WASHINGTON, Dec, IA very pretty
row is going on in the Democratic camp
over the speakership of the next house.
with probability of serious split in the
ranks If it continues. So bitter has the
feeling become between Carlisle and
Blackburn, that personal intercourse and
the ordinary civilities of private gentle
men are barely observed. Carlisle saw
agely attacks Blackburn, and says that he
has only entered the fight to defeat him.
and not because he has the least idea of
winning himself. In an interview TO-DAY
blackburn said he made the race against
Randall before, and was only beaten by
nine votes, and instead of acknowledging
gallant enemy, Randall showed him into
lnslgnltl cant pla ces on all the committees.
Said Mr.. Blackburn: '"Since Keifer has
come IN have been promoted to positions
ten times as responsible as those given by
Randall, and under a Republican rule in
the house have received greater consider
alton than obtained from my own party.
Since the contest for the speakership /
have done nothing to forfeit my claim on
the Democratic party, and 1 occupy the
same platform now as did then, namely.
reduction of the internal revenue taxation
and the revision of the tariff. Carlisle is
great man in some respects, but he did not
| come to me to say that he was a candidate.
| but went at work to shove me off the track.
without even saying, by your leave have
majority of the Kentucky delegation. and
l do not propose to be run out of the race.
l will enter the contest and I will fight for
success by ali honorable means within my
power. In regard to Mr.. Carlisles record
at the last session of congress, wish to
make the point that in the ways and means
committee he voted for the Kelly bill to
remove the tax On tobacco, which is in d.
rect opposition to Democratic doctrine,
which is IN favor of taxing luxuries and re-
moving duties on necessities. In doing
this Carlisle fell into Kelly's trap, and 1
may say that there we're many other Demo-
Gratis who made the same error
Blackburn's tone indicated that
he meant business, and would
Persevere in the fight. 1t
is whispered that Randall is secretly at
work tanning the flame with hopes that his
powerful adversaries will destroy them
selves, SO that at the final vote he would be
IN the same position as the boy who put in
his thumb and pulled out the plum.
CIVIL, SERVICE REBORN
Democratic senator's, in talking of that
feature of the Pendletor bill which pro-
| vlded for competitive examination. said:
eve can't agree to that feature of the bill,
of course. If that feature should become
law, the present officials would remain in
Office until they were carried to their last
resting places. Men who have spent years
IN the public service attending to particu-
lar lines of duty could, of
course, distance any new man in
an examination for places to which they
are accustomed, and the work of which is
almost second nature to them. Again, if
only men who have fair business or lit
erary education are accepted, hundreds
who are we'll qualified for special duties.
but who are deficient in literary accom-
plishments, would have emo chance of
getting government employment. A man
who spells Incorrectly might be far better
suited for some kinds of employment than
one who writes an elegant hand and never
makes mistake in his or Typography"
| CABINET CHANGES RUMoRED.
1t is whispered in official circles that
within sixty days there will in
portant changes in the assignment
o. certain high officers of the
government. 1t is said that Secretary
Lincoln will be appointed minister to
England, which will open the way for ex-
Governor Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, to
become secretary of war, position he has
long coveted, and to which it suits the
purposes of the Cameron dynasty and At
torney General Brewster to have him ele-
waited before the next general election &C.
ours in Pennsylvania. The next step is to
put Mr.. Brewster on the supreme bench in
piece of Justice Bradley, and to fill the at
torney generalship with stalwart Western
Republican, whose name is not given by
the political gossipers. The main mo-
tive for the changes foreshadowed is said
to be an earnest desire on the part
Of the elder Cameron and of that wing OF
the Republican party of which his son Don
is the hereditary leader, to have in the cab
met better representative, that is, one
politically more efficient, than the beruf-
fled lawyer whose influence is of no practi
cal value to them in their campaign
against the Independents. Mr.. Brews-
tors fine abilities as lawyer do not com
pensate the party for his want of knowl-
edge of practical politics of the kind that
made the machine so successful for many
years. Ex-senator Simon Cameron is now
here, and his consultations with persons
in administration circles have inspired the
belief that he regards the
new deal as outlined above a positive me-
kcessity to secure the recovery of the state
of Pennsylvania from the Democrats.
