THE INDEPENDENT FACTION. special Inapateh to The Chicago Fribune, Bpninasteiy, Jan. 4.—And now the Independ- ents, plied with arguments on either side, are a prey to conflicting emotions. ‘Going over to the Democrats, sre you?” comes from tho one, “And that, too, in the face cf your solemn dec- larations before clection, that you were not and would not be a Democrat.” “ Elected in opposition to the Republican par- ty. and because yon did oppose it, you can’t go back on your constituents now, can you?" comes from the other. And the Independents, who would undertako to swallow up the Democracy Yery much a3 an inexperionced young frog might attempt to awallow a turtlo with a hard shell 2 {cet in diameter, wait for the Democrats to get Feady to bo swallowed. Meanahile, figuratively speaking, the Independents, standing with mouths wide open to take in tho bard-sholls, tremble lest they themselves be gobbled, IF THE DEMOCRATS WOULD #LAY SE FIDDLE. If, the Deraocrats would surrender tha: su- premacy iu the coslition which their numwbere would give thea; would ask nothiag for Dem- ocrata; would sesign the leadership to the In- depondents, and, generally, woud take back seats and keep them, tho Independents would cheerfully appropriate the honors aud profits, and take them in, provided they gave approved security for fulfillment of tho bargain, But nobody has such mortal dread of being caught in Democratic company as have those Independ- ente, like Kershaw, who aro not Democzats in fact, Tho most super‘oyal during tho War wore not half so foarful of being identified with the “‘Copperhoads." The conundrum which they ponder 1a, What will the name by which the pro- posed coalition is christened avail when tho loaderelup ix assured by tho VETERAN DEMOCRATIC WAR-IORSES ? To tho Independents of the House it is urged that Cullom is of tho Springfield riug,—not participant in any of the thievery imphed by the term “ring,” but that, in roturn for the support of tho ring, he is pledged to 80 organize the com- mitteos ag will prevont the exposure of alleged jobs cannested with the naw State-House, and toZsecure the appropriation of at least another willion for the prosecution of the work, wituout any investigation as to tha dixporition of what has already been expended. ‘non it is further urged that he is identified with the National Bank ring, whatever that may be. Perhars it snould be stated no? that these things aro urged agamat him. bat tbat ivtimations of this sort are vaguely given out in that mystorious ‘*¥00 UNDERSTAND” style, which implies a vast doal more than is asid ; aud which, too, it is well niga | pOB- sible to repel agit would bo to dnvo back the north wind, ‘’o the Cook County Opposition (who, however, need no argument to lead thom to vote againat any possible Republican candi- date) it 18 put in much tho aamo fashion that, if elected, Callom's orgatization of the committees will bo guch a8 to maintain the system of oyual- ization by which the Cook County assessment is nearly doubdiod for tho purpose of indirevtly ac- complishing what was the “taxegrab Inw"—to put of taxation on Cook County of which the rail- rosd bond countios ao soaght to bo relieved. What offect all this haa, remains to be seen. Cullom and his frieuda, in neithar of whose hear- ing doos aught of this eeem evor to bo said, SIMPLY LAUGH AT IT ALL, leaving bis record to auswer for him. Tt is gen- erally understood that of the Demyeratis men bers there aro severa!, amoug whom ig namol Armstrong, one of their candidates for the Speakerstup, who, inthe event of an Opposi+ tion ccalition, will yote for Cullom. ‘Tno result, howorver, dapends upon the consummation or failuro of that attempted coalition, In tho for- mer case tho prevailing opinion is that E. M. Haines. of Lake, will bo chosoo Speaker by a de~ cided majority, whou, it is predicted, the Oppo: Hon woah Adopt a policy of rigid rotreach- ment, 3 ‘MM. IAINES, who, in behalf of the Independents, is most prominent in tho movement for tas proposed fusion of the Domocrats aud Independe nte, proceeds with extremo cantion, aud with tho evi- dent design that the undorstauding shall be ox- plicit that che new party must not be the Domo- eratic party in now guise. Procisely how he ex- pects to accomplish thia ho doos not divulge, and among the Independents of Republican anu- tecodonts thero has been tall of maintaining a dead-lock until (as occurred in the Obto Legis. lature, whon threo Abolitioulsts secured the eloc- tion of Mr. Chaso to tho Senste) the Democrats come over tothom. Whother tho latter would in any event do so is wholly conjectural, but 1 Ia NOT’ PROBABLE that Armstrong, Cummings, Horrington, and Dr. Rogers, the Democratic aspirauts for the Speakership, could readily be put asido and their supporters be broaght to consent to wuch a pro- gramme. The situation ts farther complicated