 Representative Cannon of Illinois is the first candidate 70 openly begin the canvass for the Speakership of the next house. He has opened headquarters at local hotel, where he will from now on extend 8 cordial welcome to all republi cans who are fortunate enough to be members-elect of the Fifty-first Con gress. Messrs. Mckinley, Reed, Butter worth, Burrows and other candidates have not yet arrived, b Ut each friends looking after hIs interests In a quiet way. The explanation of this ear- ly beginning of the Speakership campaign is that majority of geo. .le here believe that an extra session of the FIfIy-tir Congress will be called early in March.
 Representative Hovey, the Governor elect O. Indiana, arTlyed here early thIs week. In speaking of the recent eiec- ton he ssid, "Is Was a soldiers cen paign, and the soldiers vote decided the result. l have DO hesitation iE .. y- ing that ID Indiana alone 10000 denGU- cratic soldiers voted the republican tick tt. l do not believe that The tRrIf issut changed 5000 votes either way. and 6 close anLly SIS of the returns, l believe, would show that Its iufnepce was rather against us than for us, l have no doubt whatever that If IL could be found out. at lea-I as many democ. atic soldiers in New York voted for Gen. Harrison ss tue to, al republican plurahIy in that ,tste." In reply to question as to the probability of an extra session of
 ongress, Gen. Hovey said. II hope that ,he President will call an extra session of Congress immediately after the inau- gurstion for the purpose of admitting terrtories that are ready for sis.OInOCd
 General Hovey Is to Se gIsen s roue ing reception to- morrow evening by the Indifnisps et present 1T WsshiD gton, He xIll not Tesign his seat Tn the house uatil after tne fi-tt of Js nary, Ills in- suyuration 3 Governor i'll take place January 14ia.
 The news telegraphed o this city e the withdraw of l200 domoc-sts from tIe G. A. R. ID IndIana .s not believed by the msj0riiy of the members of that organizatI here, all of whom unite ID saying that po.i-Ics are never allowed m any form in the order. l any proof were needed that the order IS not run in the interests of the republican party, II may be found in the fact that Gen. A. G. Warner, the present head of the order is 2 democrat of the most pronounced type, so is NIT, Joseph Ray, editor of the G and Army Review, the ofisisl organ of the Organization.
 Frcm pre-, ,ut indications when Con- gress opens on Monday there will not be a quorum present ID either house, but they are coming in rapidly and will all be here IL few days.
 IL IS now stated positively by repub- icsn senators that tbe senate will cer- tginiy pass it's bstitute for the Mill's tariff blll s: tue coming ses=lcH sud throw upon the democratic house the responsibility of reisctiDg this measure. | do not believe the democrats will re- ;ecl 1t. on the contrary l believe a large number of them, particularly those from the tobacco growing states, will unite with the republicans 10 pushing IS through the house. Now that the Bd- minlstrBtion has no patronage with which 70 bribe members they are likely to vote for any measure winch IS for the interest of the constituents.
 A gentleman at present n this city, whose relations with President-elect Harrison are very close, was asked by 6 Southern senator wha, Gen. HsrrIson's southern policy would be, He looked bis questioner strsIRht in the eyes for 8 moment, and said, "He will not have & southern policy any more than a north ern policy, western policy or an east ern policy. He will have only an Anne rics policy, sni thst will do for the en- tire country. No man not law break er hss anything to fear ct the hands of Gen Harrison"
 A li,tie fuiter was created in tbe ranks of the inaugural committee dHy or two ago. by the recSipt of letter from Colorado stating thst s delegation Cf 800 ladies from that state proposed to mGrch in Hsrrison's Inauguration parade If th are allowed. It has no' vet been fully decidsi, but the probsbi- lities are that the iadi,s will march TT the procession if they really desire to. l. will, to be sure, be an inovslIon, bu' then We live in an age of InovstioD.
 Even the most hopeful democrat now comedies the next house to be repnbli- can by smsll majority. Senator Quay claims a majority of not less than nine.
