vented to Be Understood.

A short, stout gentleman, completely envel-
ored in an overcoat and heavy shawl, walked
through the gate at the Broad station the other
evening and procee led to the sleeping car at
tached to the night express says the Philade
phin Press. AS he entered the car he coughed
slightly, and instantly six or seven men frowned
deeply at him.
Dropping his ip to the floor and removing
his shawl, the man dived into his pocket. and
producing his ticket, said: :
''Gentlemen, may as well have an under
standing at once. Here is a ticket that bought

Colored Voters to Be Corralled.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.).
Mr.. Clarkson's committee held a sort of an
experience meeting yesterday. Each member
was called upoa to tell how Things were going
in his section Ex- Gov Pinchback Of Louisiana
appears TO have been the star performer on
this occasion. Pinch" has lively tongue in
his black head and not having been heard fro m
for lost time. The committee should have
invited Langston, Malone, Bryant and few
others OF the same kind to keep pinch" COM
there will be no Republican party worth looking
for anywhere in the south while they continue
to occupy positions OF leadership. The colored
voters themselves have grown weary Of the
kind OF men who assume to direct and control
them, and who use them simply for che pro-
molten Of their selfish interests.

Sponsorship Estimates.

The estimates OF tine strength OF the diff
| ferent candidates for speaker. which are
being published are in eresting, but unreli-
able. The candidates them selves are not
\ furnishing figures, but their supporters are
doing so. Their figures. however. are based
upon their hopes. and not upon information
/ which is trustworthy.
It Is certain that not many members have
pledged their votes. That few have done
so there is no doubt. but they are personal
friends OF the candidates. Before giving
pied ges che members want TO see for taem-
solves what the stu alton Is, and that they
cannot do until they arrive in Washington
Very few have arrived there yet. The
great majority of them spent their Thanks
ri ling at home. There will be plenty of
them in Washington to-day, however,
and then the contest will DO begun in
earnest.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Bynum has
helped Mr. Mills. but it is not thought by
close observers that the outlook for him is
anywhere near as promising as it is for
Judge Crisp. His canvass, however. is be-
ing conducted with considerable skill His
managers are trying to make it appear
chat upon his su cess depends the success of
the party in the national contest mex year.
They say that he is the best representative
of what must be the great issue in that con-
test. and that if elected speaker he will SO
shape legislation as to make that issue the
only one.
Congressman, however, are not likely to
be misied By representations in behalf Of
any candidate. Mr.. Mills has a splendid
recoSd on the tariff, it is true, but be is not
more heartily in favor OF tariff reform than
Judge Crisp.
But speaker must have something more
than record for being in harmony with
his party on vital issues. He must be able
to control and guide the House and ward
of the attacks of the opposition. Mr.. Mills
has ability enough for any position, but he
has the misfortune TO be unable to control
himself in eimes Of excitement when cool
ness and Judgment are required, and when
| a mistake might do his party great harm.
The contest between Mr.. Mills and Judge
Crisp at present appears to be pretty close,
and there is a chance that there will be a
surprise when settlement OF the speaker
| ship question is reached.
