THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. Representative Wilcox Thinks the New Speaker Will Be From the North, THE DANGER TO THE PARTY FROM THE UNWIELDI- NESS OF THE MAJORITY—HE HOPES FOR DE- MOCRATIC SUCCESS THROUGH THE ALD OF THE ALLIANCE. Representative Wilcox of Connecticut is a pretty careful observer of political events from democratic point of view. Speaking of the geueral situation as a result of the election he said the democrats had good prospects for the future, but that they also had some serious responsibilities. He re- gretted that both Mills and Crisp were candi- dates for the speakership of the next Hou: Both men were deserving of the honor, and be- tween the two it was diiticult to make a ch ‘The democrats of the northwest in particalar were indebted to Mr. Mills by reason of his activity in their districts during recent c paigns.’ On the other hand Judge Crisp was admittedly the man for the place on account of his cooless under fire and his clear judicial mind. Mr. Wilcox the democrats could a on the next ‘tha in the me to handle to advantage. It ld hardly do, Mr. Wileox thought, to place man of hot’ temperament in the cl Awould be the undisputed leader of the inority and as such would perpetually ann Speaker. Mr. Mills, great as has b party, would hardly, Mr. Wilcox thought, be the man for such an emergeney. A SPEAKER FROM THE NORTH. But Mr. Wilcox was inclined to the belief that the Speaker would not be sclected from the south. He had talked, he eaid, with nota few prominent southern democrats and they agreed with him that it would be for the best to select the Speaker of the next House from the north. ‘The recent ide was made possible by a large number of northerners who hs trained with the republican party going over to the democrats throngit disgnst ut republ methods. The day was not fur distant, Wilcox thought. when the republi would be a thing of the past. ‘The be seen on every hand. Had Cleveland “been re-elected the ‘republicau party would have found its tomb. ‘(THE END OF THE REPUBLICAN Panty. “Should we elect the next President, as I be- lieve we will,” Said Mr. Wileox, “the republi- can party will cease to be an important factor in the polities of the country. ‘This third party rom the republi ks.

The probability is that they will also unite with the prohibition iste, In that case they are certain to carry a number of states, most of which, if not all, are in the northwest. They will not, in my opinion, materially affect the democratic vote in the south or east. As far as I can judge the demo- crats have reason to encourage this movement. ‘THE DEMOCRACY AND THE ALLIANOR, “A glance at the belicf of the conservative element of this embryotic party revolves a striking similarity to the tenets and doctzines of the democratic party. ‘The main issues of the alliance men are free coinage and a re- vision of the tariff. Upon both the democrats have taken the inftiative. The subtrearury scheme has the indorsement of-only a limited number of the alliance men and is not apt to be made a plank in their platform. With this out the democrats will necessarily receive much of their support, as they stand shoulder to shoulder.” new movement only adds strength to my belief that the next President will Le a democrat.” Edison Favors the Celebration. ‘Mr. J.

THE SMALL BOY DELIGHTED AND THE DEPART- ‘MENT CLERK BELATED—EARLY MORNING SCENES ON THE STREET RAILROADS—A BLOCKADE O¥ ‘THE AVENUE—INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. It was a long time coming, but when it came it was with a business-like swirl and steadiness that counted. The snow firs: began to fall about a couple of hours after midnight, and when the early risers pulled aside their curtains and looked out upon the street they realized with a shudder. from the whiteness of the streets, the trees, the air and all, that winter had arrived beyondadoubt. There wasno mistaking the style of thestorm. The flakes were of a flaky flakiness that betokened a dry froeze and gave little promise of an early thaw, such as usually comes on the heels of the first snow of a Wash- ington reason. Some of them (the flakes) wore small, but most of them were larger than a ickel piece. Some had even the eize of dollars, and floated down with dificulty. CROWDED AND BELATED. When breakfast time came the prevailing question was about getting down town, which Promised to be a-difficult task. The cars were crowded very early and the herdics were soon in a bad way owing to the smooth shoes of the horses. For some automatic reason the first snow brought good nature with it and most of those who had’ their toes trod upon in the crowded public conveyances forgot to grumble in their general admiration of the pretty white- ness, The children and the coal dealers were delighted. The former were out in force carly, making slides and enow balls and noise, while the latier did a rushing business. Street car traveling was somewhat disap- pointing. It had aslow, never-get-thereness about it that chilled the heart along with the feet. Stops were so frequent.as to cause con- stant consultation of watches, and the pros- et of never getting to destinations was so fampening in ‘places as. to ‘nearly melt the snow in spots, AN EAREY BLOCKADE. A rather Indicrous incident marked the A 14th strect car bound north, rather heavily laden with people, became stalled on the turn at the southeast corner of the treasury. The horses could not make the turn, and the driver and theconductor were helpless. One by one the cars began to accumulate in the rear, the string growing longer as the min- utes went by until it reached to 13% street. There were twenty-one cara in 1 when ut last the horses of the first one were induced to make one strong effort that carried the cat aloug over the salted. track and up the Lill.

