POSSIBLE CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER IN THE NEXT
 CONGRESS.
THE PROGRAMME OF HIS
 FRIENDS.
Relieving That the Next House Will Be Democratic, Ex-senator Hills Frieds Will Ask Him
 to Run for Congress.
to Run for Congress

ALBANY, N. Y. March l5. -Ex-Sen- ator HlPs slight indlsposition is quite annoying to the Democrats here who have been looking forward to his return with more than ordi- nary interest. If it is the intention of the ex- Senator to retire from politics for q season he will find his plans seriously interfered with when he shall have an opportunity to con suit with the rank and file of the Democracy here. The recent local elections have been most eneourag- ing to the Democrats. There has been q general laying aside of the factional differences that developed during the campaign of last year, and the sole disposition is to get together and fight the common enemy.
 Notwithstanding the talk of a few hot heads, Mir. Hill is the logical leader, and it is to him the regular Democracy of the State will look for organization and aggressive fight ing. One of the plans in contemplate ion is the nomination of Mr. Hill for seat in the House of Representa- tiyes next year. The men who advo- cate this, point with no small degree of pride to the record the leader oi the New York Democracy made in

TnE nomination of Joe Bailey by the Democratic caucus for Speaker of the House, which carries with it the leadership of the minority party, is a very high compliment to the brilliant young Texan Bailey is only 34 years old and is a very elo quent orator and close student of public affairs. But after the decli- nation of Mr. Bland, the honor, we think, should have been conferred upon Benton McMillian, of Tennes- see, who by his past services in the House, his skill as parliamentary leader, and by reason Of his prece- dence as next in the order of rank on the Ways and Means Committee, deserved the honor and the place. Next to Wilson and .Breckinridge, both of whom are now out of Cong ress, McMillian was the best inform ed member of the committee on the subject of tariff, and since this ques ton will be put to the fore in the extra session of Congress called by President Mckinley, McMillian was unquestionably the man to lead the minority party. By virtue of his familiarity with the details Of tariff legislation, MeMillian's services will be indispensable to the Democrats when the tariff question comes up, and for the good of his party it is to be hoped that the brilliant Tennes- seean will .notsulk in his tent because of any disappointments in personal preferences and ambition.

TIE esteemed Fort Smith Times Democrat does not agree with the esteemed Pine Bluff Commercial to the effect that Billy Bryan, like the parrot, is talking too much. The Times Democrot very correctly says; Some one has said Mr. Bryan is talking too much. Grievous error, that MT Bryan is talking too much
 If Mir. Bryan were politician seek ing a nomination Presidential, the criticism might be good; but Mir
 Bryan is not such. He is simply telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
 and telling it only when asked. And the truth is not going to sangile itself, nor trip itself, nor hurt itself. As Daniel Webster used to say, all truth is in harmony with all truth, while error is at war with truth and at war with itself Mir. Bryan talks what he believes and is not afraid of the consequen-

the Senate. They argue that the
 Democrats will be sure to elect a
 majority of the House of Represen-
 tatives next year, and should this come to pass without an infusion of leadership the party would be in q bad shape On the other hand, they show that Hills entrance to the House would not only give the party an experienced leader, but that he could be elevated to the Speakers chair, and thus solve a problem which is giving all far-seeing Democratic leaders considerable concern.
 HIS STRENGTH IN NORTH AND WEST.
 It is well understood that Mir. Hills selection as Speaker of the House would be bitterly opposed by
 the extreme Southern and Western members, but the domination of these men in the Congress to be elect ed next year is by no means assured. It is calculated that the Democratic representative from the North will be so materially increased that it will be possible to organize the House on new and broader lines and with the wiping out of the petty differences of the last campaign. Hil's road to the Speakership would be cleared.
 The political admirers of ex-Seu- ator Hill don't doubt for a moment that he would accept a nomination for Congress if his party should de- mand that he enter the fight. They point to his record in obeying party orders, and also to the fact that the House of Representatives would give him great field for displaying his powers as leader. Further more, 1t is urged in support of this plan that Hill's advent in Congress would be at a time when the Gemo. cracy will sadly need a strong leader. As soon as Mr. Hill returns from Washington the Democracy will urge him to take a hand in the re- organization of the party, and it is safe to say that all the mistakes of l the Republican machine will betaken Of, and the next Con gressional delegation from this State will be largely Democratic.

MAYOR GOLDSMITH "
WITH.
DR1 IFS

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
 a card of withdrawal from Mayor l.,
 E. Goldsmith. This course is due tc
 a recurrence of his physical infrm
 ities and the advice of his physicians
 who have again urged him to seek a
 milder cline. At the time of bis
 announcement Mayor Goldsmith
 thought he han sufficiently recoY-
 cred from his physical illness so as to
 permit his again taking upon him
 self the arduous and responsible
 duties of Mayor, and that he could
 remain in Pine Bluff and give his
 personal attention to the duties of
 his office for another term; but since
 his return from El Paso he has suf-
 fered a relapse and has discovered
 that he has not entirely recovered
 from his physical ailments and that his absence from this city will again be enforced Out of consider ations of health and his duty to his family Mayor Goldsmith has there fore found it imperative upon him to withdraw from the exciting vortex of politics, aud return to the peace tul shades of private life. That Mayor Goldsmith's course is the part of wisdom none will deny. Tn fact, his most intimate friends vigorously protested against his an nouncement for re election, because they believed that his delicate eonsti- tuition could not withstand another term of office, and had he been at home instead of in EI Paso at the time of his announcement, it would probably never have been handed ia to the press.
 As private citizen Mir Gold smith is universally esteemed and and in his physical infrm- ties has the best wishes of the pub lie and the GRAPHIC for a complete and speedy restoration to health. In obedience to it's conceptions of duty and its obligations to the public, the GRAPHIC has had occasion during Mayor Goldsmith's administration to crlticise some of his official acts and to disagree with him entirely in some of his constructions of the law, but in all of this not che word has been set down in malice. Had any body else been in power with Mayor ideas of the functions of the Mayors office, the GRAPHIo's | would have been exactly the same. Whatever criticisms the GRApHIc has passed on his adminis- tration have been criticisms of Mir. as a public office holder, not as a private citizen. All have been purely of a l political and not of personal In his retirement Mir. Goldsmith will therefore carry with him the heartfeltI good wishes of the GRAPHIC for health, happiness and prosperity. ]

Ar the meeting of the City Coun- ell Monday night Alderman H. Riley tendered his resignation as Alderman from the Third Ward, owing to his contemplated removal from this city at an early date. The term of Alderman Atkinson, from the Third Ward, also expires this year, which leaves two vacancies to be filled in the Third Ward at this election. As all candidates must file their names with the County Treasurer fifteen days in advance of the election, those contemplating running for Alderman should an- Hounce at once It is just as i'm portant that an able, intelligent and efficient council be elected as @ good Mayor, and, therefore, we hope to see progressive, honest and intelli- gent business men, identified with the best interests of the city, offer themselves for Alderman from the various wards.

As THE city campaign progresses, the GRAPHIC would like to suggest something for the candidates for Alderman and the Mayorality to talk about As for few introduc- tory nuts to crack, how about a public market house and new city hall. Lets hear from you, gentle men2 During the latter part of Mayor Bells wise ard efficient administra- tfon, a scheme was devised by which city scrip has been brought nearly to par, and there can now be no further excuse for permitting the unsightly "rookery' that stands at the corner of Second and State streets to stand as an apology for a city hall. And then, too, s240 a year could be saved the city in rents for so-cal.ed Mayors office.
