Parties are so evenly balanced in the next
House of Representatives., and political at
fairs are now in such a transitOry state, that
il is extremely difficult to make any pre-
dictions as to who will be the next Speaker.
The Democratic candidates all appear hope
tul, and from their own accounts they all
have votes enough pledged to secure their
nominations Somebody, Of course, is badly
deceived.
The Southern Democrats will have q con-
trolling power in the party caucus, and
although some of them may not go into it,
those who do can readily dictate the nomi-
nations. There are those who think that
neither side will be able to draw strict
party lines in organizing the House, but it
Is too early yet To determine whether the
old parties will be materially disintegrated
by the time Congress meets in October.
There are very good reasons for believing
that combinations may possibly be made
for electing u moderate Republican like
Gen, FOSTER, of Ohio to the Spcakership
As matters now look, il is not likely that
Gen. GARFIELD's name will be presented
for that position, rs it is understood that he
could not command sufficient Southern

SENATOR PATTERSON Of South Carolina. in

he thought CHAMBERLAISs speech very iniu-

they ought to be friendly with the Adminstra-
ton instead of antagoniStic. Mr.. PATTERSON Is
certain that the Republicans had an honest
