WASHINGTON. Jan, 17.--The reports:
that the opposition to Speaker Crisps
reelection has died out come fror
Mr.. Crisp's friends and are vigorously
denied by his opponents. Coupled
with this and in purportel cNp,anatiog
thereof is the statement that William
l.. Wilson has given up the idea Of
running for the spsakership because ht
is going to mike the race for the place
made vacant by the death of Senator
kennn, and that w. G. P. Breckin
ridge has drawn out because he is +
candidate for the place to be va ;atet
by Senator Carlisle.
Colonel l'recl1inridga is candi,lats
for the Kentucky senatorship, but lit
has not at any time been u candidate
for the spea'sership, His name ha.
been mentioned in connection with that
Office, but long before it was gen
orally understood that Senator Carlisl,
was to go into the cabinet Colone
breckenridge stated that he would mol
be a candidate for speaker.
AS for Mr.. Wilson, if he is candi.
date for the senate, the fact has no,
become apparent, and it is understood
that it he is not speaker of the next
house he will be chairman of the ways
and means committee, and that he
would like that position, as well as 8
seat in the senate.
The position of the Cleveland men, OF
the anti-Crisp men-whichevcr tern
one prefers to use-has not changed
They believe that they can control the
next house, and they are determined tc
do it. They are confident that the
speakers is willing if reelected to or.
gani1e the house as they want it or.
ganl2al, and are disposed with this nll,
desstanding to re-ele.t him, but they
have not decided to do 50.
If the Cleveland men vote for Speaker
Crisp and he thereupon names their
men for chairmen of the ways and
means, currency and banking, and
coinage, weights ana measures com.
mittees, it will be taken as evidence oil
combination that may cmbarrass the
speaker and hurt the Cleveland men.
The project of running candidate
against Mr.. Crisp has not yet been
abandoned. The Cleveland men are
determined ii it is a possible thing to
seizure the repeal of the Sherman silver
pnr ;hase act.
Josiah Quincy and Henry Willard
have been here to tal6 the mat

that one of the objects of his
visit was to consult Mr.. Cleveland
about the Andrews bill with
the Cate amendments. a
New York dispatch, whic.
came from Il man in the Cleveland eli.
Gle, stated a day or two ago that the
speaker had agreed to hello get this
bill through the h use. This statemen,
cannot be verified hero, but when one
of the leading Cleveland men in tn.
