With reference to the expectation of
the opposition that In the next congress
developments will renew the differ

schools and force them farther apart
than ever, this appeared In news

1T Is known that there is small
ground for this hope, since the two ele-
inents of the party ure seeking to reach
more harmonious relations than ever
before. The so-called regulars, accord
ing to authentic knowledge, have no
disposition to pursue any course objec.
tionnble to the Progressvcs, but are
counting upon adopting most progress
sive policy In case they are placed In
control OF the house. II Is also known
that the leading spirits among the Pro.
gressives are not disposed to impose
radical conditions upon the rcgulars

progressive policy Of character which
the regulars can accept without a wry

But their gains at the same time
were considerable. These will appear
In both senate and house. where mem

where they should give good account
Of themselves.
These men are Republicans. and
were elected on the Republican milton

The fight for the Sixty.sixth con.
