This would afford the repositories q

The Republic Bureau.


Washington. Aug. Ex-senator John W.
Daniel Of Virginia declares himself uncom-
promisingly opposed to the present Repub-
licau programme Of financial legislation.
In view of the fact that Senator Daniel Is
now the ranking Democratic member of the
Senate Committee on Finance. having Sue
ceeded to that position by the retirement OF
Senator Vest of Missouri. has declared atti-
tude is of very great importance at this
time.
By virtue of his rank on the committee
the Virginian will be the leader of the
minority in whatever financial legislation is
proposed by the administration leaders at
the forthcoming extra session Of Congress.
Senator Daniel was seen at his country
home. near Lynchburg, Va, to-day by The
Republic correspondent. Although he rarely
talks for publication except from his seat
in the Senate, the Importance of the sub
ject Of financial legislation appeals to him
so strongly that he readily consented to
make a statement to The Republic.
While asserting that at this time that he
views the subject with an open mind and
that he does not regard as an impossibility
the task the Republican leaders have under
taken to frame a bill that will meet the
approval Of the majority Of Democrats in
he does not believe there will be any f1nan-
cial legislation this winter unless the Re
publicans devise scheme that is radical
~ different. both from the Aldrich bill and
the Fowler asset banking proposition.
He is unalterably opposed to the general
features of both of these measures, and
believes that in this position he will have
the support of the majority of his Demo-
cratic colleagues on the Finance Committee.
Would you favor at the next session the
financial legislation proposed at the last ses-
sion of Congress in the Aidrich billy the
Senator was asked.

II would suppose that a subcommittee
