There are now in the field three open candidates for speaker of the house of rep resentativea, of the fifty first congress, Mckinley of Ohio, Cannon of Illinois, and Reed of Maine. It is only within day or two that MT. Reed and MT. Mckinley have acknowledged themselves candidates. Now they are willing to admit that they are Gin 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 Mr. Reed is handicapped by the fact that he comes from the east. It was well enough, they say, to give him complimentary caucus nomination when the republicans were in the minority, but they do not think the re- publican party can give the speakership to Maine under the existing political con ditions. The contest between these can- didates promises to be lively one, and there are several dark horses in the field ready to gain and make the race if the leaders arc crowded of the track.
