SPEAkEsS CRISP.

The nomination of CHARLES F.
CRISP, of Georgia. for the Office of
speaker of the house of representatives
of the Fifty-second congress, is the re-
suit of yesterdays Democratic caucus
at Washington. 1t breaks a deadlock,
not OF long duration, but of sufficient
intensity TO show the loyalty of the per-
sonal following possessed by each candi-
date at the outset. With the exception
of three recalcitrant congressman from
the state represented by Mr.. SPRINGER,
the two days voting can be considered
quite complimentary to the home popu-
larity of the five 'favorite sons repre-
sented in the energetic contest. Aside
from this no political significance can
be attached to the result. The action
OF Mr.. SPRINGER, a veteran leader in
war against tariff taxation, in casting
the decisive vote for Mr.. CRISP proves
this. The emlnently appropriate speech
of acceptance by Mr.. CRISP, in which
he promises to take no backward step
in tariff reform. emphasizes the fact.
Thus, it Will be seen. all the expected
attacks Of the Republican press upon
the action of the Democratic caucus
have been anticipated and discounted
i'll advance. The CORY locks of absolute
free trade which might have been
shaken at ROGER Q. MILLS can awaken
no responsive thrill in the mind of so
cool and clear-headed man as CHARLES
F. CRISP. A candid review of the stu
alton reveals no broken ranks i'll the
Democratic party. No breaches have
been effected in the redoubts of tariff
reform. The fundamental principles of
pure Democracy are as tangible As ever,
and the important work awaiting the
Fifty-SecOnd congress is under the SUI
perviSiOn of a splendid parliamentarian,
patriotic gentleman and an acknowl-
edged leader in the Democratic party.
1t is admitted that the name of
GROVER CLEVELAND has been dragged
somewhat prominently into the contest
just closed. But it will be found, on re-
Election, that the Republican press is
mainly responsible for such condition.
All efforts to align supposed HILL and
CLEVELAND influences as antagonists in
the struggle are due to meddlesome Jour
mails published and edited by our friends,
the enemy. In this connection it is fOrtu-
nate that Mr.. CLEVELAND himself has
adroitly fOreStalled such attacks by a
direct denial, made over a week ago,
that his personal interests were in any
way involved in the speakership con-
test. Presidential issues were in no
manner involved. and the making of
Democratic president remains for the
long months between now and the cool
of next November. The Democratic
party presents united front, and can
congratulate itself upon wise selection
for sneaker of the nresent cnnrreSS

the bureau under civil service rules; but
it opened UP large field for hungry
partisans, and the president GOULD not
be persuaded to place his civil service
pledges before party needs. There were
opportunities reaching into every ham,
let lin the land for partisan advantage, and
the president proved to be devoted to his
party first. He had the direction of the
civil service rules, and is primarily re-
sponsible for the outcome. The bureau
was made partisan institution,
and the league gathered definite
evidence that there was refusal to
recognize the civil service rules in APP
pointments. Not only were incpmpe-
tent men often given res ponsible places,
but the charge is werranted that party
considerations dictated the work in
numbers of instances. Such presenta-
ton as this, in regard to a service that
should be conducted OH strict business
principles, would not be likely to make
the report a favorlte with admiDistra-
ton supporters. Still, it is not likely to
be forgotten when the president is franz
ing new pledges as a candidate.

ATTACKED THE POLICE.
Ruffians Resist Arrest and a
Lively Fight Follows.

A mob of toughs and ruffians made
things very lively last evening i'll the
vicinity of the market house, and a seri-
Gus fight between number OF police
and the members of the gang caused
great excitement little before
o'clock. James Mulveney, while COM
ing out of saloon on Wabasha street,
near the market house. was set upon by
four ruffians and badly beaten. Officer
Enright caught sight of the ARRAY
from the other side of the street,
and rushed across to put the
men under arrest. He was not i'm uni
form and the crowd set upon him. At
the same time Police Officer Davis came
up and caught hold OF the most desper-
ate of the gang. A rough and tumble
struggle enSued. the officers being
threatened by the corner loafers ~9h0
followed them. At the corner Of Sew
enth and Wabasha the man whom Of
ficer Davis had under arrest suddenly
renewed his struggles, and threw the
car track. seriously injuring his
knee by striking it on the sharp rail.
He, however. held OH to mis- prisoner.
but was unable to use his club. which
was i'll the pocket of his Oyercoat. The
crowd at this point threw a number of
bottles and stones at the officers, and a
cry was raised of kill the cops"
A citizen at this point, seeing the
state of affairs, drew his revolver and
threatened to shoot the first member of
the gang who approached the officers.
His action Overawed the mob, and they
fell back. Sergeant Pottgleser, coming
up, took hand, and the men were con-
Veyed to police headquarters. A crowd
of spectators filed the charge room. and
in the excitement which followed the
ruffian who had fought so desperately
suddenly slipped out of the
door and got away. His COM
panion gave his name as Fred
Mccarthy, laborer, and protested he
was perfectly innocent. Mr.. Mulvaney,
whose face was covered in blood, also
came to the station, and said he had
been into the saloon with friend 10

theater, when he was set upon without
any prov0cation.
The police last evening were on the
lookout for the prisoner who escaped,

saulting all officer.

PLATFORMS Do NOT COUNT

Republican platforms seem TO be SUBJ
ject to the discretion of the men put in
Office by virtue of them. Civil service re-
form is ignored by the president when
his partisan or personal interest die
tates. The last national convention re-
solved that 1--WE demand the reduction
OF letter postage to one cent per ounce"
In his late report Postmaster General
WANAMAKER remembers, as on other
occasions, that this was the voice of the
party accepted by the people. but he
would have the reduction postponed in
definitely. He has other schemes that
must take precedence. The adoption
of these under the conditions he
preScribeS will push One-cent post
age far in the future. He says
it will cause deficit in the
department revenues of s21 100000.
That is probably an exaggerated state
ment, as i'll other instances postal re-
ductiOns have multiplied the business SO
as to make the shortage far less than
anticipated. He would wait till the de-
partment is Self-sustaining and add
other facilities that will make it still
less so. Never since the postal service
amounted to much has it been self-sus-
tanning. 1t is branch of the public
service that benefits all the people, and
it is not of great consequence whether
it sustains itself or not. But it is not
insisted that the reduction to one cent
is demanded by the needs of the
people or warranted by the con-
dition of the service. The de-
mand came from the Republi-
can party, and the administration is
supposed to be acting under the chart
laid down by the party in it's last con-
ventiOn. When the Democrats directed
the administrative policy there was
general demand 10y the Republican or
gans for One-cent postage. They con-
WINGED the platform makers that they
were so much in earnest that they made
it the expression OF the party The
matter is of interest as affording an
illustration of the value of the promises
and demands of the Republican plat
forms.
