Show Tuc I'resa DlNpatctiera' Vlewa. Washington, 5. Tho bill rcpealinii the resumption clause was carried ui the committee by ttie defection of Fuyne nf Uhio, who carried a strong republican district, especially on ths hard money platform. Tno poison ol Jijfiaiiou oi lends gradually amoDg the bullae democrats. Only about a ilezen can be relied on to resist the tide in favor of repudiating the ro-humpliou ro-humpliou pledge. Those who asked i-i'ilden his views on the propped repeal, m-mring him they would follow his advice faithfully, received no reply. A single word from the democratic cauJiuaie fur tho presidency presi-dency would have been sufficient to prevent the vute which took place in the committee on banking, but it never came. This indisputable fact will help to an understanding of Tilden's Til-den's real pusition. |
