PRECEDING AN ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The hotels to-
night present somewhat the appearance
they do preceding the day of an election
OF speaker of the house. Now. TO the
shame OF the house be 1t said, the cand.
dates at work are the candidates for the
tribunal positions, which by no means
should be secured through common
usages at state and county conventions.
There are at least dozen tickets in the
field to be acted upon by the Demo-
cratic caucus tomorrow night. The
principal candidates named, including
those who are unblushingly naming
themselves, are Hunter, Payne, Morri-
son, Tucker, Field, Springer, Hewitt,
Knott, Lamar, Lynde, Wood and even
Speaker Randall.
ADDED TO THESE
Are sveral Of the small fry, whe are al
ways candidates but never stand any
chance of election. Probably the most
generally known ticket is composed Of
either Tucker or Hunter for the first
man, Morrison and Payne. Neither of
these gentlemen are STOPPING to the ma.
nipulations of the average caucus candi-
date, and from::that fact gain the strength
and prominence they hold. Tonight d.
d. Field is also spoken of with great ia.
vor. Morrison probably is at the head
Of all because of his ability and because
Of his thorough acquaintance with the
facts in Louisiana.

seen that if they did the Republicans in

the Democrats of that body, and they
can ill-afiord to lose either Thurman or
Bayard. The Republican senators were

BECAUSE THE BITTER ANIMosITY
Which sprung up among the brethren in
the late debate had not yet been enough
abated to permit OF harmonious work in
the caucus. The extreme Radicals are
very mad at Conkling, and will fight him
to the last inch. They will agree to Howe
ia his place, providing Edmunds and
Morton are the other two. This will
probably be the selection. Now that the
bill has passed, Morton. Sherman and
Dsrheid are anxious to perform some act
under It's operation. They understand
that after the malignant fight they have
made, should Hayes be agreed upon
through the decisions of the tribunal.
they Will have no claim upon his admin
istration. This certainly is result that
would add to the satisfaction that wou,d
be felt should Hayes be decided upon by
the tribunal.
TELEGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.
Republicans are chuckling a good deal
to-hight over some dispatches delivered
up 70 Morton's committee which were
sent TO and from Oregon. One is in
cipher to Gov. Illden, and Tomorrow
