W.sgH1xGrox. D. c., June 27~-Congress-
mSn Keifer, a. Ohio, is here putting in
some work for mis- election as Speaker of the
neztlHouse. It's settled that Keifer will be
Ohios candidate, and will haveell the back
ipg.end influence OF that State ats claimed
fer Eim by some friends that he will also
have the support of the Administration.
1t cen be stated though that the Admins
trot;en will not take any part fer or against
any candidate for Speaker in the OrganiYa-
tor of the House. While tAe President
misht feel gratified at the election of Keifer,
a fcrrner colleague and present friend, he
has other friends who are candidates for
SPEAKER and will not even intimate prefer
ense for auy one. The new members of the
next Housea.re coming TO Washington now
fCr the purpose of getting acquainted IN all
Departments and of looking around be
forre they enter upon their duties when
Congress meets. Candidates fOC Speaker get
in their work by meeting these new mem
bezs and introducing them in various
branches OF the Government. All indica-
ti0ns point TO a lively contes over the next
Speakership. There are eight candidates
named frODl the Republican side, as fol-
lows: rkeifey OF Ohio kasson, OF Iowa;
Hisceck. of New York; Robson, of New
Jersey; Burrows and Hubbell, Of Michigan;
Reed. of Maine, and Orth, of Indiana.
Keiferis the most active so far, but the in
terests OF KassOn are nOtb by any means be-
ing overlooked, as he has some powerful
friends. HiscOck also has considerable out
srOFen SUPPORT. but how the fightin New

be told Prior to the Senatorial contest in
New York it was claimed for HiscOok that
he had more positive strength than any
other candidate In connection with the
Speslsership there is good deal
said here among Congressman, ex-
Copgressnen and COngressmen-elect as
to what GOnkling and the Stolwarts
may do. An ex-COngressman who
is taking much interest in the SpeakeFship' s
contest saws: The Stalwarts will have q
selection of their own for Speaker, and
Crowiev of New York, is mentioned This
theory of Stalwart fight, however, seems TO
be an extreme view. A member who has

Republicans had a good sized majority that
question might be fought over, but their hold
upon the next House is so stern that they
will be careful TO avoid all subjects calcu-
lated to create dissension. There will be
competition for the compliment OF the
Democratic nomination, though it looks as

there are some prominent Democrats who

from Maine are that1the election of Dingley
Republican, TO succeed Frye is assured, as
the Democrats and .GreenbaeEers are not

publicans admit that the election of Dem

probable, and X seems to be generally con-
ceded that Democrat can be elected to sue
