If persons fail to make satisfactory settlement with the members they owe, after having been uotified, that is their fault, not the members’, and they have no right to complain if their mame is put om record as being that of a person unworthy of credit. I propose to pro- tect our members and will place on record the pames of all persons reported to me as not paying their bills and furnish acopy of the record to all members, that they may know to who credit should be refused. None but dishonest persons will take offense at re- ceiving notice of their obligation tos member of this union. (iL SERVICE” EXAMINATION QUESTIONS Cirtuattern mond 10 cents te o BW. FLYNN, AM.

The Contest for the Speakership of the Next House. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CANDIDATES ALREADY— NAMES OF SOME OF THOSE IN THE FIELD— WILL IT BE A NORTHERN OB A SOUTHERN » MAN? The contest for the speakership of the next House starts at once, and there aro enough candidates in the field to make it lively. There is no warrant for the statement that Mr. Mills of Texasis not a candidate. He isa candidate, and his friends will work for him with great confidence and enthusiasm. He will probably have a stronger support in the north and east than a casual observer would oxpect. During the past two campaigns he has been on the stump north of the Mason and Dixon line s great deal, and he has thus become better known thero than heretofore. During the campaign just closed some conspicuous demo- cratic gains have been made in places where he has been talking tariff, and this will be argued in his favor. He is said to have made quite an impression on the democrats of Massachusetts, Still, the reputation which has long been given him of being a “fire cater” is apt to do him some harm in the contest, justly or unjustly. The declaration coming from Mr. Blount of Georgia that he will be a candidate is a sur- prise, and not very pleasant surprise toa great body of democrats. Hiscandidacy is not regarded as important except inasmuch as it splits the Georgia delegation and complicates e situation by putting two candidates in the fieid from that state, He will probably not be able to carry more than one of his own delega- tion witn him, and certainly cin have no chance of election, but his candidacy shows his disposition to fight Crisp, who is at this time the most talked of candidate, and who is generally acknowledged to be the most avail- able and best equipped democrat for the place, Bynum of Iudiana, Springer of Illinois, Hatch of Missouri, MeMhllin of Tennessee and probably others are more or less in the fight, and Wilson of West Virginia, while he has not declared himself a candidate, 18 regarded as a man who would certainly be in the lead should Crisp’s strength fall short of what is expected, ‘The tremendous majority, involving as it docs the entrance of so many men into Congress who have not been there before and who are not well enough acquainted with the men who are candidates to select from them at once, brings an element of very great uncertainty into the contest, and the time during which it will be waged, between now and the meeting of the Fifty-second Congress, will not be too long for the candidates who want to get their claims well presented. ‘The House will have in it almost as many northern democrats as it will southern, and there isa sentiment in favor of a northern Speakor if one pre-eminently qualified for the place can be found. But from tie nature of things, their service being longer as a rule and their election generally under different cir- cumstances, the most of the very good speaker- ship material is to be found among the south- ernmen, The contest starts off with many advantages on the side of Crisp or Wilson, THE PEOPLE DID IT. What Representative Wilson of West Virginia Says of the Election. Representative Wilson of West Virginia spoke of the election with considerable satisfaction to a Srax reporter this morning. He said that the result showed that confidence might be placed in the people, as final resort, to ap- prove the right and put the seal of their con- demnation upon those who attempt usurpation of powers and disregard public interest. As to the presidency be said he had no doubt that Mr. Cleveland held the heart of the dem- ocratic party, but he could not predict what would come out of the present situation. ENTHUSIASTIC FOR CLEVELAND. “The mention of Cleveland’s name on the stump,” he said, ‘always calls foran enthu- siastic response. I often avoided mentioning his name becaus: it might look like a bid for applause—a cheap way to get applause for myself. “There was one place I was making a speech. It was very dark. I could not see the faces of those to whom I talked. Icould just see the dark forms standing motionless and silent. Yhey might have been stumps or clum) of bushes. I could not teil whether I was heard or heeded, Then | thought I would sce if there was any life in them. I asked if they wanted to keep the dis- trict in its old place in the democratic line. I asked them if they wanted to join with the states who would give their votes to sustain the democratic party and Grover Cleveland. At the mention of Cleveland’s name a shout went up from every throat and the, tumult lasted for many minutes. They were not stumps, The name of Cleveland never fails to arouse a dem- ocratic audience.” NOT DEPENDENT ON NEW YORK. What Senator McPherson Says of the . Democrati: Sweep. Senator McPher on was in the city today and tulked at,som- length to a Stak reporter on the subject of the democratic victory. He said that when the principles and traditions of the country were trampled upon, when the wishes of the people were disregarded and extra- ordinary power put in the hands of one man, when extravagant expenditures were resorted to, extraordinary pension measures passed (giving pensions to those who did not de- serve them), when a _ heavy increase of taxation was imposed upon the Reople, while they were demanding a re- uction, if anything; when all these things had happened it was to be expected that the people would rise up as a body and rebuke the party responsible for it. Speaking of the presi- dential situation as affected by the result he said: “The field is broadened; all clouds of doubt and anxiety are cleared a’ the atmos- pe is cleared. We have carried Michigan, isconsin and Illinois, We can go to the great west for our candidate or we can go to Massa- chusetts with great propriety. We can go any- where, almost, in the country to get our can date. The field is broadened, We are not dependent upon New York and disturbed by her local quarrels. If they will not settle their differences we are not obliged to go to New York tor our President.” THE POST OFFICE SITE, But Few Appearances and Answers Made Today. In the condemnation proceedings for the post office site this is the fina] day for filing an- swers to the order of publication to the owners and occupants of the square. Up to2o'clock but few appearances and answers had been filed. These were of Augustus Lepreux by 8. J. Aiken; G. 8. Fogle, Helena Hartung and Andrew Wood by Leon Tobriner; R. R.
