They do not now propose to attempt to elect one of their own number to be Speaker, but will put their votes where they will do the most good. They may vote for one of the four candidates now in the field, or they may vote for some one else to break a dead- lock, They are in a position to exercise consid- erable influence legitimately.

When it comes to the i this is apt to tell. It is said that Ezra B. aye of Obio will vote for Reed from the first, thus -breal ley’s solid delegation. One of t! men is said to be talking very These things maxe the Maine man’s chances seem rather bright. There is not much certainty about it, however, as to take away the interest in the contest. The southern men might decide that they did not want Reed, end all sorts of things might happen. A black horse might carry off the prize the last moment, AN EXTRA SESSION A CERTAINTY. That there is tobe an extra session is gen- erally regarded by those best situated to form & correct opinion as practically settled; they re- garditas hardiy debatable. A reason urged against it is that the republicans cannot afford to take the responsibility for such a session, and have all the time wasted over contested election cases with nothing to show for i, As & fact the chances are that little, if any, of the special session will be consumed with these cases. It will be almost impossible to go through any of them in the short time that ses- sion would allow. Their settlement has noth- ing to do with the organization of the House in the start. That relates to the question of party strength, to be decided afterward. Any amount of work may be set in motion and considerable may be accomplished before any of these cases are reported from the committee on elections. In each case there are hundreds, in some thousands of pages of testimony to go over before s report can be made, and beside that, there are the arguments of the each side and all sorts of post delays. The ordinary business of the House does not have to await the decision o f these cases, THE PRESIDENT’S TRIP. He Leaves New Hampshire Amid Great Enthusiasm. Mancuester, N.H., Aug. 15.—The morning of President Harrison's last day in New England was marked by a leaden sky wiith light show- ers. Still the weather was not so bad as that attending the trip from Bar Harbor. This noon the President, Private Secretary Halford, Ex-Gov. Cheney, : ee 5 Coolidge Agent Strow of the Amos- keag mill and Agent Bourne of the Stark milf were driven through the various mill yards on a tour of inspection, which was con- fined, however, to the exterior of the buildings, dams, &c. The employes were given an opport to greetthe party and did so enthusiastically. The party was then driven to the depot and boarded the special train. Ths visitors were met by 4 GREAT CROWD ON THE PLATFORM and bya delegation from Concord composed of Hons. John T. Pierson and Wm. Mitchell of the senate, and Hons. H. W. Greene, R. M. Chamberlain, Col. Converse, J. Smith, George L. Ellsley and F. B. Kendrick of the house of representatives, e@ were also in the dele- gation Col.

Shirley of the executive council, The train departed amid the cheers of the crowd, President Harrison bowing his farewell from the platform. AT CONCORD, Coxcorp, N.H., Aug. 15.—The run from Man- chester to Concord was s quick one and was made withoutastop. Preparations for the com- ing of the President had been made in Concord Business blocks were generally decorated and flags were stretched along the driveway. The capitol and grounds presented » fine appear- ance, At the main entrance to the park was a large arch decked with the national colors sur- mounted at the center by the name of the President, The government buil at the rear of the Capi was also prettily decorated with and streamers, and the oppose the Capitol with the national colors. The President was met by Mayor Humphrey, Adjt. Gen. Ay- ling and the Grand Army posts of Concord, Penacook and West Concord acting as escorts. The party was assigned places in landaus and driven to the capitol in a drizzling rain. cham! and cordially gree’ ve Goodell, members of his council =a state officers and a large number of visiting citizens who were assembled there: Among them were Senator Chandler, Congressman Moore and General J. H. Potter. After each had been presented, the President was taken in charge by the governor and escorted to Doric hall, where New Hampshire battle flags are kept. COMRADES OF THE GRAND ARMY were introduced and pleasantly greeted by the President. The introduction of the city digni- taries followed, after which, under escort of Gov. Goodell, the President went to the repre- sentatives joint convention. The President met by President bo ache of the Senate ai aker Upton of the House and escorted tothe platform. Gov. Goodell then said: Gentlemen of the legislature: The President of the United S tates will be pleased to shake the hands of members of the legislature. The officers of the legislature began arran; ments for a personal introduction of the mem- bers. Before they could carry out their pur- ose, however, the president arose and ad- essed the legislature as follows: THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. “Before that I beg to\thank you, gentle- méh of the legislature, for the cor- dial greeting which you have extended to me. I believe the framers of all constitutions, state and national are careful to recognize and separate the executive and the legislative Sree of the govern- ment, but am sure the care- ful framers of these instruments did not have in mind an occasion like this, and that I 1y meet you here this morning as American citizens charged as ou = are-—s With responsible public luties the assurance that upon whatever lines we may differ, we stand here today having the high and consecrated __ purpose to serve the public end for which our state and national governments are organized and in our respective places to do what we can to maintain social order, to promote education and _ intelligence and to lift up first at home, that its luster ma; be seen abroad, tl ignity and honor of American citizensh: AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE ADDRESS the dense audience which filled the chamber, lobbies and galleries manifested their pleasure in the President's speech by loud applause, The joint convention was then dissolved and the house adjourned, following which came the individual introductions of the members to the President. this ceremony the crowd of people anxious to eet the President had become so great in the falls thrt it was NECESSARY TO LOCK THE DOORS.

