Against Republican Financial Plan.

Against Republican Financial Plan.
Washington, D. c.. Aug. 15.-Senator
John w. Daniel. of Virginia, declares
himself as uncompromisingiy opposed
to the present republican program for
financial legislation. In view Of the
ranking democratic member Of the SEN
ate committee on finance, his declared
attitude is Of great Importance at this
time. The Virginian may be the leader
OF the minority in whatever financial
legislation is proposed by the admins
tration.
Senator Daniel was seen az his coun-
try home near Lynchbur. Va, yester-
day While asserting that he views the
subject with an open mind, he does not
regard as an impossibiiity the task the
republican leaders have undertaken to
frame bill that will meet the approval
OF the majority of the democrats In the
senate.
Senator Daniel frankly avows that he
does not believe there will be any finan-
cial legislation this winter unless the
republicans devise some scheme radi-
eally different from both the Aldrich
bill and the Fowler asset banking prop
osition. He is unalterably opposed to
the general features of both OF these
measures. and believes that in this po-
sition he will have the support of the
majority of his democratic colleagues
III the finance committee.
In the opinion of Senator Daniel the
financial question will bi. the most Inn
portant subject before the next con-
gress, and can not be settled at any ex-
ira session called in November or Oc-
tOber.
