pauizatiou Of the House OF Representatives become
moIe active. rs also does the discussion regarding
the merits and prospects Of the different candidates
tor the Spcahcrsaip. The Republicans have
bare majority in the House, assuming hat the sue
c,s.or Of Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island, will be Re
publican. In this majority is included Mr.. Brumm.
of PENNSYLVANIA, whorlu asa Republican Green
blcker" and who 1t is sometimes asserted VIII not
enter the Republican caucus, but viii support the
Grrcnback candidate should one be placed III the
field Neither ono Of these assertions Is believed
by Pennsylvania Republicans who profess
60 t,oy, Mr. BramIns purposes One
Republican member General Browne, OF Indiana
has been seriously i'll for some weeks, ana IL Is
doubts ful whether hc will be able to take ms seat on
the first Monday in December. h'uld he be unable
toappearo or should any other Republican be absent
Che regular Republicans would not have majority
of the whole House in attendance.
There is, however, no reasonable ground upon
which 10 base n doubt regarding the election OF Tue
Republican caucus nominee. Before congress 'u
! journed last spring, Representatives. Hyatt oml'h
of Brooklyn, sIgnIhed in writing his intention TO
vote with the Republicans in all questions reIatlhg
to the organization Of the House, rs wei MS on All
other party questions. OF the two Anu-Bourbon
! REPRESENTATIVES from Virginia, shr. Iaui
certainly. and Mr.. Fulkerson probably, VIII
vote with Republicans on all questions
affecting the organization of the House. Channcey
| l. Ficy, of Missouri, who is presumed to Know ue-
cares u ,sitvely that the three members from that
| State who were elected as " Greeuback RepuOh-
cansD Mcssrs fIazcltnc, Rice and Burrows, VIII
vote with the Republicans on all questions relatlhg
to organzation There has been some talk OF an at
tempt by the Greenbacllers to elect candidate oil
their own. The fact is recalled that william d.
Kelley voted for Hcndrick B. Wright the ureeh-
back candidate for Speaker, at the organization Oh
the last Congress- and in some quarters the Dehel Is
expressed that Mr.. Kelley would himself accepl the
Greenback nomination If rendered to hlIn' lHcie
appears TO he no good reason to believe that such
performance will be attempted, that, II tried II
will succeed.
Regarding the prospects of tha different can
didates for Sneaker whose names will be
presented TO the Republican caucus, there Is
very little information that is at all definite OF
! Trustworthy There is considerable talk OF an at
| TEMPT to unite the scyenty-two Republican votes OF
the Western States upon Western candidate III
! opposition to Mr.. Hiscock or any other eahulua'u
from the Eastern and Middle states, when sehd
! only sixty-six Republican members Such ulV-
sion would 1t is confidently believed by many
Western Republicans, especially by all VINO arc
candidates, result in choice of Western man loi
Speaker. Among the members who, their lrlenus
assert, could unite the Western vote and perhaps
make inroads into the Eastern vote, are MessrS'
Keifer of Ohio. Kasson of Iowa, burrows
of Michigan, and Dunnell Of Minnesota Inc last
three are now in Washington and VIII remain mere
until the assembling of Congress. Other western
candidates for the Speakership, active or passive
are Mtssrs Orth of Indiana, Henderson OF ILLINOIS,
| Williams of Wisconsin, Haskell OF Kansas ana
Van Horn of Missouri. Ii will be observed tha'
there is no dearth of candidates from the west
The only Eastern candidate prominently mentioned
