SORRY DEMOCRATS
 LOST NEXT HOUSE.
Congressman Brundidge Believes Re publicans Would Have had no Chance for Next President Had Democrats Secured
 Control of House

Congressman s. Brundidge, Jr., of searey was among the prominent visitors in Little Rock Tuesday. In reply toa query from Gazette re porter NIT. Brundidge said that he did not gree with anyone who advanced the 1neory that it was better for the Democrats not to control the next house tiff the Democratic party had come into power" he said, 'there would undoubtedly have beer trust and sariff legislation in that brailch of congress- Any measures passed byf Democratic house would undoubtedly hava been killed by the Republican senate. Thus the burden and res- ponsibility of the whole matter would have been thrown entirely upon the Republicans, and redounded to the credit of the Democrats before the great mass of people, who are in favor Of tariff revision. AS 1t is now do noE believe that there will be any ac : uicn taken on trust questions in the next congress. As to putting the tariff into the hands of a commission tor Recommendation l do not be- lieFe that it amounts to row of pins; except for accomplishing the purpose of the Republican party to delay all action on the burning question. It has been the history of every com mission of the sort that know of l that delay was the prime result. They. never amount to anything else, and if the tariff is put into the hands Of q commission l am convinced that the result will be the same.
 The last session of the present con gress, which will begin in few days, will be occupied mainly in making ap- propriations, at least until after the holidays, and trust Legislation is going to be knocked out on that score. The I Republicans don't want to do any, 1 thing, and all their efforts will be lconcentrated in delay.
 If the Democrats had won in the last election and an anti trust meas lure. as said, had been killed by the geppblican senate in the next con gress, I don't believe the Republicans would have had any need to put 2 candidate for president in the field the sentiment of the country would have been so overwhelmingly Demo. ! cratic"
 l MT Brundidge will leave nexl Thursday for Washington, next Mon day being the date for congress tc convene, when the presidents mes sage will be read.
