THE DIFFERENCES OF THE PEMOCEACT-
rraoM A etatt cobrkspowbitt.!
New Tore, Nov. 20. When men of the
tame political organizations differ on ques
tions of party management or upon the
merits of popular leaders of their party,
they act with the least forbearance and dis
play the most bitterness of speech. The
fends here in New York in the ranks of
both political organizations have .recently
been notorious. They have also been
deadly. Like the hatred existing between
brothers they are always more personal,
unreasonable, Tenomous and lasting than
any disagreements with outsiders.
Just now there happens to be a distin
guished citiren of New York whose name
has for eight years been in everybody's
month in connection with the highest office
within the gilt of the nation. For reasons
well known to most intelligent people a
considerable body of his own party is dis
posed to doubt the expediency of placing
ex-President Cleveland at the head of the
national Democratic ticket. In this State
this doubt is fortified by facts, which go far
to reduce it to a moral certainty. The
knowledge of this seems to be too hard lor
his friends to bear with equanimity.
Differences of the Democrat.
There is apparently a warm desire on the
part of Mr. Cleveland's sucporters to tread
these dissenters in the mud. You can hear
more loud and angry talk among Democrats
about the respective merits and chances of
Hill and Cleveland in this city at present
than is usually heard between Republicans
nd Democrats on the dividing issues about
election time.
This seems particularly so with regard to
Mr. Cleveland. For some reason or other
the latter has gained fame recently because
of the result of the elections. "Why, is one
of those queer things hard to understand. I
have looked the matter over very carefully,
and am at a loss to see where Mr. Cleveland
legitimately and necessarily comes in. But
his red-hot friends say he did it, and that
he is unmistakably called and just as good
as chosen, with a disposition to read every
Democrat out of the party who refuses to
believe it.
Now, I-wIll-'let you in on the ground"
floor and you can then see the reason for all
this display of independence and under'
ttand the basis of this confidence.
Kxprcts to Win 'Without New Tork.
Mr. Cleveland expects to be renominated
with or without New York. He expects to
be chosen, if necessary, in spite of New
York. This may sound absurd to & good
many practical politicians. And it would
be an absurdity under almost any other
political conditions. But Grover Cleve
land is an impractical politician; he dis
cards the ordinary rules of political pro
cedure. His friends have convinced him
that he is bigger than his party, and is the
political mother of invention. He sees in
his mind's eye the supplicating hands of a
million voters, Bepublicans and Democrats,
raised toward him in prayer, beseeching
him to stand up and save the country. And
he's coing to do it.
His own State may not be for him, but
what of that? If SO or 40 other States want
him New York will be compelled to fall
into line. She dare not be so obstinate as
to refuse her delegation when that vote
alone is necessary for his nomination. New
York is all very well, a very desirable State
to have behind a candidate's back, and
under ordinary conditions absolutely neces
sary to a resident candidate but Mr. Cleve
land has become satisfied that he is too big
a man and too important a factor in na
tional affairs to be hemmed in by the po
litical boundaries of his own Common
u calth. He feels that he belongs to the
country, and he has solemnly consecrated
I believe that is the way he himself puts
it solemnly consecrated himself to his
country.
The History of 1888 to Re Repeated.
What is New York going to do about it?
What can she do? Nothing except to vote
against him on the final turn, as she did be
fore. This is an awkwardly serious respon
sibility which Mr. Cleveland's friends do
not appear to consider imminent.
"Mr. Cleveland's popularity out our
way," paid a distinguished Federal office
holder from Chicago, "is unmistakable. If
we consider the recent utterances of the
Illinois press it has taken a remarkable up
ward tendency since the elections. There
are indications that the ex-President has a
literary bureau somewhere in full opera
tion. The country editor doesn't
usually go far out of his way
to get together a lot of ed
itorial stuff of this kind and
there is a remarkable similarityjof state
ment and uniformity of publication. There
are apparently myriads of Democrats who
fairly worship Cleveland as a sort of politi
cal god. Yes, I think he will be nominated,
and without New York. The recent big
Democratic majority has made Western
Democrats believe that all differences here
have been healed and that Cleveland can
carry New York with a whirl. In fact,
many of them think he did it this time. I
shouldn't be surprised to witness a very
curious political phenomenon the State
delegation pledged to and voting for an
oincr candidate and Cleveland getting a
majority of the whole convention on the
first ballot. Wouldn't that be funny?"
