In the drawing of seats in Congress
Tuesday the North Carolina mera-
iers had average success and secured
tolerably good seats considering the
chance game. x
Mr. Henderson was very lucky.
Heretofore he has had to get well
Awards the back rows, but today he
cured a seat in the frout row al
.sejost immediately in front of the
Upeaker. Col. Cowles, fared much
t?orse. He was among: the last
4igached and selected a place away
$und in the extreme right hand east
corner of the Democratic side. He
' luas been in that part of the hall be--lre.
Messrs. Bunn and Branch-were
-iirly lcky. They will sit beside
C&ch other a little in front of Messrs.
Wise and Lester, of Virginia, nnd
llr. Crawford, of North Carolina, is
lij Ihe same locality, just in the rear
3fthe seat reserved for Mr, Buchanan,
Virginia. Virginia and North
5pirolina members are pretty well
lynched on that side of the hail, and
-viere a majority of the Democrats
safe located. In their vicinity, also,

THE SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT,
-
Note. After the Great Cancua Conte-t
Crip'a 8pech.
The two hours' interval hflwM-n
the adjournment and reassemhliii
of the caucus was industriously util
ized by tha candidate and their
managers. Messrs. Springer and
McMillin held a hasty conference, ami
surwequently dined together, with
the result that they decided to a-f
together in the termination of the
contest should it becoaie inevital.lf
that either Mr. Crisp or Mr. Mills
must be electt d.
At 7.30 p. m., Mr. Springer and his
twel vestnrdy supporters held a secret
conference, at which Mr. Springer
thanked bis followers for their loyal
supDort and stated his belief that
either Mr. Crisp or Mr. Mills must be
"elected. "You gentlemen have been
loyal to me," he said ; "you have
made sacrifices for me, and it is uow
my time to be loyal to you . I am
prepared now to throw my influence
and vote for either of the candidates
that you gentlemen may desire to
support as a unit. And I will do that
with a positive, understanding witli
the man we may elect that I want
nothing, that 1 ask nothing for myself,
but that my friends must be weil
treated. A pplause. J I leave you
now, gentlemen, to decide upon the
candidate you desire to support as
your second choice, and my vote and
influence is at your disposal."
After Mr. Springer's withdrawal
tine. delegation discussed briefly the
qulestions of policy and finally decided
they would not avail themselves
of r. Springer's generosity, but that
they (would leave hi n entirely ftve
to yote as hedfwm d on the decisive
candidate, and that they would each
do the lsamt. 1 --
Froml now on Mr. Springer was
greatly in demand. He was in turif
iuiportunVd by Mr. Crisp, by Con
gressman Vohnson, of the Mills fol
Towing, knli Col. C. H. Jones, editor
Lof the SlLouis Republic, but the
amount of sc)lace and encouragement
he'gave, either or any of them could
not be learned. That most of Mr.

of the evenijg was awaited
breathless interest. i
"t A'
The first change came when ?t3e
name of Durburow, one of :Ml
Springer's Illinois supporters, wa
reached. That gentleman voted fo
Crisp, and a few minutes later? an
other of Mr. Springer's HUnq
friends also voted for the Georgi
candidate. Messrs. Babbitt and Mi
ler. of Wisconsin, two of the othel
friends of Mr. Springer, went to th
Mills forces; so that the twenty
eighth ballot gave Crisp 103, Mills 9G
McMillin 19, Springer 8, and Steven
1. Mr. Capehart, a Mills man, wa
sick and absent from the evening
session. : Mr. Crisp was now withitf
11 votes of an election, but Mr. Md
Millin's 19 men were still unmovedf
and Ho election was ptissible whil!
they remained loyal to the Tentv
candidate.
During all this time Mr. McMill
had been holding frequent confd
ences with his colleagues, and h
left his headquarters and s.ation
himself in the lobby in the rear
the House. On the following bal
there was a change that was fraug
with ominous portent for the can
dacy of Mr. Mills. Mr. Stahlneck
who had been steadily voting for X
Mills, chamred to Mr. Crisp.
Babbitt, of Wisconsin returned
Mr. Springer, so that the twen
ninth ballot resulted as follows : Cri
104; Mills, 94 ; McMillin; 19; Sprin
9, and Stevens, 1. - ?
At the beginmg of the thirt'

, HO MISTAKE BLADE.
The Democrats made no mistake
ill elrcting Mr. (iriip Speaker of
th Hou6. Htf is pre-eminently
the man best fitted in all respects,
of those who were candidates for
th office, to preside over the
House, end will discharge his
duties acct-p tally, impartially and
creditably. He is possessed of
much abality and is of that equa
ble temperament that never allows
excitement and turmoil te cause
his judgmeiii to lose its way. In
the iaat CongrebS he was constantly
antagonising the usurpations of
K-rd, and ws the ouly man who
withstood tits sari'atsm without
showing igus of anger and a loss
of self control. It ha been inti
mattd that Mr. Crisp did not truly
reprrsnt the Dviuucrutic party on
th Uriff question, tut there is no
truth to the assertion. He is a
genuine Democrat, and elands with
the party on ail public questions.
His speech in the caucus, which
is published in another column is
a denial of all charges against him
and drfiues his position too plainly
to be misunderstood. ?
