Show POLITICAL BRIEFS. General Van Allen left New Y'ork on Monday on receiviug a telegram from Hayes and left word that he was going to Washington on business for the state. It is generally admitted that the democrats will adhere to the resolutions resolu-tions already adopted in the caucus to accept the tribunal's work, and oppose op-pose filibustering. It is now thought lhat if the attempts at-tempts at dilatory movements are continued in the houte a considerable number of democrats will vote them down with the aid of the republicans. An extra session of congress is thought to be inovitablo. An important impor-tant part of the policy ol the new administration will be to make appropriations appro-priations lor improvements in the south. The World Washington tpecial says: The election ot Hayes is generally gen-erally conceded, nobody expecting anything from tho Oregon case, and many democrats being disgusted with that case as it now stands. Hamilton of Texas, Gibson of Louisiana, Brown of Tennessee and Wade Hampton aro mentioned in connection w'nh Hayes' cabinet. Among tho republicans named are Harris ot Indiana, Piatt of New Y'ork, Alcorn and Little of North Carolina. It is reported that tho new president's presi-dent's distinctive aim politically will be to re-establish harmony in the party in the north, aud to draw to him a following of influential men in tho;o southern stales where in old times the whigs were etrongfBt. These are Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas and perhaps Texas. Representative Hurd hacked out of tho Oregon case in which he was one of the democratic objectors, and Jenks, who is to take his place, needed time to prepare himself; but a more important reason than these for the receea of Monday was that many of the democrats, principally western and northwestern men were very eore and inclined to stubbornly 1 devise ways to delay the count. |
