arrived in Washington, and Is now ready 10 recc'0
personal pledges Of support from Democratic hePre-
senaives elect as soon may be convenient for tc
One Of Judge CrisP's friends said to-day that ,hc
Georgian candidate not in the least disturbed by
the c]aiter that Colonel Ms's friends are making IN
the Cleveland Democratic newspaper ana that ne
was not disposed to initiate their style OF warfare
Some Of his friends, however, are impatient as well as
indignant on account Of the assaults upon their can
didate and he will find it extremely dimcut IL hot III
fact impossible, to restrain them
Mr. Hatch of Missouri Is expected here daily. The
action of the Democratic Representatives from MS STATE
excites a good deal Of comment here and has tended
rather 10 depress Mis's stock One prominent Demo
crat said to-day: "The resolution of the Missouri
Democrats is extremely significant. What will 1t
profit Mills to receive all the Democratic votes from
New England and NewYork IL for every vote he gains
there he loses two three in the West and South
Missouri alone will have as many votes In the caucus
as will all of New England. think that the Eastern
Democrats will take sober second thought before they
finally decide to vote for Mr. Mills, who wants to pass
tariff bill that will make 1t necessary TO impose an
income tax thing which he has always strongly fav-
ored since he entered Congress. No. do not expect
TO see the Western and Southern Democrats-many OF
them at leastake the back track the silver Ques
ton 1t would not do the party any good TO postpone
action on that question until after the Presidential
election"
Another Democrat said "There is an element in the
House opposed to Mr.. Mills which i have not seen
figured in any of the estimates. mean the men who
owed their nomination and election to the Farmers
Alliance. ] understand that all Of these naen who
represent Southern districts will 60 into our caucus
and support Colonel Livingston. OF Georgia; but in
the House they will vote for the nominee Of the eau
Gus unless he be Colonel Mills, whom they will refuse
to vote for any terms"
The friends of Mr.. Springer share his buoyant conf
dence One Of them said to Tribune correspondent
Our candidate is In the field to win, II win ne SMALL

the best equipped paramentarian in that body. Tint

cratic Representatives from Illinois to give him
their hearty and undivided support. No candi-

Endorsement that from MS own OF any

for sneaker statesman of great ability Of ripe ex-
perience and one who possesses in a high degree me
guaites which are required in that high once'
1t will be- observed that Candidate Springer does not
lnck warm friends and enthusiastic supporters one
of them said at do not think that the esumstes n'oe
bv the candidates now of any special value, ior
believe that not onethird Of the members nave com'
mitted themselves. Each of the candidates OF course
will receive the support of his state but 1t is too
soon for him to count on much beyond that FOR ex-
ample all OF the votes from one State are claimed by
one of the leading candidates and conceded 10 MN
by one of his strongest competitors. Now, happen
to know beyond the shadow Of doubt, that that par
tjcular delegation is not committed 10 any OF the can
didaes and, moreover, that the members OF IL nave
pledged themselves to each other not to make
anv promises until all Of them shall have
arrived here and held conference In the hope that
they NAV be able to agree to vote as unit in the
caucus"
According TO "The Washington POST Of to-day, Tam

Tsmmany has pronounced for ex-Reprsentatlve ice
man, Charles H. Turner. This was decided at meet
ING of the Tarmany General Committee held In New
York City last Friday night, at which Richard Croker
presided and at which ex-Congressman McAdoo ana
nunbe< OF other prominent Democrats were present.
This decision was arrived OF in view of Mr. Turner's
Jealous and valuable services to the Democratic party
during the late campaign.
Besides the eight Democratic Congressman from New
York City, it is said that the four Democratic Congress

Long Island district, for the eloquent iceman. As
su,ences were also had by Tammany, 1t is claimed,
from all the Democratic Congressman from the interior
OF New York state that they would vote for Mr. Turner.
The latter failed TO be rcnomnated for Congress VIII

required The nomination OF Colonel John Il. Fellows.
