Tilden'f state papers and should be given place by the bravest of Mir. Clevelands utter ances. It displays something Of the audacity of leadership, and this quality will serve to. make it more carefully pon- derrd by the people. They will find that the first third of the measure embodies food for serious thought, and we are far enough from passions of heated campaign to face the facts with sober and candid attention. Tariff legislation must continue to be series of compromises, but the claims of the plain people will have to be recognized and enforced until a wholesome revision ia achieved

Three Candidates for speaker of she
 House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-There are now in the field three open candidates for Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Fifty first Congress-McKinleY of Ohio, Cannon of Illinois and Reed of Maine. It is only within a day or two that MT. Reed and Mir. Mckinley have acknowledged themselves candidates. Now they are willing to admit that they are 'tin the hands of their friends" which is equivalent to an admission that they will make the fight. The friends of the other candidates say that MT. Reed is handicapped by the fact that he comes from the East. It was we'll enough, they say, to give him a complimentary caucus nomination when the Republicans were in the minority, but they do not think the Republican party can give the Speakership to Maine under present con- ditions. The contest between these candi- dates promises to be lively one and there are several dark horses in the field ready to gain and make the race if the leaders are crowded off the track

! Senators' Views Tersely Put-The Farmers Will Not Coincide With she Presidensss Opinions. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-A representative of 1 the Associated Press today endeavored to I obtain from prominent members of the Sem ate an expression of their views upon the Presidents message. The first to speak was Mir. Hoar, who said: ''About all can say is that it embodies the utterances of q disap- pointed politician"
 Mir. Sherman-The latter part of the mes- sage consists of review of the work of the different branches of the government. There is nothing striking about it. The first part did not hear.
 MT. Cullom-Of necessity he dies game on his tariff views and in his reference to inter- nal affairs runs into great scold. Mr. Frye-The only part of the communi- cation which interested me was that refer ring to the fisheries question. am now try ing to solve the problem therein, namely, the President states that there has been nothing of moment occurring on that subject since March last. Why does he then so severely criticise us for not passing retaliatory mea- uresi
 Mr. Manderson-I was not particularly struck with what heard of the message. l can say, however, that if MT. Cleveland will visit the northwest when he has more leisure he will find that our farmers do not endorse his utterances on the tariff questions. Mir. Cockrell-I caunot say much about the message until have read it over. Gen erally speaking, it impressed me very favor ably.
 MT. Rsnsom-I think it was like all of MT. Cleveland's public communications have been-a very able and concisely framed in- strument.
 Mir. Teller think that the first part of
 the message is full of spleen. There was no silver lining to the cloud which overhung MT. Cleveland when he wrote it. do not believe the country is in so deplorable a condition as he would have us believe. Ae | to the administration of the different depart
 ments. I want to say, in answer to the Presi~ dent, that the postofice department was never in a worse condition than it is to-day.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The reading of the message in the Senate occupied an hour and | twenty minutes. The portions of it which | discuss the questions of tariff revision, treas | ury surplus, fishery troubles and the West l incident, were listened to with very close attention and apparent interest by fourteen Republican senators and about an equal number of Democrats. The other portions of the message seemed to have but few at tentive listeners and their reading had the effect of gradually clearing the galleries of the numerous spectators. When the read
 ng was finished the message was on motion of Mr. Hoar laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
 The Senate then at 2:55 adjourned until tomorrow after 6 notification by MT. Frye that he would call up the Union Pacific set- clement bill tomorrow; by MT. Chandler that he would ask for action on his resolu- tion to investigate the Louisiana election of April last, and by MT. Allison that he would ask the Senate to proceed with the Tariff bill and would even Gf the discussion became too protracted) call 1t up during the morning hours of the session.
 MIRTH IN THE HOUSE.
 The Presidents reference to the Saekville- West incident provoked laugh from the Republican side of the House, but no counter demonstration was made by the Democrats. From this point the interest in the message slackened.
 Mir. Mills of Texas was the only member who paid the slightest attention to the further reading and the noise of conversation was so great that this was easy task. When at 3:15 the reading was completed MT Mills of fered resolution, which was agreed to, re- ferring the message to the committee of the whole and providing for its printing. The House then adjourned.
