Of Gov. Hill.

Against Mills.
The Maryland Senator Credited With Big
Things-WIII He Disappoint Expec-
tations-Capital News. 8

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--The correspon-
dent of tho New York Times sends that
paper the following: "some OF the demo
Gratis who are watching the progress of the
canvass for the spsakership, and who are
regarding it as part of the campaign next
year for the presidency, are beginning to
suspect that there is more of an effort be-
ing made for the benefit of Hill as candi-
date than appears on the surface, although
surface indications are not lacking. Little
by little the unity of interests Of Hill and
German is becoming apparent to men who
are strongly disposed for Cleveland as the
candidate Of the party, and it would not be
surprising If it should be avowed before the
speaker is named in the caucus.
Whether it is intended or not. the cam
vass OF Mr.. Crisp has taken on strong
Hill odor in Washington during the past
week. BY accident, perhaps. but probably
not, all of the democrats with protection
leanings, with interests that make them
hold views like those cherished by the late
Mr.. Randall. are being enumerated as sup
porters of Crisp. Maryland, although
never Randall state in the later hours Of
Randall's career. has been madea Crisp
state. 1t will urge his election in opposition
to that of Mills, apparently on the ground
that the speaker to be elected must be a
man of "conservative'' views on the tariff
question. That is, presumably, man who
is for tariff reform that will not reduce.
The tendency of the protection democrats
to trim on the leading issue will become
apparent to the members as soon as they
reach here, and it will probably astonish
many who had taken it for granted that the
democratic standard was to be maintained
for tariff reform, with lively recollection
of the enthusiasm with which the country
in 1890 swept the republicans out of power
ON the tariff issue.
The fight against Mr.. Mills. who is un-
questionably the candidate toward whom q
largo majority of the members lean. ls be-
ing managed by some of the friends OF Mr..
Crisp in such a way as to disappolnt that
part OF the country that has been speaking
| for weeks very decidedly as to its prefer
snce Of candidate and issue in the presi-
Dental campaign. 4 German ia to elect the
speaker, it is underatood, and then he il tc
direct his course SO as to enable him tc
| is also to ''coaoh'' Senator Hill. and
there is a very freely expressed opinion
that he will 30 coach him as to make him g
more acceptable candidate for the presi
dency than it was ever considered possible
that he could become. This sort OF talk
will be heard by members when they reach
| Washington. German will have difficult
task on hand to perform, but he has plenty
of the sort of courage that is needed to un'
dertake such task. He might through
the blindness of his party, succeed in max
ing a speaker; but that might moan the loss
of a prize much greater in the campaign
of next year.
