Congressman so Housekeeping on
Their Own Hook.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The political at
mosphere is thick with speculations and
mwmurings tonight The hotel lobbies
are thronged, and whenever a member is
discovered with an opinion and with sw-
ficient boldness to express it he quickly
attracts a crowd The speaker has clung
to his room all day, but he has had little
rest, for his callers have been numerous.
Mr.. Springer spent good solid no
with him, aud when he regained the
foyer of the upper arcade his face plainly
indicated that his conference with Mr..
Crisp had not been of an unpleasant
nature. 1t is now freely predicted that
Mr.. Springer will regain his old place at
the head of the ways and means commit
tee. There is a strong desire among
many people to be rid of him, but his
friends are claiming the position on the
ground that the north will regard with
concern an organization of the House with
all of the great offices in the hands of
southern representatives.
The caucus of the democratic Senators
this afternoon remained in session until
2:30 o'clock. They adjourned without
having reached any conclusion on the
silver question. The discussion was ami
mated and disclosed that there was con
siderable difference of opinion among the
majority as to what line of procedure
should be adopted. The only conclusion
reached was the appointment Of steering
committee.
IN A RAzZLE DAZZLE.
The House members seem to be in q
razzle dazzle. Every member old and
new, is a financier on his own hook and
has his individual remedy for existing
evils. The House free silver caucus to-
day was great failure. Only about fifty
members were present, of whom one. Mr.
Bowers, of California, was a republican.
Messrs. Moses and Livingston alone rep
resented Georgia at this meeting An
effort was made to draw on both parties
for this caucus, but the republicans re-
manned aloof
There is a feeling of unrest because of
the uncertainty that brOOds over the cap
ital. The presence Of congress gives a
modicum Of comfort, but the fact that
the majority is split into factions and
that minority reckless of consequences
is seeking to make political capital out Of
the condition of affairs is far from reas-
suring to business people.
CARoLINA's ooLoRED CONGRESSMAN.
Representative George Washington
Murray Of South Carolina is very much
alone. There are brunettes I'm the House
to spare, but he goes beyond them. He is
an African of pure blood, and his skin is
of the blue black which marks the west
coast tribe of that continent. He is of
medium height and cannot be more than
30 years of age. He sits on the repubi-
can side, of course, far to the speakers
left, and moves but little IN the course Of
the whole day. AS he comes direct from
class of small waRe-earners, his vote
upon the silver question is awaited with
considerable interest.
