Journal Bureau,
.. : Washington. D. C. Nov., 20. :.
. Senators and Representatives are get
ting qtiite numerous iu Washington, but
most of them stew more intent upon as
certaining "where they ure at'' than upon
, expressing their own opinions. The Re
publicans are practically unanimous Id
desiring that no action be taken opon the
tariff question at the short stssioa aoc
that an extra cession be vailed to meet as
oi as possible alter McKinley 's inaugu
ration lor the express putpnee of passing
. a general thrill" bill, und if the opinion ol
all the Republican umatnrs is correctly
represented by those uheadr in Washing-
nn it .terms uasouahly certain that no
attempt will be made to pass" the Dingley
tAiifT bill at this setsion and that an extra
tariff cession wll b': cnllcd as soon as
President McKinley ussumes office.
As a rale the Democrats, Deitbcr gold
ftor.silver ram, are doing any definite
talking for publication. They are cm
suiting, watching ench other and nailing
for ocvclopments bcfoie deciding upon
ther luiuie course, eich si!e hoping t
Ciintrol the party's lii'uru actions.
The -only two Popu'ists have
spoken Butler and PefUr arc not ol the
taiue opinion. Senator Butler eays lh
People's pa'ty is the organizitioo around
which all the friends of silver must pally
and that its banners will lead the Bilrer
Voters in ttielnext National contest, while
Senator Peffer says ihe best thing to tlo is
to nrganizi an entirely new paily eom
poser of oil the elements that opposed
- llcKiolci's election and invitiog the oo
uperntu'U nl all those'who may become
the opponents of bis ndmin'tstrutlon.
Predictions ure beinj freely made thnt
in the ocur luturu all the advocates of the
gold standard will be lound iu the Repub
lican party, and all of the a '-vocates ol
Hie free coinage of silvr at 16 to 1 will
be ftnalamated into the opposition party
whatever its name mty be Much will
depmd upon the action of tils' Fifty fifth
Conures9, and upon the business "of th
Country.
When it comes to fiuding something
that dues not exist, the Washington news

tain. man cannot lie ai aggressive as
Mr. Reed is.by nature without making en
. emies, but that there are or will be enough
such men to make even the semblance 0
: a contest against Mr. Reed's Domination,
Is so improbable that it is almost a waste
of time to dhcuss it. The finder of these
opposition cigi (in a mart's neat takes it
for grantel that Mr McKinley will
throw the influence Jof bis administration

would regard war ns a great cilamity,
for even with a weak country like Spain

Raleior, N..O. November 30 Pop
ulist Stale Committeeman A. S. Pi nee is
here and said tod.y of the Sinalorial iigln
now attracting so much attention:
"The Populists are distinctively in this
fight and are Igoing lo have a say in Ine
matter. I do not think (he Republicans
have secured as many Populists to vote
for Pritphard as they claim- I think they
have secured tome, under certain rotuli'
(ions. These conditions would be frct
?ilver, that Pritchard should declare fur
it or else be the man whose coutse is en
dorsed by the Populist caucus.
The (Populists regard themselves as
under no obligations to tho Republicans
on account of the hitler's vote for Senator
Butler. They deny that there was any
agreement tb vote this time for Pritchard
and say that if tbtre was an implied
agreement it waron the basis that Pilch
ard was for free silver."
