THE BROAD AX.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
"Washington, Not. 25, 1895.
With fetr exceptions, Democrats
ve agreed that it is the duty of the
Democratic Senators to retain the
control of the Stnate until they are
forced to give it up. There mil he
no occasion to fill the vacancy in
the office of President pro tern of
the Senate so long as Vice-President
Stevenson is on hand every
day to preside over the Senate, and
lie can he counted upon to he
on hand unless prevented hy
serious illness. It is understood
that the Democratic steering com
mittee of the Senate will recom
mend following this line of policy;
also, that every measure which
comes before the Senate shall he
5ully debated by the Democrats, in
order that the position of the party
may be thoroughly understood by
'the country. The Republican sen
ators can, of course, obtain control
of the Senate at once with the as
sistance of the Populists, and with
out their aid if Dupontis seated
from Delaware when the Utah
senators take their seats, which will
probably be early in the coming
year, if they can agree among
themselves, but up to this time
they are a long ways from agreeing,
and by harmonious and skillful
tactics the Democrats may remain
in control during the entire session.
As the 'annual reports of the
"heads of the various branches of the
government service are made, it is
asy to see that Democratic ideas
of economy in public expenditures
nave been put into effect wherever
possible. The grand aggregate of
all the saving effected maybefound
in the lootings of the ordinary ex
penditure column of the United
States Treasurer's annual report.
Those footings show that for the
fiscal vear. endintr June 30. last, the
0 .
government spent for ordinary '
purposes $11,329,981 less than was
spent during the previous year.
Fevr people in Washington take
any stock in the story that comes
from New York, to the effect that
Mr. Harrison has made a combina
tion, which is to place Ex-Senator
Warner Miller on the tail of the
Harrison ticket. Washington peo
ple know Mr. Harrison for one of
the shrewdest politicians the conn
try has ever had, notwithstanding
the impression of some people that
he is too dignified to get down to
the level from which political wires
have to be pulled, and knowing
they cannot believe that he has
made any deal with such a has been
as Miller. If he could get Gover
nor Morton to enter a combination
for the nomination of the
old-'88-ucket, he'd jump at
it; but Morton has not love enough
forMr. Harrison to do so, even if he
desired again to become a candidate
for Vice President, he remembers
'92. Failing to make a deal with
Mr. Morton, Mr. Harrison has
made one with Senator Allison, it
is said, for the express purpose of
upjiuaiug uuiu xieea ana raanaiuey.
Incidentally, they have agreed,
that if at any time during the Con
tention their combined strength
-will nominate either, it shall be
;given to the one controlling the
largest number of votes. Harrison,
next to getting the nomination
for him&elf, wants to keep both
Reed and McEinley out of it.
Some people have queer ideas of
what is good taste. For instance,
Hon. John M. Thurston, of
Nebraska, who was for years in the
-employ of one of the Pacific Rail
roads only resigned within the
last tea days, although his salary as
'Senator began March 4, last and
who is said to owe his election to
the U. S. Senate to the influence
-of that corporation, proposes to in
augurate his senatorial career by
introducing a bill providing for a
settlement of the debts due the
government from the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads. He says
that while his bill differs in details
from the settlement recommended
by the gaverment directors of those
roads its results will be the same.
This may be true but when his past
relations with these corporations
are remembered suspicion will na
turally arise that he is merely con
tinuing to do their bidding by
introducing this bill.
Senator Hill has started much
gossip by renting a large house in
Washington and reports as to his
intentions covar every imaginable
thing from gatting married to
opening, a political club house for
the starting of a new boom for the
presidential nomination. It is prob
able that his personal convenience
was his only reason for setting up
housekeeping.
