BELIEF THAT IT WILL Be Mr.. BLAINE.
Political Opinion veerIng Towards
the Maine Statesman.
The Ministers and the People who
Want to Dance.
TaIIeyrand's Tribute at the Death Of
General Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-After a few weeks
wandering in the matter of the State portfol-
10, political opinion is slowly, but unde-
niably veering back to the conviction that
Mr. Blaine will be the premier of the next
administration. The Sherman talk, which
was boiling brskly week ago, has now
simmered down into an occasional bubble in
the Capital cauldron. The reason for this,
SO the friends of the Ohio Senator say, is
that Mr.. Sherman has declared himself very
recently that he did not care for a Cabinet
position, and that he thought Mr. Blaine
should and would be rendered the portfolio.
This seems decisive, and indicates, more
than any amount of Inside" statements
from Indianapolis could, the general drift of
opinion. 1t is worth noting that coineident
with this change Of feeling was the visit of
several Republican Senators to Gen. Harri-
sons home.
reports from Indianapolis also indicate
that the local politicians there, many of
whom are skeptical of Mr.. Blaine's chances,
are now finding reasons for altering their
views. Col. Holloway is one of the Indian
apolis Republicans who is confident that Mr..
Blaine will be at the head of the cabinet. L
tioD yesterday 1T is the desire of large
proportion of the members of the party.
Every prominent man who has called on
General Harrison, with the possible excep-
tion Of MIR. Quay, has expressed himself fay..
orably to Mr.. Blaine, and his friends
throughout the country are very strongly
urging that he should be placed at the head
of the cabinet. am sure that he will be the
Secretary of State"

Mr.. Reeds Resolution Recommltted
After a Four Days Contest.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-As the clerk of the
House finished the reading of the Journal
today Mr.. Reed Of Maine advanced TO his
favorite position in the aisle directly in front
Of the speaker, and fired the first gun of the
fifth days contest over the proposed change
Of rules by calling up the resolution report
ed by him from the committee on rules. This
time the shot took effect, and the previous
question was ordered on the resolution by a
vote OF 1877 yeas to 20 nays. Then Mr.. Hoi-
man, acting In pursuance Of the caucus ac-
tion last night, moved to recommit the resO-
luton, and upon that motion demanded the
previous question.
As the roll call progressed the vote prom
ised to be close, and much interest was mani
tested by the members who crowded in the
space in front OF the Speakers desk and list
ened TO the responses with intense interest.
Finally the vote resulted, yeas 120, nays III,
and the resolution was recommitted.
Mr.. Crisp of Georgia called up the contest
ed election case ofSmails VS.. Elliott, from the
Ith South Carolina congressional district
Mr.. Blanchard OF Louisiana, as the repre-
sentative Of the friends Of the river and har-
Dor bill, was up with question OF considera-
ton. In his effort to have the election case
set aside, he was seconded by Mr.. Springer
OF Illinois, who wished the Oklahoma bill to
have the precedence of consideration. The
House, 100 TO 63, determined to consider the
election case. FilibusteriDg began and con-
tinued until Mr.. Crisp, appreciating the fact
that there was no hope Of securing quorum,
moved adjournment, stating that he would
call up the election case tomorrow. Pending
the motion to adjourn, Mr.. Cox of New
York introduced for reference the memorial
Of the New York Chamber of Commerce for
the establishment Of a harbor of refuge at
Point Judith, X l., famous for marine dis
asters in its vicinity.
Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania, from the
committee on appropriations, reported the

NOT OPPOSED TO THE DANCE
Washington cIersymen Speak Of the
Inaugural Ball.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Washington's min
listers in the churches that object to dancing
as immoral, are not so severely critical Of the
inaugural ball as the ministers Of the same
denominations out of Washington. The
cleigymen of the Catholic churches who do
not find any inherent immortality in dancing
and do not discipline their parishioners for
dancing, are as conservative as their breth-
rem elsewhere. The local clergymen are bet
ter informed about the master than strangers
can be expected TO be- Neither President
Cleveland nor President elect Harrison could
prohibit the inaugural ball. 1t is In control

of the great sources Of income 1t is easy to
see that 1t would not be hastily aban-
doned.
1t talking about 1t to reporter the Rev ].
w. Phillips, Episcopalian, who is not strict
ly opposed to dancing as an amusement, can
see no harm in the ball IL conducted by re-
spectacle people. The Rev. @. FL. Richard
son Of the McKendree Methodist church
shares the objection of some OF the churches
to dancing, but regarding the inaugural
ball as reception he has no objection to
it. The Rev. George Z. Elliott Foun-
dry Methodist church, criticises the fall
as obnoxious to the discipline of the church,
but he discountenances concerted action
against it. Rev. ii. r. Nayler, Hamline
Methodist church, thinks the ball Is recep-
tion rather than ball, but he also regards
dancing as an indulgence that may be over
looked and excused If not carried to excess.
Bishop Newman does not really say whether
he considers dancing immoral or harmless,
and Bishop Hurst considers the ball super
fiuous thing that will in time be abandoned
as part Of the inaugural celebration. Rev.
Father Chapelle, of st. Matthew'S Roman
Catholic church. Rev. Father Ryan OF the
Immaculate Conception see no objections to
