WasHiNgToN, November 16, —Prom: inent republicans are much in favor of the nomination of Gen. Sheridan, He has the friendship of Grant with- out having incurred the hostili'y of Grant's enemies, and it is calculated that he can get the Catholic vote, the Irish vote and the soldier vote. Sheri- dan’s military career might not afford much clue to his presidential policy, but it would enable cempaiga orators to wake much enthusiasm and become very eloquent without committing themselves hopelessly on the issues of the day. One of the growing issues is taniff, a ary matter, the statistics of which it takes a good deal ofjpaticuce and industry to understand and campaign orators would be plad enough to get away from advalorem and taxation and the relation of cost to profit, and send Farly whirlivg up the Shenandoah, or fight over again the battle of Winchester, subse- uent to Sheridan’s arrival on the fleld. There is, by ths way, a strong prospect that congrees this winter will perpetuate the grades of general and lieutenant general. Sach action would be graufying to Sheridan and Han- cock, the two most popular officers in the service, and more litely to be gratified because each is closely tden- tified with one of the great political parties. e VEST PULLED DOWN. A LIVELY INTERVIEW WITH THE MIS- SOURI SENATOR. Special t) the Cincinnati Commercial, WasniNgToN, November 14,—The Oritic has the following interview with Senator Vest: “Colonel,” said the reporter, ‘it looks as though the democrats had made a clean sweep in Miesouri this time except in the Ninth congressional district, where it appears that Dr., McLean, ra)mblinan, has beaten Col. Broadhead.” “Yes, and I think Col. Broadhead is elected. That seemed the general impression when I left St. Louis Sat- urdsy night. However, if Broadhead is beaten, he can attribate it tp two causes only, to-wit: The liberal use of money by McLean, who has an axe to grind in congress, and the unusual stupidity of the St, Louis Republican, which paper took occasion tu make an unwarranted attack upon Larry Har- rigan, the democratic nomines for sheniff. This attack cost Broadhead six hundred votes at one voting pre- cinet alone, Ii simply shows the folly “‘Senator, whom do you thiuk the Missouri delegation will favor for speaker of the Forty-eighth congress?” “‘Carlisle, of Kentucky, Every member from Missouri is in favor of him save one.” ““Who is he?” “When I say one I mean Judge Buckvoer. I say this because he has always been a warm supporter ot Sam Randall. Ido not know, however, that Judge Buckner will support Mr. Randall this time, T do know that if he does he will do it in opposition to the wishes of those who elected him,” “Why do you favor Mr. Carlisle, Senator, for speaker, as I take it you do, from what you say?’ “Bocause he is a broad-gauge man Qarlislo is a man who is not hampered by any narrow views on any eubject He ig a man who is libaral and con- eervative on all questions. He is a man of large brain and is not at all vain in anything, He wil), if elected spoaker, aud he will ba as sure as he lives, 80 form his commitiees as to give satisfaction to all sections, where- as, if Sam Randalt were to be chosen, he would do as he has done in the past, organize the house com- mittees in the interest of a high pro- tective tariff and the monopolies of the the country, which would resultin the defeat of the democratic party in 1884 You will observe ghat Mr. Randall, in the formation of his committees in the forty-fourth sud forty-sixth con- gressea, 80 organizad thom as to com- plotely disgust tho people, sud not only lost the house, but the presi- dency, by hizs bull-headedness in the iterest of eastern monopolies How- ever, I do not think it is necessary to discuss the speakorship, for the reason that I am satistied that Carlisle will get it on the first ballot in the demo cratic czuous.” ‘Well, senator, what about other offizers of the house! *“I think Johu G. Thompson, of Ohio, will be sergeant-at-arms. He ought to have it. He has don man service for the party, and who do the work are the men who ovght to bs rewarded.” “Who have you in your miad for clerk, senator?” ““Well, the organization of the house beloags to members of the house and not to senators, but I would, in the matter of the selection of clerk @8 in other ofticers, euggest that all aections be properly represented and, of papers being a little too previous, ’r(,m 3 p the Georgia, for doorkeeper, and the poste master from the Pacific coast, there could not ba any grumbling as hére. tofore. Besides, all sections would be properly represented in the organiza- tion of the house. You will observe that the east has but a small number of democratic membera blect. As near as can__estimate she has, counting Maryland and Dslaware, 47 members, as follows: Massachusetts 3, Connecticut 3, New York 21, New Jersey 3, Pennsylvania 2, Delaware 1, Maryland 4. The weat has 57, as follows: