as each men bent forward with his
hands on his knees and gazed hard at his
opposite, the noise suddenly stopped.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Democratic Candidates Getting
Really for the Caucus Contest.
MMILLAN WILL NOT WITHDRAW.

He Says There Is No Foundation
for the Statement That He In
tended to Drop Ont of the Race.
MFR. Bland May Introduce a Rcso-
luton on the Silver Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The Demo-
cratic candidates for the speakership of
the house were busy yesterday holding
conferences with their friends and get
ting ready for the caucus contest. Mr..
Mills and his friends are in pleasant
mood over Mr.. Carlisle's letter vouching
for Mr.. Mills moderation of Temperament,
while the other candidates are not dis
posed to attach much importance to it,
at least, as to the influence upon their
own strength. Very few members have
as yet reached the city and those who
are here are chiefly those who are the
earnest advocates OF one or the other of
the candidates. The doubtful men do
not seem in any hurry to appear on the
scene, and until some of them come
there cannot be any material change in
the situation.
Mcmillan VIII Not Withdraw.
Mr.. Mcmillan said that there was alb
solutely no foundation for the state
ment that he intended to withdraw. He
said he might get whipped, though he
did not expect to, but that he would
never run away, and that there was GER
tainly nothing in the situation to make
him approach the fight timidly. His
friends speak with the greatest conf
denee.
Each of the candidates receive many
callers, the supporters of one candidate
calling on his rivals and there is an evil
dent purpose to make the contest as
amlable as possible.
The time for holding the caucus has
not yet been fixed. If may be held late
this afternoon or be delayed until to-
morrow.
Mr.. Bland's Resolution.
A report is out that as soon as the
caucus is called Mr.. Bland will, before
the nominations are made for speaker,
introduce IA resolution, and demand a
vote on it, making u declaration of prin-
clples on the silver question.
There have been some efforts made
to drag in the question of presidential
preferences, but it is asserted that no
man who has an ambition to be presi-
dent wants his strength to be tested in
this uncertan manner.

"Messrs. Ivey and Harrell are not DEM

with B. M. Gardner, negro, for the legis-
lature against the regular nominees of the
democratic party in Suwannee county and
was elected, thus defeating two of our best
citizens. In 1882 he ran with Israel L.
Simmons, another negro, against the regu-

ate, but was defeated by an overwhelming
majority. In 1890 he ran against the reg
ular democratic nominee as the candidate
endorsed by negro convention, but was
again defeated.
GAS to Mr.. Harrell, the other contestant;
he was candidate before the democratic
convention and pledged himself not to
run on any other ticket in the public
prints over his own signature. On his
defeat before the democratic convention
he accepted a nomination from the negro
convention and made the campaign on
that ticket.
Mr.. G. Potsdamer, sheriff of Suwannee
county, said, 81 have always regarded
Mr.. Ivey as republican. When ran as
independent, refused to put his name
on my ticket because he was republic
can and had always affiliated with that
party. l have always regarded him as
neither democrat nor independent, but
always as a republican, because he was
always on ticket with negro till this
last time'