The Most Difficult Feature.
Yes, it would be very funny. It would
be still more funny, however, to witness an
other equally phenomenal feature of this
affair the finding of the electoral votes to
replace thoe of New York in order to elect
the nominee

POLITICA
DOLATRY
sition to such friends of the ex-President I
happened to meet. While most of them
ostensibly believe that New York will final
ly accept Mr. Cleveland, and make him her
candidate, they are unanimous in the de
claration that he will be nominated anyhow,
even if this State should present another
name. His determination is, they say, to
stand for the country and by the country.
And he would do so with entire confidence
that he will carry off the Presidency as easi
lv as he will carry off the nomination. In
the language of one enthusiast: "The con
ditions demand Mr. Cleveland. The coun
try demands him. His nomination will be
forced. He" will get it on the first ballot.
New York will be compelled to take him.
Hill will never be heard of Nobody else
will be in it!"
And how hot these blind enthusiasts get
under the collar when somebody ventures
to suegest that this is possibly largely
moonshine. Governor Hill admitedly con
trols the State Committee and the State
delegation to the next National Democratic
Convention will unquestionably be for
David B. Hill, if he wishes it. It is possi
ble, how ever, that even New York Demo
crats may be brought to see the folly of a
nomination that may result in nationel de
feat and go in for a candidate from some
other state.
What the Republicans Say.
What is heard favorably of Mr. Cleve
land's chances in New York comes largely
from Republican and Mugwump sources.
Mr. T. C Piatt says Cleveland is the com
ing man. Mr. J. Sloat Fassett saysnothing
can prevent Cleveland's nomination, and
generously contributes 10,000 of Flower's
50,000 plurality to the credit of the ex
President. Mr. Cleveland's Republican en
dorsements right here in New York are of
the highest character.
But these men know that the machine is
for Hill and that a diversion in favor of
Cleveland cleverly worked up will inevi
tably result in both men being thrown over
board and probably in tbe selection of a
candidate from some other State. It is good
politics to foment discord in the ranks of
the opposition. Of course, Mr. Cleveland
is in no wise to blame for any of this. He
is quite as conscious of the injury it is
liable to do him as anv of his opponents
are.
It may be unjust to the ex-President to
hold him responsible for the wild talk of
his ardent followers, but unless they change
their plans the programme is to force his
nomination, let the consequences be wnat
they may. Citaki.es T. 'Murray.

Telegrams or Condolence.
Fhiladelphia, Nov. 20. Special
The body of William J. Florence was re
moved from the Continental Hotel this
evening, and, attended by a few relatives,
taken to New York, where the funeral will
take place. The scenes around the corridor
leading to the apartments where the come
dian breathed his last presented a changed
appearance this morning. Instead of the
calm and quiet that prevailed during the
past few'days, there were evidences of ac
tivity. Preparations were being made to
allow the friends of the dead actor to take
a last look at his face.
It was shortly after noon that the body of
the comedian, clad in a black suit and in
closed -in-a cloth-cyeredoffin, was placed
in room 4, and the doors opened to allow
the immediate friendsio take their last, look
at the face of the dead actor. There was
little change; the features were as natural
as life. It seemed as if the big-hoarted
Billy Florence was peacefully sleeping.
Shortly before 5 o'clock the room was
opened for the admission of those who de
sired to look upon the deadactor's face. The
majority who called were brother profes
sionals, to whom he had especially endeared
himself The stream was almost a steady
one from G until 6 o'clock, when the body
was taken to the Pennsylvania Railroad
station and placed in a special car attached
to the G:50 train. Those accompanying the
body were Police Inspector Conlin,"of New
York, Mr. Florence's brother; Joseph H.
