The REvENrs RBFoRMERs.--W ashsnaton.
March Awhile the proposed coalition of
1.-THE Democrats and revenue reformers for
an organization of the next House wnslong
since abandoned, the parties of the second
part have kept q steady watch on the or
ganization within the Republican party to
the extent OF agreeing to vote for the re.
election Of Speaker Blaine, provided that
he would promise not to constitute the
tariff interest. Although no promise was
made By the Speaker, there, neverthe-
less, seemed to be a general under
standing that he would give the
chairmanship to a western republican
Garfield, Of Ohio, for instance. Within a
few days, however, the story has got out
that he intends to appoint Dawes, Of Mas
sachusetts. This has produced such con-
sternation in the revenue reform ranks that
some of its principal leaders have arrived
here to change the reported programme.
The editors Of the Chicago Tribune, New
York Post, and Springfield Republican, and
other lesser lights, have been busy at the
Capitol all day In talking with members.
Thus far they have not been able to obtain
any pledge from the Speaker, but the Re.
publican caucus tonight seemed satisfied
with the situation. In fact, the Pennsylva-
mans expect that Kelley will be made
chairman; the New England members
think Dawes viii! get it., but say that he
don't want it; while the western Republic
cans seem confident that one OF their num-
Der will be chosen. - i.'N.,$o 10
The friends OF protection in the House
learned yesterday Of movement which
MIR. Reeves, of New York, intended to in
augurate to-day by Introducing a resolu-
ton for the repeal Of the duty on salt. In
order to head this Off they proposed in the
Ways and Means Committee to. day bill
reducing the duty on salt 33A per cent,
reducing the duty on pig iron from seven
to five dollars ton, and fixing the duty on
lumber nj ten per cent. dd palorem, which
was agreed to, and Dir. Mccarthy, of New
York, the champion Of the salt duty, was
instructed to report the bill. The friends
OF total repeal agreed to this compromise,
| but somehow or other the bill was not re-
ported to-day as was expected, but will
probably be submitted tomorrow. It is
too late, though, ~ be acted on by the Sem
ate.
