Of the correct democratic policy and
the one which he will urge his follow
ers to adopt as their own during the
extra session, is here defined by him
self:
The democrats have l21 representatives in

ing In all 1853 members of the opposition The
republicans have 20, majority over all Of 81,

As my voice ind influence go in shaping their
policy, to ipterpose no obstructive opposition
to the passage Of tariff bill but to insist upon
being accorded q fair hearing in the debate
upon that measure. We want to go on record
as expressing the opinion that republican poll
cies and principles, as exempllfied in the
proposed bill, are wrong and will not
bring about return of prosperity. II
