TIE SPEAKERSHIP.

The leading topic OF debate at Wash
ingtOn-neXt to GUITEAU-iSt the Speak
ership of the House.
The candidates thus far are Mr.. HIS
COCK Of New York, Mr.. KASSON of
Iowa, Mr.. KEIFER of Ohio, Mr.. Dun
NELL. of Minnesota, Mr.. REED Of Maine,
Mr.. ORTIZ Of Indiana, and Mr.. ROBIN
SON of Massachusetts. The strongest
candidates are MeSsrs. HISCOCK and
KEIFER. They are both GARFIELD
men, but Mr.. HISCOCK hopes for sup
port by Eastern State Stalwarts, be-
cause he represents that end of the
country: while Mr.. KEIFER hopes for
the same from Western Stalwarts, he
Canse ne represents that end of the
country.
The exact standing of the candidates
and the outcome of the contest are
things that no fellow can find out.
The speculatiOns Of the press are
marked for their variety and are~more
confusing than. edifying. Whatever
satisfaction readers may derive from
such sources il contained in such COM
ments ~ the following:
''The Speakership matter continues to
lOOk hopeful for KASSoS."
ale IS the best equipped man for the
Speakership, but he is suspected of be-
ing free trader. From present indica-
tons the success of HIsCOCK may be
predicted"
ut is probable that HISCOCK, KASsoN
and kEIFER will start with nearly an
equal number of votes"
"KAssON is the only man feared by the
East"
mot enough members have arrived to
clear away the mixed condition of
things regarding the Speakership.n
The situation is badly mixed, and
none of the candidates appear to have
very exact idea of the number of their
own support" ..-...
"Mr. Keifer says If he does not de-
yelop more strength on the first ballot
than all other competitors, except Mr..
Hiscock, he will withdraw"
'Of course, the provincial West viii
urge her claims, but without Southern
alliance that shall embrace liberal APP
preparations for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors, her provinGialism
may receive humiliating kick.n,
CAT Keifer's headquarters they do not
concede KassOn more than fifteen
votes"
s'The personal fight between Kasson
and Hiscock may lead to the success of
3 dark horse"

PrrrIsG THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB
ON IT'S FEE.

The o-panization Of the E,.mocratie
Club In this city Is slow going pro,ev,,
for n thing of genuine vitality.
A live man would think it dead.
IL has a pace like the duh, dreary
disquisitions of school of philosophers
in tie dead ages.
This, too, in Democratic city, of
Democratic antecedCnts, with plenty Of
Democratic enthusiasm, and Dem Ocratic
money, and devotion to the living prih-
ciples Of the Democratic party.
This is a Democratic shame upon
good Democratic reputation.
Eut TIE project n not dead; III Is
gradually however too gradual the pro-
cesS-eyoiving into life.
For some weeks manifesto, issued
by a meeting called for preliminary
organization, has been circulating
among the Democrats of the city, IN
which the objects of the organization
are briefly set forth, and subscription
list is attached which was designed to
secure pledges of sufficient sum OF
money 10 defray the necessary expenses
of securing and furnishing permanent
quarters for the club.
We understand that the subscription
i lists show very crelitable degree oil
| substantial sympathy with the project
among the masses of the party; that
I while the individual pledges are mostly
! small they are general, and furnish n re-
/ liable, earnest of a hearty cooperation oil
tho marty at large with the purposes oi
thfS on comes an influential and entnu-
/ siastic Democrat, who, like many 9TH
! ers. is becoming fretted with the excess
sive deliberatiOn, and proposes to settle
, all matters of a pecuniary character by
! agreeing to be one Of the forty who will
/ pledge themselves for So each, if nee
! essary, to put the project at once on its
/ feet.
That is business.
There are more than forty Democrats
! in Wheeling who have more than So
concern for the prosperity and perpetuity
| of the Democratic party and Demo-
cratic majority in this locality, and
whose pleasure it will be to pledge the
amount named.
The pledge of 81 900 will justify the
club in selecting quarters at once and
proceeding with all the details of the
permanent organization. The smaller
subscriptions will be collected, and if the
MllDiC VI lAlC 81 III AANt
needed, it will not be called for.
We say this is business. 1t is the ini-
tial step upon which there has been too
much dilly-daliying. The winter sea-
son is fast passing, and if the Organiza-
ton of the club is not to be postponed to
death, its friends had better be up and
doing. All that is needed is a little
more unity Of action, little more
esprit dU corps, Il little higher sense of
responsibility by individual Democrats
to put their shoulders to the wheel.
For the purpose Of considering the
above named proposition, and receiving
the reports Of the committees on sub
scriptfOnS and other matters, as well as
settling the plans for an immediate or
ganizatiOn, we are authorized to an
nOmce that there will be mass meet
ing held ut the Court House on Satur-
day evening next, to which every DEM
Ocrat is invited, and every Democrat
expected. We hope there will be no
abSenteeS.

