Congress will meet on the first Monday
in December, but it will be the old Con-
eress, not the new one. A Democratic
President will be in the White House, and
. free silver majority will rule the Senate.
It is too much to expect that anything OF
Importance can be accomplished. We

Tbs Next Speaker

The first move of the country against
the city In the organization of the next
Legislature was made Monday night
when five of the country candidates for
speaker of the House met at the Lochiel
hotel in Harrisburg for conference as
to the best way in which to defeat the
plans of the Philadelphia delegation to
make H. K. Boyer speaker. There were
present at this conference Ward r. Bliss
of Delaware; w. c. Smith, of Bedford
George Kunkle, of Harrisburg; John R.
FaIr, of Lackawanna, and B. K. Forcht
of Union. They were in secret conclave
several hours and late that night announc-
ed that there would be vigorous fight Of
the country members against those of the
city on this question, Ward R. Bliss is
the leader in the movements against
Boyer and believes the country will win
After the conference they gave out an
authorized statement to the effect that
they are fully satisfied that the country
members can easily control the organi-
zation of the next House, and that in
spite of the claims made to the contrary
the assurances from all parts of the State
show that the rural members are fully
united and aroused on this question,
They say that the contest over the organ
ization of the next House should be
kept entirely apart from the contest for
United State Senator. Ttey also think
that in view of the factional troubles in
the Republican party in Philadelphia,
the speaker should not come from that
city, as that would mean the transfer
ence of these unfortunate differences to
Harrisburg. They say the country mem.
bers have no interest in these Philadel-
phia contests.
In the last seven sessions Philadelphia
has had the presiding officer of the SEN
ate five times and of the House four
times. Reference is made to the fact
that within recent years the country
combined successfully on the speaker
ship sgainst Allegheny ard Phila-
delphia. Another meeting will be held
a week before the session meets.

A conservative poll of the next Senate
shows that the sound money strength in
that body will consist of 4o votes while
silver will have AZ votes, leaving one
vacancy and one doubtful. Legislatures
chosen Nov. sd will elect a number of
Senators to the next Congress, and in
everal cases sound money men will be
elected to succeed the present silverites.
Voorhees,, of Indiana, Blackburn of Ken
lucky; Cameron, OF Pennsylvania; and
Hill, of New York, will all be succeeded
by sound money Republicans. Palmer,
of Illinois, who is sound money man,
will be succeeded by sound money Rep
ublican. Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
will be succeeded by a sound money Rep
ublican. These and other changes will
give the sound money element in the
next Senate clear working majority.

with a new adjective of his own inven-

Is this word tolerable? Can the critics
