Cummins Crowd Satisfied.

Captain Hull now intimates strongly
that the Cummins people in Iowa have
practically accepted the proposition to
defer revision until after the Prestden-
tjaI election. although they will in their
platform renew their demand for tariff
changes, but with the understanding
that the matter shall not be pressed at
the forthcoming session OF Congress.
The Cummins faction has been assured
that II a Republican President and
Republican House shall be chosen in
1904 thereafter the party viii undertake
the work Of making such notifications
OF the existing schedules as the eo1-
ditions shall demand.
While the Cummins men do not desire
to appear as having surrendered their
demand there is good reason TO believe
that they have agreed 10 a compromise
whereby they viii be allowed TO keep
up their talk about tariff changes, but
that nothing in the way of legislation
shall be done for two years.
