Some Boston democrats who are in Wash
ington say the announced candidacy for con-
gress of John l.. Suii, an may not prove a
laughing matter. Sullivan is located in what
is known as "Pat Collins . district. 1t has a
reliable democratic majority of 1000, and is
controlled by irish voters. Those who know
the district well say that If Sullivan would
only keep sober, escape from the Mississippi
penitentiary and cultivate popularity, he
might capture the nomination next year. Tho
novelty of having the champion prize fighter
of the world occupy a seat in the house would
undoubtedly give zest to the campaign and
an advantage to the champion.
THE NEW STATES.
President Harrisons proclamation admit
ting the four new states to the union is not
expected before November The republicans
confidently expect to elect the legislature in
three of the four states and believe they
have a good chance of success in the fourth,
Montana. They rely upon securing all of
the five members of the lowet house of con-
gress. This will give the republicans u ma
iority in the house of at least six under the
very worst circumstances, while 1t may be
increased to eight or nine, not considering
the result of contested elections
The democratic employees in the house are
relying upon deadlock in the organization
which will carry them over to late day in
January, aud If it was not
for the augmentation of the
republican majority by the admission of the
new states they believe they would continue
to hold their places until next spring, while
many of them, on account of the closeness
.>Ftl !, hi, nin nit thn
bility of compromises in the organization of
the house, would fight to keep continuous
hold on their places The candidates for the
leading positions under the new organization
are Edward Mcpherson and John M. Car.
son, of Pennsylvania, clerk, and Charles H.
Adams, editor of the Hagerstown (Md.)
News, and Captain Wheat, of Racine. Wis,
for doorkeeper. 1t is said that Ohio will
produce a candidate for sergeant-at-arms if
Major Mckinley is not elected speaker.
Captain Thomas H. Mckee, of Indiana, Is
candidate for postmaster of the house.
MEN WORSHIP THE RISING sun.
The following paragraph in to-day'S Her.
aid of this city, which was very aruent ad-
vocate Of Mr.. Cleveand's administration, is
regarded by his friends as quite as severe as
true:
at is remarkable how soon a family loses
what might be called its marketable value
after it falls from power. Publishers no
longer make handsome offers to Rose Eliza
importunng Mrs. Cleveland for sittings and
ex-president Cleveland is not considered a
valuable card by summer hotel proprietors.
There is more money to the speculator in
Baby Mckee than in the entire Cleveland
family"
Among the recommendations which the
secretary Of war intends to make to congress
through the president during the coming
winter is one looking towards the enlarge

and Robinson. Army men say that the
principal forts in Nebraska are to receive
considerable appropriations for the purpose
not only of making better buildings at the
grounds but to supply equipments of modern
pattern and provisions for the comfort of
larger posts. 1t is believed that Lieutenant
w. W. Witherspoon, of the Twelfth in.
fantry, will be selected as secretary and
treasurer of the Army Mutual Aid associa-
tion.
