(from our regular correspoadect) Wasiiixo.iox, Nov. 28, 1S90 The President having finished his annual message to Gongress is nowl devoting the greater part of his time to comenn Mr with prominent repub-1 tho sickness and burial of our belor tho legislation of the ses-1 d Ella. We fGel that we owe them licans on tho sion of Congress that will open next Monday, speaker Reed, Represen tatives McKinley and Gannon, tho republican members of tho Housj committee on Rules, which has di rect charge of the business to conn" before the House, are all htre, and have taken conspicious parts in these conferences. They think with the, President that every republican Rep resentative should no in his seat next Monday, and should remain hero un til the end of the session in order that the large amount of business mapped out to bo transacted shall not be ob structed by tiie democrats through lack of a quorum of republicans. So plain is this duty that no special methods hare been thought necessary by the party leaders to impress it up on the minds of tho individual re publican Repreentatives. But so slow are the arrivals of re publican Repreaentatives that some uneasiness is being felt in rejjard to there being a quorum of republicans present when tho Hour.o is called to or dor at noon next Monday, and the democrats are already gloating over even the prospective lack of a repiib lican quorum, and are openly prophe sying that thoy will bo able to block all legislation that does not meet with their approval. The republicans already here are loth to believe that any member of the party can so far forget his duty both to his party and his constiuents as to remain away except in case of absolute necessity during any part of what is to bo one of the most impor tant short sessions of Congress ever held, and if any of them should prove derelict they will never be forgiven for it, and thoy should'nt be, oither. If Mr. McKinley is a trustworthy prophet, and I am inclined to think ho is, the following in his own words covers tho republican programme: "Wc will pass tho appropiation bills, tho apportionment bill, tho circuit court bill which relieves tho su preme Court, and which has come back to the Honse where it originated after being amended by the Senate, and a shipping bill. I have no in fonnatisn as to what tho Senate will do with the election bill, but I assnme it will pass it. I do not believe any general pension bills will be pas sed, but the Union prisoners of war bill, which is meritorious, and one or two other measures for tho benefit of deserving classes of pensioners may become laws." Senator Edmunds, who nover speaks lightly on any sub ject, says the Senate will pas3 the Federal Election bill. The political sensation of the week is the open Senatorial revolt agaiust Mr. Cleveland as the fore ordained nominee of tiie democratic party in 1892. It is headed by Sen ators Gorman of Maryland, and Daniels and Baibour, of Virginia. It is tho all-absorbing topic of con versation among democrats, and it has Gaused a goodly number of them to straddle tho fence, so far as the Presidential nomination is concerned. The Hill democrats are fairly shout ing Aith glee, but thoy had better curb their enthusiasm. Senator Gor man himself has aspirations, and Mr. Barbour is believed to favor a west ern candidate, so that even if Cleve land is knocked out it by no means follows that Hill can get the nom ination. It is hardly probable that any silver legislation can be secured this winter notwithstanding the largo number of influential republicans that stand ready to support a free coinage bill if the opportunity should present itself. The majority of the party leaders are of the opinion that the silver law enacted at the last ses sion, has not been sufficiently tried to enable even those opposed to it to say that it has not, or ill not -accomplish its purpose. Tho silver men have not, howove, given up hopes of securing free coinage. -. r 'bomas County Teachers Association.
