HOY. ROSWELL P. FLowER. OF NEW YORK
l am not q candidate for the speaker
ship, and have never thought of being
speaker. I don't even know who the pres
ent candidates are. and my idea is 10 let
them develop their strength. see vs. hat they
can do during the coming summer. and
next fall we will eject the strongest and
best man. / don't know that New York
will have a candidate, but it always has its
opinion as TO nominations, and generally
expresses them / ann not az all afraid of
the next congress being a crazy one, and
can tell you how We can prevent any fool
lsh speeches being made upon the floor.
We viii hold caucuses about twice week
and get the different men TO ventiiate their
ideas In the caucus. Such Of them as are
good We viii take advantage Of and the bad
yfpf T.
this way we can size up our men and can
keep the party together / tried this plan
IN series OF dinners gave in lss2 when I
was one OF the board of control OF the exc
cutiye committee. / dined all of our party
IN congress and got them TO express their
opinions az the table. From their speeches
l was able 10 outline plan which aided US
materially during the campaign. and the
same would be the effect of the caucuses

The copyright bill is bound to pass soon

10 have the book published in that coun-
try before anywhere else, and has TO be

them ISSUED few hours there before they

and stands on the Niagara bridge when
they are issued from the press. The Gem
fury Magazine is doing well We are glad
10 see new magazines started for they fos-
Ter taste for reading and thereby help u.s.
We have circulation of about L. 60 in
England, but We do not cater 10 the Eng

COLONEL W. W. DUDLEY
1t seems TO me that the Republican
party needs regeneration There are too
many diverse elements pulling in different
ways, and the Democrats are solidIy
against the whole. The defeat of the cleo
ton bill was a serious mistake, and it will
have bad effect upon the country. What
we need more than anything else is honest
elections and the assurance that every
mans ballot will be counted. As to can
didates, 1 do not think that President
Harrison will be renominated, and l do
not think that he viii desire renomina-
ton. There are numbers OF good men.
and among the possibilities would men
ton Speaker Reed. Mr.. Mckinley, senator
Allison, General Alger. and last. and by
no means least, General Clarkson. Clark
would bring all the young blood of the
party to the surface and would be elected
If II is possible for Us to elect anyone
Senator Sherman is also possibility. and
There are others who have chance at the
nomination. As to the Democratic candi-
date. it may be Clevelands but would not
be surprised that when the convention

Kellogg, over the story of which the sena-
tor laughed heartily. Ii was water-color
sketch of little negro boy and girl play
ing checkers and took it from life Ny
first models were two little negro BOYS,
Sambo and Jim, and both were as bright
little ragamuffins as you viii find in Wash
ington- At the third sitting Sambo did
not appear, and when I asked Jim what
was the matter, he said, with grin on his
face: "Oh, Sambo he ain comm today
..No?n said I. No" said the little dar-
key as he laughed again and sucked his
thumb. I'm Sambo isaint comm tonor-

am not candidate for the speaker
ship, and Judge Bynum will probably be
the only man presented from Indiana
The watch-cry of the next campaign VIII
be economy in government expenditure,
and this will he bigger issue than the
tariff. / predict that the next congress
will be the most conservative and credit
able We have had for q dozen years. 1t
will surpass the Forty-four5h congress, the
first session of which reduced the appro-
piaIions SO an.O 90. and resulted in the
election OF Tiiden and Hendricks. l was
a member of that congress. and Al its sec
ond session we cut down Uncle Sans ex-
penses 81, 600, 600, and or appropriations
at that time were only . little over $780,
tsoou. This year we expect 70 spend
ing. II is astounding and terrible, and
the people won't stand II.
CHENEY, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The chief Issue of the next campaign
viii be the tariff, and the Republican cam
didafes viii be elected. Who they viii be,
! don't care 10 prcphesy. IL seems 10 me
that President Harrison is very strong to
day. and he has made no mistakes. As 20
the Democratic nomination, Cleveland
will probably head the ticket. and il seems
70 me that the election of Hill as senator
from New York was the result Of bar
gain by which Cleveland was 10 get the
presidential nomination. | hear German

a good manager. | suppose the Democrats
