A caucus of the democratic members of
('engross who arc favorable to a revision
of the tarill was held Monday night.
After discussing the subject tit some
length, it was finally decided to call a full
democratic caucus to-morrow night to
agree upon future procedure. While they
regard the vote on the bill os finally de
feating any tariff legislation during this
session, they desire to more strongly om-
j plmsise the principles of the tariff re-
I limners.
tn examination of the vote on Mor
rison's tariff bill last week, shows that
the allirmutive was composed of Ifffi
democrats am! font republicans, and the
t e ruti vc 1 Hi! republicans and thirty-five
democrats. Including those who were
paired among those voting, the vote in
states stands as follows:

Tubrk is quite a lull i t politics just
now. The discussion of the relative
merits of the speeches made by the two
distinguished candidates seems lo have
snbs'ded and then- is a disposition to let
evcrylsaly do just ns they please in re
gard to voting at the primary. It is i
quite priiluilile that no money will lie j
spent in the election and the effect will j
be all will feel better for it the next day. |
Muscogee's four votes will not he likely
lo change the general result.
IT Millin' UK TIIK CASK.
There was a sad lack of political in
formation both in the Telegraph and
Constitution of yesterday, and our Cor
don and Itacon friends here must have
been at a loss to know who was ahead.
Whether it. was because these able
dailies had exhausted all their informa
tion, or whether they had grown tired of
the light and wanted a little breathing
spell—or whether it was the effects of
tho remarkably cool weather we do not
know, l’orhaps a little of all these cir
cumstances combined has produced what
to us was rather a relief than a disap
pointment. If these powerful journals
will not consider it impertinent we would
like to suggest to them the propriety
of going a little slower in this contest
from this time. The fact is, u good manv
people in Ceorgia are beginning lo ask
whether there are not some other
men in the state who might be compe
tent to till the gubernatorial chair, and
some arc even bold enough to sav that
we might not loose anyt hingif hoih thesc
candidates \\ere defeated. It should not
be forgotten that our friend Kevell, of
Greenville, has not withdrawn from the
race, ami it may lie that a people fatigued
with political discussions m:1 y t um t( ,
him for relief.
Nor uuwii to no ms m i i.
No ollieial acts of the president entitle
him to more honor than his vetoes of
private pension hilts. What congress
feared to Jo Mr. Cleveland h:t- done in a
plain businesslike inunner.Neither demo-*
erat nor repnbliean bad the courage to
refuse tile grant of a pension whether
the applicant was deserving or not, In-I
deed, from reading the veto messages it I
looks like congress makes it a point to \
grant pensions to all whoso applications |
are refused at the pension oliiee. Sonic- i
how tlie fact that the person fails to show |
himself or herself entitled under the I
law. seems to be a sufficient reason wliv
eoiigress should pass a special act cover
ing the ease. Wo charge the democrat!
party witli a failure to do its duty in thi
re-poet. Instead of standing bet wool
the people and the horde of pension j
claimants, they give way to the clamor I
and pass the bill rather than incur the '
displeasure of the grand army of the j
republic.
When the first of these bills were ve- j
toed we d'd hope that the house would
be more careful, hut it looks now a- j
though they intend to shirk the re
sponsibility and east it upon the presi
dent. l!ut he says that these lulls come !
in such numbers that k it is impracticable |
for him to examine them within the time
limited, ami so they become laws witli-
imt his approval.
