ITEMS OF LOCAL POLITICAL INTEREST

| Frank Case, chief lieutenant for Con-
| gressman Dalzell, was OF the Union depot
last evening to have a final interview with
| the little lawmaker before he started for
| Washington to be present at the opening Of
Congress Mr.. Dalzell was scheduled to
leave from the station, but instead the fast
line stopped at Hawkins for him, so MI.
Case didn't have the chat he expected.
SIS, Daizell still candidate for the
United States Senate?" was asked.
"What," replied Mr.. Case, with some
show of establishment and repeating the
question, sis he still candidate? Why he
was never out of the race, and will be in it
to the end. And by the way, Senator Quay
will not have the easy walkover that
he anticipates. Several months ago I
visited many of the legislative
candidates from the northwestern counties,
and was favorably received and promised
their support for Dalzell. 1 haven't seen
them since the election, but it is needless
to say that most of them were elected. 1
have made all my arrangements to start out
on an active canvass for Dalzell in few
days. In q short time the Allegheny county
delegation will indorse the Congressman,
and this will be the basis of my work. I
don't like to give away secrets, but have a
little patience and you will see where Mr..
Dalzell stands"
The Dalzell Bureau Still Active.
The DalzelI bureau that was organized
last spring to boom the Congressman and
later was abandoned is not dead, and its
members individually are at work trying to
secure pledges from rural members. The
Philadelphis delegation is lost, of course,
but the plan is to unite the country and the
smaller towns against the Eastern metropolis
1t is understood that the Dalzell people are
trying to prevent the reelection of Senator
Quay if they find that their candidate can't
win out Congressman Jack Robinson,
with his little boom, hasn't been heard
from for some time. but it is safe to say
when the vote is taken at Harris
burg he will be on hand urging
his friends in the Legislature to
stand by Quay. Farmer Taggart, of
Montgomery county, may be a candidate.
If he is, it is argued that he will hurt Dal-
zell more than the Beaver Statesman. John
Cessna is putting in some good licks for the
local Congressman in Central Pennsylvania
1t has been war to the knife with him for
some years so far as Senator Quay is con-
cerned, and if the old man could lick
Matthew Stanley for the Senate he would be
content to die in peace. But the chances
are strongly against him.
Congressman Flocizing to Washington.
The reopening of Congress on Monday is
fot he 1horo fn nvko
now at lively rate. Some of them have
been at the capital for month arranging
their homes and work for the winter, but
the bulk of them will tumble into the town
like lot of sheep between this time and
Sunday evening. Colonel W. A. Stone
sent his family last evening, and will follow
tonight. The Western delegations are
scheduled to pass through Pittsburg to-
day.
Last evening Congressman Shiuely, of
Indiana, a son-in-law of George A. jerks;
Hurd, of St. Louis, and L. 7. Ohliger, of
Wooster, the successor to Warwick. were
among the Washin gton passengers. The
trio are Democrats Young Shively is one
of the ablest OF his party in the House, but
after serving four terms he declined re-
nomination, and turned his seat over to an
other South Bend citizen. His example is
rare and worthy of emulation in the field of
national politics.
81 have been through the mill" he said,
sand have had enough. One experience in |
trying to distribute Federal patronage sat- |
listed me, and 1 am content to give the |
glory to another. I was a Crisp man, and |
think the country and the members are |
well pleased with him. I expect to see him |
reelected Speaker without opposition from |
C-I
gossip, and take but little stock in what |
hear. These people who think they know |
Mr.. Cleveland's mind don't know it all |
The Indiana Democrats feel that they ought |
to be represented, and 1 believe that ex-
Governor Gray will be rendered port
folio.
Shively Favors an Extra Session.
GAS for the extra session, will advocate
the calling of short term for the appoint
ment of the more important committees,
the Ways and Means and |
financial committees 1 think the Ways
and Means Committee should sit during |
the summer, and after learning what the
people want frame iensible and fair tariff |
bill to be presented early next December.
In this way NO time would be lost, and
there would be no hasty action. This is
the danger to be avoided"
Congressman Hurd, of Missouri, is one of |
the rabid Southern Democrats. He was re-
elected for the fifth time, and is beginning
to think that he owns his district. He is
red-hot for an extra session to wipe off the
statute books "the robber tariff law" as he
calls it. He is rather talkative citizen,
and claims the result of the election
calls for radical measures Northern
Democrats are very much afraid that
the fiery Southern members will throw
away the fruits of the big victory by insist
ing on Texan free trade, and they are look
ing to Cleveland to hold them in line. Mr..
Hurd won't sleep easy until the country is
given free raw materials at least
