 Of the day, ''got onto'' their sckems of making Mir. Blaine too il. in the newspapers, to think of being can diiate next year, and denials have been the order of the day ever since, but the Blaine fellows are by no means satisfied with denials, because they have in their possession num- Der of Republican papers which printed Washington specials suppos- ing them to be gent by "Lige" HaIford's protege and there fore to be %. only true, but to he strictly in ac ;ordance
 with the sentiment of the administra- ton, or rather it's head, and they re- fuse to believe that 1t is mere coin cidence that these papers are all anti Blaine sheets. They don't think the excuse that "Lige's" protcge was out of town and that these anti Blaine specials were sent by a sub stitute is a satisfactory one. The oldest part of this comedy of errofs,'' is that tLese supcr-ssrvice- able Harrison men have offended the man they were trying to help and they have been sharply lscturcd by proxy, by Mr. Harrison, who, how ever, much as he may fear Blaine, doesn't approve of this method of dlsp osing of him. The whole affair is furnishing no end of amusement for Democrats.
 It Is now stated at the state de pertinent that the srbitrators in the Behring Sea controversy will shor ly be appointed, an agreement having been reached between the depart ment and S.r Julisn Pauncefote, the British minister. and the papers sent to Mr. Harrii on.
 A gentleman from T xas, who, al- though prominent in that state, Is SD modest that he doesn't wish his name mentioned, has, by 6 few words more or less carel ,ssly spoken, given those interested in the speakershi contt st something t. think ab ,ut. He saii: "Thers Is con sid ,rable pressure being brought 10 bear upon Governor H,gg to persuade him to call an extra session Ole of its du- ties will be to elect United States senator, aud rather think that Representative Mill, would b, elected, althougl combination of the other aspirants, among whom are the governor and MT. Chiffon, who was so promptly named by the gov ernor as successor to Senator Reagan, might resrlt in his defeat" If the legislature of Texas should meet in extra session any time before next December it is certain that some very strong Democrats influence from outside of that state would be brought to bear to get Mir. Mills elected senator, because that wouli remove him from the speakership contest, aud number of other gen. ,l,men are ready and wi ling to go into a good -natured, catch as-catch- can scramble for the votes that have been pledged to Mir. Mills for speaker, which would be released by his election to the senate.
 Representative Oates, of Alabama, who is here on business, lose, no opportunity 10 warn tLe Southern Democracy of the danger which he thinks menaces it in the Farmers
 Alliance. He said; s'rhere are certain men who have joined hands with the Alliance, simply with g desire to advance their personal in terests and pull down every man who has gained any poiltical promi- hence. Unless the Democrats of the South come to some understanding g and determine to live up 10 the principles of the Democratic party, the Alliance, in its efforts to domis nate that section may capture Ala hama, Georgia and the two Carolipas.
 It caused little surprise here to learn that Secretary Foster will be- coms candidate for the senate, in case the Republicans elect the legis- lature in Ohio this year, as it has been known for some time that the administration influence would be thrown against EOraker
