WASHINGTON, November 2S.-A number
of additional arrivals of congressman
having been recorded to-day, the
canvass for the Speakership has
increased in activity, but less than half of
the Republican members of the next House
are now in Washington and the
prospects of rival candidates are as
yet y mere matters of question
and conjecture. Very confident claims of
assured Iloiorities in caucus are never
theless put forth by the supporters,
respectively, Of Messrs Kasson,
Keifer and Hiscock, and it is argued by the
friends of Representatives Reed, Dun
nell, Orth, Henderson, and Bow
ers, that each of these men is
likely to carry off the prize, eventually,
as result of a deadlock among the three
candidates most prominently named. The
caucus choice for the position of Clerk of
the House will, it is conceded, be between
ex-Clerk Edward Mcpherson, OF Pennsyl-
vania, and Ex-Congressman Rainey, of
South Carolina, with chances largelyNn ia
vor Of the former.
