ESTABLISHED 1910.

A PICTURESQUE feature OF the English
elections was the candidacy of .Hindoo
gentleman, Mr.. Lalmohan Chose (pro-
nounced Cough, as the New York HerdLfs
London correspondent tells us). Mr.. Chose
had gone to England from India to defend
Lord Ripon's policy as viceroy, and this
naturally brought him in sympathy with
the Liberals, who induced him to stand
for Deptford against a Mr.. Evelyn, who
only defeated him by few votes. Mr..
Chooses purpose in trying to enter Pariia-
mentary life was to represent the griev-
ances of India and agitate the question of
Parliament, of home rule for that portion
of the British empire. In the course of an
interview with the Herald correspondent
Mr.. Chose said: 81 would strengthen the
bond between India and England and not
loosen it. There is no tendency in India
toward separation and no wish to help the
Russians. We hope simply for progre ssive
liberty. II that is assured us India will
continue loyal" This movement of Mr.
Chose is but the beginning of the end. 1t
is the cloud no bigger than a mans hand
that portends the demand of 200, ,000, 900
OF people for seli-government.

MEMPHIS POLITICS,
As They Are Understood by q NewspR-

Memphis letter to the Nashville Banner;
Great interest is being manifested just
now in the municipal elections, which
come of in January. President Hadden
is q candidate for reelection. He is iden-
titled with the business industries of Mem
phis, and has the hearty support of the
merchants or 'front row" element, and,
in faci, almost all the better class of citi-
zens. He is opposed by the Jack Walsh
crowd, representing the sore-heads, many
of the Irish voters and the Republicans.
All Of these are busy casting about to fad
an opponent 10 Mr.. HaddeD. DR.. Porter is
probably the only man in Memphis who
could have won. Well, DR..
Porter, seeing the condition Of things,
would not consent to letting bis name be
used, so the opposition started up Gen.
Williamson, ex-U Dited States marshal for
this district. williamson couldn't unite
the elements of the opposition, go his name
was passed by, and Mr.. R. J. Black is
now the probable opponent to Mr..
Hadden. Mr.. Rack is a popular
citizen, and will, no doubt, make
a close run, even II he cannot beat Mr..

CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER
On the Republican side of the House
LOnE Of Massachusetts the Wan.

LonE OF Massachusetfs the Man.
The correspondent of the Boston Record
SAYS that among the Republican members
a quiet canvass is going On for their COM
pimentary nomination. The candidates
are Reed of Maine, Hiscock of New York
and Long OF Massachusetts. The first two
are in the field because they are old men,
bers, were voted for at the time the Keller
combination was successful, and
both aspire to be the recognized leaders of
the Republican side. The minority can
didate is always consulted in making up
the committee list in his party, and has
his own choice. Then if the Republicans
should be SO lqcky next year as TO carry
the House, the winner this time would
have the inside track for the nomination
then. In This party Gov. Long is
hero. He is one who in his first
term made at least two speeches
t. which the House listened, got
g place on the Appropriations Com
mittee, and did not "slop over" as the
late Mr.. Ward remarked. They regard
him as their especial champion, and, if
they can put him to the front, it will be
done. But if he does nothing. the force
of precedent .snd the efforts OF old
friends will probably give either Reed or
Hiscock the nomination. Reed stands a
better chance than Hiscock, because he is
a more growing member, and has better
hold on the HOUSE. Reed will lead the
Republican side in the fight over the
rules, of which he is a master. Then
again there is feeling that the nomina-
ton may aid him in securing another
term from his district, while Hiscock
and Long are perfectly sure of their
constituencies. Reed is a peculiar and
very attractive man-when he wants
to be. He is always smart, and
sometimes ugly. On the Republican
side, as it now stands, he is about the only
man whose personality is aggressively fell
in the House. There are other able men
but no one who is feared on every occa
sion, and who has the faculty of maxim:
his points in a ten minute speech.

