Il night has been termed, did not
matcrinlize owing to the oppor-
tune illness of Representative Richard
son. After eXhausting every resource in
an effort to establish harmony in the
ranks of his hopelessly divided party, Mr..
Richardson justified the confidence which
Gratis as II man of many resources and
grew i'll as the date for the caucus ap-
preached. BY so doing he prevented II
spectacular exhibition Of the sharp anita
ConismH Of his party and the probable
development of personal nnimoSities
which would have greatly added to his
difficulties as leader Of the minority. The
Democrats say that they will surely hold
their caucus ut some subsequent date but

in opposition to the majority report of
the Court of Inquiry. whenever the Dem
ocr;its shall control Il majority of the
House. Poor Schlcy.' remarked Il Re
publican member who WAS standing by
ms Mr.. Sheppard explained his plan. If
he has to wait ill then his vindication
won't even arrive in time to he comfort
to his great grandchildren
The Miles candidacy is said to be the
child Of the General himself, who thinks
he secs in the reprimand of the prcSi-
dent ana the fact that he aligned him

his aspirations. He is not ut present re-
