WASHINGTON, May 15.-Those friends
of Speaker Blaine who have him in train
ing for the Presidency in 1875, say that In
case he is reelected by the Forty third Con-
gress SIS Speaker, he will throw overheard
all those chairmen of committees VINO have
been in any way connected with the Credit
Mobilier transactions. Blaine is q candi-
date for reelection, and he claims the sup
port of at least two-thirds of the mem
bers Of the Forty .seconu Congress who have
been reelected. The balance, being mostly
Southern carpet-baggers and Pennsylvania
Protectionists, are claimed by Maynard, of
Tennessee. Letters are already being sent
by both these competitors to newly elected
Congressman, soliciting their votes for these
representative candidates to the third posi-
ton in the Government. Blaine's friends
make the point in bis favor, first, that he is
not committed to any economic policy OF leg
islation 50 far as revenue is concerned; and,
second, that he opposed the salary increase
SO far as it related to himself. Maynard
commits himself boldly to the protective
policy, and urges that Blaine's name has
been mentioned with suspicious transac-
tions in such q way as to make his re-elec-
ton as Speaker questionable in point of
party policy, 10 say nothing else.
MAYNARD has nothing TO say either in
condemnation of the salary grab. or in COM
ment on the participants in the Credit Mo
bilier. His friends give it to be understood
that in case of his election no signal changes
would be made in the chairmanships of the
important House committees, save perhaps
to strengthen the Ways and Means Com
mittee in the direction Of protection.
Blaine, throu b his friends, on the con-
trary, is pledged to policy which will de-
stroy all those who figured in the Credit
Mobilier transactions, or who were promi-
nent and influential in bringing about the
salary grab increase. Under this policy,
Garfield, as Chairman of Appropriations;
Dawes, as head of the Ways and Means,
and Scofield, as Representative of the Naval
Committees, would all have to be sacri-
feed. Bingham, as Chairman of the Judic-
isry, not being reelected, is no
longer in the field. This position is
being temporarily sought after by Ben.
Butler. Altogether, the complexion of the
next House, SO far as its leaders are con-
cerned, is very complicated, and the fight
for the Speakership promises to be extreme
ly severe, although everybody comedies that
Blaine will be eventually successful
The ultimate selection Of chairmen,
which virtually decides the leadership of the
next House, promises to be one of the most
exciting in personal way that has been
witnessed in this direction for some time.
