Some interesting light upon the probable
policy of thu democrats at the next session
of congress was given to Tuc BKK corro-
sponaont today by HoprosontatlvoOuthwaito
of Ohio. Mr. Oulhwnlto Is chairman of the
house commlucu on military affairs and is
ono of the host informed and sagacious of the
democratic leaders in congress. It will bo
Been that nls expectations are somewhat in
line with tboso uttorol by Senator Quay.
Said Mr. Oulhwatto : "It is useless to an-
ticlpato any interference with our banking
laws at this tlmo. 1'ho democrats do not ex
pect ami they could not If they so desired to
make- any change in our present system of
making all Issues of money como directly
from the Icdcral government. The 10 par
oeat tax on stuto bank Issues will not be
repealed. It id not my way , nor that of
the domocratlc party , to kill a thing by
taxing it out of existence , but now that the
atate bank Issues are dona for by an Inhibi
tory tax , they will not bo relieved. There
will not bo an extra session of congress. Mr ,
Cleveland is opposed to such a thing , nnd
said 10 eight year * ago. Everybody knows
that the party responsible for an extra ses
sion of congress In times of peace always
suffers dofeatat the next oloctiou. Another
thing , it is abJurd to suppose that tha demo-
orata In congress intend to roll up their
ileivcs and jump at their work of destroying
American industries. The present tariff law
will bo materially modified , but tburo will bo
only a slight reduction of duties upon arti
cles which are successfulv ! manufactured
in our country. We will clvo tbo inauulac-
tur rs free raw materials and will put tin
plate upon tbo frco list uccausu it Is not an
oHtablisbcd Industry and cannot bo made so
In this country. The established industries
will not bo destroyed by oeing thrown into
full competition with those of England , nor
will they bo materially affected oy a heavy
reduction of duties upon their manufactures.
Wo will first glva them free raw materials i.j
to work with uod then wo will consider re
ill ductions of tariffs upon the manufactured
articles. "

( JnlVlovv of tlio iicrtlon. :
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania , ox-cbalr-
man of the ivpuollcan national committee ,
has declined to expro s any rommont upon
the r DI ult ot tbo ptoildoiuial olootlou beyond
the single laconic remark , "Wo did not liavo
votes enough. " Today , however , Tnu Bee
correspondent succeeded In persuading Mr.
Quay to say n little more. Tbo tCQttor was
found siUinc In his library dictating replies
to several hundred telegrams of congratula
tions which Uo bad received from friends in
Pennsylvania over the republican majority
on joint ballot of eighty-two in the Itvlsla-
lure , which ensures bis return to tbe United
Stataj senate.
When iisued to explain tbo causes of ro-
puollcan defeat m tbo battto for I no presi
dency tha senuto turned to a sunny window ,
where a parrot was gwlnplug m a rage. Tbo
senator cockeu ono eye nl the parrot , and the
bird In resuonso Dllnked both ryes and tang
very distinctly , "Ob dear ; what vau tbo mat.
ter boJ"
Mr. Quay crow very serious and thoughtful -
ful when ho was asked for nli oninlou as Itto
the future policy of tbo republican party.
' I bcllove , " Uo uld " r.in
, "that tbo republican
party should uotyiela ono inch In its tncor-
IM M to the bonctlts of a protective tariff.
I believe , too , tbnt the bill I passed at the
last session of tbo bouic placing wool on the
frco list and reducing the duties ou woolen
manufactures und removing the duties from
tin plato , binding twine , cotton ties and co'-
ton bauglng aud from machinery used In tbo
manufacture of cotton baggin. ? , all of which
are now in the .senate 11 nancy committee ,
should bo retained in that committee and not
reported. In fact , I believe tnat they will
not bo reported.
INtlmato of Cleveland.
"If the business interests in the country
arc anxious to Unow what scheme of legisla
tion awaits thorn It Is the duty of the demo
cratic house as soon as U meets in December
to frame a general tariff bill Indicating in a
broaa and dodntto form just what the reve
nue policy of the next administration is
to bo.
"Do you think , senator , that Mr. Cleveland
will call an extra session of congress next
March" '
"No , I do not. Ono reason for Mr. Cleve
land's election is that ho is estimated as a
conservative mau. Ho is not HUely to bo
dragged bv tbo moro radical and revolu
tionary elements of his party into frighten
ing nt tbo very outset the people who have
believed in bis conservatism. It may per
haps bo too soon to speak so positively , but
I really cannot bnllevo that there will be any
extra session of congress beyond the usual
executive session of tbo senate 10 coullrm
tbo most important appointments. "
"Sneaking in tbo most general terms , what
do you think of the future of the repubiicau
party ? "
"You may say that I considornothing niaro
orobablo than that four years bcnco there
will bo an oxoct reversal of the popular ver
dict of IS'Ji ' and that , as in IsSS , Mr. liarrl-
son will Micceod Mr. Cleveland In the presl-
donpv. Tno people had four years of CloveI I
laud once , nnd they had enough. As I hnvo
said before , Mr. Cleveland's renomluatlon
wbllo bo Htill held tbo presidential ofllce
made it easier for tbo republican party to
succeed. Four vears hence , after wages
bavo boon reduced , and after the enormous
cost of labor strikes Das been charged to the
parlv in power , it may bo that the people
will demand tborcuomlnallonaud ro-olcctioii
of General Harrison. "

