
populist, the contested election case of
Rinaker, republican, against Downing,
democrat, from the 18th Illinois district,
was then taken up. Downing was also
unseated and his place given to Rinaker.
Mr.. Downing was the only democrat
from Illinois. A good deal of partisan
feeling was aroused among the demo-
Gratis by the rulings of Mr.. Payne, of
New York, who was temporarily in the
chair, and on one or two occasions there
was reminder of the turbulent scenes
of the Fifty.frst Congress. The demo-
Gratis left the hall in an effort to break
quorum, but Mr.. Payne declined to
recognize the point of no quorum,
or to entertain the appeal from his de-
cision. An effort will be made to I'M
seat Representative Tucker, of 'Vir-
ginia, although the committee on cleo
ton reported that he was fairly elected
to the House.
Responding to House resolution of
February II last, Secretary Carlisle has
sent to that body a communication con-
tanning various information of fnan-
cial nature.
Chairman Dingley, of the House
ways and means committee made an
adverse report on the Senate resolution
prohibiting bond issues without author
ity of Congress, but with the under
standing that it should go over without
action in the House unil the next sess-
sion. The report is signed by eleven re-
publicans and two democrats.
In anticipation of the Presidents We
to of the general deficiency bill, new
bill is being prepared, emitting the war
and French spoliation claims.

SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1896.

Mr.. MCKINLEY recently said to the
editor of the Republican of Harrison
burg, in this State, who had called upon
him:
1.-The South is coming around to Do,
lieve in protection, and this fall several
of these States may cast their votes for
our electoral ticket. When this IS true
we can afford to lose some Northern or
Western States that run after foolish
Dopulistic theories, and want to try
every experiment suggested. L am
having letters every day from men
in that section who have been life long
and influential democrats, assuring me
of their cordial support, and declaring
they will never again vote the demo-
cratic ticket"
Is it possible that Mr.. Mckinley has
so recanted his great love of the white
metal, publicly expressed only a few
years ago, as to term free silver fool
ish populistic theory? And then, too,
of all the letters he is receiving every
day from life long Southern democrats,
assuring him that they will never again
vote the democratic ticket, he might at
least mention the name of single one,
especially as even he comedies that ale
legged prescription and ostracism for
political opinion have ceased in the
South.

THE PARTIsANIsM of the large repub'
lican majority in the present o. S.
House of Representatives is so great
that it not only overrides all law, jus
tice and equity, but even the reports
ofthe republican elections committees Of
the House, and turns out democratic
members of that body, and gives their
seats to their republican contestants,
though those reports say the former
were fairly and legally elected, and that
the latter were not.

WITH THE aid of a good pair of spec
tscles, Mr.. Cleveland has not been able
to discern any endorsement of his adj
ministration by the Staunton conyen-
ton. His case has recalled the memory
of similar Virginia democratic con-
yention in the time of President Buch-
anan. They could not praise him and
didn't want to condemn him, so they
concluded not to say any thing about
him at all. "Old Buck" scrutinized the

THE cUcKoos find great fault with
the democrats of this State for dispara.
ging Mr.. Cleveland, who, they say, lis
the only democratic President We have
had for thirty.five years." He is, but
any other nominee of the national
democratic convention would have
been, and, what's more, would have
been elected in 1888 as we'll as in 'S4
and '92, and then, too, it is we'll known,
that it was only the famous three RS
that first elected him. Besides, the fact
that he is the only democratic Presi-
dent the country has had since 1860, liz
the greater reason why he should have
SO conducted himself as not to drive
the democratic party away from him,
and not be, as Senator Martin says he
IS, the wrecker of his party.

GEN. LoNGsrREET.-General James
Longstreet will not attend the Confed-
crate reunion at Richmand. Col. Kirk
Otey, of Lynchburg, has received letter
from the general stating that he had
cancelled his order for rooms at the
Jefferson Hotel. Mr.. Vim. L. Royal,
the editor of the Richmond Times, will
deliver his lecture on the battle of Get
tysburg during the reunion. As the
lecturer criticises Longstreet severely
for his share in that engagement, it is
understood that the general has refus-
ed to 60 to Richmond to be made the
subject of an attack which he considers
without foundation.

THE attempt of the republican mana
gers TO make the tariff the chief issue
of the next national election is puerile
and silly. The currency question, and
it alone, is what the people of the coun-
try want to settle next fall. But if it
were otherwise, and the tariff were the
chief issue of the campaign, the South
certainly should cast solid vote for
the democratic nominee, for, no matter
what effect high tariff has had or
may have upon the North, that it has
been and will be injurious to the South,
is we'll known to most of the intelli-
gent people Of this section of the coun-
try. Free trade and farmers rights,
the privilege of buying in the cheapest,
and selling in the dearest market,
should make the people of the Southern
States cast united vote in the next cleo
toral college, as Virginia will do at the
Chicago convention.
