CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

Ex-Congressman Kellogg, of Connecticut,
who was the unsuccessful Republican candi-
date in Mr.Pigott's district, was in town for a
few hours yesterday On his way up from Flor
ida, where he has been passing few weeks
in getting much-needed rest.
Mr.. Kellogg says that in Waterbury his
town, the Republican sentiment is il absolute
control. He does not expect to be the candi-
date this Fall, though he may accept the nom
ination if 10 other candidate is brought for
ward.
Mr.. Kellogg is believer in young men,
and personally he would prefer to have one
of these have the nomination.
The various members OF the House who
have been placed in the chair by Speaker
Crisp during the past few weeks have shown
clearly that it takes something more than a
knowledge of parliamentary proceedings to
make good presiding officer.
Mr.. MILAN. when in the chair Thursday,
distinguished himself by smashing mis- gavel
Mr.. Stone, who was in the chair during part
of Mr.. Reefs most vigorous and determined
fllibustering, knocked off the Speakers desk
part of the walnut frame which holds down
the green felt and then smashed the chips.
Altogether II takes considerable forbearance
and q knowledge that silence engenders
III.
Speaker Crisp knows this and acts upon it.
In the Erie district of Pennsylvania Mat
thew Griswold. member of the House during
the Fifty-second Congress. has again received
the Republican nomination. and from the
present outlook in that lively manufacturing
district is going to have very handsome ma
iority to come back upon.
The district is the one that the late million
aire railroad king, W. L. Scott. represented
for some time. Mr.. Griswod is a large iron
and piano manuiacturer-rather diverse in
terests to be sure, but very prosperous ones
nevertheless-andw while not a frequent speaker
on the floor is one of those who does good
work in committees.
Ex-Congressman Baker, OF Rochester. was
before the Interstate Commerce Committee
of the House yesterday. arguing in favor of
the bill to repeal the interstate commerce
law. Since his withdrawal from politics, Mr..
Baker has devoted his attention to law with
renewed vigor. and is understood to be en-
ioying large practice.
Senator Smith. of New Jersey, is not pros
trated by election results in his state Speak
ing of the outcome the other day, he said
the vote was very light and showed great
apathy dinouB tHe DeilOrrdts anu local issues
to some extent clouded the results.
While good many Democrats may have
been dissatisfied with the course OF events at
Washington, and hence anxious to give some
temptible evidence of their displeasure. the
Senator says they did not care to vote against
the ticket, and that is the best proof that the
Democracy is still there.
Nothing has been heard in New Jersey cir
cles here of the 900 weavers of Paterson and
New York who, it is said in the New York
papers, were coming to Washington to protest
against the passage Of the tariff bill.
The New Jersey Congressman declare that
they have heard no more than what the New
York papers contained, and it is hardly likely |
that Senator Smith. after making them prom |
ises at Paterson, would let them come down |
to Washington to help him secure certain |
legislation.
II was distinctly stated in the dispatch re- |
ferred to that the movement was not another |
case of "Coxeyism,' so Col. Redstone will not |
have to organize any more groups until |
Monday.
