March session Of the Forty -nrst Congress,
tie Republican candidates for the SpeakershIp
are forming their combinations. The appli.
caat, IN order OF their strength, are Blaine, OF
Manei Dawes, Of Massachusetts,: Garfield, of
onis Cullum, Of Illinois; Kelly, Of Pennsyl.
vans; and Banks, OF Massachusetts OF this
list, Blaine and Dawes are the only two who
appear to have anything like a chance, and Mr..
Blaine. ny all probabilities, has the inside track.
Mr.. Mcpherson will have no opponent for the
Clerkship among his party, and il is probable
the Democrats will vote for him also. There
may b. several candidates for the ONCE OF
Doorkeeper, but the reelection of Mr. Otis s.
Buxton, long Assistant Doorkseper, and Just
chosen &c the full place upon the resignation Of
LppincOtt is not doubtful.
