Found in the Debris of a Fire.

While the debris of Saturday night.
fire at 1s9 West Randolph street was be-
ing removed yesterday afternoon, the
body of w. r. Myles was found lying be-
hind the door of the room he had occu-
pied. His feet and legs were burned, but
other parts of the body were not disfig-
ured. 1t is thought that when he tried to
escape from the burning building he was
overcome by the smoke and fell insensible
behind the door The position of the
body was such that hurried search of
the premises by the firemen revealed no
fatality.

Crisp. the Protection Candidate.

1t may be just an accident, but it is in
terestlng that the Cincinnati Enquirer. the
Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, all Randall and protection papers,
one of which is for Blaine for president,
are supporting Crisp, whose motto quoted
to-day is tariff reform and an economical
government Should these papers elect
Crisp they may be expected to claim his
election as a protection victory brought
about by the help of David B. Hill, whose
Crisp sympathies are well known. 1t
begins to look as if Crisp were the candi-
date of a faction that will recognize the
Randall Democracy under the leadership of
d. B. Hill.
Mr.. Hill, it is understood will be coached
in tie senate by German, who is to see that
he gets proper appointments on the COM
mittees of that body. There will be sew
eral very important committee places va
can't when congress meets. A proportion
of these places will be assigned to the Dem
ocratic minority, and the Democratic eau
Gus committee will assign the senators to
the vacancies according to its discretion.
1t is not usual for new senator to he as
signed to an important committee.
A great deal of interest is taken in the
assignment of Governor Hill. According
to usages he could not expect to secure
recognition for prominence in the party
The senators are very jealous oftheir rights
and are not disposed to recognize any claim
based on prominence won outside of that
body. To place the governor in position
such as is usually assigned to the new SEN
atorS would put him at a disadvantage and
greatly diminish his chances to maintain
his reputation as a statesman. 1t is prob
able that majority of the Democrats in the
senate may exert themselves to give Gov
ernor Hill prominence.

SOUTHERN STATES,

These figures show that, with the eight
Alliance votes which will surely go with
them, the Southern Democrats will have
III votes and the Northern Democrats lis.
This is the first time in the history of the
party that the Democrats of the North have
had amajority of the votes in Democratic
caucus of the house of representatives.
But neither the Democrats from the
North nor those from the South are all
agreed with each other as to the proper
policies to pursue in the incoming congress.
The Democrats from New England, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are
opposed to the free coinage of silver. These
will be reinforced by few other Demo-
Gratis from Ohio, other Northwestern states
and the South. Some of this wing of the
party will even insist that the present law,
providing for the purchase of $500, 900
ounces of silver per month, shall be re-
pealed.
On the other hand. almost every Demo-
crat from the South and West is pledged in
favor of a free coinage law. 1t is doubtful
if, with the Republicans uniting with the
Eastern and Middle state Democrats, a free
coinage law can be passed.
This question of free coinage will be a
factor OF greater Importance in the selec-
ton of the candidate for speaker The free
coinage men are determined that no one
shall be nominated who will not agree to
make coinrge committee that will report a
free silver bill, whilst on the other hand
the Democratic opponents of free coinage
will endeavor to secure the nomination of
some one who will not appoint such COM
mittee. AS, however, there are not probably
more than eighty-fve out of 235 Democrats
VINO are opposed to free silver, it may be
taken as an assured fact that free coinrge
speaker will be elected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-On Monday next
the Republican national committee will
meet at the Arlington hotel in this city, TO
name the time and place for holding the
next national convention, and to issue the
necessary call. Minneapolis, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, New York, San Francisco and
Detroit are represented, each with attract
i've arguments and favorite orators. Chi
cago will also send committee, but it is
not expected to urge the selection of that
city very persistently.
Washington has taken no steps to secure
the convention. The Harrison men object
to PittSburg as Blaine town. They may
object to Minneapolis and Omaha on the
same grounds. San Francisco would also
be thrown out of consideration if the Blaine
towns are to be excluded, and Cincinnati is
seeking the convention in the interest of
Blaine and Foraker. The president is re-
ported as having decided not to expires any
preference in the matter. He leaves it all
to Mr.. Clarkson. who is not for Blaine I'M
less he is nominated.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-The contest for
speaker in Washington city grows very
warm though there are yet but few mem
DerS of congress in the city. While
the members are not there the candidates
or their friends are there and they are max
ing, some Of them, the widest kind of
claims as to the number of votes their re-
spective friends will receive. Mr.. Mills is
clearly the candidate of the Cleveland men
and the men who want no legislation on
silver and none upon any other subject eX-
cept the tariff. They want Mills for speaker
now and Cleveland for president in 1892,
and probably William r. Morrison on the
ticket with him to try and secure Illinois.
OF the 235 Democrats who will go into the
caucus III are from the South and lis from
the North, of which lis IA come from New
England, % from New York, from New
Jersey and 10 from Pennsylvania, making
so, all Of whom are opposed to free coin
age law. There are Democrats from other
states, probably altogether enough to make
about so, who are opposed to a free coinage
law. OF the SO Eastern Democrats quite a
number demand the repeal of the present
law, but there are not enough to make any
impression in the caucus. There are at
least 125 of the Democratic members who
will go into the caucus who are determined
to force, if possible. free coinage law
through the house because they want to
make the silver question one of the ques-
lions in the next campaign.
1t is true that there are not so many of
those now as there were before the late
elections, the storm in Ohio having weak
ened them somewhat on the free-sil ger idea
but large majority of the caucus will IA
vor free silver. Taking this fact into con-
sideration. it would seem that neither Mr..
Mills nor MIR. Crisp, both of whom are
working vigorously for the Eastern and
Middle states votes, are pursuing very
wise policy. 1t is pretty evident to the man
who stands of and looks over the entire
question from philosophical standpoint
that the solid vote from the Eastern and
Middle states to any one or any two men
would indicate to the Southern and West
ern mem bers that this man or those men
were not entirely sound upon the silver
question. 1t would certainly weaken them
in the South and West.
Mr.. Springer in his contest has antag-
onized no one. Like on other occasions,
when he has been candidate, he claims
everything in sight He is exceedingly
popular as a man but not as candidate for
speaker. The other gentlemen mentioned
in connection with the Office are keeping
discreetly silent. Springer has announced
himself in favor Of a removal Of the duty on
Dol and lumber and salt, and is of course
weakened by such an expression. Until
the members arrive in Washington no one

thought the affair was ended, but the young

other license was procured, but
the fact was not published in the paper.