THE RIGHT OF WAY CAMPAIGN ON
The W. y. & &. ROITE.

We are gratified to learn that the feel.
ing among the landowners is growing
more favorable toward the W., u. & e.
railroad, and there is a more liberal
disposition toward tie matter of the
right of way.
This feeling is the result of the cOnclu-
sion now accepted by the landowners,
that the building of the railroad is n
fixed fact, and they have turned about
to consider the benefits they may derive
from il rather than the slight inconven-
fence it may bring with it.
We referred tO.the fact, the other day,
ing the tbT@uitS a." Prse 90 nsis.
river bottoms a. not to injure the lands
for farming purposes by dividing these
narrow strips. The farmers seemed to
object to having the road run through
the centre, preferring that it follow the
foot of the rough land bounding the bot
toms, or go Immediately upon the river
bank.
When, however, ii was shown that to
run the line along the rough land would
require deep cuts to be made which would
more effectually divide the farms than
the track laid upon the level bottom,
besides making dangerous and im-
pasSable ditch for stock to fall into, the
farmers are becoming better reconciled
TO have the road follow the level land,
which will also greatly reduce the cost
of construction.
These strips of bottom land alternate
with abrupt peaks projecting upon
the river bank. When the river curves
toward the west there are peaks on the
West Virginia side and bottoms en- the
Ohio side, and rise rersd. The cost of
construction will be comparatively
cheap on the bottoms, which prepOnder-
ate, provided there Is liberality in grant
ing the right ofway. In getting through
these peaks, however, the work Of con-
strIICtiOn will he very great.
The route has now been permanently
located from this end down rs far AZ
Fish Creek, and we are glad to learn
that, with very few exceptions, the Mar
shall county farmers are more literally
disposed than the most confident antici-
pated. Below Marshall county, and the
farther removed the people are from
railroads facilities, the more anxious
they will be to secure the road and
therefore to make liberal terms upon the
right of way. Good progress is being
made, and we hope soon to hear of u
settlement of the entire matter.

ALEXANDER X. MCCLURE, who is at

wart revel in Washington. The men
who lisped the praise of Garfield when
he came into power, and the men who
spoke of his suffering and probable death
with tremulOus voice, are not heard in
the hotels, or the streets, or in the de-
partments. His sun has set, and the
titful wOrshippers of the capital who

THE idea that the Republican party
would deliberately kill the goose that
laid the golden eggs, which were used to
such good advantage in New York and
Indiana last year, is one that we have
never entertained; so the gradual de-
yelopment of the star route trials into q
stupendous farce il but the realization of
fOrpgone conclusions. The sober fact of
Ofthe matter is that the star route ring
qas always been an essential part of the
Republican machine, SO that whenever
that ring ceases to exist the Republican
party will be ready for an obituary no
tice. An earnest and vigorous prosecu-
ton of this ring would mean deliberate
suicide.
