votes from Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and several New England States, as
well as several from the South. Keifer's
friends believe that he has more positive sup
port than any other candidate. There is q
nromise of an abundance of candidates for
the subordinate positions of the House. The
latest addition is John Dawson, of California,
for Sergeant-at-Arms He was Librarian of
the Senate prior to the Democratic organiza-
ton of that body. Edward M. johnson, of
New York. late Clerk of the State Senate,
Edward Mcpherson and ex-Congressman
Rainey, are among the candidates for Chief
Clerk. It is quite probable, however, that
the election of the Speaker will largely infiu-
ence the disposition of this place. If the
Speakership goes West, then an Eastern
man will be made Clerk, and vice versa.