TO-DAY the Episcopal Church will in
augurats in New York the first of series
of advent missions, following the exam
pie OF the English Church, which revived
them in Lordon in 1869. In that year
the success was so marked as to call out
the approval and blessing Of the Bishops
of London, Winchester and Rochester.
Last year another mission was held in 800
churches of that city, which, attended
with great and gratifying results, encour-
aged many churchmen in New York to
believe that as much relative good might
be accomplished in that city by similar
services To this the Right Rev. Henry
O. Potter, in consultation, gave his full
approval and sympathy, and he appointed
a committee of clergyUlen to make az
rRngements for the services. On this
committee every degree of opinion, from
the Broad Churchman to tho extreme
RituRlist, is represented, and all classes are
sanguine of good results. The services
will be initiated by three prominent En-
glish missionaries who have had great ex-
perience in missions in Eugland-the Rev.
w. Hay AitkeD, the Rev. Francis Pigon
and the Rev. DR.. Ransford. Bishop Ell
liott Of Western .'eKas, Bishop Tuttle oi
Utah and humber of prominent clergy
men from Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylyania will assist. The Rev. DIR. Newton
Of Philadelphia will conduct the children's
services in st. Marks Church. This is q
departure from what, in this country, has
been the settled policy and purpose of the
Episcopal Church, but in England and OF
the continent, especially with the Catholic
Church, missions have always, from the
earliest times, been regarded with favor by
earnest men and women. They have been
considered ga means of grace" equal tc
the revivals Of the Methodist and other
Evangelical churches, though conducted
with the method and system usual &c

Walter Phelps, with his studied rhetorical
efforts; not the always pathetic and lachry-
NOSE Browne of Indiana. These are the
men who might be thought of as possible
Republican floor leaders this winter. The
two men who can and viii speak for that
side are Messrs. Reed and Lsng, with
specialists like Mckinley on the tariff and
Dingley on shipping interests. Reeds
gen.lsst word is sting to the Democratic
side; while Longs sharpest denunciation
is received good naturedly. That is the
natural difference between the two Reed
never gets credit for all that he does, " hile

setts, by his happy temperament disarms
his critics and finds his path smootbed
ahead for him. do not know how this
present rivalry of the two for a compli-

Republicans carry the next House this
personal popularity will give Long an
even chance with any other man to be the

Urged 10 Reconsider His DeterIuina-
tiOn TO Attend Mr.. Hendricks's FU-
neral.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-A consid.
cradle number of Senators, Representa-
tives and public officials, as well as many
distinguished citizens of Washington, have
called on the President to-day to urge him
to reconsider his determination to attend
the funeral of the Vice-President. Their
argument has been, not that there would
be more than the ordinary dangers in
volved in the proposed journey, but that
the emergency is such that it is his duty
to the country to avoid any possible risk
of accident to his life and health until
Congress meets and Presidential success
sion is provided for. Large numbers of
kilograms to the same effect have been
pouring upon the President to-day from
leading men in all sections OF the country,
including one from the Hon. Samuel J.
Tilden, and number from distinguished
friends of the late Vice-President at Indi-
annapolis. At a late hour this afternoon
the following was received from Mr.. Hord,
his law partner and intimate friend:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, November %, 1885.
To the President:
Mrs. Hendricks requests me to thank you fer
your message of sympathy, and also MISS Cleve-
quests me to- say that your presence at the fu-
neral of her husband would be very grateful to
her feelings, but that she fully appreciates the
weighty public reasons that exist at this time
against your coming West, and begs that you
will be governed entirely by your sense Of public
duty. OSCAR B. H0RD.
1t is understood that the President has
not yet concluded to abandon the tip
although he said to caller to-day that the
matter was being presented to him in such
a way and from such sources as might in
duce him, as question OF duty, to forego
the journey. While it is not positively
settled, it is pretty well understood thst
Secretaries Bayard, Whitney and Endi-
colt and Postmaster.GeneralN Villas will at
tend tie funeral. Attorney General Gar
land expected to be detained Dy important
business before the United States Supreme
Court, but as that tribunal has adjourned
over, and as his annual report is almost
completed, it is now thought he can also
arrange to attend. It is not at all likely,
however, that either Secretary Lamar
or Secretary Manning will be able
to leave the city. They are both
st work on their annual reports, and the
former has several important matters be
fore him which it is essential should be
| settled before the meeting of Congress.
Secretary Manning is very much behind
with his report, and will have to work On
it night and day in order to complete it in
time. A Democratic member of Congress
| is authority for the statement that every
| Justice of the Supreme Court and every
Republican Senator in Washington has ad-
vised the President not to go to Indianap-