California 6, Nevada 1, Towa 4, Illinois 9, TIindiana 9, Michigan 6, Wisconsin 6, Ohio 13, West Virginia 3, The southwest has 30, a8 follows: Kentucky 9, Tennes see 8, Missouri 13. The south has 93, as fcllows: Alabama 8, Arkansas b, Florida 2, Georgia 10, Kentucky 9, Louisiana 5, Mussissippi 5, Missour: 13, North Carolina 7, South Carolina 6, L'ennesseo 8, Texas 10, Virginia 5. So you will see that by choosing the officers of the Forty-eighth congress from the atates I have indicated, jus- tice will be done to all.” “‘Well, senator, dropping the or- gouization of the house and coming to another importent political question, T desire to have your opinion as to who is most likely to be the demo- cratic nominee for president. In other worde, do you not think if Mr. Cleveland, governor-elect for the state of New York, makes a reasonably good governer and keeps the two wiogs of the democratic party to- gether, thereby preserving harmony, that he will be a very formidable man for the nomination?”’ “If he does as you suggest, ho is as good as nominated now.” ““What about ¥ice president? How will Joo McDonald, of Indiana, do?” “‘Splencid. I had rather vote for Joe McDonald for president than any man in the United States, [ think he would make the best president we have had for years, but 1f Cleveland does as you indicated a while ago, nothing can prevent his nomination and election. ~ With him or Joe Mec Donald for president and Carlisle for speaker the democracy would hold the country for fifty years. It would mean the dawn of another and new democracy, a democracy in full accord with the age and day in which we live--a progressive and broad-gauged policy.” CAPITAL NOTES. 8pecial Dispatch to Tir Brx.

Lincoln Spec al to St. Louis Globe-Democrat ““The next session of the legislature will be a lively one,” ssid a prominent republican politician to The Globe- Democrat correspondent this morning ““Why do you think sof”’ was asked. ‘‘Because it is composed of somo very lively material, aud, more than that, it is a mixed legislatore, com- posed of republicans, democrats, anti- monopolists and independents Should the democrats and unti-monopolists combine they can con’tol both houser; on the other hand, should the demo- crats vote with the reoublicans, or the anti-monopolists with the republicans, in either oase in fusion party will wield the balance of power.” “Ts it not genersily believed that the democrats snd anti-monopolists will unite againat the republicans?”’ ““In the matter of ratlroad legisla- tion no dount they will; also, on all matters touching the fiuances of the state.

Talk With A Man Who Ought to Know all About the Busiueas, Timothy C. Eastman on the Past, Present and Fatare of the Trade 1 to S8 Louls Republican, New Youk, November 14.—The New York Times published this morn- ing a dispatch from Chicago charging that Timothy C. Eastman and others wore ondeavoring to hurt the western trade in dressed beef. Mr. Eastman, who was the pioneer in the business of exporting Amerioan beef, and who now supplies nearly overy large town in Eagland, was asked to-night wheth- or he is concerned, as has been ro- ported, in the present movement to stock the market of New York with western dressed beef, Mr. Eastman said: The business of selling western dressed beef bogan six or eight years 2% | oach car load at 20,000 pounds ago in New England in a small why, and was gradually increased until it 7| drove the butchera and drovers out of nearly all the towns in that section, There were two firms engaged in it Swif. Bros,, and Hammond. These two firma have recently begun opera. tions in Now York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore and Paterson, They secure THEIR MAIN ADVANTAGE By getting cheaper freight from the ratlrond companies than was given to the drovers, The live cattle were always bought at so much per pound actual weight, The railroad com nies have been charging for dressed beef 80 much por car load, estimating The fact is that tho shippers of dressed bref have been putting from 23,000 to 30,000 pounds of dressed beef into a car, They thus got free freight on from 3,000 to 10,000 pounds,” “How did the railroad companies permit themselves to be over-reached in_this war!" “‘They winked at it to get the busi. vess. It is not at all unlikely that this unfair dircrimination against the shippers of live cattlo will be stopped when the railroad companies charge the full price for dresscd beof shipped, and also for the ice carried, which amounts to 2,000 pounds per car and for fhe extra weight «f the refrigera- ter cava, The cost of bringing dressed beef to thiy market will be little lpas, if uny, than that of bringing live cattle.” “‘Will not the inorease of freight raise the price of beef!" “Not nccessarily, The price of beef Is governed by the crop ot corn. When there is a good crop BEEF 18 CHEAP, Beef will be cheap enough next seacon, because we have had good crops this year.
