trouble In the Democratic party in Boston ere long
on the Mayoralty question. Owen a. Calvin, who
was United states DstnctAttorney under the Cleve.
land Administration. announces that he will be Q
candidate this year for the Mayoraty. Three years
ago Mr.. Calvin raj for Mayor against Mayor Hart
and was beaten. Two years ago the Democrats.
realizing that Irlshman could be elected that year
owing to the prominence Of the school question. In.
duced Mr.. Calvin to step aside and let Mr.. Matthews
enter the field. Matthews elected and he
desired a second term Calvin made no opposition last
year. But now, having waited long his patience
will permit, Calvin says he will so before the munich
pal convention aud compete for the nomination against
all corners. 1t Is believed that Matthews will desire
another term. II he has not already become
popular with the shorhaired Democracy he will give
Mr.. Calvin strong pull for the place. II Calvin
runs. II Is minated that eX-MayOr Hart be In.
duccd by the Republicans to give up the Postmaster

Leaders-Wants the Tariff Reformed.

Washington, December 16.-(Special)-
Mr.. Cleveland wants to call an extra SEES
sion of congress Immediately after the attn
of March, but has not yet definitely de-
cided upon it.
A prominent member Of the house was
in New York this morning and talked the
matter over with Mr.. Cleveland. The
president-elect stated that he was desir-
GUS of calling an extra session
Immediately after tho 4th OF
March for the purpose of organizing
the house in order that the ways ana
means committee could begin work pre-
pairing Il tariff bill. He, however, does
not want the extra session to continue
longer than four weeks at the outside
If he knew that the house would organ
ize and then both branches would pass an
adjournment resolution, he would call an
extra session; but he is afraid that con-
Gress would not adjourn if once called
together and naturally he realizes that
il is not to the best interests OF the DEM
Ocr3tic party 10 have congress remain In
session six or seven months Immediately
after his inauguration.
Mr. Cleveland stated that if he could
receive assurances OF adjournment with
in thirty days or less, he would call con-
grcSS together Immediately upon his inau-
Guration. He wants the ways and means
committee To he given authority to sit
during the recess and to go to all parts
Of the country for the purpose of giving
hearings on various articles affected by
the tariff He believes that if this could
he done the democrats could formulate
and pass Il tariff bill that would be salts
factory to tire people If Mr.. Cleveland
can receive assurances that the called
session viii simply be for the purpose
of organization. lie will order it. 1t is
believed these assurances can be given
him.