Tooker, his brother-in-law; Mrs. Mary J.
Ward, his sister; Mrs. Barney Williams,his
sister-in-law, and Mr. and Mrs. George
Mitchell, son-in-law and daughter of Mrs.
Williams. All day long telegrams of con
dolence came pouring in from all over the
country.
Upon the arrhal of the partv at New
York, they will proceed direct to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel with the body. Col6nel
McMichael, who was an intimate friend of
Mr. Florence, made all the arrangements
here to-day for the transportation of the
body, and, together with A. M. Palmer, of
New York, will attend to k the various de
tails of the funeral.
A cablegram was received this morning
from Mrs. Florence, in which she expresses
the wish that her husband should be buried
in the Catholic faith, and that the funeral
should take place from St. Agnes' Boman
Catholic Church, New York. The funeral
will probably take place Monday, the place
of interment being Greenwood Cemetery.
AN OLD LAW TO THE FB0HT.
John Stetson Made to Fay 830,000 on Ac
count of a Gambling Loss.
BOSTOS-, Nov. 20. Special John Stet
son, banker, broker and theatrical manager,
to-day paid Mrs. Anna B. Everett 530,000
in crisp new bills and thus settled one of
the most remarkable cases ever tried before
a Massachusetts court. Mrs. Everett
claimed that Stetson was the proprietor of
a swell gambling club known as the Carlton
Club, in which, on the night of November
2, 1889, Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of New Bed
ford, lost $1G,000. One of Stetson's clerks,
George Everett, knew of this little incident
and used it to a good advantage at a later
day when he was arrested on the charge of
embezzlement.
There is an old law in Massachusetts
which gives a right to any person to sue for
money lost at gaming by any other person,,
provided the loser does not brine suit
within three months. In case of a recoverjvj
luc 1'i.uuliil & u rcuuvcr turce limes lue
amount lost. Mrs. Everett learned of this
law and immediately sued Stetson to re
cover 531,000, which is three times the
amount Mr. Bourne lost, including inter
est Sherefused to listen to any talk of a
compromise until the criminal case against
her husband was n ithdrawn. To-day that
case was nolle pressed, and a few minutes
later Stetson's lawyer paid to Mrs. Everett
the sum stated above
IT WILL BE WAS TO THE gHIFE,
Mayor Hose, or Johnstown, Challenges His
Accusers to Produce Proofs.
JoiDf STOWS-, Nov. 20. Special At a
meeting of the Iroquois Club last night
Mayor Rose surprised the members who
were accused of working against the ticket
He said he had been included in the num
ber who had been unfaithful, and he chal
lenged his accusers to produce their proof
He said he did not propose to resign and
qnietly leave the club, as had been sug
gested to him, simply because some of the
members had suggested that course.
This vigorous speech was altogether un
looked for and created great excitement.
What action will be taken has not been an
nounced, but it is believed that all attempts
to have the matter quietly dropped will
now fail, and a full investigation of all the
charges will be made.

NEW FEATURES OF BRITISH POLITICS
rcOPTRIGHT. 1S91, BY THE J.KW YORK ASSOCIATED
PRESS.
Londov, Nov. 20. The Liberal leaders
have decided to incorporate in the platform
approved at the Newcastle Conference an
English tenants' right bilk This decision
is one of tbe most important steps that the
responsible chiefs of the party have ever
taken. The question of ameliorating the
position of British farmers by giving them
greater security for their capital and free
dom from harassing covenants imposed by
landlords has long been recognized as ripen
ing toward Liberal legislation.
The magnitude of the Liberal victory in
South Molton and the conviction that the
capture of the rural vote by the Liberals
will lead them to overwhelming success in
the general election have lifted the measure
in favor of tenant farmers into the front
rank of Liberal proposals. This resolution
on the part of Liberals has been hastened by
the movement of Conservatives in the same
direction.
A Surprising Change or Heart.
