MIR. REEDS CALLERS.
He Meets the New Members of the
Ohio Delegation

This morning at 10 o'clock Mr.. Reed re-
ceived fourteen republican members of the
Ohio delegation by appointment. The call
was made simply to pay respects and not
to request anything of the next Speaker.
1t was also an occasion for the new men,
bers from Ohio to meet Mr.. Reed. Moth
ing was said about committees. 1t is un-
derstood that General Grosvenor would be
perfectly satisfied to remain a member
of the ways and means committee and fore
go his chances for a craftsmanship. Mr.
Bromwell of Cincinnati desires to go on the
river and harbor committee, while the del
egation are unanimous in wishing that Mr..
Taft, also of Cincinnati, should be placed
as Ohio's representative on the committee
of foreign affairs.
The New York delegation will caucus to-
morrow afternoon and be prepared to vote
for the combine at the caucus at night
1t has always been a custom of the New
York members to caucus and select their
committee assignments and submit the
slate to the Speaker. The selections made
for the Fifty-first Congress were accepted
by Speaker Crisp, and at the caucus to-
morrow New York may make slate for
Mr. Reed.

\ Probable Test Vote.
TWO MICHIGAN VIEWS.
Talks With New Members From the
Wolverine State.

Two Eew Michigan members are in the
city, Mr.. Corliss of the Detroit district and
Mr.. W. A. Smith of Grand Rapids. In an
Interview they talked Interestingly upon
public questions, domestic and foreign, and
gave their opinions upon desirable legisla-
ton.
Il have no hesitation in saying" said Mr..
Smith, that l regard it as a duty of this
republican Congress to make a complete
revision of the tariff, on the lines of pro-
lection. And on foreign affairs, in my
judgment, we should extend cordial greet
ing to the Cubans struggling for freedom,
call halt to Great Britain in Venezuela,
and take steps toward the annexation of
Cuba, Hawaii and San Domingo"
Mr.. Corliss said his views the tariff
differed from those of his colleague some
what.
There are three things to which this
Congress should turn its attention." said
Mr.. Corliss, land first of these is the tariff.
But in doing this ! do not think it eXpedi-
ent to go into complete revision. 1t would
be better to repeal the Wilson law outright,
thus bringing the Mckinley law again into
ez tstence. That would be far better than a
| new revision. for the country knows all
about the Mckinley law, while it would
take a long time to educate on a new re-
vision. But if the Wilson bill is not re-
pealed, then il would be desirable to amend
the most glaring faults of the present tariff
law For instance, take the Detroit dis
trct, where the tariff on dressed lumber
works a loss of thousands of dollars to our
CWn people and puts it in the pockets of
Canadians. That should be amended, and
there are other fragrant faults needing
speedy attention.
Now, as to finance" continued Mr. Cor
liss, lit seems to me action is imperatIvey
necessary. This Congress will declare itself.
There should be no temporiZng. The re-
publican party must announce its attitude
to the country. / favor the passage of a
finance bill, no matter what Mr. Cleveland
or the Senate may do with it. Action
should be the watchword with us. The peo-
pie expect it, and will not be put off
The third thing imperatively demand
ing attention is immigration. We should
stop the influx of pauper and criminal I'M
migrants before they leave the other side.
1t IS useless to try to stop them when they
reach this side. l have figures showing
that of the 5000 paupers in Michigan poor
houses one-half ofs them are of foreign
birth. But it should be borne in mind tina t
restriction should only operate against the
pauper and criminal foreigners, and rot
against the able-bodied and Industrious for
eigners, who constitute a valuable element
to our population

REPRESENTATI IVE:xHERMANN.
He Speaks of the Importance of tn
NicaraSuan Canal.


The Faclfic coast delegations have come
to Washington with determination to give
the Nicaraguan canal project boom if
possible. The report of the special commits
sion is somewhat of a setback to their
hoEes of speedy conclusioniof their plans,
but they Intend to make a strong pull for
action.
Representative Hermann of Oregon, who
is expected to be appointed chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee, said today
that the Nicaraguan canal question was the
one OF most vital intsEest to the Pacific
coast, eS and Weuid prohajay occupy most of
the attention of the members from that sec
ton. The canal, he said, would add fifteen
cents bushel to the value of their whea
by cheapening transporta ton, and would
BRING the Pacific slope nearer ito Liverpool
thaa the wheat fields of Indiana.
Mr.. Hermann says that the sentiment in
his section of the country is opposed to the
retirement of the greenbacks, and in favor

clare they will continue thu contest until a

REPRESENTATIVE SWANSON.
He Does Not Think the Solid South
Permanently Broken.

