WASHINGTON LETTER. Pmm our regular correspondent. Washington, Dq C., A'VRii.fi/94 Republican Senators notified the democrats Senator Allison was raakin<f his great speech against the tariff bill that they knew their rights and intended to maintain them during this debate and that any expectation of railroading the bill through the. Senate, might as well be abandoned at the start. The democrats have put Senator Harris, of Tennesee, in charge of the bill because of their belief that his pushing qualities exceed those posessed by Senator Vortices, whose position as chairman of the Finance committee makes him the actual custodian of the bill. The recent elections have strengthened the republicans to fight the bill with every weapon at their command, the most of them believing that the 15,(100,000 people affected by the bill will endorsf any action that prevents the bill from becoming a law. The Rouse committee on Banking and Currency has favorbly reported a bill subjecting greenbacks to state and municipal taxation. The silver men regard this bill a great favor, believing that it will by making the greenbacks subject to t he same taxes now imposed on gold and silver money in banks result in largely increasing the amount of silver money 411 circulation. A silver bill has twice passed the Senate without a dissenting vote. It seems to be generally believed that the House, having failed to pass the coinage bill over the veto, will soon start in upon asilver fight over the free coinage bill which it is understood will in a few days be reported from the Coinage committee. To start this fight however will require a majority vote of the House. There were, exactly 24 democrats and four populists who voted against giving the seat in the House to which Mr. Joy was elected to Mr. O'Neill, but fhe steal having been ordered by a majority of the committee on elections was finally consummated,as well as that which unseated Mr. Hilboru, of California. It took about ten days of hard work to get a voting quorum of democrats willing to commit these outrages. Mr. Joy expects to be one of the republican majority of the next House. • Secretary Lament will be called on to make an explanation which will be very difficult for him to do as soon as he returns from his pleasant Southern ‘'inspection'’ tour. He" made a promise in Mr. Cleveland's mime, that has been violated by Mr. Cleveland. The story of the transucyMon may be summed up about as fell iws: Mr. Cleveland treated the democrats of Washington so shabbily during his first term that when he was nominated in 1892 the Washington democrats flatly refused to contribute a cent to help elect him. Now the Washington democrats had in previous campaigns contributed more largely in proportion to their numbers than those of any city, so the National committee desired to have them placated, and Dan Larnont was sent here to do the placating. They told Lament that Mr. Cleveland had filled the local offices with outsiders in his first term and thot they Wouldn’t chip in to elect him again. Whereupon Dan Lament pledged his word in behalf of Mr., Cleveland that no one should be appointed to an office in the District of Columbia who was not a bona tide resident.of the same, if the local democrats would chip in with their usual liberality. They accepted the pledge and broke all previous records for liberality; and this week the pledge has been broken by Mr. Cleveland, who nominated C. H. J. Taylor, a colored Kansas democrat, to be recorder of Deeds for the Di.--trict of Columbia. When Secretary Larnont returns he will hear from the local democrats. Meanwhile they are working to prevent the confirmation of Taylor s nomination, and judging from Senators’ talk they stand a good chance of ■ghe populists in the Senate seem to go it alone on the -ant

bill. Some time ago Senator Peffcr introduced a tariff bill of his own and gave notice that lie would at the propel* time move that it be substituted for the bill reported from the [ Finance committee, which is now be- ! fore the Senate. And this week Senator Allen, of Nebraska, -introduced an amendment to the tariff bill which makes a general and material reduction in the duties imposts! by the committees bill, and con- ! tains a provision for the free coinage j of silver. The question of a free coinage amendment to the tariff bill is causing the administration much anxiety. It will be remembered that, Senator Quay gave, notice before the tariff bill passed the House of his intention to offer a free coin - ! age amendment. Whenever a democrat in Congress gets too lively it is only necessary j to say one word —“elections' 1 —to j make him as glum as a discarded I lover. The returns from this week's elections only added to the certainty felt by republicans in Congress of controlling the next House and electing the next President. The republicans have added to the democratic humiliation by laughing- at their weak attempts to make light of the storm of popular indignation against | the incompetency of the democratic party.
