tdem) III; Dusr twhig) 26; Winthrop txhpJl9
Stanley (Whie) ls. The other votes, not stated,
were probably scattering, as the wings were without
any nominated candidate.
This yote'fof Brown, il correctly reported, is the
iargestyet cast for any candidate Since, as we
ieatn by Telegraph Bfown was dropped. and ali
parties have been voting without eoncsftor regular
nomination.

that :" the administration. parry is cohfessedly IN
minority in the House as web in the Senate -

1 cratic party proper can elect dts candidate; bat
that some twenty members, who are 81 more South.
ern than the South - ,or g more Northern than the
Morrill, have determined on such course that
there neyeroan be any election Of Speaker during
the entire term of the 3lst Congress- unless the pos
members who have adhered 10 their party nomi.,
