from west of the Allegheny mountains,
emitting Ohio, and north of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers.
The southern and border contingent
will be:
kentucky ::.:.......................
North Carolina ........................2
tennessee
West Virginia 5
Total 10
These votes come from south of the
Ohio river.
Here, then, is the situation. The east
has II votes. If she could draw to her
candidate the Is votes of Ohio she would
still be seven votes short. If she could
bring to her support the entire Ohio
delegation and the entire southern del
cgation she would have the nominat ton
with majority Of three. The west has
ss votes, independent of Ohio. If she
can draw the southern contingent she
has the nomination with a majority Of
five. If she can draw Ohio she has the
nomination with a majority of ten. If
she can carry her own vote solid and Sc
cure five votes from either the southern
contingent or from Ohio she can be
successful.
It will be seen that if mere personal
considerations do not outweigh the gem
eral geographical political considera-
tons the speaker of the Fifty-sixth
congress is very likely to come from
west of the Allegheny mountains. At
the organization of the Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-ffth congresses the east had
able not only to nominate Mr.. Reed,
from the extreme northeastern coun-
try, but they were able to locate the
two great Offices of clerk of the house
and doorkeeper of the, house, involving
three-fourths Of the patronage, all east
of The Alleghenies. The western men
say that the star of repub lican political
power is moving their way, and it is
good deal to ask of them that they shall
yield the speakership to man who is
outranked in years of service in the
house by not fewer than seven or eight
distinguished representatives from the
vast territory west of the Alleghenies.:
But, after all, the majority party will
Devise if it selects the man who is pos.
sessed of greatest ability regardless Of
his geographical location. Tom Reed
is a big man whether he is in Maine,
New York, Washington, London, Ber-5
lin or anywhere else on the face of the
earth. It is to be hoped that the house
may have good, strong presiding Off
Ger, no matter where he mayreside.

his party. James S. Sherman, also of
New York, is a much younger man, and
has been a member of the house for ten
years. Either one of these gentlemen,
if selected by the eastern members of
the dominant party, might prove to be
successful; and either one of them
would be a good presiding officer.
The western men have a caucus ma
jority, if they can unite upon candi-
date Ohio will probably not present
candidate, because the president halls
from that state. Indiana has no candi-
date, because none Of her representa-
tives has been in public life long enough
to become a national character. The
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Nebraska have no man who
has been a member of the house long
enough to claim recognition in speak
ership contest, excepting Wisconsin,
which might present the name of Con-
gresham Babcock, but for the fact that
he declined to be candidate.
illinois has two good men, either one
OF whom would make good presiding
officer. Congressman Hopkins, of Au-.
rora, is leading member of the COM
mittee on ways and means. He has
often presided over the house when in
committee of the whole, and in that
position has manifested great parlia-
mentary skill. Congressman Cannon,
of Danville, has long been a national
character. He has three times been
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. It was he who introduced
the famous bill appropriating $5o,0OO,-

MINNESOT TIA NEWS.
Decides Against the State.

The secretary of the interior has de-
cided claim of Minnesota toSsections
IL and SO on coded Indian reservations.
The contention of the state through
the state auditor and through the writ
ten statements from Senators Davis
and Nelson was that sections 16 and SO
were never intended as part Of the In
dian reservations in Minnesota; that
by virtue of constitutional provisions
the state is entitled to these sections
for school land purposes.
Secretary Hitchcock holds that under
existing treaties with the Indians and
under the congressional enactment of
1862 the United States is under obliga-
ton to the Indians who relinquished
these and other lands Of the reserva-
ton under the terms of the Nelson act.
1t is further claimed by the depart
ment that at the time the treaty was
first made the lands were unsurveyed
and that the state could have no legal
claim to them; also that there are
presidents showing that the govern
ment is bound to keep inviolate it's
stipulations under their provisions of
treaties with the Indians.
This decision will not settle the con-
troversy. A test case is now being pre-,
pared and will be brought in the
courts.
