PATRIOTISM ABOVE PARTY.
MANY DEMOCRATS PROMISE TO VOTE
FOR THE WAR TAX BILL.
PARTIsANsHIP sUBoRDISArED TO THE NECESSITY
OF SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT IN
THE PRESENT EMERGENCY.

THE PRESENT EMERGENCY.
rnr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBrSEl
Washington. April 2S.-The threats or declara-
tons OF Mr.. Bailey. OF Texas. that we
meaning the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republican Representatives-woud vote solidly
against The War Tax bill. unless certain changes
outlined and advocated In his speech yesterday
should be made will not be carried out. At
least two Of the Democratic members Of the
Ways and Means Committee will vote for the
bill even with tho bond and certificate sections
retained and II the income tax amendment and
the proposition to coin the so-called seigniorage
arc rejected. as will undoubtedly be the case.
The two members referred to General
Wheeler. Of Alabama and Mr. Mcclellan Of
New-Y York. and Indications now are that score
or more Of their party associates VIII follow
their example
Several OF these Democrats, with whom
Tribune correspondent conversed to-day, de-
cared that they could not afford and did not de-
sire or propose TO allow partisan considerations
n lead or drive them into an unpatriotic atti-
tude at such n time as this. They did not In
tend to recant or discard their opinions as
Democrats in regard to the desira oty OF an In
come tax or on the silver question. and their
support Of the pending measure must not be
So construed. What they did intend was TO sink
partisanship for the time being and vote for the
pending measure ard every other measure that
might be necessary and practicable for the sup
port Of the Government and the vigorous prose
Cution Of the war to a successful termination
Another consideration IL Influencing to n con-
siderable extent the minds OF Democrats who DO
not propose TO follow the lead Of Mr.. Bailey on
this occasion. and that Is tho uncertainty ana
utter inadeQuacy Of the means he would resort
81, ofc
war expenditures Both tho uncertainty and IN
adequacy have already been completely ana
convnc!nely demonstrated in the course OF the
debate by Chairman Dingley and Mcssrs Payne.
Hopkins and others. whose statements and argyll
ments appear TO have made considerable i'm
preston upon many members Of the minority
whose minds are not usually open to conviction
from such sources That this Is true was strong
" indicated to-day by the scant attention paid
by them when NJ. McMillin was delivering an
elaborate argument to prove that the decision
Of the supreme Court 81 tho United States In
the income tax cases Of 1881 was all wrong
or course as the father ~ tho Income tax pro-
visions OF the Wilson bill" Mr.. McMillin was
under bonds to reargue the income tax cases
which were Settled ny the highest judicial tribu-
nal three years ago and yet II seemed a waste
ful use OF time under the circumstances.
The debate TODAY was marked ny strong ana
convincing speeches by Messrs Payne. DalzeU.
Uopkins and others in favor Of tho pending
measure The principal speech on tho other SIDE
was that Of Mr. McMllin. ~ Tennessee
