Ordinarily this class of literature is adrog on the market Other than the gems which fell from the lips of Congressmen anxious to be returned, not moch of it is used In the way of public en- lghtenment. In @ Presidential year, how- ever, the market booms. Tne people are stuffed with Congressional campaign speeches. The mails are burdened. Armies of clerks are at work ‘‘circulating the docu. ments. THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. In our own city both parties have agen- cles. The democrats on F street, near the Ebbitt House, under the charge of James E. Harvey, formerly of the defanct Patriot. Here are daily employed three clerks, aud an additional force of sixteen is at work at the Capitol. The documents more notice- ably circulated by this committee is the 8) of Re; tative Hewitt, of New ‘ork, in reply to Kasson’s, of lowa, attack on Tiiden; the 6; of Senator Davis on defalcatious in the Treasury Department, and several of the speeches on different topics made by Senators Thurman and Bayard. The reply of Ben. Hill to Blaine on the amnesty question is seatonly South. This committee has performed an arduous labor; has circulated upwards of @ million documents. “Tbe more recent advices re- ceived by the committee are quite cheerfal,”’ said one of the clerks; “two weeks ago we felt @ little blue, but for the past ten days the tide in the west has been drifting to our side. We shall carry Indiana — good majority, and possibly Ohio.” ‘nose in charge of the agency have advices from Wisconsin which they deem hopefully en- couragi THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTRE is headed by Judge Edmunds, our city post- iter. ie general headquarters is on F street, between 9th and 10th streets. Over forty clerks labor from early in the morning until late at night mailing to all quarters of the United States ‘bes, reports, Goancial exhibits,&c. The list of republicans in each city, village and hamlet is furnished by the postmasters, and in this manner is the com- mittee brought closely in contact with a large rtion of the voters of the country. The list for the democrats are supplied by some trusty organizer In such places instead the postmasters. zany, Edmunds says it is not the policy of the committee to make public its advices and information, as it would thereby give the enemy informa- lon, but, said he, you may say ‘we have no discouraging reports; everything is en- pene The 5) es more generally cirenlated are Blaine and Garfield on the amnesty questson, Morton on southern out- rages, the report of the special committee which investigated affairs in Mississippi, Biaine’s attack on Proctor Knott, Grant's communication to Congress on tne appro- Priat‘on bills, &c.

In a little more than two months the sec. ond session of the 4th Congress will con- vene. In one essential particular the lower Rouse is without organization, having los! its Speaker in the death of Hon. M. C. Kerr To choose @ successor to the office will be the first businhss to engage the attentioa o} members. There are fouror five candidates: Milton baa ler, of Obto; Sam. J. 8. Blackburn, of Ky.; 8. x, of N Y., and Wim. R. M , Of Ill. O21 @ super- Belal glance it would seem that ler has tne foremost chance. He was the Speaker pro tempore of the last \° is @ map of brains, acute Judgment, average dignity and immence popularity. He 1 al makes and holds friends, and has no rea. enemies; and yet there are consideration» which enter into the candidacy whica may overcome all these advantages. Tne first i» that Sayler may not be elected to the 45th Cong ess. He has @ formidable competitor in Judge Force, his republican antagonist Now the selection of & Speaker for the lasi half of the 41th Congress is joined very closely in affinity with the choice which will be made for the presiding officer o the 45th. If Sayler is defeated for the next Cop ‘6, his chances for presiding over the last session of the 4ith is vir. tually Killed, and for the reason that it is safe Lo assume that whoever is chosen to fil) Ube now existing vacancy will be honored with the prospective full term Speakership, where there will be more bouors than in administering on the affairs of a deceased rec ecessor, Who had awarded all the plams ‘bis, of course, is if the democrats succeed 1n holding tne House. Sayier is poxpemgy J a in several ways. fle ts too lazy to push him: self. He don’t really care for the office, bat bas good sense enough to appreciate its honors. He would ratoer be a worker on the floor than the cusedian of the gayel. It is positively & sacrifice of his own inclinations lo have the place. Hence is he lazy as a pol- iticlan and organizer, and this very apa’ may defeathim. There are two elements of davger tobim. He wiil find formidabie op position from the hard-money democrats of the east. They like him personally, pat him on the shoulder, call him “Milt,” drink his wine, aod eat his bachelor dinners. But they Won't vote for him. Cousiderations of policy and faith with their coastituencies would not permit {t,no matter what per- sonal feelings might enter into the canvass. Then, too, there is Sunset Cox, who will be the dark phantom in Sayler’s way. Cox has bot forgotten the manner in which he was treated when he responded to John Kelly’ orders to go to St. Louis to work against Til- den. He will enter into the canvass with all the earnestness of his exuberant and hopeful pature, and will make any combination with his friends to beat Sayler, and he has @ good following who sympathize with him over the cruel fave which was doled out to him. Randall, of Pennsylvania,wants the piace. Only, however, in the contingency of a dem- ocratic House in 1877. If his ‘ty loses tne House, he would prefer to finish his work with the 4ith Congress as the small eheese. parer than to preside over its deliber- ations. He ts shrewd as @ tactician, and will make only @ ‘quiet hunt” until the fall elections develop the complexion of the body. 1f a democratic success, he will push for the prize with an sotivity waica marked the contest tncidenial to the organization of the present Coy nr He wants the Speak. ership—unlike Sayler, not only for its hon- ors, but because he likes its duties. Tae study of parliamentary law has long heen with bima specialty, and he is nervously anxious to administer it. Cox, of New York, will go into the contest with all the fire ofa Spartan youth He does bot conceal bis ambition In seeking the rize. He regards the office as one of more Toportance than any save the Presidential ebair under government. When he admin isters it, bis usually good-natured face changes intoone of mobile digaity. He is no longer *Sam” Cox, but Speaker Cox. sir. His candidacy is the Enors Seomnising for success of any in the field. He will re ceive the support of the united south, which W.Ji give him a good start. Tne aspiratious of Biackburn, of Ken- tucky, took root soon after the present House organized. Speaker Kerr fre@mently called bim to the crair. He hai a deep, tovorous bags voice, and some little expe: rience, as presiding officer in the aro Jegislature enabled him to tide over difficul- Ues in the way, and he made a goo1 impres- sion in the chair. He lost it, however, before the session closed, He had more conceit to ‘he equare inch than his smali calibre could carry, and what pularity he acquired melted away. He thinks if Cox cannot get the prize that the south will unite upon him, snd that he can then get enough northern votes to pull through. Merrison’s only claim to the chair ts that be was the close friend of the dead Speaker. He never presided durin There is pvothing about him of mien, presi- ence, or garg mental qualification which commend him for the place. He probably never thought of himself in connection with the piace until a Chicago d paper trotted bim out. If he succeeds he argues modestly that the success will be the result of availability, rather than of ability. Like Kerr he has @ good record for honesty and purity, with very bad health. 1f the republicans gain the House, Gar- held, of Ohio, will undoubtedly be the Speak- er for the 45th Congress.
