WAsH1NGToN, Oct. 20.-The coming ele
tion for speaker OF the house Is as much
matter of speculation now as President A
thurs cabinet intentions. There is no re;
basis for any information on the speakershi
except that there are n number of able K
pablican candidates here. Besides those name
in the race, there are not less than a doZe
who have pretentions and hopes. Anon
those are Butterworth, of Ohio, Calkings, {
Indiana, Davis, of Illinois, Horr, of Michigan
Houk, of Tennessee, McCook, of New Yorl
and Others who have had some experience a
members. Houk thinks the honor of til
speakership might go to a Southern Republ
can, with the view of building up the party i
that section, and that he would be fit IN a
for the place.
The truth is that the element of doubt as t.
the Republican control of the next house mul
tiplies the candidates, then being membe
each one thinks that in such q close contes
he could command some certain suppor
which others could not get. In order to hav
the number of votes necessary to insure con
troll of the organization, the Republicans mus
carry three out of four congressman to b.
elected III New York next month. Beside;
this the contingencies of the situation are ia
vorable to the Republicans, and therefore the
organization is generally conceded to them
But it will probably take al the strength they
can command to secure 1t.
Brumm, of Pennsylvania, who has been
counted as certain for the vote for the straight
Republican organization, has entered hastily
into the Greenback canvass in his state, and
declares his purpose to vote for Greenback
speaker. Secretary Crandall, of the National
Greenback committee, and editor Of the Ma
tIonal Greenback organ here, says every mem
Der elected rs a Greenbacker will go into the
Green5ack caucus and stand by that party to
the end, and that Hyatt Smith, of Brooklyn,
VIII be with them. The two readjuster
members from Virginia, will 10. doubt
he influenced by the result of
next months election in that state.
A careful survey of the whole field, with
all doubts considered, makes The Republican
organization more than probable, as the eX-
cellent discipline and management of that
party invariably trfumphs in such crises. 1t
is not known how the administration will
stand towards the different candidates. His
cock might have had the administration sup
port but he probably forfeited it at the late
Republican convention ip New York. He was
elected by the stawarts as a man agreeable to
them for temporary chairman of the conven-
tion. The atalwarts were anxious to defeat
General Miller and they fixed up Hiscoek as Il
candidate who would be acceptable TO q large
number of half-breeds. At the last moment
Hiscock deserted them and retired, leaving
Miller an easy victory. It is believed by those
who are in q position to know, that the
administration will favor western man
for speaker, regarding that as popular thing
to do. If this be correct, it is likely that Kas-
son, from the stalwarts, will get the good
viii of the administration. Keifer, of Ohio,
Is working hard, but his chances are not re-
garded as 1lrst-rate by any means. Should
the Greenbackers hold the balance of power
through the loss Of Republican districts in
New York, which is only among the proba-
biities, it is rot regarded as likely that they
could make any terms with the Democrats for
a combination ticket for the organization.
Hewitt and other genuine hard money Demo
Gratis openly declare they would rather see a
straight Republican organization than one
controlled even in part by Greenbackers.
AFTER BURCHARD's SCALP.
Congressman Page, of California, backed by
other Republicans of that state, is to make a
fight against the director of the mint, Burch.
ard, with a view of having him removed
Page and others some time ago attempted to
have Lagrange, superintendent of the San
Francisco mint, removed An investigation
ensped, but Burchard supported LaGrange,
and he was sustained. Page now claims that
the investigation was 4 white washing affair,
and that Burchard managed to save LaGrange.
Frank Cicott, formerly coiner of the San Fran
cisco mint, and who was removed by Burch
ard, is here with Page, and furnishes testimony
on which Page bases his attack on Rurchard

criminal court this morning, and after a pri
vate conference with the court and Distric
Attorney Corkhill, retired without making
IN adjournment upon the application for an
order for witnesses and fees. 1t is probable
according to Scovlle's statement the cour
will grant the application tomorrow with
out adjournment, and at the same time as
sign associate counsel to aid in the defense
DR.. Spray, SUPERINTENDENT of the insane asy
lum, whom Scoyille announced he woul(
summon to prove Guiteau's insanity, says ht

mony, If summoned, would probably greatly
disappoint the defense, as he believes Guiteau
should hang.
VERY SENSITIVE.

cism upon his action in accepting the presi
Gency pro ten. at the hands of the republicans

that his nomination was the result of