The history of Ac Conservative party
THE DISTRESS IS TtUSSlA 3IIGRATIOX
presents no change more surprising or more
sudden than that which has occurred on the
English land question under a dread of
what would happen to the landlords'
interest through an uprising of laborers
and farmers under liberal banners. Since
the South Molton election many Tories
are advocating the adoption in England of
the principles of the Irish land purchase
act The laborer must have power to ac
quire small plots of land cheaplv and
through simple methods, and the State
must also assist farmers to become owners
after a certain number of years without
pavinir more than thetinstomaryTenJar
This was the tenor of the speakerVopin
ions at an informal gathering of influential
Conservatives at the Carlton Club on
Wednesday, and it has since been commun
icated to Lord Salisbnry, with an additional
appeal from a number of party agents to the
effect that if English land legislation pre
cede everything else at the next session of
Parliament and a measure be presented ac
ceptable to the agricultural interest, tri
umph instead of disaster will be the result
of the Government's appeal to the country.
The Uistress In the Czar's Domain.
All reports agree that the distress be
cause of the famine in Bussia continues un
abated. Such of the peasants as can do so
are emigrating from tbe afflicted districts.
In this connection it is announced that the
British Government will send a delegate to
the International Conference on Emigration,
which opens in Paris on Wednesday next.
The delegate is charged simply to watch the
proceedings of the conference.
Major Fred Brackett, special foreign
agent of the United States, will attend the
conference under orders from the Treasury
Department at Washington. Jules Simon
will preside and the conference will last
four days. The delegates will go to Havre
to inspect the vessels engaged in carrying
emigrants and the general arrangements for
the accommodation of emigrants.
Secretary Foster's instructions to Major
Brackett in defining the position of the
American Government state that the con
ference is composed of delegates from Euro
pean countries, where the chief problem is
emigration, whereas in the United States
the problem is exclusively immigration.
The Secretary adds that the Government
and: people of the United States are not
averse to the immigration of meritorious,
self-sustaining persons, but that public
opinion and the laws of the country are
crystallizing definitely in opposition to
further immigration of persons belonging to
helpless, defective and criminal classes. He
suggests that some method of effective in
spection of emigrants is desirable and that
any proper measure for preventing the im
migration of these classes will receive "the
hearty co-operation of the United States.
English Unions Taking Action.
The English trade councils have taken up a
definite position on the necessity of regu
lating the immigration of aliens. A com
mittee of the London Trades Council has
drafted a' measure for excluding aliens not
possessing individually 3, or in case of a
family, 5 between the parents and 30
shillings for each child. Idiots, lunatics
and persons affected with contagious dis
eases are prohibited by the measure. The
committee further lavors the promotion of
a bill on the lines of the United States labor
contract law.
The Attorney General, in opening the
session of the Society of Arts, appealed to
manufacturers, in their own interests, to be
fully represented at the Chicago Fair. He
referred to the efforts made in the United
States to divert British trade from South
America and other countries to American
centers, and said that the ease of access of
Chicago from Australia, China and Japan
would bring to the .Fair more traders from
those countries than had ever visited Eu
ropean exhibitions. B ith British trade and
British prestige would suffer unless the dis
play of Britisn goods rivaled anything at
the Fair. He had reason to state that the
Indian Empire would be fitly represented.
The mother country, he concluded, ought to
have a position of outstanding prominence.

the man to represent this Government as its
Minister to the Eepublio of Liberia, and
the appointment is expected to be an

from nearly every State in the Union whose
names are on file at the State Department
as applicants for the place, and a very lively
and interesting fight has been made in be
half of those who claim a following of their
people. But rumor has it that the appoint
ment will be tendered to John H. Smyth, a
colored man of the District of Columbia.
who gained some notoriety several months
ago by a speech he made in favor of a di
vision in the social relations of the black
and mulatto people of this country.
