T SHERMAN TO WITHDRAW
u, eaders Will Call on Him to
y re Chairmanship.

New Yo. aug. 3l.-Republican
insurgent lea. Ii ave decided to call
on Vice President Sherman to decline
the temporary craftsmanship of the
state convention, as offered to him
by the state committee, and efface
himself from the situation.
Friends of the vice president, who
are responsible for his election, said
that the demand of the insurgents
was absurd, and laughed at the sug-
gestion. They declared that to de.
mand Mr.. SherLans resignation
would be an open affront to the ma
tional administration, and that they
would never consent to such a pro-
posal.
Il still hope that Mr., Sherman and
his friends will see that he can not
accept an election surrounded by such
deceit as characterized the state COM
mittee action" said Mr. Grscom. Mr.
Barnes and his friends have drawn
Mr.. Sherman into an untenable posi-
ton, and | can understand that they

.SP[AkERSHIP AND
THE REPUBLICANS
DISCUSSION is RIFE AS TO SUB
STITUTE CANDIDATE FOR
SPEAKER CANNON.

! Washington, Aug. Discussion is
uppermost among republican house
members as to substitute candidate
for Speaker Cannon provided their
party retains control of the house.
Mr. Cannon declares that he will
again be a candidate, notwithstand-
ing evidence that the opposition to
his is stronger than ever. Mr.. Cannon
mons former supporters do not at
tempt TO deny that he has lost no
table strength since the adjournment
Of the house, some of his staunch-
est adherents having announced that
they could not again vote for him for
speaker.
Among those who have taken this
course is Judge Walter |. Smith, of
Iowa, who was tower of strength
to the speaker as a member with
John DalZell Of Pennsylvania, on the
rules committee. and as member
of the appropriations committee.
Other republicans discussed for the
speakership are James A. Tawney,
of Minnesota Marlin +. Olmsted, of
Pennsylvania; James w Weeks, of
Massachusetts; James II. Mann. of
Illinois. Mr.. Smith is serving his
sixth term; Mr.. Tawney. his ninth;
Mr. Olmstcd, his seventh Mr. Weeks,
his fourth, and Mr.. Mann, his seventh
All OF these are strong men, and all
Of them supported the regular organi-
zation. Whether the original insur-
gent republicans will put forward

great deal in their case depends upon
the result of the November election
returns. The democrats, who are
confident OF success, are not discuss
ing candidates. They seem to be
agreed that there will be but one
democratic candidate-Champ Clark. /

Should the democrats win, their /
chief difficulty will undoubtedly be

A bill introduced in the House

held by Mason s. Stone. appointive
instead of elective. while none of
the returning members are seriously

superintendent, of education is in
danger" says the Montpelier Journal,
"many of them are inquirinG what
the suggestion meaus, and none Of

The Journal understands that. Col
onel Billings idea is to remove the
Office from politics, and this pacific
object cannot of course be objected

Signals of distress were made from
