! heard here. So far Mr. IIaTrisOE has
| apparently had it all his own way in
his march toward a second nomination,
and none of his party have seen fit to
| attempt to make any organized OppOs-
itiQn to him, but squalls are ahead for
/ him. This week representative Far
quar-, of New York. has openly stated
| here his belief that Harrison could
not possibly be elected, and an Indiana
republican of prominence has said that
Harrison could not carry that State.
These are straws showing the drift of
republican sentiment.
The Blaine men can not be kept
down much longer; they hate Harrison,
and every time that Russell Harrison s
newspaper in its silly ;tttents TO make
glory for Harrison casts slur ugOn
Blaine that hatred is intensified.
Those men would rather see IA demo-
crat elected than have to stand UaT-
rison four years, and, mark the pre-
diction, in six months they vill be
shouting that sentiment from the
house tops. Mr. Blaine may be per
fectly willing that Nh. Harrison should
be reno.linated, although have seri-
GUS doubts OF it, but his friends are
not. They hope, Of course to nOmi-
nate Blaine, wheather he consents or
not, but they are determined, as will
be seen before long, that in any event
Harrison shall be the nominee, if they
can prevent it, and they think they
can. There's music ahead rs sure as
you are born, and with good manage
ment the democrats can march to Wet
ory keeping time with it.
If the opinion of leading Dlembers
of lhe party as expressed here lately
have any influence with the democrat
ic GAUGES of the House of Represent
atives the next speaker of the House
Will certainly Ae Southern man.
These gentlemen have argued that the
South is entitled either to Speaker
ship or to place on the National tick
! ct. and that it woud be better politics
to give it the Spe tkership. If a Sou
| thern man is to be Speaker it will pro-
| badly be either Representative Crisp
of Georgia; Representative Mills, of
Texas, or Representative McMillen, of
| Tennessee. Either one Of them would
suit me, therefore l can speak of their
chances without prejudice. Mr.. Mills
was largely in the lead month before
the adjournment of Congress, but it
now looks as if Mr. Crisp WIS ahead.
and were it not for the liquor dealers
organization, which,. it is stated here
! will bitterly fight him, I should select
him as the winner. A1r, McMillen has
surprised a good many people by de-
veloping more strength, than he had
been credited with; but his only hope
of winning is in the event of a prOtrac-
ted struggle between the two first
named candidates, which many shreW-
ed observers are now predicting as
certain to occur.
Government officials decline to ex-
press any opinion for publication on
the report of the New Orleans grand
jury on the Iinchiug of the Italians
but privately the universal verdict is
