C0OCH AND LAYTON.
The Pencader Mans Friends
Claim the House Caucus.
HOUSTON AND HARDcAsTLE TO WIN

Friends of Cooch Claim sixteen Votes
for the Coooh Layton slate on the
First Ballot Friends Of Houston and
Hardcastle sanguine of Victory.
The mists which have been surround.
ing the legislative organization are be.
ginning to clear away. It may be pre-.
dicted that the Democratic caucus nomi-
nees will be as follows:
Speaker Of the Senate-Charles M.
Houston, OF Sussex county.
Clerk Of the Senate w A. G. Hard.
castle, Of Kent county
Speaker Of the William Coooh.
Of New Castle county
Clerk Of the House--John r. Layton.
of Sussex county.
Kent county will get both pages and.
IN all probability one Of the sergeants-
alarms.
1t is stated upon good authority Ia. day
that matters have been adjusted in such
shape in Sussex county that Mr. Houston
will be elected on the first ballot and will
carry the full delegation from that county
aud one If not two votes outside. Mr..
Hardcastle will carry the Kent county
delegation and enough outside TO ensure
his election on the first ballot
Mr.. Cooch has never been In the fight
for the highast honors in the gift of the
House. but his friends have been making
hay. They claim that he will 90
into the caucus with four votes from
New Castle, seven from Sussex aud from
five to six in Kent. This will give him
at least fifteen of the twenty one votes
in the caucus
Just how this estimate will strike the
Whiteman men is not known. The
friends of Mr. Whiteman have been
claiming four voters in New Castle
couaty and control OF the delegration.
This claim, the Cooch men say, is un.
founded.
II the Sussex county men deliver the
speakership to New Castle, the New Gas.
tic men will throw the clerkship into

That is the way the matter stands al
at present, and it is not encouraging to

MAY STAND BY SMITH.
Lane Seminary Trustees Favor
Sustaining the Professor.
THE GERMS OF A SECULAR SUIT,

The Lane Seminary Controversy MAY
Possibly CuIminate in the Civil Courts.
Liberalism and Conservatism to Battle
for the Possession of the Presbyterian
University.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 30.-The Lane Semi
nary trouble is approaching crisis. 1t
is not impossible that resort will soon be
had to the civil courts for settlement
of the difficulty growing out of the Smith
case. There is no doubt that a large
number of the trustees are favorably dis
posed toward Professor Smith.
The executive committee is almost a
unit in his favor. On the other hand
fifteen of the trustees have not expressed
themselves in regard to the matter and
It is on their support that the conserva-
tive opposition to the professor depends
for majority.
There is possibility that the Board of
Trustees will, at their January meeting,
boldly decide to espouse the standard of
higher criticism and to retain Professor
Smith in his present position.
Such defiance of the judgment of the
Presbytery will doubtless result in an
ultimate appeal to the civil courts by the
opposition. 1t is claimed that the char
ter of the institution under which the
endowment was secured provides that no
one shall serve as professor in the semi
nary who is not a member of the Presby-
terian Church in good standing
Professor Smith has lost his good
standing through his suspension and the
allegation is that should he be retained
in the professors chair, the heirs of the
people who endowed the institution
would then be at liberty to enter the
courts and recover the money.
The conservative Presbyterians, it is
said, furnished most of the endowment
and their natural policy will be to re-
cover the cash if liberalism is to predomi-
nate This is the latest news regarding
the difficulty and forecasts an imp ending
storm.
