state.
"She will send n delegation entirely
uuinstructed , except that it shall support
the best muii the man who can win. "
' 'And what will his name be , do you
think , General ? "
4'That's pretty hard to answer" ho said.
"I think that the man who is shown in
the convention to bo able to carry Now
York and Ohio will bo satisfactory to
Indiana. Of couso , if wo could have the
name of Harrison or some other Indiana
man on the ticket it would add to its
strength. "
"Can the republicans carry Indiana ? "
"Yes , " ho replied , "I think so. If I
had the naming of the ticket I am sure
I could name ono that would carry In
diana and a majority of electoral col
lege. "
"Would you mind naming the ticket
now , General ? "
"Well , " honaid , " ! think a ticket with
the name of William Tecumseh Sherman
on one end and Robert T. Lincoln on the
other would bo an entirely safe one. "

pose of having the suits brought I
I thought at ono time 1 had an oppor
tunity to got a civil suit against Dorsey.
I made personal application , and asked
Browster to let me take the papers. I
found between ono and two hundred
thousand dollars that I thought the gov

civil suit against Dorsoy failed on ac
count of the sudden death of Ooaler. "

Special DUpatch to TUB BEK.
CHICAGO , April 3. Congressman W.
II. Morrison , chairman of the ways nnd
means committee , nnd author of the
"horizontal" tariff bill , having hid oul
Springer , is after Mayor Harrison's scalp ,
ami proposes that ho shall neither revoivt
the nomination of the democratic part )
for vice-president nor for governor ol
Illinois.
The rupture began when the democrat
lo delegation from Chicago went to Wash
ington to secure the national convention
nnd Uarnsou made a speech saying Illi
nois Imd no candidate for the presidency
Thia Morrison took na n direct slap nt
him , nnd ho has boon "laying for" Harrison
risen over since , Ho hnn formed nil alli
ance with ono of the loading inon in
Snrinsor's district to rrnko n fight on
Harrison , nnd ovoiy available means will
bo used to kill him oil"
A strong point to bo mndo against Harrison
risen is that ho is not a proper man to
load the democrats of Illinois or servo as
TICO president , because ho is not in harm
ony with Ills party on the tariff question.
This will bo shown from his speech at the
banquet of the Iroquois club in this city
last fall. There's a lively time in pros
pect.
FOUTY-EIGHTIt CONGHKSB.

WASHINGTON , April 3. Petitions nnd
memorials were introduced and referred :
Mr. Wilson ( rep , Iowa ) a joint resolu
tion of the general assembly of Iowa , urg
ing that in viuw of the rapid absorption
of public lands fit for settlement , congress
may take immediate stops to recover the
unearned portions of lands granted rail
roads.
Mr. Hoar ( rep , Mass. ) , a petition of
3,000 citizens and soldiers of the \roaturn
states connected withtho National h-ague ,
urging for a pension of at least $3 per
month , the money to bogivoneach honor
ably discharged soldier- and sailor of the
a to war.
A bill was reported favorably nnd
placed on the calendar , to authorize the
: omtruction of n bridgoovor the Missouri

A resolution was agreed to instructing
the committee on library to inquire into
the expediency of purchasing from the
Lewis family for the United States a
sword vrornby Washington atthooccaaion
of resigning his commission to congress ,
The seuato thou took up the education
bill.
bill.J
J > ir. Pendloton ( dom. , O. ) opposed its
passage at considerable length on consti
tutional grounds.
Mr. Beck ( dcin. , Ky. ) said the proper
way to roach the object sought , nasto
reduce government taxation. Ono pur
pose of the bill was to permit republicans
ind prevent democrats from reducing
taxation by pointing to the necessarily
arso expenditures. Ho thought the now
affection of the republicans for the south
ern people wan dangerous. This bill was
; ho entering wedge to the absolute fed-
urnl domination of the south.
Beck then entered upon the tariff , and
said ho was glad the Morrison bill had
forced both parties t > declare on the is
sue the republicans for protection , and
the democrats for a tariff for revenue
only. If congress would only enable the
south to buy cotton machinery free of
tariff the southern status could educate
their own children. Ho would favor Dot
ting apart , say , 2 per cent of all incomes
over 850,000. Vanderbilt would piy
$240,000 on that basis. Ho never triut-
od a man twice. The republicans had
control of the south once , and its ad
vancement did not begin till * ho demo
crats socurfd control.
Mr. Williams ( dom. , Ky. ) favored the
sill , and argued chat it was entirely con
stitutional.
Messrs. Hoar ( rep. , Mass. ) and Harri
son ( rep. , Ind ) submitted amendments
which they propose to offer nt the proper