Porrtanp, Ore, Aug. 15.—' news of the tragic death of Judge Terry at\Lathrop, Cal., Produced @ sensation in this pity. Terry's reputation is so well known here that the news of the fatal Tap ee ey pee erie excitement in this city as if it had been an affair of local HY Geir Every one almost was familiar with the sentiment of hatred Terry bore toward born of the Sharon and the justice’s late decision in thatcase. A fewdays since a San per stated that Terry had threatened to kill Bulited States Judge Matthew P. Deady, dis- trict judge, in the event he came to San = cisco to try the cases against himself and wife. Soon after the news of Terry's death reached this city a reporter called at my ‘schambersand asked him whether had heard of the threats by Terry. “No,” I have not, answered the jadge, “but they would not deter me from performing my duty. There were five in ents over Terry's head and three his wife arising from disturbance in the court in San Francisco, Had Terry not been killed I should have gone toSan Francisco very soon, but now shall await further instructions.” The Coroner’s Inquest. Srooxton, Cat., Aug. 15.—At the inquest last night over the body of Judge Terry no new facts were developed. A number of witnesses were examined, among them being the pro- prietors of the hotel at Lathrop. The coroner's ey, returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from the effects of gunshot wounds inflicted by David Nagle at Lathrop. aha donde IOWA REPUBLICANS, Hutchinson Nominated for Governor— The Platform Adopted. Des Mores, Iowa, Aug. 15,—The republican state convention resumed ite session this morn- ing at 10 o'clock. On the twenty-fifth ballot Mr. Hutchinson was nominated for governor. This was followed by wild enthusiasm, the waving of flags and long prolonged cheers. When order was restored each of che candi- dates was brought to the convention and made a brief h, The convention then ballotted for lieutenant governor with the result that Poynes was chosen on the second ballot.

When Congress meets, the middle of October or the Ist of November, they will probably elect a Speaker and other officers of House without much difficulty, Then will follow the appoint- ment of committees, which usually takes some time, and, under the present circumstances, may be attended with considerable embarrassment. It may take two weeks to accomplish this, and meanwhile the only thing that can be taken up will be the question of rules. The fight over the rules that is promised might take such a turn as to consume the entire time of the spe- cial session; but it would not hurry matters any to start later, and if the rules are going to give so much trouble there is the more reason for an extra session. When the committees are appointed and can fet towork on the various matters that come efore them others may be ready to report be- fore the committee on elections is, and the House will not be inactive while that commit- tee is at work. If the republicans organize the House and set the committees at work, and do no more during the extra session, they cannot be fem with waste of time, hen the contested election cases come up in the House the committee on ways and means and other committees can be at work preparing their measures, DEMOCRATS THREATEN TO FILIBUSTER. But if the quiet threats of democrats mean anything there is a great possibility of nothing being accomplished at either the special or the regular session. A conservative man who is al- ways well informed as to democratic affairs in Congress expressed the opinion to a Star repor- ter today that whether Congress met on th November or at the regular time the ment would not occur until by law it expired om the 4th of March, 18: thet is, that there would be no adjournment between ses- sions, He went on further to say that the demo- crate would take the Sullivan- Felton case of the last Congress as a precedent and would fili- buster inst the unseating of any of their party. ‘This opinion is base: ‘upon what prom- iment eae of the party tell him of their ion. THREE CASES CLOSE AT HAXD. It is expected by the democrats that when the House is organized and the committee on elections formed the republicans will propose the first thing to take up the three cases that are close at hand and promise the most speedy settlement—those of Mudd against Compton, Maryland, and McGinnis aguinst Alderson ad Smith against Jackson in West Virginia, In these cases there are but small majorities to and they might be dily settled. ig the majority in the House by six to atart with, It is understood by democrats that this plan will be resisted if proposed and that those cases will be filibustered against in com- mittee.
