The protectionists haqe been advocating
the claims of Kelley Of Pennsylvania. gem
orally known as Pig Iron, as speaker of the
next House; but the Harrisburg World thus
disposess of his case.
There are several very important facts
either of which viii operate to prevent
Kelleys promotion. They are: 1. Physi
cal inability to perform the duties of speak
er on account of bronchial and lung affec-
tions, so dangerous, indeed, that the slight
est strain upon the voice produces severe
hemorrhages: 2. With the exception of
old Pig Iron, there is not single mem
Der of congress from Pennsylvania, repub
hcan or greenbacker, who viii vote for
Kelley for speaker; 8. The total vote that
ne will obtain from congressman outside of
Pennsylvania is estimated here at just one
vote less than viii be given him by con-
gressmen from his own state; 4. His re-
fusal to vote for Garfield for speaker two
years ago creates an administration antag
onism that he can not overcome: 5. Every
member of congress from this state sees
through Kelley's game of playing the joker
TO catch the right bower-or rather the
speakership to secure the Craftsmanship of
the committee of ways and means, and
thus enable him to obstruct all measures
having a revision of tariff in view They
all say his game will not win, and that if
the Craftsmanship of this important com
mittee is to be given to Pennsylvania it
win go to Mr.. William Ward, of Chester"
Kelley is confirmed protectionist and
his whole course in the House has been an
advocacy of protection and protection
theories. As chairman of the ways and
means committee, he would use all the in
fluence of his position to put the clog on
any free trade measures that might be adj
vocated. His presence however, might
result in good as it would probably bring
the whole tariff question under discussion
a thing much to be hoped for.

BRIBERY BRIEFS.

When a doubtful member is visited by a
lobbyist the Albany way of putting it now
is that he has been waited upon by a
Deportation.
The trouble at Albany is 'sall on account
OF a lie sir, though it has not yet been es-
tablished by whom told.
Bradley testified that he had been read
ing the history of parliamentary corruption
in England just before the tempter APP
preached him. Perhaps with a view to
current quotations.
The view of our half-bree contempt
raries seems to be that although Bradley
was undoubtedly bribed by Sessions it is
impossible that Sessions should have really
bribed Bradley
When the average Republican legislator
at Albany hears another average Republi-
can legislator knock at his door he asks,
Are you alone?' and if the reply is in the
affirmative he rings for bell boy as wit
ness to the interview before admitting his
friend.
When a Republican legislator at Albany
gives barkeeper bill and the barkeeper
scrutinizes it closely before making change
cold sweat breaks out on the legislators
brow and his knees knock together like
castanets as the horrible reflection flashes
upon his mind: Maybe they made a
note of the nurnbersF

scratching his own ears, and has been try

pirited about his chances. Pitney is not
very sanguine. And we have not had full

siderable need of vindication of some sort,
although it is difficult at present to tell

The Democratic convention held at Des
Moines yesterday, did its work well. Il
made but three resolutions and they were
needed ones. The planks were:
l. A tariff for revenue only
2. Opposition to sumptuary laws.
8. An advocacy of cheap water trans
portation.
The different planks have been too often
and we'll discussed to need much advocacy
perhaps; but thorough and free discus
sion will perhaps, pull down to a consider
able extent, the Republican majority OF
the Republican banner state.

The arguments of the Malone party in
Virginia are the most striking instances of
political cheek that are often met with.
The reputation idea is bad enough, but
the issue, that they say is in favor Of a
free ballot, is simply abominable.
This is the issue on which they ask for
Republican support, They desire to repeal
the poll tax law, and what is their argu-
mentf 1t is that the repeal would add to
that gentleman's party the effective force
from forty to fifty thousand colored
tes.' These voters are not disfranchis.
