MANNING, (Wasnington Bureau of N, B, Herald) Washington, Feb, 20.~The elec- tion of Representative John Q. Til- son of New Haven as republican floor leader of the house in the next congress is practically assused by the formal withdrawal of Repre- scntative Frederick Lehlback of New Jersey, his only rival for this tmportant office.
