The Contest for Speaker.

WASHINGTON, October 8.-Congress-
man Phil Thompson, of Kentucky,
arrived here day. He thinks that
Carlisle will have enough votes to
nominate him for the Speakership. He
declares that Randall cannot be elected,
because the Democratic majority cannot
let the tariff rest as it is, and Randall
is the candidate of the Republican
press throughout the country to accom-
plish that very thing. He said: "The
question that will meet us the very first
day we assemble is, what shall we do
with the surplus revenue piling up in
the Treasury? 1t cannot be boarded.
The bonds subject to redemption will
not last over two years. We must either
find way to spend it or cut it off. We
cannot honestly do the former and all
that remains is to do the other thing.
We must cut down the tariff or repeal
the internal revenue taxes. SO we can
not let the matter rest with the law
passed last session."
Referring again to Randall, Mr..
Thompson remarked: :" don't think
Randalls speech at Cleveland will do
him any good. 1t was very incon-
siderate, and can't imagine what end
he wished to gain by it for himself or
his party either. 1t was so intem-
perate that it will injure him.

Denies the Assertion. .

A letter received from J. T. Stephens
Jr., President Of the Seaford base bali
club, denies the report of fight at
the Capital Hotel, Dover, one night du.
ring the fair, between the Milford and
seaford clubs, as published in the RE.
PUBLICAN the subsequent day, and
says 1t "was false hood from begin.
ming to end, rs nothiug but the most
friendly feeling exists between the
members of the two clubs.
The fight in question took place as
reported by one of our own reporters
who was in Dover at the time, and dur
ing the fracas a young man named
Alonzo Morris, of the Milford club had
a number of his teeth knocked out and
one or two others appeared at the fair
the next day with black eyes.
Whether or not all the members of the
respective clubs were present can not
be definitely stated, but there were GER
tainly three or four of the two clubs in
the row, AID the occurrence caused con-
siderable talk In the town. 1t is not
the intention of the REPUBLICAN 10
mlsrepresent anyone, but the facts in
this case were correct as published, ex-
cept some of the members of the two
clubs might not have been there.

Efforts For Sergeant MasOn's Re-
lease,

WASHINGTON, Oct. S-Counsel for
Sergent Mason, who is now serving out
sentence at Albany, are making a
strong effort to have the case re-opened
in the interest of their client. One of
the strongest points made is that Judge
Advocate General Swain in his report
on the case made II recommendation
favorable to the sergeant, but no heed
was paid to it. 1t is asserted that Gene
raj Swain held that, although the of
fense which Mason committed was sub
versive of military discipline, t at the
court martial which tried him did SO
on civil charge--that Of assault and
battery with intent to kill. This, Cen
eral Swain thinks, was not proper, for
it belonged o the jurisdiction of the
civil courts and not an army court
martial to take cognizance of such
charge. His recommendation was
made accordingly that the sergeant had
not been properly tried and his impris-
onment would be illegal, but til" report
and recommendation was pigeon hoIed
at the War Department. Now, how
ever, through the efforts of Masou's
lawyers, it is likely that the findings
wi Il be made public, as they i,,lrud 10
lay the matter before the President for
decisive action.