by tho difiiculty in determining which of those classed sa Indepondeuta are Democrats or Hte- publicana, and already among them are thove who styio themselves Independent Iepublicans and Inderendeat Democrats, indicazing @ Big- niticant diaposition not to get eo far from the rogular orgavizations as to bo in peril of being barred out, This explaina tho summoning hero of the Indcpondent C.ugreaumon elect and of Heaing to the cauous held to-night. Unleas a dis- tictivo Opposition party can bo formed, and tho Democracy got rid of aa an clomeutin Bato politics, the leaders ovidently recognize that the daya of the embryo Independent party will ba uumbersd before the fiat fortuight of the sea- sion has paseed. AN INFORMAL cavcus of the Republican membore of tho House was held to-day, at which tho vote of that body was analyzed. follows: Republicans, 69; Demo- erate,61; Indepenuout Democrats, 6; Independeut Republicana, 16,—thowo claesed in tho latterbeing: Ashton, Benson, Coilios, Christic, Healing, Hall, Haines, Johnson, ScUraw, Parker, Poaue, Satler, Staaasou, Stoegal, Turner, aud Vaute, It was reaolvod to tako action to elect @ coali- tion with as many of tueso a8 posaible in support: of Cullom for tuo Speskerabip, and, accordiugly, specia! committees wero appointed to confer with each upon thas aubject. ‘this done, the Republicans adjouraed to mect in regular caucus to-morrow (Tuesday) night. ‘THR DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL, The Democcate, to the number of about twenty of the Representatives aud ton Souators, includ- ing every Democratic member in the city, met to-night in caucus for consultation, Ex-Gov, Palmer, ex-Gov, Koerner, A.

Soena- tor Burke, of Macoupin, was called to the chair, aod the ball was opened by Keproseutative Arm- wtrong, of LaSalle, in a epeech in which he stated that, withoat a coalition with tho Independents, the cauo of the Democracy ia both Houses was hopeloss, He Lelieved tha ludepend- euta were ready to consolidate with them 10 oppovition to the epublicaus, asthe Oppogiion party. They were agreod as to the main point—cvonomy in the Admipintra- Honeud by lotinated that the redu's would be tho organization of the Opposition throughont tho country in season forthe Presidential can- vaceof 1876. Rperches of aimilar import woro made by Gen. McClernard, ex-Goy, #atmor, A, C. Homing, and ex-(iov. Koorner. PACH OF THESE WENT FURTHER than hia proleceasor in stating the neceaaity of an unuication of the elements opposed to tho Iepublican party in anew organization. Hosiog's speech, which waa quite pointed in this regard, svas well recolvyod, ax were those of tho others. The result of tho mecting was tho appoimtment of Senators Bhu:t and Aritzen, and Representa- tives Armstrong, Moore, and Cumminge, as a Committea of Conference with the Independents, with p viow to calling A JOINT CAvCOA to-morrow evening for the nomination of officers: of the Senate and House. [p lua speech in support of tho motion, Armatrong. of Lexalle, who has been one of the moxt prominent Democratic candidates for the Speakeraup, said that he wae willing to leave tho bemiuations wholly} to tho Independente, and would cheerfully and heartily support the candi- dates thoy should name, his confidence Ia then Leing complete. This sentiment was heartily appleuaods and woa that which prevallod without ienent. ‘TNE INDEPENDENTS also met to-night im separate caucus, about twenty-five members being present, bovides Congreesmen-elect Catnpbell. Stevenson, and Bagby, and other smaller lphts. E. M. Ilsines was calied to the chair, and, in a rather guarded speech, stated that the object of tho mecing was to confer as to the policy to be pursued by the Independ- enta. 60 a8 to prenervo uncompromised their position a¥ Indopendents while uniting the other Opposition elementa against the common enemy, the Republicans, The upeech was somowhat in the naturo of a fecler. While suggesting the desiratility aud practicability of s coalition which should secure to the Independents the organiza- tion of both Houses, it also pointed to the organization of s pew party according to the programme of tho Democratic caucus. Spoeches more pronounced in fayor of that pro- srammo were mado by Congressman-olect Steven-on, Pagby, and Campboll, who al- vocated tho" coalition on tho basis sugges'od by Haines. Pending tha caucus, tho Commitee of Five from the Lemoeratie caucus wore alautted and sanurated the apnointment of a like Committeo of Independents for confer- eneo an to the proposed coalition. ‘Lho Independeuts appointed Senators Brown and Harrold, and Jepublican, Landrigan, Her- ron, end Jack, to wait upon the Democratic Committee and receive their propo- tioa. ‘Tbe Iudependenta then adjourned with- out further action to meet st 10 o'clock in the forenoon, when the remaining eight Independ- outs witl arrive.
