Uncertainty as to Senator Brown’s Suc- cessor—The Farmers’ Alliance, Thore is some talk of Representative Crisp going tothe Senate to succeed Mr. Brown. ‘There has been a hard fight in Georgia over the election of the legislature, which will meet next month to elect Mr. Brown's successor. The Farmers’ Alliance has been the disturbing element. Gen. Gordon is the most active candidate for the Senate in the field and ex-Senator Norwood is his most active opponent, though not a de- clared candidate for the Senate. On the start Gon. Gordon was understood to be in line with the alliance, but lately he has been making a desperate fight upon the alliance leaders and the deepest bitterness has been engendered. The Jegisiature has now been elected and at least four out of every five of the delegates and stato senators are alliance men. don’s friends still insist that he is going to be elected to the Senate, but Georgia politicians in Washington regard it as extremely doubtfal that he wiil pull through, REPRESENTATIVE CRISP A DARK HORSE. Mr. Crisp has not been a candidate for the Senate, but thare is a very general opinion that tho present situation is apt to bring about his selection asa dark horse. He is very popular in tho state and it is said that if he wants it he can get the election, Mr. Crisp is not an alliance man, but he is not as objectionable to them ag most of the other available men, The alliance of Georgia early in the session sent letters to the Georgia imembers asking them for a declaration of prin- ciples as tothe farmer issues. Mr. Crisp took issue with the alliance on the sub-treasury bill, butargued the matter with them in such a friendly and amiavle spirit that he provoked no enmity. If Mr. Crisp should be sent to the Senate it would deprive the democrats in the House of their most promising leader and the man who would, otherwise, be pretty certain of the Speakership should the democrats have the next House, POLITICAL LITERATURE. The Democratic Campaign Committee Busy Sending Out Documents. Tho democratic campaign committee are sending out about as many documents as if it were @ presidential year, They aro domg little or no other work, and they are taxed to the utmost to secure and send out all the documents that are demanded. They were not propared for such a demand as has been made upon them. The indication from the character of the requests they receive for literatura from all parts of the country shows that the interest in the tariff question is greater than it has ever been be- fore, but that there are other questions also which are interesting to the public. in all parts of the country comes a demand tor the leading speeches on the tariff and hun- dreds of thousands of documents have been sent out, and from one section and another are heavy demunds for literature on silver, the election bill and land questions, TUE TARIYY REFORM LEAGUE. Besides what the campaign committee is doing the tariff reform league is sending cut an immense amount of literature, As far as the democrats are concerned literature is ail they have to give. They say they have no money stall and are conducting a purely edu- cational campaign, 4 delay of tinal action on the tariff bill prevented the democratic campaign book Irom being got out on time. It could not be issued until the tariff fight was over in Con- gress, and now it is pretty late to be of general use in the campaign, It has been prepared by young Carhsle, son of the Senator, and is regarded as one of the finest books of the sort ever got up. It will probably be issued the first of next week. —— THANKING THE SPEAKER. Not Customary to Do It Until the End of His Term. A number of papers since Congress ad- journed have been drawing attention to the fact that the House failed to pass resolutions of thanks to Speaker Reed before finally taking its departure. Different papers, according to the political light which illumiuated their pages, have criti- cised either the House or Mr. Reed for this in- action, but nearly all have taken it for granted that it has been the uniform practice for the House to thauk the Speaker at this time. Ac- cording, however, to the facts in tho case Mr. Reed has not been neglected in the slightest. It has been the uniform practice ty pass resolutions expressing the admiration and respect of the Houee for the Speaker at the end of his term of office and not atthe end of the first session of the Con- gross, In tho Senate the practice has been different. In the Forty-sixth Congress there were three sessions, but no resolution of thanks was passed for the Speaker (Mr. Randall) un- tilthe very end of the Congress. The same thing 18 true of the Forty-seventh Congress. Mr. Carlisle was likewise not thanked for his work in the Forty-eighth House until the end of the Congress. Exactly the same thing oc- curred in the Forty-ninth Congress, Mr. Car- lislo also being Speaker. In the Fiftieth Con- gress occurs the first instance of a Speaker ng thanked at the end of the first session. ‘This was done, it is understood, through a mis- understanding on the part of the member offer- ering the resolution. THE SOLID SOUTH. Mr. Wheeler Does Not Believe a Repub- lican Congressman Will Be Elected. Representative Wheeler of Alabama thinks the attempt to pass the election bill will result in the lection of a solid democratic delegation from the south, He said to a Sran reporter today that he thought they would gain one member in Tennessee, one or two in Kentucky, two in Marsiand, one in Louisiana; in fact as many as there now are southern republicans, “fe thought they would make gains in the west also, THE OLD DOMINION CAMPAIGN. A Virginia Democrat Says His Party Will Carry All the Districts But One. A prominent Virginia democrat who en- deavors to keep posted as to the politics of the state said to a STAR reporter today that he was confident that the democrats would carry every district in the state except that now repre- sented by Mr. Bowden and even in that district there are two republican candidates.
