PROSPECTS OF A WARM CONTEST.

PROSPECTS OF A WARM CONTEST.
WASHINGTON, June There is some
talk about an anti-Republican combination
to organize the next house. Randall is
very active in it but doesn't expect to be a
candidate for speaker. Ladd staunch
Democrat and Greenbacker, is acceptable
to all Democrats and Greenbackers. 1t is
proposed to let the Greenbackers have the
clerk or sergeant at arms and control of
important committees. Ladd and Green
hackers propose to carry Fryes' vacant
district and Democrats to carry Morton 8
in New York A loss of these
would make Republicans in minority
provided two Virginian readjusters don't
vote with them. This is doubtful as the
Democrats claim their action. On Hyatt
and Smith, of Brooklyn, will depend the
organization of the next house. The
greenbackers say that all of their men will
be firm for tho party. Awarm contest is
probable in which it is said Conkling will
participate, if beaten in his fight for reel
lection by preventing the administration
from controlling the organization through
his friends in the house. Democrats are
dissatisfied because of the removal of sew
eral Democratic employees of the Senate.
New Democratic senators demand the re-
moval of old employees for the benefit of
their henchmen

John G. Jacobs, who, with Francis Ker-
nan, is a nominee of the Democrats for
senator from New York, is the same Jacobs
who presided at the state convention in
1879, when Kelly bolted and lost the state
to the Democrats. At that convention a
rush was made to nominate Jacobs as a
way out of the difficulties then besetting
the party, but he declined to accept. He is
self educated, and persuasive talker He
commenced life as an errand-boy for a
Brooklyn law office, got into ob-printing
office, became reporter and a war CORES
pondent, and, in 1867, was sent to the
legislature, of which he has been member
ever since. Had he accepted the guberna-
torial nomination three years ago, he would
probably have been elected, for Kellys
whole fight was upon Robinson. and
Jocobs could have commanded the united
vote of the party.

the factions; Grant and Conkling on one
side, Blaine and Garfield on the other. 1t
is the old Douglas and Breckenridge split
over again, and marks the decay of the
Republican party. The party will divide
and fall to pieces, as it ought to, and the
new party will displace them from power,
as was the case in 1860 There is one pos
sible contingency upon which the Repub-
lican party can again reunite, and that is
for the Democratic party to undertake to
vault into power through the fracture
That apprehension, and that alone, elected
Mr.. Garfield last fall. Our vigorous ciyili-
zation demands, and must have,
A NEW PARTY
OF progress, and yet conservative ideas
The National party is all that can
be desired in that regard. We de-
mand that the money shall be issued by
the government whether metallic or
paper, not by banks. We further demand
the control of the interstate commerce by
the general government which includes
the regulation of railroad transportation,
and we demand that the public debt shall
be paid according to contract and not re-
funded. In word the three great agents
OF commerce, money, transportation and
the telegraph, shall be controlled in the in
terests of the whole people, and shall be
taken from under the control of the mon
opolies. These are the broad issues that
we. present, compared with which the COM
temptible struggle now going on for Off
eial patronage within and between the old
parties is extremely ridiculous. Neither
the Democratic nor Republican parties re-
present any idea or principle dear to the
American people to-day. They are not up
with our civilization, but are clogs on it, in
both their leadership and also their leading
newspapers. They are completely under
the control of banks and monopolies. Now,
there, you have my views, and, may add
you have no right to ask them if you don't
print what I say, let it hit where it will"

A RADI.y-MIxED AFFAIR.

ALBANY. June 6.-The withdrawal of
Assemblyman Cowles during the joint ses-
sion Yesterday from the stalwart forces,
and his immediate enlistment IN the army
of the half breeds, is far more important
than the outside public can yet realize.
Cowles was regarded on both sides as one
who would be among the last to desert the
ex-boss, and propably he would not nave
surprised universal calculation, but for the
fact that the Republicans of Monroe coun-
tv, from which he halls, have threatened
direst vengeance upon any and all officials
who, by vote or by voice, sustalns the stai-
Wart ex-senator The forcible sentences
in the various addresses originating In the
locality have made it clear to Assemblymen
and others that allegiance to Conk-

have-but that object he forgot to state.
The secret is that the Republicans are too
familiar with each others history to
place much confidence in each
others professions. A slate has been made
up which all outside the thirty-five stall
warts are getting ready to accept, which
Is, ChaunceF M. Depew and Alonzo b.

stalwart. By calling over the roll and
naming the candidate Cornell might be a
winner, and declared so by the president of
the convention. That would be one part
OF the contract carried out. Mr.. Depew
would be the slated candidate on the next
roll-call, and perhaps would get left. He
might not, it is true, but at the same time
these stalwarts and half breeds like to
throw safe guards around defective memo
ries.
HEDGING TACTICS.
It Is very amusing to watch the hedging
tactics resorted to by some of the states
men. Many of them have bills in which
they and their constituencies are interested
These bills have passed only one house,
and, before they can be presented to the
Governor, must pass the other house, The
Assembly sympathizes with Stalwartism,
the Senate with i-Stalwartism, so that a
member, to be a successful bill -passer, must
either be Democrat in politics or ride two
horses placed in opposite directions Sew
eral Republicans have attempted this feat,
but their measures found a resting place in
either one of the Legislative waste-baskets.
1t remained, however, for Putnam county
statesman to eclipse his associates. This
gentleman, Everett by name, has little
water bin which proposes to create an army
of off1ce-holders in that county, and COM
pei the taxpayers of New York to pay their
salaries. There are other important pro-
visions in the bill, but this one is sufficient
TO illustrate why Everett should
be interested in its passage,
and be willing to take long chances to
bring about that result. He introduced it
in the assembly, carefully tailed the mem
bers, found sixty-five of them enough to
pass his billy at that time sympathized
with Conkling, and for two days and nights
he was inconsolable. His criticism of the
ingratitude of President Garfield, so say the
stalwarts, would have made the Mentor
statesman wilt like parched
flower, Sharpe, Culliman, and even
little Brodsky, talked themselves
hoarse in behalf of the bill
and it rushed through the Assembly with
the velocity of electricity. When it reach
ed the Senate Everett took the Conkling
Grape from his arm, and since then is un
able to comprehend chow Roscoe could be

dered the bill to third reading, and it

not intend to get left at this stage of the
proceedings, and to square himself with

finds a place on the statute-books, he