Whatever else we may think of Mr. {
Cleveland in this he has shown that he
is not afraid to do his dutv even at the I
(if tlie 1.57 members w ho voted against
the bill tl-e-e were but thirty-five demo
crats, of whom eleven are from the west
and six from the south. The Georgia
delegation voted solidly for the bill,
while Alabama had only one deserter
front the democratic ranks. Mr. Ma tin
voted against consideration of the bill
and used as a flimsy excuse therefor that
ho deemed it practical to wait fora re
vision of tlie tariff “until a ways and
means committee can lie engaged which
will represent the conservative element
ofboth parties.” His constituency will
soon have the opnortunity of passing on
his act on, tie may have been actuated
hy his heiter judgment, but lie has not
been true to (lie ancient faith of the
south under which it grew and prosper
ed. There is more excuse for the Lonis-
ana congressmen of whom four is record
ed on the negciiie side. The bill
was especially objectionable to
the people of Louisiuia, for
among all ihe large duties levied by the
government that on sugar comes nearest
to a revenue tariff, and yet this was
singled out as the greatest reduction, so
that il is hardly a matter of surprise that
they wore found on the oilier side.
It is claimed by those democrats who
went off with the republicans in tlie de
feat of this bill, that it was decidedly de
fective. bul the democratic members of
congress who assisted tlie republicans in
defeating consideration of a democratic
measure cannot excuse themselves by
pleading that the bill is not acceptable
to them, for the vote was on
the question of consideration and
not nil tlie liill itself, if they had
voted wit their party for considera
tion they could have offered amendments
to the liill at the proper time. They had
been told by the leading friends of the
lull that concessions would be made, but
they chose deliberately to disregard the
suggestion. Meanwhile all honor to the
faithful and fearless representative who
stood hy the pledges of the democratic
national platform. The southern mem
bers of congress, with the exception of
those members mentioned, have made
a record for themselves which those who
have deserted the. standard of the party
may live to envy. They have the esteem
and gratitude of democrats and of every
friend of revenue reform.
We have no disposition to unjustly
criticise Mr. Kendal! and the course he
lias pursued from first to last on this i n-
tire tariff question. Nor do the score
audti half democrats whom lie led over
to the other side receive any censure
which is not justly deserved. lint the
course they have pursued devolves a
duty upon Mr. liar-dull and upon them
that they should not ignore. lie and
they must make some show of keeping
the pledge of the party made at Chicago.
The democratic party, as the foe oflarifi-
liolstered Hi"!!-ipniit'S, lias a right now to
demand that Mr. Kattdall shall show a
better way of fulfilling that pkdgo. Will
he doit.''
J equenee is a veto is put upon many such
bills.
but so fur as the veto concerning public
buildings are concerned, the reasons be
sets fort It do not hold good as viewed
from an economical standpoint. The
reasons presented by the president for
vetoing tlie bills providing for the erec
tion of public buildings was that no
federal officers were located at the points
designated except postmasters. The
saute thing might be said of the ixist office
building in this city, but it iH simply for
the reason that tho building is not such
as to accommodate other federal officers
The United States commissioner and tlie
deputy revenue collector might all hav
t heir offices in tho public building if
Columbus bud one with suitable uocoin
inodntioiis.
No bill has passed congress providing
fora public building here, and, from tlie
signs of tlie times, one is not likely to pass
during the present session, but the rea
sons which tho president gives seems t"
apply as wrll to Columbus as the cities
I directly intertsled. The government
does not pay less than fifteen pur cent.mi
the amount invested for the useof build
ings for these various olliec, and it is be
lieved that a public building economi
cally constructed would pay for itsell
within a few years time, as well as afford
better accommodations and be an orna
ment to the city. There is no need of
one hundred thousand dollars for this
purpose, nor the half of it, but the gov
ernment ought to have its own building
in such a city as Columbus.
Till! Philadelphia Record says that Congress
man S ott, of Pennsylvania, “issound on the
tariff and sound on the silver question, and he is,
besides, a very est .liable gentleman who cooti ib-
uted liberally to fie Cleveland campaign .uml;
but he is safest where he is. He cannot fill the
gap which Mr. Manning’s retirement would
make in the Cleve’nnd cabinet. There are very
few men in the country who carry tlie necessary
brains under their hats to master the difficult
problems of treasury management.”
Thu Phi’ade ihia T'mes says: “For the small