Up to noon those who had ¢sleighs took ad- vantage of the opportunity for a sleigh ride and the merry tinkle of bells was heard on the avenue. There were sleighs of all sorts, from the neat and trim cutter to the boxed-body and ‘dry-goods box on runners, There were a few “large double sleighs with two horses, but “the most. attractive turnout was that of Senator Stanford. It i which could comforta- bly seat six perse iiwas drawn by two conl-black horses, teen hands On the sides of th: seat, and by the heads of the horses, were big purple plumes which waved and nodded with every move- ment.

A sketch of the proceedings was published in Tux Stan of Saturday, and other papers have since essayed to make plain a very interesting portion of the debate. Only the precise language of Senators Morgan and Blair can do that. The form of government in this District was under discussion and Senator Morgan said that unless there could be a limited suffrage here it would be better to let matters stay as they are. ill,” he continued, “that is offensive, very tothe sensibilities of a great many humanitarians or pretended humanitarians throughout the world, that the colored men here should not be permitted to vote. They are admitted to be the very best class of colored people in the United States, those in the Dis- trict of Columbia, the most intelligent. One of them, Fred. Dongiass, has led to the altar one of the brides of the north, and has given her great distinction in society as well asin the government by reflecting upon her the honor of bis nae and his repuiation for greatness in scholarship and otherwise. Others desire to do the same thing. They may have imore or less success; Ido not know how that will turn out to be; but surrounding us we have profes- sors in medicine, professors in law, doctors of divinity: we have men renowned throughout the world in the District of Columbia who are people of African descent. We have numbers of them here. The best African population, the wisest, the most enlightened. that existe in the world exists in the District of Columbia. “And yet all the powers of the government of the United States are leveled at them and | their race to break them out of the right of suffrage and the right of local self-government. and in order to do that the government of the United States goes still farther and disfran- chises free born citizens of the white famil Surely we cannot find an average in any com- munity of higher intelligence in the world than there is in the District of Columbia. Ido not know any congregated set of men and women on this earth, and I have never heard of any, who are superior to the white people of the District of Columbia. Men venerable for long experience, great scholarship, splenctid achieve= ments in which the whole world takes prid are disfranchised and put upon the | far ax citizenship is concerned, of p conviets under the different’ con: the United States. They are disfranchised for what? Merely because they ate the neighbors of the negroes; merely beeause they live in the same community with them: merely because the negroes can either out vote them or can infuse into their ballot bo: colored ballot as that it is unsafe to intrust property and peace and Order and law into their hands. “Oh, shume upon it, that snch bills as this |, should come up, and that such discussions as | this should be legitimate upon the tacts: and yet. in two minutes from thin time the Senate Will resound with advocacy of « different sys tem to be applied to the sta the destruction of the autono of great states: in this Union because they attempt to do the sme thing by indirection ‘which Congress 8 | placed from the shoulder and by the strong hand.” | SENATOR BLAIR'S RETORT. Senator Blair had been waiting with a little impatience for a chance to say something, and 48 soon as Mr. Morgan's voice dropped toa , the Senator from Alabama has made allusion to. the color question which | arises in this city and to that distinguis) izen of the United States and of the world, Frederick Douglass, who, ax he observed, led one of the brides of the north to the altar, con- ferring thereby great dintinction upon her and perhaps upon the section of country from which she came.

Rain was falling yesterday morning shortly before 2 o'clock and there were not many per- sons on 7th street when, about that hour, fire was discovered in the Ruppert building, corner of 7th and D streets northwest. Policeman Williams was patrolling his beat in that vicin- ity when cries of “fire” attracted his attention to the burning bailding. He turned in an alarm from box 129, which was soon responded to by the fire department. Soon after the first firemen reached the scene a general alarm was sounded, which brought out the entire force. The building is an old one and the presence of so much inflammable fanterial in. the rooms caused the flames to spread with lightning-like rapidity. In the rooms on the fourth floor, where the fire started, sleighs, hobby horses and other such articles were stored, and the Teach the room it stored and consequently nocxpiosion occurred. The work done by the firemen waa very effect- ive and the flames w ented from reach- ing lower than the third floor. LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