Mr. Smyth is a black man, and served
some rears ago as Minister to Liberia,
where he imbued the teaohings of Dr. Bly
den, the noted African who advocates the
supremacy of the black race unadulterated
with Caucassian blood over all others. On
account of Mr. Smyth's position on this
question which is a far more vital one than
is generallv suspected, and constantly be
fore the minds of the colored people of this
country he is being much opposed by the
leaders of the race, nearly all of whom have
white blood in their veins. His other op
position comes from those who say that he
is only a District, man, and his appoint
ment would not strengthen the administra
tion or satisfy anybody who can vote either
for a delegate to" the "National Convention
or the nominee of the Bepublican party.

ALL FAITH IN DUHAN HONESTY GONE
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia. Nov. 20. Another
Italian banker skipped to-day with a big
chunk of the funds of his confiding coun
trymen. He was Giacinto Epifanio, and
he conducted his banking business in con
nection with a steamship agency and a
jewelry store on Carpenter street .Many
hundreds of depositors lament his disap
pearance, and the amount of the cash
carted away is variously estimated at from
00,000 to $75,000.
i Epifanio was a little man, 45 years old,
with a swarthy face, a Mephistophilian
black mustache, and a prodigious, hooked
nose a person once seen never to be for
gotten. For more than biz years Epifanio had
paraded in the simple Italian colony , com

fas prominent in the Societa Italiana
Operaria, or Italian. Laborers' Society,
which has a big membership. The "good
Epifanio," the "honest Epifanio," were the
terms in which the laborers referred to
their hanker.
During the past few weeks the honest
Epifanio had been doing an unusually large
business. It was the time when Italians
scrape all their possessions togetherin order
to send money home to relatives and friends
in the sunny peninsula. Depositors crowded
themselves into the banker's office and re
garded Epifanio's acceptance of their funds
with gratitude. Some were given receipts
for their money, but they were those who
asked for them. Most of them have abso
lutely nothing to show for their deposits.
With all this money in his possession the
good Epifanio grew restless. He drank
(hard during the week, and spent a great
deal of money. His three daughters and
wife appeared in gorgeous raiment. It was
j given out that I the banker was going to
refurnish his house, and furniture wagons
were seen to drive away with the old stuff,
in order to make room for the new.
At 12.30 o'clock this morning an Italian
was returning to his home in the banker's
neighborhood, carrying a good load of mac
caroni and his native wine, when his be
wildered eyes caught an extraordinary pro
cession issuing from Epifanio's front door.
Mr. Epifanio,, Mrs. Epifanio, Master Epi

Others In Danger.
CniOAGO, Nov. 20. Beports from lake
ports show that the recent storms have been
disastrous to lake shipping. Early yester
day morning the schooner Ellen Severlson
made an attempt to run into Grand

struck the Worth Pier, dismasting
itself and went on the beach. It was bound
for Lndington, with a crew of three men.
The prompt arrival of the life-saving crew
saved the men after several hours of hard
work. The vessel, which is a total wreck,
was owned hy Nicholson & Stevenson, of

LUMPY-JAWED CATTLE.
The Question of Eating Them One More or
Decency Than or Health.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Dr. Salmon, of
Washington, Chief of the National Bureau
of Animal Industry, in an interview here
this evening said: "I cannot say positively
that I have ever known of lumpy-jawed
cattle communicating that disease, if such it
is, to other cattle or to human beings. In
fact, I do not believe that in itself lumpy
jaw could be directly communicated to
others or to human beings who ate the meat.
At the same time the disease might be com
municated indirectly. It may cause diges
tive derangement and other general
troubles.
"In many European countries the people
eat all suck meat and almost nothing is con
demned. In America the question has been
one largely of cleanliness and decency. I
should not condemn an animal with a slight
bruise which could not possibly affect the
system at large. But the trouble is caused
by a fungus, a specific organism, which de
velops in the flesh and produces a tumor.
It starts as a harmless local trouble. When
it gets to be 'a large tumor, discharging pus
and affecting the system at large, I should
condemn the animal on general principles.

s
Desperate Struggle on Hand by the Tarious
Cities Entered.