Representative Swanson of Virginia does
not think that the solid south is permanent
ly broken. 'The republicans" he said to-
day, "are going to follow out their old pol
icy as to legislation and all fiscal affairs.
The southern people who voted with the re-
publicans this time because they were not
satisfied with what the democratic party
has done do not believe in the republican
policy, and will be as much or more dissatis-
fed with the result of putting the republi-
cans in power. They are sure to come back
to the democrats. This deserton was only
to emphasize their dissatisfaction with the
course of things. In Virginia the fact that
the negro population is not increasing in
the ordinary proportion will keep the state
democratic. The census shows that In the
ten years preceding the census the increase
of the negro population was but little over
three Thousand This was due to many
leaving The state. There is constant
exodus"

The Slate of the Combine Probably
to Go Through.
h'DOWIL!'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT
A Kansas Man Selected for the
ChapIaincy.
CAPT. SHERWOOD WITHDRAWS

1t looks as if a great deal of talk might
grow out of the contest over the offices of
the House. From what is now said, it may
assume an Importance entirely dispropor-
tionate to the consequence of the offices
sought after. The ction of the Indiana and
Ohio delegations last evening appears to
settle the question of choice and to insure
the election of the Mcdowell combination
ticket. There is something entirely unique
in the manner in which the combination
has been put through.
Against Traditions.
There is a tradition that combinations
announced far in advance never win,
but in this instance the combination was
announced at the outset, and it was de-
clared dogmatically that it was fixed for
the slate to go through. 1t was said that
a promise made Mr.. Mcdowell by Senator
Quay before the F'ifty-fourth Congress was
elected, contingent only on the republicans
having a majority of the House, was to he
fulfilled and it looks now as if that were
true. Mr.. Mcdowell got support from
every section OF the country, and the COM
binatiCn does not seem to have met with
any diSappointments from any quarter
The ticket is SAID TO be made up in all its
details as it is to stand.
Some Presidential Politics.
From what is being SAID, there seems to
be some presidential politics in the matter,
though how things of so disproportionate
consequence come to be associated together
it is hard to comprehend. The statement
made is that the strength of the combina-
ton lay in the fact that all the presidential
candidates are playing for the vote of New
York and Pennsylvania, and that their
friends naturally went to the support of
the candidates presented by the organza-
tons of those two states.
Strength OF the Combination.
The strength of the combination was
from the first Mcdowell of Pennsylvania
and Glenn of New York. The rest of the
slate was made according to the develop
ments of the canvass. The strength of the
two principal candidates is of character
unusual in such contests. Each of them is
actively supported by his state committee

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS
It Will Be to Determine the General Re.
publican Policy
Important to Decide on the COnstrnc-
Reorganization Takes Place. 900.

The republican senatorial caucus which
has been called to meet Immediately after
the adjournment next Monday is not eX-
pecte! to decide what it is to DO with
regard to reorganization. The caucus will
be for an exchange of views as to the gen.
eral policy of the party, and to ascertain
what Senators would want in case there
should be a reorganization. The most i'm
portant question is how the finance COM
mittee should be constructed if the repub-
licans should get control. There is danger
of split on this question, which might put
an end to all thought of reorganization.
What the Silver Men Want.
The silver republicans have announced
that the present silver complexion Of that
mmittee must be maintained and that the
vacancies must be filed in q way to give a
clear majority fer silver The younger ele-
ment of the west insist also on very sub
stantial recognition in the formation of
other committees If this attitude is ad-
hered to reorganization, if accomplished,
would not represent the conservative sound
money element of the east and it is prob
able that most of the eastern Senators would
prefer no reorganization rather than to
have the republican party made responsible
for the formation of a free silver finance
committee, If much friction develops over
this question in the caucus Monday, it is
Ekely that the idea of a reorganization will
be abandoned
Probable Test Vote.
If it is decided to propose a reorganza-
ticn, the test will be made on the vote for
president pro TEN. The republicans will
probably propose Mr.. Frye. The demo-
Gratis will move to amend, by inserting the
name of Harris, and the populists will move
another amendment to insert the name of
one of their number. If this is done, it is
regarded as certain that all three motions
will be lost, and the Senate will be without
a president pro tenn. This is not a serious
matter, as the chair can be filled Temporal
rily at any time the Vice President might
be absent

The Combine Confident.

At the headquarters of the combine today
there was very little activity, victory be-
Ing regarded by the managers as a fore
gene conclusion, and the necessity for fur

Includes Maj. Mcdowell of Pennsylvania
for clerk. Mr.. Glenn of New York for door
keeper Mr.. Russell of Missouri for ser
geant-at-ar-ns and Maj. McElroy of Ohio
for postmaster. The friends of the COM
bine will meet in caucus tomorrow even

m:ttee on ways and means to prepare a line
of action to be followed in the general re-

Lyman Chandler of This City Died
Last Tuesday Morning.

1t becomes our sad duty to
chronicle the death this week Of
one OF New London's old and
respected citizens, Lyman Chand-
ler. Lyman Chandler was born
in Batavia, New York, June l 1th,
1881. He would thus have been
81 years old had he lived to June
11th next. He passed away
peacefully April End, Z O'Clock in

count Of a rheumatic affec-
tion OF his neck that rendered
him to some extent a cri pple.

this winter with the aid of his
cane, and accompanied with

constant companion. Friday OF
last week he was taken down
with the prevalent fatal pneu-
monia, and died as we have
stated Tuesday morning. Mr..
Chandler settled in New London
1870. He worked at first in the
mill both as miller and mill
wright. After a few years, as
his health began to decline, he
devoted his time to Bookkeeping

in the days gone by, it may per-

account Of the sharp competi-
tion from the towns sprinying
up along the st. Cloud Il Will

Grove City drewits chief support.
But it seems as though that
Grove City have not only kept
it's own, but can boast of a trade
which many a larger village would
be proud OF. This, however, is
undoubtedly due to the richness
of the surrounding country and
the energy of her business men
