WASHINGTON, Oct. Al hear reliably that Col
forney has consented to be supported for Clerk of
the House of Representatives by anti-Lecompton
Democrats from the middle States, upon the un-
Outstanding that they will vote with the Repub-
licans for Speaker, the latter of course to support
Mr. Forney. In making this arrangement, he says
1t Is not to be understood that he NAV not support
| the Charleston nominee. He does not expect aid
| as candidate for Clerk from Judge Douglas, as
that genuemsns counsel here has been to dispose
of all party difficulties within the party. and that
he shouid support the Democratic nominee, even

pies OF the Cincinnati platform were not departed
| from.
