We infer from remark in the last Republican
that that journal would be willing to compro-
mise between the Democrats andAmericans of the
House on Judge Bayly as Speaker-butit is to-
tally unwilling to see such a compromise on Ex-
Gov. Smith. In naming Judge Bayly in connec-
ton with Speaker we have designed referring only
to his position, as one which admitted of support
ly the Americans The state of his health, We
regret to say,precludes all possibility of his dis
charging the duties of that post. He is not there
fore to be thought Of. We cannot understand
why the Republican should,if willing to take Bay
ly. object 40 strenuously to Smith The
idea that he is member of tho American party
re suppose TO be altogether imaginary. and the
statement that "hs has not been voting for Rich
ardson" is erroneous. as the Republican may sat
isfy itself by examng the roll of votes And mas
much as 1.-THE Nebraska question is tho question
of the day and the impossibility of elec,ing Rich
