but the sentiment toward cooperation, as under
stood from informal conferences, is somewhat em-
barrassed. They are willing TO take Northern
Speaker, but claim the privilege of selection being
ready to make similar concession as to Clerk
They will meet tomorrow and exchange views.
As some North Western and Eastern lends object
to the general conference suggested by the Penn
syyania delegation, call will probably not be
issued and no caucus of any kind be held. The
plan now is to go into the House and vote directly
for officers, with the expectation OF the ultimate
adoption of the plurality rule, unless present ind-
cations be changed. Leading Democrats have pro-
posed TO Southern Americans to sustain any candi-
date for Speaker they may indicate as a bass of
fusion; but the proposition has not been accepted,
and will not be entertained by several. The Ohio
and Pennsylvania delegations are now in session.
The Pennsylvania delegation has adjourned. 1t
has concluded to suspend issuing call for gen'Ts@
conference of the Opposition until after another
consultation at IL o'clock tomorrow, when it is
hoped that positive information VIII determine It's
policy cODcusiyely.
