WASHINGTON, March 14.-In the
organization of the next house cap
Reed, of Glencoe, is more than likely
to get a tirst-class place. In case he
does it will be due entirely to the
good management and long head OF
CONGRESSMAN HeatWole, who, When
he came on to Washington few
weeks since, declined to walk into
the trap set for him and the other
new members by the four old mem
berS. BY the terms of the TaWney
plan each member would have been
promised a petty SIS or $10O month
Job as the consideration for seven
votes in the Republican caucus cast
solidly for Mcdowell, of Pennsyl-
vanfa. for chief clerk, and Platt's
man for doorkeeper. But the new
member from the Third district de-
clined to fall in raptures over this
proposition, and began to feel MS
way around among the older mem
bers on the Republican side,
MUCH TO THE DISGUST
of Messrs. Tawney and Fletcher. He
soon learned that he might be able
to make as satisfactory a deal for
himself as the steering" commit
tee could make for him, and one day,
much to the surprise of this commit
tee, he brought out the Glencoe vet
eran as his candidate for assistant
sergeant-at-arms, and requested his
colleagues to assist in securing the
place for Capt. Reed. So far none Of
them have expressed any desire to
help Mr. Heatwole in this fight, but
it is altogether likely that home
pressure will be brought to bear in
favor of the captain.
One thing is certain, and 1t is that
sHeatwole is going to fix Reed If 1t
is possible, and, with the aid of the
Glencoe man, who intends, it is said,
to come on and assist in the manage
ment of the campaign, there ought
ito be little doubt of the result. When
tReed withdrew and made the cleo
ltion Of Heatwole certain he was
+ GIVEN ASSURANCES
without number to the effect that
the embargo would be raised on him,
and that the leaders of the party
would see to it that he was taken
care of. He thinks that a position
In the next house will be about the
proper thing, and in this has the
backing of his congressman. If the
other six are as strong in their
friendship for the old soldier as
they have been pretending there will
be no doubt of the result.
AS things stand now, with the GER
fainty of a big fight over the organ
5zation, Heatwole is in a first-class
position. He is not pledged to any
one and can do as he pleases. If
there is a big fight over the speak
ership as we'll as the officers of the
house, Joel may be able to dictate
his terms, in which event he will
have patronage to throw to the
boys who hustled for him. It is un-
uerstood that he has offered the po-
sition of private secretary to w. D.
Joubert, of the Litchfield News
Ledger. Now if he is able to land
~P tSNSA ct<oolSldllI SSISGdul-
alarms the western end of the dis
trict will be we'll taken care of.
4. WILL DO AS HE PROMISED.
OF course the Minnesota members
who see that Cap" Reeds candf-
oacy will hamper them, are beginning
to hint that to give the Glencoe man
this place will SAVIOR too much of a bar
gain; indeed, this was intimated to
Heatwole when he was here, but to the
surprise of the gentleman who brought
1t forward as reason for ignoring
the captain, Mr.. Heatwole said:
Il don't care what you call it, bar
gain or deal or what, 1 promised to
press Capt. Reed for something good.
and L am going to land him in a good
place if it is possible 1 had rather
Keep my promise and have a half dozen
bargains charged up to me than to
go back on this agreement. The fact
OF the matter is, that Capt Reed has
always, while inclined to be a little hot
headed at times, been a good Repub-
