There seems to he a prospect
Of a dead lock in the House over
the contested election case of
Mackey against Dibble. Demo
cratic members have determined
to iillb"ster, if the Republicans
attempt to bring up the case. All
Republican ahsentees have been
ordered by telegraph to return I'm
me'iiately to Washington, III or

'his Is obtained, it is said the Re
publicans will contrive to have
IA vote, but with such an eype>
rienced parllmentarian as Mr..
Randall leading the Democrats.
it is difficult to see how IL vote
can be reached. The parties are
so nearly equal in strength that,