Wbat purported to bo an Indirect expres
sion of the views of tbo prondont of the
management of tbo campaign aud its results ,
given through an anonymoui "friend,1' ap
peared In a Now York democratic paper this
morning. H may be said positively ttiat this
Indirect interview was wholly unauthorized ,
und wax filled with errors and inaccuracies.
Tbo president has uttered no criticism ot
Mr , Carter or Mr. McConit.j , or Mr. Mauley
or General Clarkson.
H U emphutlcally untrue -
true that the president has attributed in any
degrcti his defeat to tbo influence of any of
the republican loaders , including Mr. Platt ,
Mr. Quay and Mr. Cameron , who were op
posedto his rcnominatlon at Minneapolis.
AH a matter of fact , tbo president became
thoroughly satlsllcd earlv In tbo campaign
that all of the republican leaders , whatever
their attitude before tbo Minneapolis con
vention may bavo oocn , were loyal and sin
cere iu their supporlof the party and Its can

LINCOLN , Nob. . Nov. 12. [ Special to Ton
USE. | The cases against the men arrested
for Illegal voting In this county commenced
this forenoon and several of them bare at-
ready been disposed of. O. E. Henderson
and W. S. Fletcher were arralgr.cd before

morning. Ihoy had boon arrested by Deputy
Marshal McCandlcss last Tuesday ovoulng
and both voted In Yankee Hill precinct.
Deputy United States Attorney Bnldridgo of
Omaha aud Attorney Wilson of this city op-
peared for the prosecution , whllo H. J. Cos-
grovu , also of tnis city , appeared for the do-
fense. The examination of the prisoners was
very brief. Both proved that they had bean
residents of tbo state for moro than six
months and of tbo county for moro thiin forty
days. Both are unmarried and both toatl-
llud that they looked upon the county of Lan
caster as tholr permanent residence. The
prosecution failed to produce any direct ovl
donco ngainst them aud therefore recom
mended their discharge.
L. R Hicks , chairman of tbo Lincoln
Board of I'ubllc Works , was the next to fnco
the commissioner. Ito was charged with
having cast a ballot in preoluot C of the
Fourth wart of this city , when his homo Is
in Grand View , outside of the city limits.
Ho teatllled that hli home is still In tbo
Fourth ward and that ho bad placed his wife
at Urand View iom [ > orarliy In tbo bones that
her health might be bonotltcd. Ho still
maintains bis residence at 11'7 L strcot.
The examination was adjourned until next
Wednesday. The general impression is that
the case against Mr. Hcks ( will bo dropped.
The cases ugatnst Leo Foster nnd Uichnrd
Wilson , who ivero arrested yesterday , will
never como before lha commissioner , as It
was discovered that tjio evidence against
them had been furnishda by irresponsible
parties who admitted that they were mis-

charged. James Sharpcnstcen , another mnii
charged with illegally exercising the right
