ST.. PAUL, Dec. 28.-A special to The
Pioneer Press from Washington says:
Speaker Crisp will start for New York
during the day, and whatever else may
be assigned as the motive for his visit
his chief reason for going Is to see
President-slect Cleveland. He has been
much disturbed of late by the stories
which have come to him Of opposition

been alarmed more than all else at the
position which friends Of Mr.. Cleveland

Wilson, of West Virginia, indicates
him as the man to lead the movement

sees the president-elect, will not only
discuss the question of an extra session
of congress, but will endeavor to find
out Just what he has to ex-
pect in the way of opposition
from the incoming administration.
Mr.. Crisp recognizes that the policy Of
Mr.. Springer, the present chairman of
the ways aud means committee, of 'sre-
forming" the tariff by specific bills has
been very unsatisfactory to Cleveland
and his friends in the house, and that
their support of Mr.. Wilson, who is q
radical tariff reformer, is based more on
Mr.. Crisp's chairman of the ways and
means committee than on personal hos
tility to the speaker himself.
willing to Depose Springer.
It is understood that Speaker Crisp is
willing to entirely reorganize that COM
mittee, placing Mr.. Wilson at the head,
and associating with him any gentle
man Mr.. Cleveland may select, so that
the framing of new tariff bin can be
accomplished in committee which Is
in thorough harmony with Mr.. Cleve-
lands views.

CANDIDATE DAVIS.

If there ever was true representative
Of the industrial and patriotic elements OF
our citizenship, Hon Thomas E. Davis, the
Republican nominee for Governor, stands
before the people of w est Virginia as such
a sentatige.-Cldrksburg Telegram.
That is not the opinion formed Of
Candidate DAVIS in this neck of the
woods, especially after reading his
record in the Legislature.
We find that he opposed with all his
ability the original electric light bill
for the benefit of this city. Here was
a case where the public asked relief
from private corporate powers and
sent a delegation of citizens to the
State Capital to labor with Candidate
DAVIS and other opponents Of the bill,
but Mr. DAVIS was obdurate and would
not yield. AT the time it was charged,
and since, has been that he was
personally interested in a private cleo
trio light plant at Grafton, and as
all those private electrical corporations
were banded against the public in
terests, they of course through their
friends and agents worked tooth and
nail against Wheellng's interests.
Again, the record of the vote Of
Candidate DAVIS on the screen and
script bill before it came to final pas
sage is another incontrovertible evil
dence that Mr.. DAVIS had no use for
the miners of this State until he be-
came candidate for Governor; then
their votes were discovered to be an OBJ
ject.
Yes, the REGISTER believes that the
records will bear out fully the opinion
that Candidate DAVIS patriotism, pub
lie spirit and love for his fellow man
extends no further than looking out
very sharply for No. l. In the Ian

the river shall no longer be regarded as

shall be boated down below Allegheny

Leading Democrats in all parts of the

the Chicago convention have actually
hooded the party.

prised that the Times should be guilty
