the only reason it has not been

Representative Payne, Of New
York, seems likely TO fare badly in
the SpenkershIp fight. Senator
Platt has promised to force HIM to
withdraw as n candidate for
Speaker, in favor of Sherman. and
1t is understood that Henderson
and Hopkins. the two leading
Western candidates, have made a
deal whereby their strength will be
combined TO nominate the strong
est OF the two, and the one who
fails to get the Speakcrship shall
be made Chairman of the WAYS
and Means Committee and floor
leader of the Republicans, posi-
ton TO which Payne was advanced
after the death of Mr.. Dingley and
which he would like TO keep, if he
can't get tho Speakership. Should
Sherman win the chances are that
he would have to promise the
chairmanshIp of the committee on
Ways and Means to some other
state. So il looks az though PAYNE
was bound to lose no matter who
wins.