THE ODDS NOW AGAI5ST THE PAE WEST
rritOM A STAFF CORRESPOVDEVT.l
Washington, Nov. 20. The struggle
for the Bepublican National Convention
among the various anxious cities assumes
great importance. It is as though their
lives depended on having it' Cincinnati,
Chicago, San Francisco and Omaha have
been here two or three days and have
opened headquarters, and Minneapolis came
down this afternoon, several representative
dozens strong, and will have it no other
way than that the "Great Northwest" must
and will be recognized.
San, Francisco, which has offered so much,
is somewhai despondent. Her vast isola
tion is not the worst that is against her.
The all-powerful Eastern press, which has
said little bnt vhieb. means so much, and
which does" 'iwX "need 'fo- speak,' .puts the
negative seal on the golden coast. The fact
that the afternoon proceedings of a Sam
Francisco convention would not reach the
East until late at night, and the night pro
ceedings not before the following forenoon,
is quite sufficient If Sau Francisco will
guarantee that the alternoon sessions shall
be held early in the morning and the night
sessions early in the afternoon she may
gain a vote or two and be in the fight.
Cincinnati Not Considered in It
Cincinnati is confident, but with little
basis. It is a hot city and the -hotel accom
modations are poor. It was a good enough
city when conventions were lesser affairs
than they are now, but its day is past That 1
is the outside talk, at least, and more than
one Ohioan admitted to-day that Cincin
nati is out of the question.
Interested outsiders object to Minneapo
lis, not only on account of its distance, but
its laok of sufficient hotel room, even in
conjunction with St Paul, and its meager
telegraph facilities, compared with Pitts
burg, Chicago or New York.
Indeed, it seems to be a conviction here
that the influences of the party in this city
will tend to concentrate the fight in the
National Committee on Chicago and New
York, and as the former city has had it
several times already, there are sporting
politicians ready to bet that the committee
will decide to go gunning for a candidate
right in the lair of the Tammany tiger.
The Dispatch correspondent is in
formed this evening that New York is be
ing seriously, though very qnietly, dis
cussed among the delegates, and for very
weighty reasons. New York must be car
ried next year or Bepublican success will
hang upon a very Blender thread. It would
be a compliment to the Empire State, and
the influence ot it would be felt not only
there but in precious little Connecticut as
welL
Free Silver Not an Unknown Factor.
Western and Southern delegates would
like to visit the great commercial, financial
and population metropolis of the country,
and more delegates would probably be
pleased with its choice than with any
other, though the free coinage fanatics
might object to the possibility of Wall
street influences, and the Democrats would
probably try to use that fiction in the cam
paign. There is still another consideration that is
urging the members of -the committee to'
look on New York with favor, and that is
that if the Bepublican Convention be held
there the tendency will be to hold the Dem
ocratic Convention there also, to counteract
the influence of the other. To hold the
Democratic Convention in New York would
be to aggravate every embittered feeling be
tween the Cleveland and Hill, he Tam
many and anti-Tammany factious, And
would precipitate such a fight as would be
vastly to the advantage of the Bepublicans,
and probably actually win a victory for
them in the State.
Colonel Elliott F. Shepard and several
other New Yorkers are here, and many
otner aistiuguisneuKepumicans ot tne state
will be on to-morrow, and after they have
used all of the foregoing arguments they
will clinch the whole matter by saying:
"A Bepublican Congress refused to give us
the World's Fair. Will a Bepublican Na
tional Committee refuse to give us the Na
tional Convention?"
The Leaders Keeping Very Quiet
So far as the leaders are concerned, they
keep entirely mum. That they. have an
idea, and a very big one,, is apparent, but
what it is no" fellow can find out That
Harrison is pulling in some direction is
certain. He never keeps his hands off a
matter like this. He feels sure of the nom
ination. What he wants is to feel sure of
the election. He believes that he has
squelched the Blaine movement, and he is
determined to put the convention where it
will do the most good for Harrison at the
election.
That Clarksoh and Harrison will pull to
gether is well understood. Clarkson is for
some reason much more of a Harrison
man "now than he was a few months ago.
He will be elected Chairman of the National
Committee, will work for Harrison, and
will send the convention where Harrison
wants it, if he can. Before the matter is
decided, however, there will be a gTeat
fight, next to the fight in the convention
itself, and one unprecedented in a matter
apparently of such trivial moment. For
the time it quite overshadows the Speaker-

CANDIDATES AFTER
SUPPORT.
Wbat the AUIancevxpects to Be Able to
Do A New Feature in the Fight for the
Clerkship at tho House An Indiana
Man in It
WASHINGTOSNov. 20. Special The
Democrat contest for the Speakership nomi
nation, which was beginning to take form
early in the weekhas been side-tracked for
a few days to make. room for the Bepubli
can contest for the location of next -year's
convention. Three of the can idates, more
over, Messrs. Mills, Crisp and Springer are
in New York, doing missionaj r work. The
feeling is abroad that in sora j manner the
New York delegation, which generally
votes as a unit, will control the situation,-
and so the eyes of all the candidates are
turned anxiously toward the Empire Statc
. The representations from- Indianapolis
that the Alliance will nominate a candidate
for" Speaker have made much impression
among the friends of the regular Democratic-candidates.
Such action has been
foreshadowed for some time in the utter
ances of Jerry Simpson and President Polk,
and has therefore been fully discounted. A
suggestion has been thrown out that Colonel
Livingstone, of Georgia, would be the choice
of the Alliance, but it appears that he is
not encouraging the movement, and some
warmer representative will probably be
named.
The candidate who would suffer most by-
the independent action of the Alliance is
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri He has been pre
eminently the advocate of the agricultural
interests, and expects to secure support
from them.
No one has been able to tell what per
centage of Democratic Congressmen elected
L with the assistance of the Alliance will
join with that element and separate from
the regular Democrats on the Speakership
issue. Jerry Simpson estimates that 40
Democrats were elected by the Alliance,
and that 2C of that number will reciprocate
bv caucusing with the Alliance. This claim
is laughed at by the other candidates, and
the most that is conceded to the Alliance is
11 votes.
Ex-Congressman Dalton, of Indiana,
formerly Postmaster of the House, has ac
tively entered the field as a candidate for
Clerk of the House. He has had his eye on
the place for a long time, but has kept his
candidacy in abeyance, out of respect to the
Indiana movement to make Mr. Bynnm
Speaker. The new turn of affairs, however
the appointment of Mr. Gibson as Senator
from Maryland has brought Mr. Dalton to
the front actively, an indication that
Indiana will take what it can get, even if it
is not a Speakership.
Ex-Congressman Turner, of New York,
the latest addition to the list of candidates
for the doorkeepership. is energetically
looking after new arrivals, and has taken a-
leaning position in tbe race for the place.
A Bullion Blockade Broken.
Tamfico, Met., Nov. 20. Special.
The bullion blockade which has been in
effect for the past month has been broken,
and the 32,400 bars of silver accumulated
here are being exported as rapidly as facili
ties will permit This delay of bullion
shipments was caused by the Monterey
smelters refusing to nay the Government
charges of 58 made for the assavin? of evenr
bar exported. The assay charges have now
been reduced to jj lor every 135 marks.
This result is not entirely satisfactory to
the smelters, but they must accept-the
hardship for the present

HIS HOBBY- IS FALLOT REFORM.
The-lfoted Democrat Tails Freely of th9
Kexf Sational Contest.
HE SBBS-N0NEW FIELD FOE HIS PAKTX
Ex-United States Senator Wallace, of
Clearfield, Pa., left Pittsburg on the fast
line at 8:10 last night for Philadelphia.
Senator-Wallace came to Pittsburg early on.
Thursday morning and stopped at tho
Seventh Avenue. His visit, was purely a
business one, and during his stay he had
few if any callers. Yesterday Senator
Wallace was closeted for three hours with
J. M. Gnffey. The remainder of the day
he spent with his old friend and political
champion, Peter Tierce, the Allegheny
banker.
Time has touched the ex-Senator with a
kindlyhand. He looks stronger and better
physically than he has appeared for a
decade. The evidences of worry and cars
that formerly marked his features have
worn away with the years, and his positive
striking face, which formerly seemed a
trifle pinched, ha3 broadened until it
is round" and fat He is growing
a double chin, which seems to improve hit
appearance. His sandy hair is liberally
sprinkled with white, but his sandy side
whiskers, sinee early manhood one of hij
striking features, are as red as ever.
Win Figure Again in Politics.
The Senator has not, for- soma years, ap
peared personally in politics. His friends
refuse to allow him to remain in seclusion,
however. It is highly probable that he will
take an active part in the next national
fight, but he says he is now givir-g his un
divided attention to his extensive business
enterprises. Since his late financial em-
Ez-Senatar WiUiam A. Wallace.
barrassment he ha3 been relieved of many
pressing burdens and he 13, his
friends say, placing himself on a
more substantial business basis .than he
has held for years. When his bank at
Clearfield failed he made the widows and
the financially distressed depositors pre
ferred creditors, and what money remained
after the crash was paid out to those who
suffered most by the failure. All the Sena
tor's property was turned over for the use
and benefit of his creditors, and his affairs
are shaping themselves' so that he will be a
rich man after the wreck is cleared away.
Many of his Western enterprises, in
tbe shape of gold and silver mines,
which were not profitable and in
the development of which the Sen
ator crippled himself personally,
have been disposed ot His investments in
Clearfield county have been retained, and
as these are generally good they are grow
ing in value and will pay all debts, and th
Senator says will leave him comfortable
besides.
The Ex-Senator Is Non-Commlttal.
"Who will be the Democratic candidato
for President?" was asked the Senator.
Now, man, that is a pointed question.
You must remember that I am not in poli
tics. I am making a mighty effort to get
out of an ugly financial hole, and lam let
tine the others look after the politics."
"But your opinion would be of interest.
Senator?"
"Ah, well, I have not yet formed an opin
ion on that important question, was his
reply. "However," he went on, "the can
didate of our party will be determined by
the course and policy pursueoJby the Dem-
dcratic majority in the next National House
of Bepresentatives. If our party is judicious
they will adopt a policy that in it
self will determine who shall be
the candidate. We have several
available men. No, Boise, of Iowa, is not
one of them. Because he carried his State
in two successive campaigns on a local tem
perance issue does not make him available)
for a Presidental contest.
"I contend," the Senator went on, "that
there is absolutely no new field for the
Democratic party. The fight must be made
just where it has been made for tire past 20
years. New York, New Jersey, Connecti
cut and Indiana are the States wlrere we
must make the battle, and our candidato
must be able to carry these States if he
hopes to win. We must not go wandering
after strange god. The condition is before
us and we must name a candidate in har
mony with that condition-.'
"Who would be such a candidate?"
"I repeat Congress must by its course and
policy determine that."
"Will you be a candidate for any publia
office?"
Wants to Re-Enter the Legislature.
"No, I think not. I have niJ hesitancy in,
saying, however, that I would like very
much to go back to the Lower House of tha
Pennsylvania Legislature during the next
term. Understand me, I do not want to gu
there to shape the policy of my
party, nor to endeavor in any way or
under any circumstances to lead
my party, but I would like to be
there to secure for the voters of the State a
satisfactory ballot system and to provide
some System that would act as a screen be
tween the illiterate and the ballot. Penn
sylvania is absolutely suffering from the
flood of illiteracy that is coming in upon it
from other countries. I would not hesitate
a moment to take, the. stump in
advocacy of compulsory education, not
the compulsory education that
is sometimes agitated, but for a qualifica
tion that would compel foreigners to read
and write before they are1 allowed to vote.
Iwould favor the enactment of a law that
would enable the authorities t$ say to this
foreigner when he is 1G or 13 years old,
'You must learn to Tead find write
else vou cannot exercise thericht of the
ballot' That, I think, would be, a spur in
the head of the young foreigner, and that I
think would act as a screen between the bal
lot and the illiteracy from which Pennsyl
vania, New York and other large States are
now suflering."
